    Thank you KapilArya this worked for me on @home Windows 11 Pro.

     Microsoft,

     I hope you realize this is not a real-world solution, but a work around for more advanced Windows users. Most users do not know enough about computers to perform such a task, not to mention the burden this issue will put on what will hopefully only be a limited number of Enterprise organizations.

    Hi, this fixed the problem.
    Only I had to do was to type efi after the command "mountvol y: /s"

    Thanks for the help.

    Hi Kapil Arya,
    Thanks for your reply.

    I am sad to say that this method didn't help.

    This is shown when I am entering "mountvol y: /s"

     

    Also let me inform you that the efi partition is 100% free

    I will be happy if you helped me on this 🙂

     

    Thank you.
