I’ve recently encountered an issue after attempting to boot my new laptop using a UEFI bootable USB drive. The laptop is a brand-new model with UEFI firmware, but after selecting the USB from the boot menu, it just goes into a black screen and doesn’t load the installation or recovery environment.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Ensured the USB is formatted correctly as GPT and uses a UEFI-compatible boot sector.

Disabled Secure Boot in BIOS settings (tried both ways: enabled and disabled).

Tried different USB ports, but the issue persists.

Does anyone have any advice on what might be causing this, or any settings I might have missed?

The backup operation failed when I upgraded HBS from version v4.9.3 to v5.2.2.1 (newest version)
The massage is as follows

Initializing, please wait...
Backup mode: Incremental
Compress level: Medium
Encryption mode: None
Checking file system, please wait...
The operation of checking file system is complete.
Backing up, please wait...
The backup operation failed, please contact us for support.
The system cannot read from the specified device. (0x0C8C006200000057)
The operation was not successful.

Why do I get a warning message when deleting task and related images of missing folder and prompt to delete image manually if I delete the task that doesn't have a separate folder because I have disabled the create separate folder for each newly created backup task in settings?

Why do I lose all the network adapters under Advanced network settings in Settings app after using Repair WMI.  Repair WMI also breaks Internet Connection Sharing which allows the binding of Ethernet adapter to Wi-Fi for some Ethernet devices that lack Wi-Fi connectivity and also deletes the virtual machine's network adapter such as Hyper-V Virtual Switch Extension Adapter. I had to clean install Windows to fix Advanced network settings missing network adapters in Settings.

First, many thanks for the development of HBS.
I have created an emergency disk as an ISO and deleted it.
I would like to create another emergency disk with the required drivers. 
However, the window with the selection of the drivers and the option Download WinPE Components does not appear.
   
I only see the window with the selection of a USB drive or the ISO path.
   
Then the previously created ISO is created and when I install HBS again, the desired window is available again.

Hi,

just noticed that my backup schedule didn't run as planned this month.
I use the following schedule for my backups:

- Full: Monthly on first Sat. of month, 09:00am
- Diff: Weekly on Sun. of the week,  09:00am
- Inc: Daily, 09:00am

So this should've brought me a new full backup on last Saturday, 2025/04/05. But I got another incremental backup instead, followed by a new differential one this Sunday.

I know for a fact that this schedule worked last month, backup took place on 2025/03/01, which was a Saturday.

Might this be related to daylight saving time? Clock got changed on 2025/04/30 from 02:00am to 03:00am in my timezone (Germany, UTC+1). Just a guess, maybe totally unrelated though.

Here are some screenshots of the configuration, log can also be provided if needed:

--- Current backup in progress this Sunday ---

--- Backup schedule (full backup) ---


--- Backup schedule (diff. backup) ---

EDIT: Saw existing thread about this after I posted: https://www.easyuefi.com/forums/showthre...81#pid7781

From memory, the error said: "Interprocess communication error. Please restart the PC and try again {xxxx long list of numbers xxxx}"

Cause was clicking "browse for an image to restore" from the default start "Home" tab.
After a few reboots I figured out if you go to the "Restore" tab first, and do the same thing, it works.

I struggled for 3 days to convert a notebook from MBR to GPT
Tried multiple methods (including mbr2gpt.exe). In all
cases there was always some issue.

Fortunately HBS allowed me to restore each time back to a
working version... big thanks for that.

Then I noticed the  HBS restore option for GPT so I did
a restore using that option. It worked perfectly.
I just could have saved a lot of effort
if I had seen the option at the beginning and used it!

Thanks HBS... you are super.

As you can see I do have 5 sytem backup files!

In Haselo Backup Suite only the first one is shown!

How can I open the others for  the system backup image file I want to restore?

Just ran into this error. "interprocess communication failure"

I have been doing some experimenting that has required bare metal restores
Using the same boot usb and stored backup stores were successful at least twice

Now I get the above error. 

I've tried the recommended restart process
I've tried alternative boot usb stick from another computer
HBS boots properly and it's only when I select the backup source
file that I get the error.

Any suggestions?
