Windows 10: event id 41 error after restoring an image with macrium reflect why ?

today I restored an image created by macrium reflect

but now I checked event viewer and I find this error
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first .
why ?
no power loss was done
so why that error after I restored the image with macrium reflect ?

any one of you got the same error after restoring a windows 10 image with macrium reflect ?

the pc did NOT restart or shut down unexpectedly
so why that error in event viewer every time I restore my windows 10 from an image ?

:)

 

Can I create a recovery partition for Windows 10 after I upgraded from Win 8.1?

TY for the suggestion.

I tried Macrium Reflect free edition version 6.3 today after using the backup tool in the Windows 10 Control Panel for a year - but never testing a restore until this week..

Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free

It seems to build a larger image file before initiating the backup than Windows 10 (version 1703 Creators Update) image creation tool in the Control Panel named "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)."

(However, once the backup is complete it appears the image was compressed resulting in a smaller footprint on my Western Digital 1T portable drive.)

It also seems to take about twice as long to complete the backup.

But since I got an error message at the end of an attempt to use "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)" to test a restore on a Dell desktop -- an error I learned I could ignore -- perhaps I will take a closer look at Macrium Reflect.

 

Loading an image (Macrium Reflect) of my C drive into a brand-new pc to retain browser settings, etc.

Thanks for the reply Gordon. So, connect the external HD that has the image, to the new pc, boot it up, and then run the 'restore' function of Macrium Reflect, for that particular image, is that correct?

 

What was the state of the computer when the image was created?
Did you create if from installe Macrium or by booting the Macrium Rescue disc or flash drive?

 

I created the image while in windows from the installed macrium
I only use the macrium rescue flash drive only when I want to restore an image

I see that error every time I restore an image and it appears only once after I restore the image and boot to desktop
then if I check event viewer I see that error .
does it normal ?

 

I don't think I've ever restored my Macrium backup image for Windows 10, so don't know if what you see is normal or not, but if there are no associated problems I'd ignore it.

If this were my system, I would do a normal shutdown, boot the Macrium rescue drive (CD/DVD or flash) and create the backup from there, then restore it and see if you get the message or not. That's the only thing I can think of to try. Not sure it's worth the effort other than to satisfy your curiosity.
