Express

Repair

Also

monitors

and

fixes

operating

system

files

from

an

alternate

boot

environment

if

they

have

changed

or

been

corrupted

outside

of

operating

system

by

file

corruption,

or

a

virus.

After

and

Recovery

is

installed

and

after

a

Windows

operating

system

update,

Express

stores

the

latest

copy

of

each

critical

file

including

the

checksum

behind

the

Rescue

Recovery

filter

driver

in

its

own

database.

During

restore

operations

launched

from

Windows

or

the

preboot

environment

such

as

Quick

Restore,

Rejuvenation,

or

Full

Restore,

Express

Repair

files

and

checksums

are

deleted

to

avoid

mismatching

of

operating

system

files.

As

a

result,

Express

Repair

stores

all

critical

files

and

associated

checksums

after

the

next

boot

into

the

operating

system.

When

a

boots

to

Windows

PE,

checksum

compares

critical

operating

system

files.

a

difference

is

detected,

the

user

is

prompted

update

files

based

on

the

latest

version

in

the

database,

or

boot

to

Windows.

If

a

difference

is

not

found,

or

if

database

not

found,

Express

Repair

exits

and

continue

boot

into

Windows

PE.
