Ceph Reef for Windows x64 Install Leads to Automatic Repair Mode

[nsanc107]

Hey everyone,

I’m running into a serious issue while trying to install Ceph Reef (Windows x64) on my Windows laptop. The installation seems to go smoothly until it prompts me to restart the PC. However, after the restart, my computer goes into automatic repair mode, and I can't seem to get it back to normal without going through repair options.

I’ve tried reinstalling multiple times, but the same thing keeps happening. It’s really frustrating, and I can’t figure out what’s causing the problem.

Has anyone else run into this issue or know how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Have you read https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/install/windows-install/ ?

I have no experience with Ceph on Windows but it looks like it is limited to the server editions. At least it needs dokany if you want to use CephFS.

Likely you did not disable secure boot and because the WBND driver is unsigned, Windows 11 freaks out. Go to your BIOS and disable Secure Boot and try it again. Temporarily you can press F8 and select the option to bypass driver signatures so you can get back to Windows
