Hello everyone,

An updated version of Windows Repair Toolbox has been released, version 3.0.3.3.

### Fixed
- Fixed a bug in the GUI for the Sysinternals Suite: the command-line tools would not run if the path contained an empty space.

Thanks to @Barcelona for reporting, and I'm sorry for the successive update.

Hey @AlexCa thanks for the new update, however, I get this when it tries to auto update.

 

[AlexCa]

Hey @Barcelona , I haven't been able to reproduce, but try this:

- Click the "Clear Downloads" button (in the "Settings" tab). When asked, you don't need to delete Firefox Portable if you don't want to.

- Backup your "\Windows_Repair_Toolbox\Downloads\Custom Tools" folder;

- Delete everything inside these folders:
. "\Windows_Repair_Toolbox\Downloads\Custom Tools\Added Custom Tools"
. "\Windows_Repair_Toolbox\Downloads\Custom Tools\Downloaded Custom Tools"

- Try to auto-update now;

- If everything goes fine, restore the "\Windows_Repair_Toolbox\Downloads\Custom Tools" folder from your backup.

Hello everyone,

An updated version of Windows Repair Toolbox has been released, version 3.0.3.4.

### Changed
- Replaced "UltraAdwCleaner" with "Fix Print Spooler", in the "Repairs" section.

- The first tool of the GUI for the Sysinternals Suite is now selected as soon as the GUI is opened.

### Fixed
- Fixed a bug in the GUI for the Sysinternals Suite: after running a command-line tool the command prompt would go to a different path than the folder where the tools are located (it should stay in the same folder to allow the user to continue to run commands).

Thank you!

Windows Defender is currently flagging a component of Windows Repair Toolbox (updater.exe) as a trojan (Trojan: PDF/Sonbokli.A!cl). This is a false positive, and I have already reported it. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

 

[AlexCa]

It's fixed now.

I had it happen with Defender but Emsisoft never made a peep about it. Usually Its Emsisoft that gets heavy handed and flags everything it see's as a threat...(Sarcasm..)

Appreciate you continuing to keep this product up to date. Been using it for years.

Hello everyone,

An updated version of Windows Repair Toolbox has been released, version 3.0.4.0.

### Changed
- In the "Repairs" section, "Complete Internet Repair" has been replaced with a shortcut to Windows built-in "Network reset" functionality (available on Windows 10 and higher).
- In the "Backup & Recovery" section, "CloneApp" (which has been discontinued) has been replaced with "DiskCopy".
- Improvements to the updater.exe: high DPI support, detection and use of the system proxy settings to connect to the network.

### Fixed
- Addressed most of the causes that could trigger the "Root element is missing" bug. Please note that to apply this fix, it's necessary to download a new copy of the software from the website instead of upgrading through the internal updater.

If you have any suggestions to improve, or bugs to report, please let me know.

Thank you!

Edit: I've just noticed I forgot to update the version number in the "About" tab. I'm sorry for the oversight.
