Thank you Al.

>>>My windows 11 is sick. I tested the code on Windows server 2016 and on an old windows 10 computer. Everything wen through practically smoothly. Perfect on WIndows Server 1016 but Slooooower on windows 10.
>>>
>>>So...
>>>
>>>8-< Now I'm wondering if there is a way to install a fix for that error without having to reinstall windows 11.

>>If your SSD is beefy enough I'd just add another OS.
>>Since Win7 it is not as much of a hassle as before -
>>as Win allows install into a vhd (vhdx in Win10/11),
>>so no need to futz with multiple partitions or multiple disks.

>>For safety reasons I still have 2 partitions (in case 1 gets nuked)
>>I have Hyper-V server 2019 and W11 23H2 on one,
>>W11 22H2 plus W10/64 and W10/32 on the other.
>>
>>Create the VHDX as type=expandable maximum=120000;
>>those files stay here at 40 - 60GB each, easy to save/backup to external
>>with a batchfile doing some gymnastics moving dirs into special save dir,
>>calling robocopy with specific targets for each partition and my other directories.
>>
>>One caveat: I have most of my programs as portable apps in extra directory,
>>so ~20 GB of programs are not in each vhdx, but external and common for all.
>>It is mostly MS programs (except vfp and Office 97) still in OS.vhdx\Programs or
>>OS.vhdx\Programs (X86).
>>
>>Last step minimizes work when adding / testing new installs a lot
>>Create an USB boot stick with ventoy and many .ISO and the task gets easy -
>>and you are set to help others without a total OS wipe.
