Back up your files first using a recovery USB or another PC. If the drive isn’t accessible, use a trusted Data Recovery Software to recover data before attempting advanced repairs.
Back up your files first using a Windows recovery USB or by connecting the drive to another PC. Avoid repeated restarts or risky repairs before securing your data. If the drive isn’t accessible, you can use a trusted tool to recover important files before attempting advanced fixes.
I’m stuck on the “Please wait for the GPSVC” screen and can’t log in—should I back up my files first and use a tool like Stellar Data Recovery before trying advanced fixes?
Has anyone else noticed that during incident response the real problem often starts after containment?
Systems get wiped or reimaged quickly to remove the infection, and only later teams realize important local user data or shared folders were never properly backed up. At that point Windows won’t mount the drive and access is gone while the business is already down.
In a similar case we had to pull documents directly from the disk before rebuilding the machine — a recovery scan (we tried Stellar Data Recovery) was basically the only way to extract user files before formatting.
Are others seeing this gap between cleanup and actual data recovery as well?
If my PC is stuck on the BIOS screen and won’t boot, should I recover my data first before trying repairs?
Modern Setup Host’s high CPU usage doesn’t directly cause data loss, but repeated freezes or forced shutdowns during updates could potentially lead to file issues. If data is lost, reliable recovery software can often help restore it, especially if the files haven’t been overwritten.
Can high CPU usage from Modern Setup Host cause data loss, and can recovery software restore lost files?
Why is the “Extend Volume” option greyed out in Disk Management even when there is unallocated space available, and could attempting to fix it cause partition errors or data loss?
The phone likely died while Android was writing system/cache files and it corrupted the OS, so now it can’t finish booting and just loops.
Try charging it a good while first, then go to recovery and do a factory reset. If it still bootloops, you’ll need to re-flash the stock firmware (Odin/Fastboot depending on the phone).
Happens a lot when phones shut off at 1–2% battery.
Corrupted or missing KERNEL32.dll files can cause apps to crash, but they don’t usually delete your personal files directly. Data loss typically happens due to system crashes, disk errors, or file system corruption caused by instability.
First, check your drive health with CHKDSK and run SFC to repair system files. If files are truly lost or inaccessible, you can use a reliable tool like Stellar Data Recovery—but only after stabilizing your system.
Can corrupted or missing KERNEL32.dll files cause data loss, and if system crashes make files inaccessible, is it safe to first check disk health and then use reliable recovery software like Stellar Data Recovery to restore lost files?
That’s wild. Phone was totally fine before this.
Low battery shutdowns can corrupt stuff, especially if it died while writing data. Happens more than people think.
Totally get that. Most people just focus on getting the system back up and running, and by then, the data is already gone. Honestly, unless you have a solid backup, tools like Stellar are your last shot before you’re stuck paying thousands at a recovery lab. It’s a huge gap that most teams don’t even think about until it’s too late.
