  1. i dont understand, whats the difference with the in place upgrade except easier for end users, i need this in windows recovery environment when windows does not start, not in a running windows, is this also possible?

  2. Looks like a great addition to Windows. However I still keep my method which is to clone backup the whole drive on a weekly basis to another drive and send another copy to a NAS. Better safe than sorry

  3. Hmm well Brian mate something from Microsoft that at first sight looks to be helpful instead being of the constant stream of utter stonewalling that they put out.

  4. I tryed this when my PC had problems and it didn't help, the best solution for me was to Reset the PC and remove everything except files and that worked very well, sometimes it just reinstalls the corrupt system

  5. Will this feature reset the registry as well?
    for example with all the registry tweaks on Windows 11 to make it more like Windows 10?
    Also, I went to go check this out and see that my version is also greyed out, can not access it?

  6. Another great video. I have just tried it but to no avail. I got this error message Install error – 0xc1900101. I have installed Adobe Photoshop Beta V25.8. It worked fine for a few days and the next time I tried to start the programme I got this error message The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). I have tried all the methods on youtube but to no avail. I installed V25.8 and it works fine. I need to udpated to V25.9 because it has more options regarding Generative AI. Can you please tell me how to sort out this problem?

  7. This is a great Windows feature Brian. I bet you can't do this in Linux. 🤣🤣
    I've just tried it on an old Windows 10 laptop with unsupported hardware. It took three hours but worked fine.

  8. Big thanks for another highly useful video Brian, I have used this feature to fix a corrupted component store that just wouldn't budge, worked great.
    Could you please consider doing a video on the use of DISM, in particular the option on RestoreHealth in using a not online source to repair, iso or actual installation media, issues like source file with .WIM or .esd ..etc, I find Microsoft documents on that very poor and struggled to get it to work with image repair sources other than the standard "online". A video on that from you would be very valuable knowledge source, many thanks.

  9. nice 1 my friend Britec09 , but let me ask you please , the commands on the powershel >dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth>>and >> dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth << is useful and looks like the same on this video?

  10. What would be great with this feature as it does sound the same as an inplace upgrade is if they could make it work from the recovery partition (or usb boot) when Windows is so broken it can't actually boot into the OS. There is no OS repair option from outside the OS that will keep existing files/apps/setting and it would be ideal if MS could fix that.

  11. Okay all sounds good, but what if you can't get into the system to get to that system recovery point to reinstall your version, then what? Not saying it has happened, but it could, after all it is windows. I wonder if it might be a good idea to do this reinstall once or twice a year. Thanks.

  12. I found this a week ago before I saw this video, and I can confirm it is excellent. The reason I used it was because I had gone through every step in trying to get my Microsoft 365 metro app to work. I had firstly tried going to the advanced settings for the metro apps. I had tried the repair. I had tried the "reset" the app. I had even uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Nothing worked. Then before resetting my PC, I saw that Windows Update had "let Windows Update repair your system". It took what felt like ages, but everything is now working wonderfully!

    One BIG word of warning though. When I did this, @Britec09, the Windows Update decided to update my UEFI Bios. So it is extremely important you do not turn it off, and you let it complete. Otherwise you might not even be able to boot up into anything at all.

  13. Thank you Brian it's a good way and what I always used was paragon har disk manager 15 pro with a recovery capsule, 17 hasn't got it anymore and I could write the exact image, start f10 recovery if MBR or use waik winpe if uefi and by the button on boot I could load into win pe and restore the image, the whole disk including efi and service partitions without any physical media which was good and the recovery capsule was a hidden partition. It's a shame they stopped doing it on 17

  14. might be helpful sometimes for somebody but..
    corrupted usually means that system doesn't boot, or just in safe mode.
    Good old reinstall is a better way, I think
    Backup is really must have

  15. mayhaps I'm da only one, u show blue screen of death, I can't go to settings or anywhere else past the blue screen, nuffin just blue screen, no maneuvering, bypassing blue screen

  16. Good scheme, but I always keep historic ISOs and 3-monthly System images, plus data backups. People I know say I'm being over-the-top but having had hardware and Storage failures in the past, I like to (hopefully) save myself from future grief. Anything that helps has got to be good.

  17. This is an interesting feature, however, I wonder if it would do much to help with the kind of problem I encountered recently. It turned out that there was the Desktop folder missing in folder "C:WindowsSystem32configsystemprofile" and when I tried to create a new firewall rule, it would pop up an error informing me of the fact it was missing. I have no idea what caused this, but it seems quite similar to another similar problem I encountered once on a friend's computer who had a third party antivirus and it stopped doing signature updates. So, I had to troubleshoot it so that I would restore its ability to get signature updates. It turned out that a Temp folder was missing in his case that the antivirus absolutely needed in order to do updates. In his case, I suspect some freeware disk cleaner deleted the folder because it was empty. It seems it is not always a good idea to delete empty folders on Windows. It might break something.
