Windows update vs Hasleo
#1
Hello,
  Seems the latest windows updates have update the EFI partition and now Hasleo doesn't recognize them report "partition not found error".
As you can see from the screenshot of Win2025 it unchecked 2 partitions from the disk.

Attached screenshot and logs

Your EFI partition hasn't changed (size wise via your screen shot), but I s'pect Windows has indeed updated your Recovery Partition using its aggravating method of orphaning your old Recovery partition and shrinking your OS partition in order to create a brand new Recovery partition (which causes both to change in size).  Hasleo (or Macrium or most other imaging tools) cannot move forward after these changes due to all the geometry changes made in your original disk image by the Windows update.

I'm not sure about Hasleo but you may have to create a brand new task to start over, I don't think you can edit your current task to incorporate the two new partitions (OS and Recovery) prior to the new FULL.  If you use a new task, when you delete the old one, don't delete its associated images... that way you can still restore from them if needed.

This occasional Windows assassination of your disk geometry can be remedied with some simple (in most cases) partitioning work (if you feel comfortable doing this) on your OS disk.  If interested, lemme know (PM) and I'll send you a description of the work I did to eliminate this issue... it's really no more than enlarging your existing Windows Recovery Partition so that future updates don't cause it to assassinate your disk geometry  Angry

In this situation, does it imply that any previous backups could not be restored?

No, they can be restored, but they will be restored using the old geometry prior to the Windows update change.

After selecting to edit the task from the menu, can HBS correctly select all the new Windows-related partitions? If all partitions are correctly selected, you just need to save the task so that you can continue performing system backups on the original system backup task.

I did edit the backup task and reselect the whole disk in order the backup to work again.

For Hasleo Backup Suite, the information of the disks/partitionsto be backed up will be stored in the task file. If the partitions/disks to be backed up are changed (for example, if a partition is deleted or the unique identifier of the disk/partition is changed), Hasleo Backup Suite will prompt the "Specified partition not found." or "Specified disk not found." error. In this case, we need to edit the backup task and re-specify the disks/partitions to be backed up. When editing a task, Hasleo Backup Suite will automatically select all Windows boot-related partitions for a system backup task, whereas for a disk/partition backup task, you need to manually select the partitions to back up.

Very well explained, thank you!
