Can't boot to recovery image! UEFI / Secure Boot issue?

[matthewr]

I can't boot into the Veeam recovery media. I'd like to test bare metal restores on my Dell XPS 13 from 2013. I've created a recovery USB, and have tried adding it as a UEFI boot option in the BIOS.

The BIOS allows me to add a UEFI boot option (https://imgur.com/a/4RZaaQG) which requires a device (USB stick) and an EFI filename. If the boot option points to /bootmgr.efi , booting into it doesn't work - I go straight into Windows. If it points to /efi/boot/bootx62.efi, I get a blue screen saying ntoskrnl.exe is missing (https://imgur.com/a/4RZaaQG). Which is the correct EFI filename?

I want to keep using UEFI and Secure Boot if possible, as if I boot Windows with them disabled I get Operation system not found - possibly because the SSD is encrypted with Bitlocker.

Any ideas? Many thanks.

The recovery image is fresh. Veeam is 6.0.2 Free Edition. Windows 10 Pro 22H2. Sandisk Cruzer 8GB FAT32.

Case #06329808.

Hello Matthew,

Any chance it's related to the installed MS security patch? If it was installed you must patch the Recovery Media too.
