Eazy Fix v12

You're quite welcome!

 

I read your linked document: very useful and interesting !

 

Eazy Fix and Rollback RX can be risky programs on new OSs like Windows 10 or 11. This is because continuous releases or updates of these OSs can change the system core and damage these programs. I tried to restore a snapshot and got a BSOD with a “bad system config” error loop. I tried to restore with the new option “reset EFI if your system won’t boot after the restore” ticked, but got the same BSOD. Finally, I could successfully restore to a previous snapshot.

 

@khanyash - from my previous experience with EAZFIX/Rollback RX... consider yourself very fortunate

 

The previous mode, which did not allow deletion of the installation snapshot, was more stable than the current mode, which allows deletion. I could always restore to the installation snapshot in the previous mode in case of problems. They have removed the previous mode and the ability to change the .ini file that installed the previous mode.

 

Thank you for all your answers. Actually I don't need these programs, and if I have a system issue I prefer to restore a disk image - I use AOMEI; but I had some curiosity about this kind of programs......

 

@blacknight - I also use disk imaging as well, a tried and true method of restoring System anomalies as well as disk failures (which EAXFIX cannot do... it's not a backup tool).

Depending on your System configuration, some of today's imaging tools are almost as fast as EAZFIX/Rollback RX (difference is in seconds) when it comes to returning to a "snapshot." I switched over to imaging for snapshot purposes in 2015 when the first production quality "delta restore" imaging tool became available... Macrium REFLECT. Delta Restore was a massive move forward for image restoration... restoring only the DATA that had changed on the partition/disk being restored rather than restoring the entire volume/disk. All of a sudden disk restores became much faster than previous attempts. Since then, at least one additional product has adopted a similar restoration philosophy... Drive Image Backup & Restore (previously known as Image For Windows) from TeraByte Unlimited. Both of these mentioned products use similar difference or delta restoration philosophies.

Couple difference restoration with solid state disks (any type, SSD or NvME <very fast SSD>) and you now have a very fast process available for restorations... this is what made me abandon snapshot software like EAXFIX/RollbackRX for imaging software. Snapshot software is just too far to the edge of reality when it comes to dealing with MicroSloth Windows, and as a result may be very unreliable depending on the circumstances of your System issues. It's gotten a bit better through the years but has the exact same relationship with Windows... it hides itself very well, basically making it very risky to use.

Your choice of imaging is a good one...

 

Admittedly, Easy Fix may be a smidgen faster but I prefer the solid reliability of Macrium. On my new system, which admittedly has fast processor and all SSDs, my last two full disk images, 42.5 gb, took 57 seconds and 1min, 1sec. My Differentials always take between 10-15 seconds. My last two recovery/restores took 52, and 38 seconds.

I also used Drive Image in the past. Very good software. Then I used for some years True Image Acronis, but it became too heavy and invasive. I regret only the " Try and Decide " function, good to try new programs. Now as I already said I use AOMEI: sure, fast, light, a very good program. Basically I prefer disk imaging software because I think that it's more safe to restore a disk image on the system than come back to a previous snapshot of the system.

 

What did you do to "finally" restore it?

 

Eazy Fix v12.8 Released (2024/04)
Release Notes: https://eazsolutions.com/releasenotes-ef.html
O.S. Supported: 32/64 bit of Windows 7/8/10/11 (Legacy/UEFI BIOS)
Downloads: https://eazsolutions.com/downloads.html

 

Today, I installed the latest Eazy Fix 12.8 on Windows 11.

 

What is special about that?

Many others have done it and many have the RBRX equivalent.

 

EF or RB have reliability issues on Windows 10 and 11, and most consider them dangerous on the mentioned operating systems (just check this thread). I meant I'm using it again, so let's see how it goes.

 

Ok.
Well, i am using the latest RBRX version which is the same and without issues.
