Actually the issue is not resolved, as it is quite obvious that M$ is intent on Edge being part of the 'user experience' - like it or not. The fact that they do not reference the issue in relation...

Regardless of the geek semantics related to 'reinstall Windows' - the actual cause of the issue was likely nailed by Tekkie Boy, and the hours spent applying the reinstall band aid were pretty much...

Try3 already posted that in #6. Fact is, it makes no difference if there is a problem with the CU - because the workaround is always the same - reinstall windows. Windows95 Déjà vu

Correct. ..... setup --uninstall --force-uninstall --system-level. Other boxes with Edge uninstalled the same way - update normally. This may be because of a difference in the Edge installer version...

Thanks for the responses, but when I go to the tutorials, some instructions are not clear - such as:

".....If you have Windows 10 version 20H2 installed, then it is required to have KB4586853 for...

Win10Pro 20H2 build 19042.1165 - neither KB5005565 or KB5006670 will install. KB4023057 installs without issues. After download and restart, either of the cumulative updates reach 97-100% and then...

Thanks zbook and Ken,

That was pretty much the ticket. Edited the sample reg file with the correct Device ID and the registry entry worked as described. Same goes for removal.

Just to be sure - you link states that "This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable including driver updates in Windows Update in Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Eduction edtions."
...

Thanks Ken

No. No image of the original install - it was one of those everything on C: configurations. Too large.
Your suggestion makes sense. Will give a try.

I do however, find it odd that...

Read taid's post about installing 1909 disconnected. My experience was similar. Finished the install with a local logon account, and made a Macrium image. Defragged. Configured partitions. Everything...

You are beating a dead horse...SMBv1.

Microsoft has been recommending that you disable the vulnerable SMBv1 protocol for ages. Recent ransomware outbreaks underscore the need to take this...

Straw man.

As you can see from the posted screen shots, Win 10 successfully created an image on a separate partition, but does not want to "see" it when the time comes to restore - likely, because...

Correct on all counts. Plus, you have the granularity of multiple restore points without the wasted disk space required by full backups - just by comparison on a Win7 machine

Acronis True Image...

Not a problem. Just trying to resolve an issue that may in fact not be a bug but actually by design - on the part of M$ and the supply chain.

I get the sense that this issue is also related to...

And just to be clear - updating the WindowsImageBackup gets the same result. What is that Einstein said about doing the same thing over and over? ;)5950359504

That is the way it is supposed to work, and how it has worked for years. Attached you can see what results in Win10 Pro on a Lenovo Flex 3 1580 - the screen shots tell another story. 5949559497

Well, I suppose anything is possible in the land of Unicorns and rainbows. The driver error is thrown by M$.
Intel and Lenovo are likely acting per their licensing agreement. You don't have to hold...

Rubbish?? Hardly. It's quite simple, actually - don't supply drivers - and make sure your agreements with vendors prevents users from obtaining them. The Lenovo Flex 3 1580 uses Sklylake. Here is a...

I can verify this to be the same here. Mixed Win7 - Win10 workgroup with garden variety sharing. Everything normal from the Win7 side - but the Win10 explorer does not see the connection unless...

Because it's a Windows 10 forum, not a Macrium forum, and I happen to use Windows 10.

If you have an answer to the question asked, maybe post it. We already know how to Google "Macrium".

Noticed a lot of moaning about the MS backup failing when run.

FWIW - a lot of folks trash/delete one or all of the partitions that MS creates automatically when you do a fresh install. Bad move....

I agree with your position on full images (former Acronis 8 and current 2016 user), however the convenience of the old Win7 backup within Win 10 is a +. The downside is restoring it in Win 10 - which...
