Sigh… This does not prevent those situation, but can help sometimes. So hardware problems has been 99% of any windows system file corruption. Has been workin ower a year without any problems… I did update the CPU many years later and did add the second pair of memory and vola. Take extra memory chips of… everything works fine. When I did add two more sticks… few days later corrupted system. And the last one was CPU that worked like a charm with 2 memory sticks. Ones it was m2 ssd that was working fine for intall and maybe couple of ours and after that did corrupt the system. Everything worked fine, but after few hours… corrupted system. Most times when I have had problems with any windows have been sneaky hardware related.įirst time it was CPU that was not properly installed.

So if you're on the primary machine you rely on for work, consider waiting for this to percolate to the beta build or eventually out to a release version. But remember, the Canary builds are designed to be "hot off the presses" with limited documentation and may be unstable. If it works, this will save frustrated Windows users from getting a bootable USB drive and replacing all their data with copies.

The option is labeled "Fix problems using Windows Update" and features a reinstall now button. Those on the Canary builds who want to test the new repair settings can go to Settings > System > Recovery. Windows Insider boss Amanda Langowski and senior program manager Brandon LeBlanc wrote in a blog post that "repair content is displayed on the Windows Update Settings page with the title appended with '(repair version).' This capability can be useful in many instances but is intended to be used for keeping the device secure and up to date." In theory, this should lead to a version of Windows with everything the way you had it, minus any software or OS glitches that showed up along the way.

Microsoft announced this feature yesterday in an update to the original launch of the build on July 12. But in a new Canary version (Build 25905) of the Windows Insider Program, Microsoft is testing a solution - using Windows Update to repair problems, installing a "repair version" of Windows 11 without removing any of your files, settings or programs.
