I have rarely needed to mount an image to recover individual files since I have separate data file backups, but I knew this workaround existed if needed (Macrium 8 Free v8.0.7783). Full backup and restore still work fine as long as I keep using the update script @garlin created so my Rescue boot...
Since I only used it once to add the Mosby keys, I'm not sure I will need it again. I don't even remember the steps I used to use Rufus & Mosby to add the keys. (I'm old and have frequent senior moments). ;-):LOL:
@garlin Back in December, I used Rufus to create Mosby keys needed on my old Lenovo M83 desktop. Today, after using your update script to successfully update 2 Macrium 8 Free and 2 Windows Recovery boot drives as I posted in another thread, I ran it to update the Rufus boot drive as shown here...
After the Patch Tuesday update, I had to follow your 06-08 Check instructions and update both my PCs to SVN 9. After that, I updated 2 Macrium 8 Free boot drives and 2 Windows Recovery drives and successfully booted from all 4. 👍
I think I will leave it set the way it is and not fool with SkuSiPolicy.p7b since I have a Macrium 8 Free boot USB drive that works after running your Update Script using -BootMedia. This is what SysInfo shows right now:
Thanks for the info.
@garlin I just noticed that updating the T490 UEFI BIOS to 1.85 Enabled VBS which was previously OFF under version 1.84. The 5/31 version of your check script now shows it ON and the optional SkuSiPolicy.p7b missing. Should I now install this and if so, how? Will this affect my USB boot...
I checked my older M83 desktop but there is no BIOS update for it. I'm not surprised considering it's age. Your Scripts and Mosby got all my certs up to date so that machine is fully updated:
PS C:\SecureBoot\SecureBoot-CA-2023-Updates_v2026-05-27> .\Check_UEFI-CA2023.ps1 -verbose
Windows 11...
@garlin - I updated the BIOS to 1.85. I peeked at the new BIOS Secure Boot Configuration screen but made no changes and just exited. The update added a lot of new functions that were not there before.
Just to be sure, I ran your Check Script after the update. It all looks good to me:
PS...
@garlin - using your scripts, I updated the certs on my Lenovo T490 months ago. All is normal. When I powered up the laptop this morning, I got a popup from Lenovo that there is a new UEFI BIOS update - 1.85. Reading the changes, there is one involving the certs and I'm wondering if I install...
Good to know even though I rarely have had a need to mount and browse an image. Yesterday, I successfully completed full image backups on both my PCs with no problem, so running a backup is no problem for me right now. As long as I can boot from a Macrium Rescue flash drive and restore an...
Can we boot from a Macrium Rescue flash drive to mount or restore an image from the free version 8.0.7783? I don't think it uses the psmounterex.sys driver.
