If you must update your drivers....then it is wise to do it from the manufacturers site. However, that said, I have always advised users that it is unnecessary to constantly update your drivers. I only update a driver if there is a specific issue associated with a driver or the manufacturer strongly recommends an update. Just because you can do something...does not mean that you should.... "If it is not broken...do not fix it" I recommend you also look at the following,.....https://forums.iobit.com/topic/20778-driver-booster-kinda-killed-my-laptop/#comment-121368 https://forums.iobit.com/topic/19362-driver-booster-obliterated-my-pc/#comment-119400 https://forums.iobit.com/topic/20479-driver-booster-killed-my-computer/

Of course they gave the answer. I even provided the PFTool.exe as an attachment. I also just tested the links (including the link in your post) and they all worked perfectly. So, something on your end is preventing the download.

Please read the previous posts in this Topic -(as you should have before posting)- as this issue has already been addressed.

Sorry, but that was not the question. The question was.....How do you uninstall the program if you dont have the password.....which is a completely different issue...because of the risks involved with losing the data in the Protected Folder. Unless the OP replies with a more detailed explanation of his issue(s) and what he wishes to achieve then the matter will not be addressed.

Sorry, but your reply does not help anybody, because the original poster(OP) has an issue with Protected Folder (a separate Iobit Program) and your reply is related to Iobit Uninstaller, which has no relevance to the issue. So, we will wait for the OP's reply/explanation.

I cannot imagine that anyone would actually understand your issue, from this very uninformative post. If you require assistance...then explain the issue clearly.

This issue has been dealt with many...many...times in the forum. There is a Topic specifically dedicated to resolving this. Just look through the Home page.

What would be helpful, is if you followed the rules of the Forum. You have posted in Usage of Iobit Products section...so look there...the Topic with the solution is plain to see.

This has been dealt with many...many...times in the forum. Just search.

Read the User Manual.

Again....Follow Cicely's advice....

Thank you for the concise reply. Everything is clear now. First...your last point...error 0×800106ba.....this is usually caused if you have another active anti-virus program running. Windows Defender is designed to automatically disable it's realtime protection if it detects the other program. This is to avoid possible conflicts. See here....https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-e&q=0×800106ba https://ugetfix.com/ask/how-to-fix-windows-defender-error-code-0x800106ba-on-windows-10/ Now for your main issue(s).... Uninstaller, just did as it was asked to do, by you. I hope that you have now realised that it is important to understand how a tool like Uninstaller works before you use it and that you are familiar with the settings and functions. Sadly, System Restore cannot recover deleted personal files, as it does not save them when creating a restore point. See here...https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-e&q=does+windows+system+restore+recover+deleted+files https://www.anyrecover.com/deleted-files-recovery-data/will-system-restore-recover-deleted-files/ So, unfortunately, your only hope is (was) to use the aforementioned recovery tools to find the deleted files, but not by trying to recover deleted Restore points, but to try to find the actual deleted files in.... the files in the folder (Discord).... Unfortunately, this may not now be possible, as so much time has passed since they were deleted, and you have been using your machine a lot, and everytime you write new data to your machine there is a danger it will overwrite the deleted files, and then they are gone forever....but it is worth a shot. As for creating new restore points and the the error (0×8004231F) .......I suggest you go through the links I gave you previously to try to resolve this issue. Also. did you try using Iobit Advanced Systemcare as I previously recommended.

Did you read the User manual. Check the section under Driver Backup and you will see the Change Folder option in the graphic.

I am trying very hard to assist you, but in order to do so I need to be able to understand your exact issue(s), but you are very confusing in your posts in this regard. What do you mean by...." that Uninstaller erasing files without user consent"...... Uninstaller, just does not have the ability to do this. Do you have some other program....such as Iobit Advanced Systemcare...which may be set to automatically erase certain files/folders when you shut down. What do you mean by...."has been unable to recover files (or registry entries) using System Restore Point"......You say you have no restore points, and now you say this. Again another confusing statement..."But to resume, I tried (and maybe still trying) to recover the missing System Restore Points. Because all of them, one by one, are disappearing from the System,"..... If you cannot create Restore points, as you have said previously.....then how can they be still disappearing fro the system?? You say....If I try – turning off System Protection and then turning it back on – it will delete all the Restore Points I am trying to recover. Yes it will....but you said you have no restore points and could not create any. I suggest. that you download Iobit Advanced Systemcare (from Majorgeeks site) and use it to create a restore point. Also, it may be able to see any existing restore points whic you have (which I find confusing to even say, because you say that you do and don't have restore points. As for Microsoft forum, it should be a last resort as they are not very helpful. You would do just as well looking here...https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-e&q=windows+system+restore+not+working https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-e&q=error+0×8004231F

There is no problem with ASC. This issue has been dealt with many times already in the Forum.

OK....just to clarify that we are on the same page ....your issue is no longer a Iobit Uninstaller issue, but solely an issue with system restore. Is this correct.?? and if so,,please explain why you are trying to undelete System Restore points. As for not being able to create a new Restore Point...Did you try turning off system protection and then turn it back on. I have seen this fix such issues. Did you check If your computer's system restore point services are running? Press Win + R, type services.msc, and press Enter. Locate Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider Service and double-click on it. In the next window, select Automatic from the Startup type drop-down menu. From here, click Start under the Service status options. Press Apply and then press OK to save these changes.

The Uninstall History is simply a list of the files which were uninstalled...so if you did not make a restore point before uninstalling them then they cannot be recovered. That said, if there are important/critical files you are trying to recover,...using the History list, you could try the Undelete tool in Iobit Advanced Systemcare, or some other program designed to recover deleted files, such as MiniTool Data Recovery...etc. With regard to why you have no restore points or cannot create any....did you turn on System Restore in windows. Did you check that the System Restore service is on.

Well , if you prefer to guess...rather than read the Manual, which shows how to use the Restore points...... that is entirely your choice.

Did you read the Manual??

Cicely....why do you keep asking this question??? You have been told numerous times that the Users cannot boot their pc's in any way. Their pc's are completely unusable, and they are begging Iobit for help for a long time now, and are not receiving any.

Why did you post your issue in the Usage of Iobit Products section. You must post in the correct/relevant area. You should do this now, as your post will be removed from here shortly.

The point would be to save yourself the grief of a bricked pc. I am certainly not disagreeing with you that you should be able to use paid for software, without worry....but I am afraid that has become a rare luxury these days, where company's are more interested in sales than service/quality. I hope you see that for software such as DB which acts on the very heart of your system...that it is wise to regularly check either on the forum or google to see if there are issues of concern.

If you were stung by DB before, why did you not search the Forum then to see if others had an issue. Or even searched it before you decided to try a second time. It would have saved you a lot of grief.
