My windows 11 says it is windows 7 home?


That was my next course of action is an sfc scan
All else fails a reformat once again
In all my years I've never ran into a weird problem like these 2
I will keep you all posted hope this last restore works because other than the windows 7 thing my computer was running fine other than things like theme and transparency issues.
Reformatting is never my bain it's the setting back up which I hate

If you don't mind the work involved in a Clean install then that would be the most effective resolution. It would also give you the opportunity to make a system image of a pristine system and hence an optioon for the future.

I don't disagree with Berton's mention of DISM but I prefer to just suggest SFC and then mention DISM only if SFC leaves behind irreparable errors [this is also the approach taken by the SFC tutorial].


Best of luck,
Denis

Yeah I don't mind the work of sfc scans dism and clean installs if I need to
What sucks is what comes after setting everything back up

Just to double check....
Open up a command prompt as admin... it should tell you the full Windows build number at the top...

10.0.22631.3155 <----- Windows 11 (23H2) (non-Insider), up-to-date.



One of the reasons we recommend 3rd party backup software so often... is that there's tons of weird things happening all the time on Windows 11. So a safety net, is a must. :-)

Macrium Reflect, AOMEI Backupper and Hasleo Backup Suite - GUIDES

How to use backup software... 1. When everything is working perfectly... make a full Windows backup. 2. Then, if something breaks... restore from the latest backup. 3. Then... try "whatever you were doing" a different way. If it still breaks Windows, then... go to step #2. 4. Repeat...

Defective entries in the Registry can fool several commands.

That's what I suspect but I've got to go.

I'll be back tomorrow,

No clue. The registry is a very big place. :-)
There may be multiple registry entries involved. And they might be in HEX or the like.

Maybe our local alien @Brink may have a suggestion.

No, it's the imminent existence of a fully-baked smoked bacon joint.

Chris - There are several but I'd have to experiment to see which could persist if they were wrongly entered.
The first ones I'll check are in
