Facing this error after closing paint.

Interesting. Can you open a Command Prompt as admin (like this) and post the output of the following commands:

mountvol Z: /S
dir Z:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\*.efi
attrib Z:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\*.efi
dir Z:\EFI\HackBGRT\*.efi
attrib Z:\EFI\HackBGRT\*.efi
mountvol Z: /D

Here you go.

C:\Windows\system32>mountvol Z: /S

Thanks! However, in the latter commands, I asked for Z:\EFI\HackBGRT\*.efi and not Z:\EFI\HackBGRT*.efi, notice \*. Does that give similar errors?

[SaminYaser-work]

I guess so. here it is again.

C:\Windows\system32>dir Z:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot*.efi Volume in drive Z has no label. Volume Serial Number is 1094-0E39

Ok for some reason its automatically removing the \ when I comment. Here's a pic: https://imgur.com/a/i3E1lSJ

Take ownership on all .efi files and i'ts work for me

[SaminYaser-work]

Did that. Still shows the same error message.

Solved. This problem is caused by boot partition is devided from your system drive. You need to mount your EFI drive (maynot be your C drive) first, mountvol Z: /S and Install HackBGRT by following the instruction.

hi , I also encountered this problem. How to solve it?

[niu2023]

i found an easy way to sove this problem. just rename your C:\EFI folder to others like EFI2, then use the application like usual. after that you can rename C:\EFI folder back or not, it doesn't affect your boot

[Metabolix]

I'd appreciate a new try with the most recent release (2.0.0), and if this still happens, setup.log might be useful for debugging. Supporting multiple drives out-of-the-box probably won't happen, so in that kind of expert setup, you will need to install manually.
