What annoys me most is that my 150% DPI setting is not being applied throughout the sytem - e,g, the start menu. That makes it difficult for me to operate due to my very poor eyesight.

You have to change the immersive DPI, (for the Start Menu), in PC Settings►PC and devices►Display►More options(bottom)►Default or Larger(from drop down).

Thanks Edwin! Doing that also changes the text size on the Start Menu.

Restoring windows created images doesn't seem to work. I've tried with both newly created image and old image. Can someone please confirm and do an image restoration test using windows created images?

Thanks.

Worked okay here.
(NOTE: If you're dual booting it will backup and restore both system drives)

Since I mainly use Macrium Reflect for imaging, it took me a while to figure out how to create and restore a Windows system image, but I was able to do so.

Blurry and pixelated icons in notifications

Adding lots of virtual desktops cause the + button to dissappear off-screen

Yeah right, that's how I always do it. But here it does not do anything for Lucida Console fonts.

I'll add that to list.

Your first image tells exactly what's wrong: you are using 32 bit WinPE (recovery disk) trying to restore a 64 bit Windows or vice versa. If you want to restore a 64 bit image, you have to use 64 bit recovery disk, it trying to restore a 32 bit system you need a 32 bit recovery disk.

Thanks, that is a good tip. Unfortunately my display is not supported (generic VMware)

I agree with that, one of the first things I did was to install Skype on the desktop and Chrome.
Internet Explorer is also running on the desktop.

The less I see of the apps the better, at least for me none of them seemed to work as well as the desktop counterparts.

But macrium images work 100%. I tested restoring from Win 10 back to Win 7 using image restoration. Macrium works but not the native windows image restoration utility.

This is a shot of succesful Macrium image restoration using Macrium bootable USB recovery media:

Thanks.

I've used it three or four times already as I try things out and then need to get back to clean base image. Have to say its been faultless for me.

Talking of disk imaging, could this be a bug......

I was offered an optional update yesterday (NVidia Hyper Transport Bridge or something) which installed fine. Today I had to go back to a system image that was made before yesterdays update was installed. The recovered image when I run Windows Update shows no updates to install (apart from a Defender one). I've kept trying and nothing is offered. There was a normal KB update as well and that too is not being offered today on the recovered image.
