@michaelreed, @al3x,
Now many computers have BitLocker encryption enabled on the Windows partition by default. If you perform a backup under WinPE, these partitions are in a locked state, and Hasleo Backup Suite can only back up in sector-by-sector mode. During restoration, since the partition is still encrypted, Hasleo Backup Suite cannot modify the data in the operating system partition to match the restored partition, resulting in the system being unable to boot.
In addition, if the Windows partition is not unlocked under WinPE, HBS cannot even recognize the operating system, making it impossible to perform a system backup.
Therefore, we do not recommend performing backups under WinPE. WinPE should primarily be used for restoration operations.
Best regards,

@admin,
Thank you for that timely release. Today is the turn of HBS in my tri-weekly testing schedule. Also, since I have now managed to get 2023 Secure Boot Certificates added to my old, but venerable 2019 Dell XPS 8930 SE, I will create new EDs for both it and my laptop.
Have a great day.
Regards,
Phil

@all,
Now that UEFI firmware checks the Security Version Number (SVN) of boot files during startup, a practical issue arises: Windows security updates may raise the minimum allowed SVN recorded in the firmware, causing any Emergency Disk created before that update to become unbootable because its boot loader is too old. This means we can no longer guarantee that an Emergency Disk will always boot properly with Secure Boot enabled. In such cases, users must either recreate the Emergency Disk or temporarily disable Secure Boot to boot from the old one.
Best regards,

Everything went fine here. Updating went flawlessly. Recreating the boot menu went as expected too. Imaging, full and differential, as well as restoring went smoothly as well. Essentially, I have to errors to report with this new version.

I report NO errors too. All boots well both from the HBS ED ISO on a Ventoy disk and a free-standing bootable USB ED.
But thanks @admin for the warning about the possible need to disable SB in future.

Just upgraded to version 5.8.2.2 and I have to say — this is exactly what a backup solution should be. Fast, reliable, and rock solid. Backup and restore work flawlessly without any issues. The team clearly put serious effort into this release. Well done, Hasleo — keep up the excellent work! Thank You Very Much

The SVN is only checked if the 2011 cert is revoked.
To make sure you are always using the latest boot files for making rescue media using 2023 is to copy the file from C:\Windows\Boot\EFI_EX as that will always have the latest update to secure boot after Windows Updates.
What I was doing before 5.8.2.2 was just copying the file to Hasleo then creating rescue media within the Hasleo GUI and even if 2011 was revoked this would boot without any SVN mismatch error.
copy C:\Windows\Boot\EFI_EX\bootmgfw_EX.efi "C:\Program Files\Hasleo\Hasleo Backup Suite\bin\WADK\Boot\EFI_EX\bootmgfw.efi"
