  1. Unable to download a certain file.


    Hello, I've recently been trying to download this file. <potentially hazardous file removed by VM> It is an exploit for an online game I play. Sadly it keeps getting blocked/denied due to the reason of having a potential virus. I've already scanned it and it's a false positive. However I don't know how to work my way around downloading this. May someone please help?

    :)

  2. Unable to download certain applications

    Hi,

    Thank you for getting back with a reply.

    This issue may also happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly
    follow the below given steps:

    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Command prompt (Admin)
      to bring up elevated Command prompt.
    • In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
    • Restart the computer.
    If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

    • Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
    • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    • Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

    Hope the information helps. Keep us posted on Windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.

  3. Downloaded files disappear


    When you download a file through any browser, there's an option somewhere to 'Open Containing Folder.'

    In Windows, to find a file you have downloaded...

    • Open your personal folder by clicking the Start button and then clicking your user name at the top of the Start menu's right pane.
    • Double-click one of the following folders:
      • Downloads
      • Documents
      • Pictures
      • Videos
      • Music


    If you do not see the file you are looking for, but know its file name, you can search for it by following these steps:
    To search for a file you have downloaded...

    • Click the Start button
    • Type all or part of the file name into the Search box.
      The file you are looking for will appear in the list of results.

    Unable to download a certain file.

    Unable to download

    Is there something wrong with the server providing the download for SysTool? I'm unable to download the application using Firefox or IE.

    Are there any mirrors?

    Thanks.
