      Another Update:

      I did something I never do…I installed the CU Preview via Windows Update and that was successful but it still reported the version as 22H2 however the version showed 22621.2506? That’s the 23H2 build number.

      Then I installed the Enablement Package as detailed in this post here.

      Reboot and viola!
      W11-23H2-Installed
      W11-23H2-WinVerpng
      W11-23H2-Win-Update-History

      Hey Y’all,

      I originally posted this as an Update to my previous post in this thread but noticed that it didn’t show up in the “Recently Active Topics” list. So I removed it from there and pasted below.

      UPDATE:
      Well not having a good evening! (10/31/2023)

      1. I downloaded the ISO for the 23H2 update and tried an in-place-upgrade by mounting the ISO and running setup.exe. – Failed at Checking Your System screen.
      2. Installed the Windows 11 Bypasser I used above ran setup.exe – Failed at same point
      3. Uninstalled the Bypasser and then tried the setup.exe /product server method – Failed at same point.

      Seems like MS has closed the loop holes. Will probably have to revert to Win 10! But, I’ll wait a few days to see if someone comes up with another solution.

      Seems like MS is determined to make us buy new hardware to stay secure.

    • Here’s the PowerShell equivalent:
      \

      Clear-Host
        
      $ShellFoldLoc = [Ordered]@{}
      
      $Folders = @("MyDocuments","MyMusic","MyPictures","MyVideo")
      
      ForEach ($Folder in $Folders) {
      
         $ShellFoldLoc +=
           @{$Folder = $([Environment]::getfolderpath($Folder))}
      
      } #End ForEach ($Folder...
      
      $ShellFoldLoc
      

      Results:

      Name                           Value

      David,

      I just managed to sign in to both Office 365 and One Drive accounts.

      Maybe problem with your ISP?
      Have you tried different browsers?
      Have you rebooted your modem and/or router and then computer?

    • WCHS,

      One drive is a PAIN IN THE …!

      If you don’t use OD I’d suggest the following:

      1. Copy the Music files from your Onedrive\Music folder to an external device.
      2. Uninstall One Drive! Note: you can still get to your One Drive account via the web and drag and drop files in there, this is what I do
      3. Re-Boot!
      4. Now try to apply the registry file.
      5. Re-Boot!
      6. If that works you can copy your files to the new location from the external device.

    • in reply to: Hard-drive imaging — AOMEI Backupper Standard #2598278

      Paul,

      I’m still using Macrium V6 both Home and Free on my Win 10 & 11 machines and it works great. I’ve copied files all over the place and they always restore.

      The only time I’ve had a problem was a brand new machine that would not boot from the Rescue Media I had. I always like to Image a new machine BEFORE going through the OOBE so if I incur any problems I can return it to OOB condition before requesting a refund or repair.

      I used another free product to get the job done before realizing if I had just set it to Legacy Boot everything would have been fine.

      Yeah, I got that too but since it’s a Git Hub project and I have other things checking it I went ahead with it. YMMV!

      I tried this out on FF and it works great!

      One note don’t download from the link as it doesn’t tell you how to install it.
      Search for it in your Browser Extension settings, two clicks and it’s working.

      Wavy,

      It got deleted somehow????

      I’ve uploaded it again. Let me know if it works now.

      The File Hash Log.pdf has a list of all the .zip files and their MD5 file hashes.

      I’ve tried to make the names self explanatory as I can. Maybe I’ll get around to a file with explanations soon?

      If you’re interested in checking HASH codes on individual files or comparing a known HASH code to another file you can download my Check-FileHash.zip.

      Load the PS1 file into Notepad or equivalent and read the help file on how to have the program self install a shortcut into the right click menu of File Explorer. From there it’s easy to check files and generate hash codes.

      If you’re familiar with PowerShell you can also use the Get-Help [d:\path]\Check-FileHash.ps1 command since the comments are actually Comment Based Help.
