Windows File Recovery is a command-line software utility from Microsoft to recover deleted files.[1][2] It is freely available for Windows 10 version 2004 (May 2020 Update) and later from the Microsoft Store.[3]
Windows File Recovery can recover files from a local hard disk drive (HDD), USB flash drive, or memory card such as an SD card.[4][5] It can work to some extent with solid-state drives (SSD).[6]
The program is run using the winfr command.[4] It has a mode designed for NTFS file systems, that will attempt recovery of files from a disk that is corrupted or has been formatted.[5] Another mode will attempt recovery of specific file types from FAT and exFAT (predominantly found on external devices) and ReFS file systems.[5][6]
