WintoUSB lets you install Windows to an external drive. Can anyone confirm for me that it is possible to do this and boot into Windows on a Mac from an external drive? Considering this as a solution as I do not want to partition my drives.

Hey,

I just discovered that I can't connect to my Synology NAS via SMB2/3 anymore when booting from the WinPE rescue media. Pretty sure this had worked in the past already.

Rescue media was created with:
- current Windows 11 Pro build 24H2 26100.3775 (German)
- Hasleo Backup Suite v5.2.2.1

When booting from the created WinPE I get the following error when trying to connect with "net use":
System error 1727, Remote procedure call failed



--

When I try to use the PE network manager, I get these errors instead:
An error occured while starting the TCP/IP Registry Compatibility service (2)! Program will exit now.



--

The program won't exit though and I can try to connect with the same settings I used with "net use". This exits with the following error unfortunately:
The remote procedure call failed and was not executed.



--

I then recreated the boot media with a more recent Windows 11 test build:
- Windows 11 Pro Canary build 27823.1000
- Hasleo Backup Suite v5.2.2.1

When booting from this test build, everything works as expected as shown in this screenshot:



--

Booting from a current Windows 11 image and trying to mount the path directly also works (after an initial "wpeinit"):
- Windows 11 image: de-de_windows_11_consumer_editions_version_24h2_updated_april_2025_x64_dvd_ea86301d.iso



--

So I'm not sure what the problem might be.

Is there a bug in the current Windows 11 version or is something wrong with my Windows 11 build?
Can anyone reproduce these problems?

Thanks!

Hello,
  If a job is running and you click on the tray to show the main windows it doesn't show the current progress.

I'm notified of an error  0x1EC90036000000E9 every time I try to backup a system.

email I receive:

subject: [❌Failed WORKGROUP\DESKTOP-C3SI6T1] Hasleo Backup Suite notification message from "System Backup 20250304163552"

System Backup

The task failed with 0x1EC90036000000E9.

I have no clue where to look.  Please assist.

Thanks,

In addition to the message "Backup in progress, please wait"
a bit more information on the backup which is running might be helpful:
- Backup name
- Source
- Target
- Current backup speed in Mbit/s
 
This would help to make absolutely clear which backup is currently running
and if there is a speed bottleneck.

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.
