I know nothing about British law, but I suspect Paramount is under no obligation to provide support for a product that is beyond its EoL date, and I'm sure they will not offer free upgrade to Reflect 10. However, the Macrium Reflect 8.1 LTSC (Long Term Service Channel) is supported through 2027...

I think doing regular full system backups is a good idea whether you follow Ghot's suggestions or not. Personal preference: I would not turn UAC off even if you are the only user. I feel it is good protection to be alerted when a program or function needs elevated authority. It's a minor...

Odd that the error message specifically says the download will take place "when you connect to Wi-Fi". Do you have multiple network adapters? Is maybe one of them defined as metered? What connection options do you have? Can you connect by Ethernet?

MediaMonkey v4. There is a MediaMonkey v5 that does not use VBScript, but it does not support any of the customer-written extensions written over the past 20 years. A small number of those extensions have been rewritten to work in the new environment but not the few used by this organization...

I have no idea how this application invokes its associated scripts but I'm quite sure it doesn't know how to invoke the Powershell shell. I believe it does support Javascript scripts, but not, I think, for its initialization script.

A non-profit group I work with uses an application built around (are at least relies heavily on) VBS scripts. Converting the scripts to some other language is not an option; the application expects to invoke a VBS customized initialization script plus a bunch of other customized function...

Now that any panic is past ... Yup, that happens to me, too. But it becomes usable again after I restart it. Okay, okay, I'll crawl back under my rock.

Can't. I need WiFi support. I've seen a technique to add WiFi support to WinPE but it looked complicated enough that I could easily mess it up.

Well, the good news is that Microsoft will have to fix this. If it were just the Secure Boot certificate expiration issue they might be able to tap-dance their way around it. I see here an explanation of that but I'm not sure I understand. As near as I can tell, with the corrupt WinRE stuff...

I may be completely off base here, but I think downloading and using an ADK is only applicable PE builds. The RE builds of Rescue Media use something (the winre.wim file, maybe) that gets updated by Windows maintenance. And Microsoft did something in the 2025.10 update that has caused RE...

I know how to create the recovery media - I've been doing it for several years. I'm asking about what will happen in the future when I have to create it again after 2025-10 (or later) Window updates.

I don't understand a word of what I'm posting here. I'm hoping someone will help me understand it. I've heard that people using Macrium Reflect (and some other unnamed product) that built recovery media using WinRE after installing the Windows 2025-10 update were no longer able to boot the...

Thanks for the suggestions. The printer is Ethernet-connected to my router. Its an old HP printer with installation software that scans the LAN to find an appropriate target printer. i'll try reinstalling the printer software.

My wife's laptop - a Dell of some sort - has trouble accessing our printer. If the printer is off when she boots up it shows as offline and stays that way until she reboots (with the printer on). Our other computers - 2 homegrown desktop PCs and a Framework laptop - do not have this problem...

It's also a good idea to take a backup right before you make a change with regedit unless you know your change is trivial. And it's a good idea to have a fairly recent backup just in case your definition of "trivial" isn't exactly the same as Windows' definition. And make sure you have a good...
