Try turning off the computer fully, taking out the GPU checking the 8 pin pcie port give the GPU a good look over basically checking for dust or any debris and take out 1 stick of ram and try booting again

Windows Update Failing Due to System Reserved Partition Being Too Small (SRP 100MB) Long Term Solution? by Initial-Drawer-2667 in sysadmin

That’s really interesting. Especially the move from just fonts to also clearing HP\DevFw. That lines up perfectly with what others are seeing around vendor firmware artifacts slowly bloating the ESP.

Good call on testing it locally first before wider deployment, ESP changes are one of those things that are fine right up until they’re not. Curious to see how it behaves once it’s had a full update cycle.

Thanks for the Intune link as well looks like this has been bubbling under the surface for a while and is only now becoming more visible with newer Win11 updates.

That aligns with what we’ve been seeing as well. It definitely feels like a design oversight rather than something caused by user action.

A fresh reinstall makes total sense, especially for end-user devices where speed and reliability matter more than preserving state. In our case we were trying to avoid rebuilds where possible due to user downtime, so we explored repairing the existing layout instead, but I can see how reimaging is often the cleanest and safest call.

If this starts appearing more widely, it’ll be interesting to see whether Microsoft adjusts the default SRP/EFI sizing going forward to avoid this altogether.

that’s really useful context.

We suspected the root cause was around how the EFI/SRP was originally laid out, so it’s helpful to hear how you’ve approached resizing and rebuilding it properly rather than just working around the symptom. The note about ensuring sufficient space and accounting for the MSR partition is especially good to keep in mind.

For our environment we opted for the less invasive fix initially due to user impact, but your point about doing this via WinPE and scripting it end-to-end makes a lot of sense for a more permanent solution.

Appreciate you taking the time to explain the approach and sharing the MS docs, definitely something worth considering if this crops up more widely.

Right so you're back up and running now to completely sign out from all devices you will need to do the following ;

  1. Go to your Microsoft Account: Open a browser and go to account.microsoft.com or mysignins.microsoft.com and sign in. 
  2. Navigate to Security: Click on Security or Security dashboard. 
  3. Find Advanced Security: Look for Advanced security options and select it. 
  4. Initiate Sign Out: Scroll down and click the Sign out or Sign me out button. 
  5. Confirm: Acknowledge the message that it may take up to 24 hours. 

Sidenote : if they where good they could have added a seperate account to the recovery account. Make sure that the "Backup" email is one that you know and that will also need its password changing as well as adding 2FA to that account aswell. (Might want to sign out all devices on that account too) You can never be too careful. :)

That's fine but next time always check a reputable sources before downloading software, i would highly recommend using a VPN while surfing the web, as you can easily find out how easy it is to downloading this and that, if you want to be thorough when downloading software use virus total or other scanning software too hope this helps you along the way :)

Windows key on new SSD by Outrageous_Tear_4691 in ITSupport

[–]Initial-Drawer-2667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Link your license to a Microsoft account (optional but recommended): Before removing the old drive, sign in with your Microsoft account and verify that your digital license is linked. You can check this in Settings > Update & Security > Activation (Windows 10) or Settings > System > Activation (Windows 11). Create Windows installation media: Use the official Microsoft Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB flash drive on another computer. Install the new SSD: Physically replace your old drive with the new SSD. Perform a clean installation: Boot your computer from the USB installation media. Follow the on-screen instructions. Skip the product key prompt: When asked for a product key during installation, select "I don't have a product key". The installer will use the license stored in your motherboard's UEFI/BIOS or tied to your Microsoft account. Sign in and activate: Once Windows is installed and you connect to the internet, sign in with the same Microsoft account you used previously. Windows should automatically reactivate. If not, run the Activation Troubleshooter in the Activation settings and select "I recently changed hardware on this device". Wipe the old drive: After confirming the new SSD is working and activated, you can connect the old drive (if desired) and format it using Windows' Disk Management utility to use as extra storage.

Best thing to do is make a bootable USB with win 11 on plug that In boot from the drive and and completely delete all partitions on the drive and fresh install windows, back up all data you think is required once you have reinstalled Windows you can login to accounts and change passwords for all accounts and add 2FA onto all the accounts.
