system disk, there is a folder named SysWOW64 in the Windows folder. A while ago, I accidentally deleted some of the files in it. The real situation is that if I hadn’t canceled it quickly, this folder might have been deleted! After accidentally deleting the file, the system did not see any abnormalities for the time being, but I knew that this move would definitely plant the seeds for future instability, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible. But, how to recover accidentally deleted system files?
Don’t tell me to “reinstall the system”. Although this is a straightforward, once-and-for-all method, reinstalling is fun for a while, but it is too difficult to restore the computer state before reinstallation, unless you have ghosted or I have used other software to back up C drive or hard disk. Generally, the software maintenance after reinstalling the system is enough trouble. So what I'm considering is to find a way to use normal system files to fill in the missing files.
In this article, I will share with you the whole process of [Practical Combat]. After understanding the whole process of my trying to recover files until I succeeded, I believe you can also draw inferences and use similar methods to achieve more problems after system files are missing from the system disk. File recovery.
1, download a system image of the same version for backup.
First, let me tell you the location of the file I accidentally deleted, which is under Windows/SysWOW64 on the C drive. My system version: Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit, version number is 21H1. It stands to reason that I should download an official image of the same version, but at that time I already had a Windows 10 Professional Edition 21H2.iso official image saved in my computer, so I planned to use it directly for testing.
2, install 7-zip software.
-zip is a commonly used decompression software. It has no ads and is much better than WinRAR which always pops up windows. The most important thing is that we can use 7-zip to decompress the windows.iso image and extract the system we need to restore. document.
3, unzip + extract the install.esd file in the "source SysWOW64 folder".
Use 7-zip to open the iso image, select sources, and find a file named install in the list. However, the suffix of this file is .esd. You cannot continue to decompress the files inside using 7-zip.
We need to convert it to install.wim before it can be used by me. At this time, we need to use the DISM command.
4, use DISM command for file conversion.
As shown in the figure below, directly use the DISM command to complete the conversion of install.esd to install.wim files. You can also consider using third-party software to complete this step. After the conversion of
is successful, as shown in the figure, the next step is to use this install.wim to extract the system files to cover the source to the target.
5, unzip + extract the SysWOW64 file in install.wim.
This step is similar to the third step, except that the format of install.esd is wrong before. After converting it to install.wim format, it can be decompressed normally. You can see SysWOW64 in the subdirectory. After selecting it, extract and "copy" it to a under the specified target path. The next step is the overwriting operation of "source → target" SysWOW64.
6 solves the problem of system file modification permissions.
Since the target SysWOW64 folder to be repaired is a folder protected by the system by default, direct overwriting and pasting may be rejected. At this time, the problem of the administrator modifying the folder permissions must be solved first. First, enter the system's super administrator account Administrator, cancel the disabling of the super administrator account, then create a reg file, and complete the registry addition operation of "administrator gets all permissions" with one click. For the specific reg registry addition, you can search and solve it yourself, find the corresponding code online and paste it into a txt file, then save it as a .reg file, and finally run this reg to add an administrator to obtain all permissions.
7, overwrite and paste and scan to repair
. First, copy the "source" of the previously decompressed SysWOW64 folder as a whole, and paste it into the target SysWOW64.
then run the Win+R:sfc/scannow command as an administrator to scan the system file integrity. When 100% progress is completed, the final repair work is completed.
Note that because the windows.iso image I used in this actual combat is not the same version (I am the enterprise version, the image is the professional version), there are extra steps 3 and 4, converting the .esd file to a .wim file. , it is recommended that you try to use the image with the same version for file repair. I am Bidian Coolplay. If you have any unresolved problems during the repair process, you can always give feedback in the comment area. #filerecovery#
