Solved Defect in Disk Mgmt (W11 build 22000.376)

Hi folks
I'm getting error --if I open disk mgmt from the basic screen the create and attach vhd is greyed out (works still in Diskpart command though via command line) --however if I open the show side panel all the options are available and working. Seems strange to now have to do more keyboard / mouse actions to achieve a result that worked simply before. I'm not sure what updates caused this as it was always working OK.







Probably time for a re-install -- incidentally feature is working properly on the Insider release preview /beta (or whatever its called these days) build.

Cheers

You selected EFI partition, which is why create and attach vhd is greyed out select none protected partition.

I don't think that makes any difference as the dialog throws up a Browse panel when its working (it does on W10 and other editions on W11) with same disk geometry.

FreeBooter is correct, it does. Only when the EFI partition is selected are they greyed out. I've just checked, and this behaviour is identical in Windows 10.



Select any other partition, or click a blank area so no partition is selected, then they are not greyed out.

MEA CULPA on my part

You are 100% correct

On checking the W10 system the cursor was on another disk (any is OK) apart from the EFI file.
On W11 moving cursor down anywhere off the top line (EFI partition) it worked properly.

Too many liquid fluids I think in the last few days.

Will mark this as solved and thanks !!!
