I do have one issue with it now. My boot ssd is reporting poor health in SMART so I am trying to clone it to a new one using Macrium reflect disk clone but the cloned disk is not bootable, just gets to a blue screen about missing boot files. But it has identical files to the other one. I am confused.
 
Hi,

Since this is not a Windows Update problem, I have split off your question from this thread.

Could you please provide the following dumpfiles if exists, although it looks like an issue with the EFI/ESP partition.

C:\Windows\Minidump\*.dmp
C:\Windows\Memory.dmp

However, personally I never recommend to clone a bad drive because you will copy over the corruptions to the new drive. Which usually results in an unstable system and/or other issues in the future.

It doesn't have bad sectors yet, just says 77% health in SMART so this is designed to be preventative maintenance.

I have a minidump file but it's from 17th November so maybe not relevant?
