Articles get their own address (shareable, back/forward work); the list is searchable by title and text, shows the article count, and is grouped into Applications and Troubleshooting & Guides via a hidden category line set from the editor. PDF export lays out at page width with page breaks, a title block and page numbers; Print uses the browser's vector print. Inline code is a pill that glows blue on hover, blockquotes no longer squeeze, and GitHub-style [!NOTE] alerts render. [[Badge]] syntax inside code spans is left alone.

Manually Start a USMT Backup
Use this when a device in USMT Dash sits at Not Started while its replacement is ready.
- Find the device (the Tracked Devices or USMT Status page shows its last ping state).
- Restart it. The USMT backup won't start while another user is signed in. Then sign in.
- Open Software Center.
- Blank page or "failed to load"? Run Copy:C:\Windows\CCM\ccmrepair.exe, wait for it to finish, then reopen Software Center.
- Still broken? Tag the device in USMT Dash (e.g.
Broken WMI) and move on. See WMI Namespace Fix.
- Run USMT Backup from the Operating Systems tab.
- Fails immediately? Run
gpupdate /force, then Software Center > Options > Sync Policy. Wait a few minutes and retry.
- Fails immediately? Run
- When the button turns grey and shows Installing... the backup is running. You can sign out and move to the next device.
In USMT Dash the row changes to Backup In Progress within one worker cycle, and the scanstate line shows progress.
