How to use WinfrGUI free Windows File Recovery software
To use this Windows File Recovery GUI software on your Windows 11/10 computer, you can get it from winfr.org. Install the software and launch it to open its interface. The software has a nice-looking interface where all the available options are self-explanatory making it convenient to use for all users. Here is a list of available options or features that you can use:
Once you are familiar with the available options, you can start the scanning process. Just select a partition or drive, choose the scanning mode, and then open the Advanced settings box to make the search more specific. Press the OK button to close the Advanced Settings and come back to the main interface. Press the Start Recovery button and wait till the scanning process is completed. Depending upon the type of scanning mode and other options set by you, the scanning will complete accordingly. Once the process is finished, it will show you the number of files found by the tool. After that, you can press the View Recovered Files button to access the recovery folder containing the recovered data.
Based on a few tests with some changes in the options, I can say the tool is useful and shows some valuable output. But it also has its limitations such as it won’t be able to get results if the data is completely overwritten on the partition or disk with advanced or complex overwritten passes. But, for other cases, you may get some expected results. Hope this is helpful.
