Good morning jimbo Yes, using v8 Workstation & I tried WinRE and every iteration of WADK possible, nothing worked. And I guess that makes sense with what the cause finally turned out to be. I've got lots more to learn about.

I do not have Malwarebytes installed on my computer. I use the built-in malware protection from Bitdefender.

I'll be contacting Bitdefender support to see if they can advise of settings that will allow both programs to safely co-exist. Thanks everyone for your time, help and assistance.

It appears the culprit is Bitdefender ActiveShield. Must have been something in a relatively recent AV update cause this wasn’t an issue a few months ago.

So I've been working in my main profile (which has administrator rights) this whole time including the clean-boots. When I dropped back to the "full" Administrator profile and did a clean boot I was able to successfully create the boot menu option for Reflect. After a reboot I was able to...

Wholly cow ... that's a lot of info - this will take some time to get thru ... TNX

My Windows install was an upgrade from version 10 Pro. I was under the impression that you only got the WinRE partition if you performed a clean install of Windows 10 onto an empty disk with no existing partitions, then Windows Setup would create and configure a WinRE partition for you...

This is just so weird. It seems like the RE/PE files aren't available for Reflect to use Dism and Image to do its work but when I look they are where they should be ... I'm at a loss (& apparently Macrium Tech support is as well since I've not heard back from them in over a day now)

First off I'd like to thank you again for the time you've committed here and I appreciate your sharing of knowledge. The commands were pretty straight forward. After the "/Get-MountedImageInfo" to verify there was nothing mounts that shouldn't be I performed both the cleanup commands. Nothing...

Thanks for your suggestion, I don't know enough about "DISM" to feel comfortable in what the commands are attempting to perform. And I don't want to sound ungrateful but it will take me a little bit while I research this so I can understand what is happening. I'll report back after I've done...

Yes thanks

Yes I have several. I can create the Macrium Media from another, but I was hoping to get the Windows Boot media working on this particular PC.

Thanks ... another suggestion from the Macrium support tech which lead to the same result unfortunately.

Following Occom's Razor, I'll try the easiest solution first ... the DISM refresh
