Update only for 32 bit users;

Bug Fixes v7.1.2963 - 17th March 2018 Windows 7/10 32 Bit BSOD when booting A Windows Update on the 13th March has caused some Windows 7 and 10 32 bit systems to fail to load Windows after updating. The error occurs when kernel mode driver 'pssnap.sys' loads at boot time. This update removes 'pssnap.sys' from boot time configuration. Note: Simply deleting the file is insufficient to resolve the problem. We recommend that 32 bit installations of Macrium Reflect on XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7, 32 bit operating systems update to this release. If you have already updated Windows and experience this error then please see this KB article for a solution: https://knowledgebase.macrium.com/di...Windows+Update If you have not yet updated Windows then please update to this version of Macrium Reflect to enable Windows to update without problems. After updating, XP, Vista and Windows 7 32 bit systems, will no longer have 'pssnap.sys' available. If MS VSS shadow copies fail, then your backups will no-longer fall back to using 'pssnap'. Please ensure that any VSS errors are resolved to successfully complete your backups.

Thanks Cliff. I still have one 32bit Machine. It's never been win 7 but I'll update anyway.

I have an old AMD based PC which started giving this behaviour and fault. I thought I had a memory or other hardware fault! I've applied this fix and the PC is now fine.

Well that is a touch confusing now having a separate
build number for 32/64 bit?

That's what I thought but it's not being offered for 64bit.

Hi,
I use the winpe cd a lot and it's a fairly old one actually have several just in case but haven't had any issues using it besides the normal long time for it to actually kick in and display reflect recovery ui.

The WinPE MR recovery doesn't need any locking mechanisms (VSS or pssnap.sys) as Windows is not running.
