winPE stick created under win 11 21H2 tried to update - " please wait ... system update" when booted

Question

Macrium creates a rescue stick with RE 11 ver 22000 64bit winPE.

When I try to boot from it it pauses for maybe 8 seconds to load winPE and then says
"please wait while we install system update"
does stuff for a few seconds and then restarts laptop (Lenovo T570)

under win10 it uses RS 10 ver 2004 64bit and boots just fine.

How fix?

Answer 1

I looked for another app to use the winPE on win11 and tried AOMEI partition assistant. Created a bootable stick and booted with same problem.

SO...

Apparently the winPE on my windows 11 is bad - how do I refresh/fix/replace it? without adding many GB to my build. That is, I want to fix the one that is built in to win11 rather than simply add another one(via ADK).

Answer 2

Well, I got around that by having Macrium install the 1GB adk and choosing the win11 one.

HOWEVER

When I just now went to create a recovery USB for win 11 (Settings/system/recovery) when it booted, guess what message I got. So the wonderful windows recovery uses the default built in winPE, which is bad.

Now how do I fix that?????????

Please find a camera or smartphone camera to take pictures and post images or share links into this thread.

For share links please use one drive, drop box, or google drive.

If you're able to boot the computer without Windows RE or PE please perform windows updates > post an image or share link into this thread.

Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
sfc /scannow
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Post images or share links of the commands with results into this thread.

Answer 4

I am able to boot to win and update things - it is current.

But when I tell a program to create a bootable stick, like a rescue stick, the winPE it uses is incorrect and causes this problem. Macrium has their own way and d/l about 1GB of stuff to fulfill the need for a winPE and that boots fine.

I got this message so I deleted the google drive link
try this
