Tom,

Welcome back!  I haven't seen you around in ages.  This was a great Forum when you were administering it.  I hope that you are back to work here!

Have a great day.

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.

@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

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.

General Computer Support / Anyone Know where this file could be fromVFDFix.exe it was in vault folder

« 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.
