Emergency Media Creation

[Epictetus]

That is somewhat disturbing! So I could have my .DBI file on a USB device which is not recognised when I try to boot in to it to do a restore.

I think I might stay with any WinPE disks created in 24H2 until MS fixes this problem.

I have conducted tests and confirmed that this issue affects Hasleo, Aomei, and Macrium Reflect. On my test computer, EaseUS was not affected because it always downloads WinPE from Microsoft - at least on this computer.

Some users have reported encountering this issue.

I have done a few tests too and found that when I tick the box to download WinPE from MS in the Emergency Disk Creation process, I get an image which is better suited to the size and scaling of my display. That is, an image created this way does not have the very small fonts or incomplete boxes that I (sometimes/often) get when using the 'inbuilt' WinPE on my machine's SSD. It takes longer to create the WinPE disk this way but seems like a better way to go for me at least on this particular machine anyway.

Of course, I have not done the extensive testing you have, and I have just done my testing in 25H2, but interesting.
