Known Issues & Workarounds in Build 20250221

No software is perfect. Here are a few quirks reported in the first week after release (fixed as of March 2025 patches, but worth noting):

• Bug: When resizing an exFAT partition on a USB 3.2 drive, the software may incorrectly report “Partition table corrupted.” Choose this version if:

  • Workaround: Run chkdsk /f on the drive, then retry. EaseUS released a hotfix (19.8.1) but only upon request.

• Bug: WinPE bootable media created on an ARM64 host fails to recognize some Thunderbolt 4 attached SSDs.

  • Workaround: Use the ISO to burn to a USB via Rufus in MBR mode for legacy compatibility.

• Limitation: The software cannot resize a BitLocker-encrypted partition that is actively locked. Must unlock before operation.

Bugs & Annoyances in This Build

• ❌ The “Disk Health” monitor still falsely flags some healthy SATA SSDs (e.g., Samsung 870 EVO) as “poor” due to a SMART attribute misinterpretation – fixed in an internal build but not in 20250221.
• ❌ Canceling a long operation sometimes leaves the disk in a “busy” state until reboot.
• ⚠️ The in-app upgrade banner appears even after disabling notifications.

Choose this version if:

• You are running Windows 11 23H2 or a 24H2 preview build.
• You regularly work with large SSDs (≥4TB) and need fast, safe 4K alignment.
• You want an all-in-one toolkit: partitioning + OS migration + basic recovery.
• You prefer a GUI over command-line tools like diskpart or gdisk.
