Windows Repair somtimes just crashes and all files are gone

When I run Windows Repair sometimes it stops and all the files are gone
 (have to copy them over again from another PC).

Why are the files deleted?  And why does it crash?

@LarsErikOsterud,

Whether the Windows Repair program is being kept current is a dubious concept.  There are reports in other Forums of Windows Repair malfunctioning with Windows 11.  Shane CROFT, the developer of Windows Repair, and other Tweaking utilities left the company a year and a half ago, and sold out his interest in the company.

I am not aware of any Windows Repair updates having been issued since Shane's departure.  I own licenses for two Pro versions, but I uninstalled it from both of my Windows 11 computers.  I don't trust it.  Microsoft is changing Windows 11 constantly, so to be effective, Windows Repair would have be kept current.  When Shane was with Tweaking, Windows Repair was getting one or two updates per month.

I would not even trust it for Windows 10, since it too has changed in the last 18 months.  Use it at your own risk.  You can try contacting the Support here, but my information is that they are not responding.

This is just my opinion.  Stay safe in cyberspace.  Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil

You can also repair Windows by running a sfc /scannow cmd from a Commamnd prompt run as an administrator.

I also no longer use Windows Repair as it also caused problems with my Windows 11.

Have a great day.

Hi Phil.

Shane banned me for a short while and then reinstated me.

I sometimes monitor the forum without coming on but felt I needed to interccede this time around.
