Acronis 2020 Rescue Boot Media
I have a year old PC that uses a UEFI BIOS. I am in process of restoring my PC due to an unexplained issue. When trying to use the rescue media specifically for use with UEFI, the restore software cannot lock my C: drive, which is an m.2 NVME. I had to use the restore media tailored for Linux. Why did that happen?
PC Stats Summary:
i9-10900k
32GB RAM
Windows 10 latest build
C: drive (m.2 NVME) with 1TB capacity, approx. 700GB free space.
E: drive, mechanical HD with 8TB capacity, approx. 3TB free space.
F: drive, as above.
Video: MSI RTX2080 Super
Thanks in advance!

Recently I've have had two situations where I needed to use my 2020 (linux) rescue CD to reload the windows partition (each on completely different computers).
In both cases, I could not boot the computer in windows. The rescue disk booted fine, but simply hung based upon what buttons I clicked. Sometimes it would hang on the main window, other times while I was browsing and one time, where I was able to browse to the correct recovery file, but when I hit the OK button.
This is a ridiculous situation for a backup program, where you can't reload the backup. I tried using an Acronis 2019 rescue disk and it would have worked without issue, but of course it can't read a .tibx file and thinks it's corrupt.
What can I do to restore faith in having backups at all?
