I want to congratulate @AdvancedSetup for becoming the first VIP member of the Hasleo Forums.

For those of you who do not know @AdvancedSetup, he is the Root Admin at the Malwarebytes Forum, with a post count there currently of 128,800+ plus posts.  I know that he is also an esteemed member of the Wilders Security Forum, ElevenForum, the BleepingComputer Forum, and probably others that I do not frequent.

He is very highly respected far and wide in cyberspace for his malware expertise, but also for his general computer expertise that few can rival.  I know that personally since first encountering him online 12 years ago.


The "Welcome to the Hasleo Forum" Topic post will be updated within days to reflect this new Hasleo Forum rank, and the stringent requirements to attain it.  For the record, he did not seek this new rank.  It is a recognition by @admin of his outstanding record of assisting users whenever, and wherever he can.


Welcome to the Hasleo Forum, @Advanced Setup!


Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil

About a week ago when HSB V5.8.2.0 was first installed I created an Emergency Disk and exported the ISO. The ISO was subsequently copied to my Ventoy boot USB. That ISO version is a big 1,097,600 KB. When Ventoy is booted and hbswinpe is launched I have keyboard, mouse, and wifi access. The problem is I an unable to recreate that ISO version, and I cannot remember what I did.

All the versions that I currently rebuild are about 550,000-625,000 KB and do not have keyboard, mouse, or wifi access. Some version have been built with the Hasleo Offline WinPE, and some with netwtw6e.inf and netwifimp.inf drivers included. Makes no difference.

One hint might be when the PE Network Manager is started from the Tools menu it gives the error "An error occurred while starting the TCP/IP Registry Compatibility service (2)!". This does not happen with that original build.

Any ideas or suggestions, and is there any useful information obtained from mounting the ISO and examining its contents?

I’m using Hasleo Backup Suite Free V5.6.2.1 and I am trying to restore a file to its original location. The online tutorial shows a radio button in the Restore dialogue labelled ‘Restore to original location’ but I can’t find that button in my version of the program. When I enter the file’s original location in ‘Restore to:’ I don’t find the restored file where it should be, instead I find a chain of folders mimicing the original file path starting at C:. If I specify restoring to C: I find another chain of folders in C:. How can I copy a file from backup to its original location on my PC?

Microsoft: Windows 11 KB5083769, KB5083631 block backup apps like Macrium, here's why.

This should interest the Hasleo team.

When a system image is mounted is there a way to access the protected folders? The access is needed to restore some of the folders in C:\Users\me\* that were stored in a previous build.

I did some searching on the Backup Forum but didn't find this information. I "assume" that when performing a backup of one's System Disk the copying of the Recycle Bin is excluded.  I'd just like confirmation. Thanks!

Greetings all! While listening to documentation needs here at the Forum, and balancing that with some of my own needs, I have decided to create an all encompassing, PDF-based Feature Compendium for the Hasleo Backup Suite.  I'm in discussions with Hasleo on how best to offer an on-going, updated version of this document to the user community... that's the difficult part as the on-line documentation changes quite often.  We'll keep working on this project and try and bring it to some sort of conclusion.

In the meantime, the "point-in-time" version of this document (01June2026) is called Hasleo Backup Suite - Tutorials located on my GOOGLE Drive  Feel free to use the title's active link to download this current version until we figure out how to go public with a fully supported version.

Hope this helps!

There is a known issue with Windows KB5083769 update that causes backups to fail. Almost all backup software is affected, including Acronis, Macrium, and Hasleo. For more information, please refer to:
https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/33...il-update/

Regarding Hasleo Backup Suite, several users have reported that file backups get stuck at 0% or 79%. Strangely, disk backups are not affected. The solution is to uninstall KB5083769, restart the computer, and then run the backup again.

According to @Stowdon's feedback, the issue below is also caused by KB5083769:

Based on what we've seen so far, KB5083631 also appears to cause the same issue. (This information was added on May 4)

Is the encryption feature only available in the paid version (the comparison of products on the site does not show this feature)?  The option is shown as one of the tabs in the backup option, but the "Enable encryption" check-box and passwords cannot be entered.

Hey,

I might've found a small error with the restoring process of BitLocker encrypted partitions.

If you boot from WinPE and try to restore a backup that contains a BitLocker encrypted partition, you now have the chance to retain the BitLocker encryption:



If you tick that box and try to resize the C: partition, this won't work though. I could only reduce the size by 1 MB:



If I go back and uncheck the "Retain BitLocker encryption" checkbox, I can freely resize the partition:



Is there a reason or technical limitation for that? Or is this just a small GUI error that prevents me from resizing?

Thanks,
