Recovery leads to windows 10 device manager not working

Thread needs solution

I have a bit of a odd one which may have been covered before. I make backups of my 250gb m2 ssd but when I restore them windows boots but device manager does not work and I cannot get into it. 

The backup is to a NAS and restored from the same nas and the recovery done using either the recovery manager or recovery media (does not matter which).

Luckily I have a clone of the disk on another m2 ssd but this is becoming rather puzzling why only this particular machine seems to be very unreliable with this.

Any advice or things to try?

Darren, what type of rescue media are you using here?

The ASRM (recovery manager) is a Linux distro at heart and is not the best for working with NVMe M.2 drives.  This is essentially the same as the Linux version of rescue media too.

Personally I always use the Windows PE version of the rescue media that you can create using the 'Simple' method which takes the required device drivers from the Windows Recovery Environment.

It is not an NVME m.2 it is an ssd m.2. all my other machines that actually have a mix of NVME m.2 and normal sata ssd all work fine when I do recoveries it is just this one for some reason. I have user the recovery manager via f11 and also created a usb from acronis as a simple too.. both have the same effect. the backup restores 100% fine it seems to just mess windows up.

Both perform the restore fine however  for some reason windows just seems to have been corrupted and device manager and a whole raft of other things just do not work.

I may try PE builder to see if that works for a restore..
