An update to v3.40 of Image for Windows was released May 28, 2020 as you probably know by now, bbearren.
I’ve downloaded and installed it on Windows 10 Pro version 2004 today. The link you gave above is still valid. The new Microsoft ADK and PE software is here.

I too have been using TeraBytes’s Image for Windows, along with Macrium Reflect, for some time now.  Only failures within internal HDDs or external HDDs caused backup or restore failure.  The software themselves have been no problem.

December 24, 2021 TeraByte Unlimited released an update, v3.49, for Image for Windows.

It’s a free download for licensed users of 3.xx versions.  A single license for home use allows installation on up to 5 PC’s, as always.  I’ve been using TeraByte’s imaging software through its various evolutions for two decades, now, with not a single failure nor complaint.

This is a significant update.  There is now a “Utilities” button on the launch screen that is worthy of taking a good look.  It includes updating TBWinRE (the Windows Recovery Environment that includes Image for Windows) which runs directly from the Image for Windows interface, among other goodies.

@bbearren,

I updated yesterday (free since I bought early this year).

I encountered a problem on the first two machines I updated.
When entering the Recovery Environment and tried to launch IFW it requested my user name and key. I rebuilt the Recovery Environment from the IFW utilities menu with the same results. However, I did not experience this problem when booting from a newly created USB key.

The Terabyte forum shows others are having this same problem.

I’ve restored both computers C: drive and recovery partition back to 3.64, using the 4.0 USB key, and everything works as it should. I’ll wait for the next minor version before attempting the update again.

May the Forces of good computing be with you!

I had not yet updated my Recovery Environment, so I did just now, using the Utilities menu.  I got the same result as you.  Next I went through “Program Files\TeraByte Drive Image\tbwinre\TBWinRE.cmd” using Run as administrator.  It presented the scripts in a Command window and I did the rebuild again from there.

Success.  It did not ask for user name or key.  They’ve set it up a little differently, as well.  Instead of the usual System Recovery options presented, with the TB Launcher on the sidebar, it’s just the TB Launcher on the sidebar, and it automatically launches Image For Windows.  Within that sidebar Launcher menu are the usual System Recovery options.

@RetiredGeek, v4.03 has corrected that issue.  I updated my Recovery Environment yesterday using the Utilities menu, and it worked as expected.  I booted into the RE and no credentials were required.

It does, as you noted, no longer launch Image For Windows, putting it into that utilities launch menu on the left of the screen.  When launched, it looks and works as it should.

@bbearren,

Thanks worked like a champ!

You’d wonder why they wouldn’t fix this in the install program…go figure.

BTW: for those of you reading this you choose Option #1 when the script launches. Also make sure you select tbwinre.CMD NOT the .exe file.

Well,

Windows 10 is a whole nother story!

I’ve tried the following:

1. Run the TBwinRe.cmd program w/option 1, still asks for key
2. Run TBwinRe.cmd w/option 3 (reset to original), Reboot, rerun with option 1. Still asks for key.

Also, it installs a tile on the recovery screen that you have to click to get the TBI launcher screen, don’t remember that before. I think I’ll restore back to 3.64 for the time being as I don’t really need any new features on that machine.
