@simrick - try installing MR on top of itself. You'll get a repair option and it will rewrite it's files & dll's, etc. That's fixed goofy problems for me with MR. Something this time going to 1665 thru the auto-update process didn't quite do right. I know it's multiple machines.

P.S. - I had to install MR on top of itself because VSS broke randomly. I do not get your situation when I take the create option. It clicks right thru to this:

Well, I can't install on top of the installation, only "repair" - and that doesn't solve my problem. I guess I'll leave it - it's not hurting anything. Good to know I'm not the only one with this problem though.

It's only WindowsPE it wants to update.

Try the Rebuild option once. See if that tickles some flag to make it behave. Never can tell....fickle computers.................

Anyone notice this? I have made recovery media on three different W10 systems (2x64+1x86) - all updating to v6.3.1665 each time. Then, when I go back, it wants to update the rescue media again to the same version, over and over and over.

Yeah - had same problem. I always create iso first, then write to a flash drive (accessing the Rescure drive creation menu twice).

Normally, it updates Rescue Media once, but now it does it each time you access the menu. Annoying.

Do a rebuild. See if that fixes. I have done so, and I don't get this issue.

The existing media is 1607, yet it still does this:

Thanks for confirming!

Yep... same here.

I always make 2 recovery media on USB sticks and it does exactly the same in Windows 10 and Windows 7.

Seems to be a 'bug' in the latest version of Macrium Reflect. The previous version (6.3.1549) doesn't do it.

I was going to post about it on the Macrium Reflect forums but I'm using the free version and it seems you need to be using the paid version to register and post there.

Thanks for confirming!

Exactly the same thing I do.

Nope, didn't work.

I've had that happen sometimes on a system where I have added Macrium to Windows boot menu, then a Macrium update has been downloaded and installed:

Removing the boot menu entry using BCDEDIT, then adding it again has always resolved the issue for me. Don't ask why, I have not a faintest idea!
