Window 11 is 21H2. Check the Windows 11 forum, I believe there is an ISO now.
Hi Tim,
this is just my reality check, important note about Windows cloud repair/Restore.
Your opening words are absolutely the KEY to the mystery of my loosing my Windows 10 Home: "Window 11 is 21H2."
My system report prints my Windows OS was 21H2.
Too bad I had no idea and burned the ISO already on the DVD in preparation for clean install on new HDD..
Had no idea the update to Windows 11 would actually install on my PC, when it is NOT compatible (so it says).
My Windows 10 just would not Boot without any warning.
Blue screen with a blinking cursor and "Insert a boot-able device and try again". Tried directly fromUEFI boot screen.
After many unsuccessful tries, always the Cloud Windows Repair/Restore menu popped up. Sometimes it took up to 8 tries.
I have tried everything on the menu including troubleshooting boot problems, and even uninstalling last update.
I have tried several times over a couple of days.
This repair had restored all files, checked the HDD etc., all steps finished Successful every time. Yet it would not boot.
There was never any problem with any of my Windows10 or any 3d party programs, prior to this crash.
All were religiously up to date, and daily maintained.
Obviously UEFI was damaged, and or EFI file was altered by the update.
Question:
Why is not a simple Boot repair included, and run as #1 item? it should be programed into the future Windows Repair.
The reason for waking up / initiating this Repair was absence of system Boot.
Replace the EFI boot file. Check and repair MBR partition ...
So now I am forced to run the Windows 8.0 that originally came with my new PC.
That is my only OS boot(USB) I was able to create at the time (2012)
Many start menu tiles never have worked, Store included. Not working because all say internet is not connected, when it is.
Media Creation Tool will not run, and the list goes on.
Simply this update caused a horrific mess.
Thanks for your ear, my best regards
TonyH
