How can this be fixed? And that desktop is not what I name a PC that I am installing windows on.
It must associate this name with my online MS account?
And the data there must be bogus, as it churns a while like 5 minutes thinking about it, then escapes the screen and moves on, never restoring anything.
I think that desktop-H2L8KHA is an old dead PC from years ago. I have that sitting on a shelf for parts, the MB shorted out on it.
And I have 5 or 6 PC's registered to my MS online account, 4 are in constant use.
See here what I mean
This is the record online for the ASUS Laptop on which I just reinstalled win 11 and it refers back to a different desktop for restore values with a 2042 date?
How can I associate a proper backup for each different PC?
I also found my wife's PC is the desktop-H2L8KHA and it is on all the time
I'd question the Version number of 2009 [Sept. 2020] for Windows 11 since it wasn't RTM/Released to Market/Manufacturing until Oct. '21. But 2009 may be a date/number for one of the Insider Preview iterations.

What I reinstalled from was direct from MS website using their media creation tool to the USB drive. I booted and installed. And that is what it is. I made the drive 2 days ago.
Shows up at the end of a win 11 install. I installed now 3 times to 2 different Laptops and that same screen appears with the 2042 date. Looks like some kind of data source stored online at MS for my account.
I have 7 registered to my account devices, I looked at all of them and they all say 2009
2 recent installs last 2 days, others couple years ago.
Most have differing OS build numbers
Three of these have not been on for couple of years.
First 2 in the list are fresh within 2 days for the installs, with same OS build numbers from the USB creation tool I just made 2 days ago

Look in Regedit at Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion and you'll find that 2009 is the value for ReleaseId. This is true for everything from Windows 10 20H2 up to the latest Insider Canary build. Window 8.1 or earlier did not have this ReleaseId item.
This registry value is apparently deprecated now, which is why it no longer changes.
