I agree, but that's Reflect Home and the OP was asking about Reflect Free which was retired at v8.0.7783.Macrium 8.1.7847 is the best software I ever had !

That applies to old Windows install boot USBs too, they won't boot either. Well, you can but you have to temporarily turn off Secure Boot in order to boot from old media.....AFIK, (others please correct me if I'm wrong,) if one has secure boot turned on, once secure boot revocations are either manually applied by the user OR automatically applied by MS, one cannot recover using old WINPE recovery media.
I don't think this is quite correct. It's true that the Rescue Media Builder won't recognise that the WinRE has been updated after revocations have been applied, so it won't offer to rebuild the media. But you can force a rebuild as I showed in my Macrium Forum post you gave a link for. Reflect Free certainly manage to build the WIN with the 24H2 WinRE build 26063 when I tested it.Workable WINPE recovery media must be created using the latest WINPE build. Free versions of Macrium can not create the new WINPE media using this new PE build.

If this is what you're referring to, Macrium v8.1.7847 just offered to update the Windows RE on my desktop that has the revocation applied.t's true that the Rescue Media Builder won't recognise that the WinRE has been updated after revocations have been applied, so it won't offer to rebuild the media.

No, yours is an Insider (dev?) build that has recently been updated to 26058 (from 26052?) some time after Reflect last built your boot menu. That sort of change Reflect will always detect.If this is what you're referring to, Macrium v8.1.7847 just offered to update the Windows RE on my desktop that has the revocation applied.
I have been thinking about that. I'm not saying that isn't true but If Macrium is up to date and it doesn't automatically check to see if there is a newer version of Windows RE that would be in line of as the saying goes shooting themselves in the foot. When MS automatically activates the revocations and a user doesn't know how to update the Windows RE they are going to blame Macrium when they can't use their USB Rescue Disk.Those would not trigger Reflect to ask for a rebuild as they don't change the Windows build number, and would need a forced rebuild to make a rescue usb that could boot with secure boot enabled.
MS are sensibly taking a very slow approach to this. By the time the revocations are enforced the mitigations (eg. updated WinRE) will have been in place for some time. Almost everyone with Reflect would have had OS updates and rebuilt their rescue media well before the revocations became permanent. If all goes as planned I don't think anyone is going to notice.When MS automatically activates the revocations and a user doesn't know how to update the Windows RE they are going to blame Macrium when they can't use their USB Rescue Disk.
Enforcement The final enforcement phase that will make the mitigations permanent. This phase will start no sooner than October 8, 2024.
Does anything ever go as planned?If all goes as planned I don't think anyone is going to notice.
This one has a good chance. MS seem to be taking it really slow and carefully, having pushed back the timing several times now.Does anything ever go as planned?![]()
With so many different systems It's going to be hard.This one has a good chance. MS seem to be taking it really slow and carefully, having pushed back the timing several times now.
