    So I recently updated my system and for some reason Windows Update installed an optional NVIDIA driver that I very specifically DID NOT tell it to install because it's corrupt and every time I install it it wrecks my system it tries to install that same corrupt driver every single time I run Windows Update, and only occasionally listens when I tell it not to. Normally this is not a problem, because I can just run System Restore from the Startup Repair menu and had in fact successfully done so not five minutes earlier for the exact same reason.Only this time, System Restore wouldn't go throu

    Corrupted file RAR

    If the archive has been created using WinRAR, why don't you try WinRAR itself? It has a built-in repair feature for repairing corrupted archive (ZIP as well as RAR). Follow the steps given below:
    • Open WinRAR application in your system.
    • Now click on File tab > Open or simply press Ctrl+O.
    • A small window "Find Archive" will pop up. Locate the corrupt RAR archive from your system directory and select it.
    • Now click Open button.
    • Click Tools tab > Repair archive or simply press Alt+R.
    • Again a small window "Repairing File name.rar" will pop up.
    • Now click Browse to select a location to save the repaired archive.
    • Check the box "Treat the corrupt archive as RAR" and click OK.
    • WinRAR will start repairing of corrupt RAR archive. Once it gets completed click Close.
    I hope the above steps will help you repair the corrupted RAR archive.

    Thanks.
