[QUOTE="plat, post: 1056442, member: 74969"] Doesn't Microsoft sign software .exe that have been verified and vetted by them beforehand? Otherwise they may be filtered out by SmartScreen (which did not object to this .exe) or possibly Secure Boot. In fact, the only thing that blocked the process (and annoyed the crap out of me) was NVT OS Armor, so if one has that also, pls. disable it beforehand. I don't know if VoodooShield (oops, CL) would have messed with it though. But on Windows 11 Insiders beta, I ultimately had no issues with the backup and restore processes. Yes, the only thing really is going all the way to Micro Center and buying another USB that only costs a whopping 5 USD. It's a shlep from here. But you're right: better to make one, otherwise you tempt fate. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
