Tweaking.com Support & Help / Re: Windows Repair somtimes just crashes and all files are gone

« Last post by garioch7 on July 25, 2025, 12:02:17 pm »

@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

Tweaking.com Support & Help / 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?

It turns out that uninstalling and re-installing fixes the problem.

I did, as I said every time I try install a version higher than 4.9.0 including 4.14.1 I get the same error when I start the program. I can't find any information on the error code. Version 4.9.0 is the only version that will work without the error.

« Last post by tsmith on September 17, 2023, 11:08:24 pm »

Anyone Know where this file could be from VFDFix.exe it was inside a folder on my machine I had not seen before until I tried to use a folder from inside drobox called vault. I am not sure if dropbox created it but I do not think so because it was dated 2/25/2016. Any help would be appreciated. I think I should delete it or not. I dont like executable files when I dont know where its from. Thanks in advance. Windows 10 operating system.

You are running an old version of Windows Repair.  The current version is 4.14.1 and is available at BleepingComputer.com.  Please update your software and see if the error persists.

Good luck, and have a great day.
