The Create USB Boot Drive function in NetBak PC Agent 1.3.0 may hang due to a compatibility issue with the Windows security update KB5072033.

To resolve this issue, modify the dotnet-install.ps1 script as follows:

Copy C:\Program Files\QNAP\NetBakPCAgent\dotnet-install.ps1 to your desktop.
Open dotnet-install.ps1 with a text editor.
Locate line 195, which should read:
$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $zipUri -Method Head
Modify the line by appending -UseBasicParsing at the end. The line should now read:
$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $zipUri -Method Head -UseBasicParsing
Save the modified file.
Copy the modified dotnet-install.ps1 back to C:\Program Files\QNAP\NetBakPCAgent, overwriting the original file.

Note: A new version of NetBak PC Agent will be released soon to address this issue.
