Windows 11 update breaks Veeam recovery, causes connection errors
Summary: Microsoft and Veeam are addressing connection errors that occur on Windows 11 24H2 systems when restoring data from Veeam Recovery Media. The issue is likely linked to a recent Windows update (KB5051987), causing failures in network connections during recovery attempts. As a temporary solution, users are advised to create recovery media from earlier Windows 11 builds to perform data retrieval successfully.

Affected: Microsoft and Veeam Systems

Keypoints :

  • Connection errors occur when restoring data on Windows 11 24H2 (build 26100.3194 or higher).
  • The issue may stem from changes in the KB5051987 February update for Windows 11.
  • Users faced network failures and various error messages during the recovery process from servers or SMB shares.
  • For recovery, users are recommended to use Veeam Recovery Media generated on older Windows 11 builds (26100.3037 or lower).
  • Veeam incorporates proprietary components, making pre-generated recovery media unavailable.
