I'm trying to update to the latest Win 11 using the iso download from Windows. The process gets through installation, but uninstalls itself with this message. Any ideas what causes it and what to do about it? It would be nice if Microsoft told you what the actual problem is!

I uninstalled StartAllBack and installation worked, except I've got a black background instead of a blue one!

You can reinstall StartAllBack when you're done upgrading Windows.

Tried to make an incremental backup in Macrium, but it claims the recovery partition (864 Mb) is missing, whereas Disk Management says it isn't - any ideas? Should I restore it from a backup before I run Macrium?

I read you have to rename the exe file

Previous versions of SAB aren't allowed to run in 24H2.

But the developer updated it to be in compliance with Microsoft's removing Windows 10 legacy code.
