Temporarily Leaving Insider...
You can ask a friend to create a USB installation media by selecting settings (not for this computer device), or you can use WIFI in another location, e.g. at your friends and there try to download the ISO of the Stable version of Windows11, if it's just a network access problem, what do you think?
Another oddity: After I reloaded the released version of Win11242H, I haven't experienced any machine crashes since. Yesterday (after I posted the above), I decided to get back on the Insider and loaded 2222 on top of 242H. It was very quick and easy.
Within ½ days, I experienced two Greenscreens—one in NTFS.SYS and the second with no module listed. After the second crash, I couldn't even get back in to debug.
The multiple backups I had, which had saved me several times in the past three months, were suddenly "non-existent" to Recovery—there were four of them since going back to release.
Finally, I found one that I had previously written off. Recovery recognized it and worked after I changed the directory name back to "WindowsImageBackup." Thank goodness for that, or I'd have been rebuilding entirely again. This backup already had Office and many of my essential programs installed, so I was lucky there.
I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't have enough time to debug the issues thoroughly, and I'm not even sure I have the ability to do so. I can't count the number of times I run the SFC and Deployment Image Servicing and Management "health check" processes to make sure I can run stably.
Thanks for your help,
Steve
