Good to know. I'm still on 25H2 and just figured out from topics here on the forum how to update the secure boot certs on the Macrium Rescue USB drive after updating them on my 2 systems. They boot just fine now.

How do you update the rescue media? (what thread?)

Can you just disable secure boot?

I assume you meant "How." Starting at the post below, there are a couple of methods that work. The main steps are to replace the bootmgfw.efi and bootx64.efi files.

Yes, you can also disable secure boot but I preferred finding a way to make the Rescue Media USB stick boot without have to go into the BIOS and make changes.

Another Macrium Secure Boot Question

I did just that.

Bree are you expecting Macrium to stop working after this certificate issue is implemented or is it just a matter of rebuilding the boot thumbdrive. I thought we went through the mandated recreation of the boot medium about a year ago.

I didn't see your post Nikki605.

Is one solution just rebuild the Macrium rescue media rather than editing / replacing files?

I tried just rebuilding the Macrium Rescue USB drive after updating the certs on my 2 systems, but they wouldn't boot. I had to replace the 2 files I mentioned, then they booted.

No. The only problem after CA 2011 revocation should be booting from Reflect's recovery USB.

A simple workaround would be to turn off Secure Boot temporarily. A better fix would be to copy the CA 2023 signed boot files to the USB, or into C:\Boot\Macrium so it will build 2023-bootable media. The boot files are already ready and waiting on up to date W11 machines.

Another Macrium Secure Boot Question - post #55

I'm hoping that the reason Macrium keep revising the end date for v8 extended support is that they're working on a patch to fix it for us, but it's not quite ready yet.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven below to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    My SYSTEM THREE is a Dell Latitude 5410, i7-10610U, 32GB RAM, 512GB NVMe ssd, supported device running Windows 11 Pro.

    My SYSTEM FIVE is a Dell Latitude 3190 2-in-1, Pentium Silver N5030, 8GB RAM, 1TB NVMe ssd, supported device running Windows 11 Pro, plus Insider Beta, Dev, and Canary builds (and a few others) as a native boot .vhdx.

    My SYSTEM SIX is a Dell Latitude 5550, Core Ultra 7 165H, 64GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, supported device, Windows 11 Pro 24H2, Hyper-V host machine. Updated to 25H2 on 30th September 2025.

    My SYSTEM SEVEN is a Lenovo Thinkpad T580, Intel Core i7-8650U, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD + 2nd 512GB NVMe SSD, a supported device for Windows 11. This is my current general purpose 'main machine'. The installed Windows 11 Home from my System One has been migrated to this machine.

This has happened before where Paramount issues an update beyond EOS if they find a critical error that potentially corrupts a backup.

This is essentially goodwill but does not mean Paramount are obligated to update EOS date.

A simple workaround would be to turn off Secure Boot temporarily. A better fix would be to copy the CA 2023 signed boot files to the USB, or into C:\Boot\Macrium so it will build 2023-bootable media. The boot files are already ready and waiting on up to date W11 machines.

I'm a KISS kind of gal. Simple is good. I makes no sense to me why anyone would fiddle-faddle with known good recovery media when it's not necessary. If I'm working on a system that has secure boot enabled, I temporarily turn it off to use Macrium recovery.

The last FREE version is still working fine for imaging disks and browsing images. I'm not sure what any of the later paid / subscription models offer in addition - especially if you use physical vhdx files, keep your W11 installs small and store other stuff on different disks / or on the cloud.
You can image not only the W11 disk but also any data disks you may have == with vhdx physical files there's a zillion more options now than paying for backup software either one-off or by subscription.

Provided you have ANY sort of Windows install media you can always recover a vhdx W11 install by booting the install media re-install the boot loader via repair windows-> command mode -> bcdboot.exe etc -- plenty of examples on this forum on how to do it.The backed up vhdx file can be copied back to the appropriate disk too easily enough.

Out of curiosity, what are "physical vhdx files"? All vhdx files are physical, in the sense that they exist on a physical disk. Or is there another concept involved in this?

Normally vhdx files refer to files created when you define a Virtual machine. Physical vhdx files do not require the use of Virtual machines and are bootable directly. With a Virtual machine you have to boot Windows first and then the VM.

Create them by using Diskpart. Plenty of examples on the Forum. It's a good way of having different (physical) builds of Windows on even the same physical disk - and of course all legally licensed if your original Windows system is legit.So a great way of testing various (physical) builds of Windows even from different channels.

Did you mean 'without installing Macrium' on the computer you wish to back up? If so the answer is yes, you can boot from a recovery drive and use it to make an image of the computer.

Jimbo is referring to native boot vhdx....
A native-boot VHDX can be used as the running operating system on designated hardware without any other parent operating system.
Click to expand...
Create Windows 11 Virtual Hard Disk (VHDX) at Boot to Native Boot

A .vhdx file, when mounted, appears as a virtual hard drive with its own set of partitions. Reflect can image from and restore to a Microsoft virtual drive as easily as it can to a physical drive. If you boot from a Macrium recovery drive to image a native boot vhdx machine, then you'd need to open a command prompt, run Diskpart, then use the commands SELECT VDISK FILE=<full path to .vhdx> and ATTACH VDISK to mount the .vhdx before Reflect could see and image the 'Msft Virtual Disk'.

So I created a boot media and want to test it out on the different windows machine I have. The first computer works fine, but the second computer, the bluetooth mouse didn't work but I can get around that with a USB mouse. How do I identify and download the network drivers? I notice that there is an option to download the network drivers.

The Reflect rescue media automatically includes the drivers from the PC on which it was created. To use on another PC you may need to add drivers. These instructions are for Reflect X, but they should apply to Reflect v8 too.

Managing Drivers for Macrium Reflect Rescue Media

- Overview - Viewing Drivers when Creating Rescue Media - Overriding Existing Drivers - Manually Adding Drivers to the Rescue Media - Acquiring the Driver Files - 7-Zip - Temp Folder - Adding the Driv
kbx.macrium.com

This is the v8 manual in pdf form, the instructions to add drivers start on page 314.
