Very true, Reddice! I do the same thing, and am no stranger to reinstalling everything. That's why I keep my system pretty lean.

Yes, I know all about GPT vs. MBR. I thought that someone was referring to 'the' GPT partition, in the context of talking about reserved partitions and such, and I wasn't sure what they were talking about.
"GPT" is simply the whole disk format structure which you select *before* you format and partition your disks--the newest and best, imo, as opposed to the very old MBR disk structure.

Here's my Macrum Reflect partition breakdown of my home box. Note that the only two drives checked are my C:/ drive and my H:/ drive--H:/ being the destination for my Macrum Reflect backup of C:/. Note that C:/ is composed of several partitions appropriately labeled, and that C:/ is but one partition on my
GPT disk 1. Good thing is that when you first install Win10x64, it automatically sets up the partitions it needs for booting to drive c:/...

When imaging c:/, I always use the
Create an image of the partitions required to backup and restore Windows option, on the left side of the screenshot--that is automated, too! MR is highly recommended! Very fast, very good.

They were, which prompted me to look it up. I'm glad I did, because I know something new.

Microsoft has identified issues with certain new Intel display drivers. Intel inadvertently released versions of its display driver (versions 24.20.100.6344, 24.20.100.6345) to OEMs that accidentally turned on unsupported features in Windows.
After updating to Windows 10, version 1809, audio playback from a monitor or television connected to a PC via HDMI, USB-C, or a DisplayPort may not function correctly on devices with these drivers.
Workaround: To see if your device is affected and, if so, resolve the issue, see this Windows Forum post.
Next Steps: Microsoft is working with Intel to expire these display drivers, including coordinating with OEMs, and will provide an update on the resolution in an upcoming release.
For more information, see Intel Customer Support article.
Note: This Intel display driver issue is different from the Intel Smart Sound Technology driver (version 09.21.00.3755) audio issue previously documented. |

Much like my experience a while back. Hosed both machines and rather than fight/struggle with "fixing" them it was just so easy to restore my day old image with MR. Echoing "thank goodness for MR!"

I was in the middle of a clean install of 1809 adding back all my "data" to programs couple weeks ago. One program would not accept a copy of the files, no matter what I tried. I made an MR image of my clean install in progress... restored the MR image I made prior to the clean install.... exported the data using a different method... restored the clean install in progress and finished up. "MR such a life saver!"
