Not to be confused with Windows 7 File Recovery.

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), solid-state drive (SSD), USB flash drive, or memory card such as an SD card.[4][5] It has a default mode designed primarily for NTFS file systems, that will attempt recovery of files from a disk that is corrupted or has been formatted. A second signature mode will attempt recovery of specific file types from FAT, exFAT and ReFS file systems.[5]
