I just found the solution to my problem, why did I even not looked up this forum. Thanks for this sir!

 

Windows 7 has it built in. Go to... Control Panel - Backup and Restore - Create a System Image. Saved me a few times. On my system I have needed to reinstall Windows then run the recovery from the new install. Every time I have restored from the image I had to go to the 'Advanced Recovery Methods' section and run it from there. For some reason it always fails if I run it from the installation media option. Worth remembering if it happens to you.

 

Hmm, September 2021 rollup introduced a Bsod in ci.dll when used in a virtualbox vm with guest additions installed.

all rollups since have been affected


SECURITY_COOKIE: Expected 0000f88000c06111 found d367f2deff0a6746

They made a change to support drivers with multiple countersigned sha256 signatures better,

After installing the June update, Shared Folders stopped working. I have two shared drives that I was able to access just fine before the upgrade. Now, not only that I'm not able to access these drives from other devices, but every time I try to open the Sharing tab within each drive's properties, Windows Explorer freezes.

Well done Microsoft.

 

can you tell which update has caused that problem?

 

June Patch - Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB5014748)

 

Huh, look at that. Never knew that existed.

 

I tried this. KB5006749 is installed. KB5008244 & KB5007236 the installer says "update dont applies to the system.

And now in June KB5014748 also fail.

yes boot folder and bfsvc.exe exist.
I dual boot this drive with linux lmde5 also... if that is useful info...

ok. I will try that that manual method next. thanks.

 

I myself use Macrium Reflect 8 Free Home Edition.

And create a bootable USB rescue pen drive.

Boot that and back up to an external USB 3 hard drive (dedicated for image backups) attached to the PC.

Or if the PC does not have USB 3, connect to another PC (that has USB 3) on the LAN where the external hard drive is attached to it and shared.

LAN is all gigabit.

Plus the backup image is "explorable" if needed.

(This was really handy for a Win 7 PC that was not ready to go to Win 10 during the original Free Upgrade window. I put in another hard disk and restored the Macrium backup to it. Booted from it and went through the Free Upgrade process. Once Windows 10 was installed and activated, removed it and reconnected the original hard disk. When it was finally time to upgrade the PC to Win 10 (Win 7 end of support), the original Free Upgrade window had closed. But since Win 10 was once activated, clean installing Win 10 activated with no problems.)

 

So it's just the two patches for June? And that's it?
