I will wait for the next version to try again to use the .OPE option. This afternoon I was focused on getting my weekly imaging done, and ran into a few snags with my laptop so I got far behind schedule.
Phil, you can just reinstall the version you are running (rather than wait for a new one) and get all the build options once again... FYI!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but another way to get the build options to show up again is delete the winpe.iso (from memory, forget the exact name, should be in root/bin Hasleo install folder? That is a copy of the "recovery" iso) and edit the "Hasleo.ini" (again forget name for sure, in main folder, it was the only *.ini file in mine) and change the line about "choosing build options" from "0" to "1"? Sorry I can't remember the exact names of anything I put in quotes, I don't have it installed to check, but it should make sense when you see it.
Thank you for your advice. I am content to wait until the next release. I will not be using HBSP for another three weeks, unless I must because there is a catastrophe. and I must use HBSP for a restore, which I hope does not happen. In the intervening weeks, I will be using alternating two other imaging products for my weekly full Disk/Partition images, as explained in my comparison topic in this Forum between MR8, ETBH, and HBSP.

Red is normally a sign of an error ... Should the success message not be in green or blue?
Are you referring to the message below? It's actually an informational notice (telling the user that their current WinPE complies with the UEFI 2023 certificate requirement), not an error message. Displaying it in red can easily be mistaken for an error, perhaps consider using yellow or green instead.

In earlier versions, you had to manually delete image.iso to recreate the WinPE. However, starting from V5.8, you no longer need to manually delete it, simply click "Re-create WinPE Image ISO" to easily recreate the WinPE.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful suggestion.
You are absolutely right, using red could be misleading. We've decided to follow your advice and switch to a more neutral yet noticeable colour, such as amber/golden yellow, in both dark and light modes, to keep the message clear but not alarming.
Thank you again for helping us improve the user experience.
How do you get back the option to use the OPE file after you tick the "Download WinPE components" box? I seem to have lost it and also where this option is discussed in the Forum.

You need to manually delete the file C:\Program Files\Hasleo\Hasleo Backup Suite\bin\WADK\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\winpe.wim first, and then you can re‑select to use the .OPE file to create WinPE.
