Windows 10: Windows Defender corrupt files

Hi I have been having issues with my Ethernet and someone from the community suggested that since the issue might be because of corrupt Windows defender files.


Reasons it could be because of Windows defender:


1. When I navigate to Firewall & Network Protection I get 3 options, domain network, private network & public network. Each of those have the same issue when I open them saying "This setting is managed by your administrator". I am the administrator and this is my personal laptop.




2. I keep getting these notifications and when I click them it shows that no action is needed in Windows defender.


Already tried:

1. Updating/reinstalling Network card drivers from device management.

2. Obtain IP address automatically/manually in TCP/IPv4 settings.

3. Tried the cmd commands flushdns, reset, netsh etc.

4. Windows troubleshooter says: Ethernet does not have a valid IP configuration.

5. The port and cable are fine because I already tried it on different PC and it works fine for windows 8.1. The issue is with Windows 10.

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.

 

Microsoft Windows Home Server Corrupts Files

Microsoft has warned Windows Home Server users not to edit files stored on their backup systems with several of its programs, including Vista Photo Gallery and Office's OneNote and Outlook, as well as files generated by popular finance software such as Quicken and QuickBooks. "When you use certain programs to edit files on a home computer that uses Windows Home Server, the files may become corrupted when you save them to the home server," Microsoft said in a support document posted last week. The document went on to list the software, which includes Windows Vista Photo Gallery, Windows Live Photo Gallery, OneNote 2003, OneNote 2007, Outlook 2007, Microsoft Money 2007 and SyncToy 2.0 Beta. Others programs, however, may also corrupt files stored on a home server powered by Microsoft's operating system. "Additionally, there have been customer reports of issues with Torrent applications, with Intuit Quicken and with QuickBooks program files," the document said. "Until an update for Windows Home Server is available, we recommend that [you] do not use the programs that are listed to save or to edit program-specific files that are stored on a Windows Home Server-based system."

The challenge that you are experiencing is most likely due to a virus. A computer virus can corrupt or delete data on a computer. It can even delete everything on the hard disk.

Windows Defender by following the steps below:

• Type windows defender on the search bar.
