Recovery.
Hopefully, you'll never have to make use of it—but if you should run into problems with a PC that isn't starting, here's what you need to know about Quick Machine Recovery.
How Quick Machine Recovery works
Quick Machine Repair adds to the existing troubleshooting tools in Windows. Credit: LifehackerOne of those troubleshooting tools is Startup Repair, and this is the specific feature that QMR is improving on. What Startup Repair does is look at key settings files that Windows uses to boot up, including the registry, and fixes any errors it finds—but it relies on troubleshooting information already built into Windows.
As an added bonus, this can all be done remotely—but you're not likely to be particularly interested in that unless you're in charge of a host of company computers. "This feature can automatically search for remediations in the cloud and recover from widespread boot failures, significantly reducing the burden on IT administrators when multiple devices are affected," says Microsoft.
The introduction of QMR is part of the new Windows Resiliency Initiative, and it's intended to prevent incidents like the CrowdStrike outage from ever happening again on such a widespread scale. The next time something like CrowdStrike happens, rather than PCs around the world displaying error screens, they should be able to repair themselves.
How to use Quick Machine Recovery
You can configure Quick Machine Recovery from Windows. Credit: LifehackerRecovery > Quick Machine Recovery. There's a simple toggle switch here for turning QMR on or off, and another toggle switch for Continue searching if a solution isn't found—which means QMR will keep checking for fixes if it doesn't find one after the first go round.
My PC is working fine at the moment, thankfully, so I haven't been able to give QMR a test run. However, if you've got it switched on, it'll spring into action automatically if your computer isn't starting as it should be: You'll see a message on screen saying it's checking online for fixes to the problem.
When QMR is disabled in Windows, it's still available in WinRE—which will appear if your PC can't boot and QMR is switched off. In addition, WinRE can still be launched as before from inside Windows: Head to System > Recovery from Settings, then click Restart now next to Advanced startup.
