CustomRefresh.win

I have a CustomRefresh.win that is 10.5 GB which of course was created when I upgraded to Win 8 (based on the "update").  If I read it correctly, "Refresh your PC" to win 8 uses this file (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2748351?wa=wsignin1.0).

I have two questions.

1. because it appears that the file has not been updated for 6 months, do I really need?

2. If I make a new Refresh personalized to reflect my current setup, it just overwrite the old?

Since it is something new to me, I don't want to mess with it without a fair idea of what he will do.

I tried the other backup features Win 8, but they want more space I have available. This sounds like it would give me anything I want in less space. However, the summary is a bit vague.

Hello

You must keep a continuously updated CustomRefresh.wim file.

The reason is that if you use the file that was originally created when installing Windows 8, you will lose all your programs and applications that were installed after Windows 8.

If you create a new file, all programs and applications that have been installed up to the date on which the file is created will be part of the update when you use this option.

It is a recovery option to have excellent disaster.

See the following topics.

To create a custom Refresh Image, perform the following steps.

Important: Quit all running programs. If you are using a portable computer, plug the power adapter while you create the image.

1. press theWindows key + X to display the System menu and select thecommand (Admin) prompt.

2 in thecommand window, type the following command.

recimg.exe /createimage C:\RecoveryImage

Press enter.

(Note the 2 spaces in the command)

The process of creating displays 4 steps.

Initialization - 100%

Creating snapshot - 100%

A picture writing - 100%

Saving Image - 100%


Note:
drafting stage will not start immediately and will take about 30-45 minutes to complete, the other 3 stages are very fast.

Once the command has completed, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\RecoveryImage folder. You should see a file named CustomRefresh.wim.

It is recommended to create an image of custom occasionally refresh to update changes made to the computer.

    Hello

    I am experiencing a problem installing Win 7 on my iMac 27 "(ultimo 2009)." I got this version installed two years without a problem, but now it concerns me.

    When you create the partition, bootcamp and starting from the Win 7 DVD I am able to install it without problem. When the PC reboots after you download windows support on my USB, install windows and is about to start Windows for the first time, it freezes and the screen is all black.

  • Where is the sessionstore.js file in ver41 (Win 10)?

    Hello

    I use an extension (FEBE) to back up my browser, as part of this FEBE takes a copy of sessionstore.js. Since I upgraded to win 10 and 41 FEBE Firefox generates an error when you run a backup. (sessionsstore.js not found)

    If I look in the C:\Users\michaeltrucker\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\y3vhq0bc.default-1446331514952 the sessionsstore.js is not there. If I close Firefox, and then the file is created. As soon as I open this file disappears from FF? WFT!

    If I want to take a copy of the file that contains the info from my session where it is stored while FF is open?

    Thank you

    Michael

    Learn about the sessionstore-backups folder. While Firefox is running, you can expect to see:

    • Recovery.js: the windows and tabs in your Firefox session currently live
    • Recovery.bak: a backup copy of recovery.js
    • Previous.js: the windows and tabs in your last session in Firefox
    • Upgrade.js -build_id: windows and tabs in Firefox that was alive at the time of your last update session

    When you shut down Firefox normally (that is, it does not crash), recovery.js is removed from this folder and used to create the main level of the profile sessionstore.js file. When you start Firefox, the process is reversed. (I don't know why they decided to do it this way.)

  • Latest version of Firefox does not work on Win 7 64 bit

    Downloaded the latest version of Firefox and installed on my newly built computer Win 7 64 bit. When I click on the shortcut of Firefox, it absolutely nothing happens. No processes appear in the Task Manager, nothing. Googled the question and I tried many patches recommended without result. At a loss on how to fix, Firefox is unusable at this point.

    In the case where the program files were damaged during installation, you can try:

    Clean reinstall it

    (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 41.0.1 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (B) delete the folder of the current program to:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    (C) run the installer downloaded to (A). I'm NOT suggesting it as an administrator.

    Any improvement?

  • Thunderbird does not work after installing Win 10 and the mobile profile of Win 7

    I've installed Tbird 38.3.0 on a new Dell computer with Windows 10 on this (8 GB of RAM, 1 TB harddrive). I then followed these steps to put my old profile from the old computer to Windows 7:
    1. copied my profile on the Windows 7 computer on an external drive.
    2 installed Tbird on the new computer Windows 10 38.3.0, but has nothing to do with it.
    3. following the instructions on the site of Thunderbird on the displacement of a profile:

      a) Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile on the Win 10 computer.
      b) Copy the profile from the external drive to the new profile folder
      c) Use Profile Manger to tell Tbird to open the new profile
    

    4. start Tbird.

    I see my files with email in them, but there are problems:
    1. None of the Tbird dialog boxes open when I choose a command in the menu bar (including the new Message).
    2. I can't get Tbird to display the contents of a folder in the Home tab. There is only the accounts and the advanced features of the Inbox, display in the right pane, next to the folder tree. The only way to see the contents of a folder is right-click and choose open in a new tab.
    3. when I click or double-click on a folder, the contents of the file does not replace the previous folder. TBird on the Windows 7 computer, clicking a folder displays the contents of the new folder.
    4. sometimes when I Alt + Tab of Tbird, then Alt + Tab, moving the cursor of the mouse on the messages in the Inbox tab causes the message object, Date,... to disappear, leaving blank lines.

    I tried to uninstall Tbird and reinstall it, but this does not solve the problem.
    I tried to reboot Windows 10 but that does not solve the problem.
    I don't seem to be able to download email and preview in the messages pane, but I can't open it in a separate window.

    A lot of people seems to be able to run Tbird on Win10, so it should work. Any ideas on why it does not work and what I can do about it?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    go to add-ons.
    remove the addon of lightning.
    restart - everything should be good.
    If you still need the addon of lightning, install it again - it should give you a new version.

    Please tell us that all is well
