The name of the tool, FixDows – a portmanteau of fix (recovery) and Windows – leaves little doubt; You only use this tool when you have certain problems with Windows is experiencing. Admittedly, the problems that FixDows can fix, you can fix yourself. But that will cost you time and effort, because you first have to find the right commands and also know how to control them with optimal parameters. FixDows, on the other hand, hardly takes more than a few mouse clicks.
Tabs
For FixDows to work properly, right-click on the program’s shortcut and choose Run as administrator. The start screen contains a help link, but unfortunately the online ‘manual’ appears to be minimal, at least at the time of writing.
The names of the tabs clearly indicate what they stand for: Windows Updates Fixes, Windows Store Reset, Integrity Checks & Fixes and Disk Cleanup are the four tabs where you can go for your troubleshooting. The other tabs are for informational purposes only.
recovery
On each of the four tabs you will only see one button at a time, with which you start the corresponding recovery procedures. This did not cause any problems on our test systems, but it is probably a good idea to create a system restore point in Windows beforehand. You never know what it’s good for.
As for the update fixer, it uses a public script from TenForums and if you study it, you notice that it mainly involves stopping, resetting and restarting some Windows services. The other tabs also use Windows built-in commands and functions, such as wsreset, sfc, and dism. By the way, you notice that in the Windows command window that pops up during run.
Conclusion
If you ever experience update or integrity problems with Windows and you don’t feel like or have the time to delve into all kinds of commands, then you can safely try FixDows. There is a real chance that he will be able to fix the problem with a few mouse clicks.
