Usb Download Tool Windows 10

[Onfroi Baird]

Asa follow-up to the CrowdStrike Falcon agent issue impacting Windows clients and servers, Microsoft has released an updated recovery tool with two repair options to help IT admins expedite the repair process. The signed Microsoft Recovery Tool can be found in the Microsoft Download Center: =2280386. In this post, we include detailed recovery steps for Windows client, servers, and OS's hosted on Hyper-V. The two repair options are as follows:

Recover from WinPE (recommended option)

This option quickly and directly recovers systems and does not require local admin privileges. However, you may need to manually enter the BitLocker recovery key (if BitLocker is used on the device) and then repair impacted systems. If you use a third-party disk encryption solution, please refer to vendor guidance to determine options to recover the drive so that the remediation script can be run from WinPE.

Recover from safe mode

This option may enable recovery on BitLocker-enabled devices without requiring the entry of BitLocker recovery keys. For this option, you must have access to an account with local administrator rights on the device. Use this approach for devices using TPM-only protectors, devices that are not encrypted, or situations where the BitLocker recovery key is unknown. However, if utilizing TPM+PIN BitLocker protectors, the user will either need to enter the PIN if known, or the BitLocker recovery key must be used. If BitLocker is not enabled, then the user will only need to sign in with an account with local administrator rights. If third-party disk encryption solutions are utilized, please work with those vendors to determine options to recover the drive so the remediation script can be run.

Additional considerations

Although the USB option is preferred, some devices may not support USB connections. In such cases, we provide detailed steps below for using the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) option. If the device cannot connect to a PXE network and USB is not an option, reimaging the device might be a solution.

Prerequisites for using the boot media

The BitLocker recovery key for each BitLocker-enabled impacted device on which the recover media is used may be required. If you are using TPM-only protectors and using the safe boot option, then the recovery key will not be required. If you are using TPM+PIN protectors, then you may need the recovery key if you do not know the PIN for the device.

Using recovery media on Hyper-V virtual machines

The recovery media can be used to remediate impacted Hyper-V virtual machines. To do so, select the option to generate an ISO when creating the recovery media using the steps above. For non-Hyper-V virtual machines, follow instructions provided by your hypervisor vendor to utilize the recovery media.

Using PXE for Recovery

For most customers, the options listed above or following the steps in the KBs linked towards the end of this post will help restore your devices. However, if devices are unable to use the option to recover from USB, for example, because of security policies or port availability, IT admins can use PXE to remediate.

To use this solution, you can use the Windows Imaging Format (WIM) that the Microsoft Recovery Tool creates in an existing PXE environment as long as the impacted devices are on the same subnet as the PXE server. Alternatively, you can either use the PXE server approach outline below. This option works best when the PXE server can be moved subnet to subnet easily for remediation purposes.

I've got a zillion different tool windows all docked & hidden in IntelliJ but what I'd really like to do is to close some of them. I'll never use them and they're just adding to the visual clutter. There are buttons for everything BUT closing.

I expect that you may need to reinstall from ISO as an upgrade install with the keep settings and applications option to fix this. I usually specifically select the applications to remove myself as part of my own script and avoid removing the builtin Appx packages not available for reinstall from the Microsoft Store unless sure will not be needed.

But after realising most win11 machines had snipping tool (which they needed, I am still using older lappy on win10) as the scripts were deployed to win11 machines only, I reviewed the scripts and it did not have snipping tool in it, so snipping tool might had been a bundle of some kind.

The treemap represents each file as a colored rectangle, the area of which is proportional to the file's size. The rectangles are arranged in such a way, that directories again make up rectangles, which contain all their files and subdirectories. So their area is proportional to the size of the subtrees. The color of a rectangle indicates the type of the file, as shown in the extension list. The cushion shading additionally brings out the directory structure.
