[QUOTE="B-boy/StyLe/, post: 1075804, member: 99565"] Hi, Yeah, that was me there. I've raged a little bit because the KB5034763 gave me a headache, and I've never had a problem after an update for the last few years. I've described the issue here as well, and on Reddit too: [URL unfurl="true"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/windows-10-february-2024-patch-tuesday-kb5034763.128991/[/URL] Probably only some of us are affected, but my system is well maintained, but I have no clues what cause the issue. But will run some tests to try finding the culprit. It's ok. That's why I am using Macrium Reflect for, after all. But [USER=31436]@roger_m[/USER] is right. You no longer need a program to migrate an OS to a new hardware (unless your SSD is dying, and you are buying a new one) to replace it.
