True Image 2021 Create Bootable Media Doesn't Work

Ian, welcome to these public User Forums.

I would recommend using a small USB stick for the rescue media rather than using a CD / DVD disc.  Some systems have issues with booting from optical media or may not recognise the keyboard correctly at that point.

I typically use a 16GB memory stick but you can use as small as 2GB and up to 32GB sizes.

Yes, if you choose the 'Simple' version and have the USB memory stick connected, it will create a WinPE media using files from your Windows Recovery Environment.   You just need to tell the builder what the USB drive letter is to write to.

It never made a win pe cd on Windows 11

Ian, you would need to use a DVD to create rescue media from ATI 2021 as the size exceeds the size of a standard CD.  You can test by creating an ISO image instead of burning direct to disc.

Burns disk but doesn't boot

Please try using a USB stick instead of an optical disc.
