wsarc

WSARC, or Windows System Assessment and Recovery Console, is a command-line tool developed by Microsoft for Windows operating systems. It is designed to provide a minimal environment for troubleshooting and repairing system issues. WSARC can be accessed through the Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) or by booting from a Windows installation media and selecting the "Repair your computer" option.

The primary functions of WSARC include:

1. System Recovery: WSARC can help recover a Windows installation by repairing system files, boot configurations, and other critical components.

2. System Assessment: It provides tools to assess the health of the system, including disk checks, memory diagnostics, and hardware compatibility checks.

3. File and Directory Management: WSARC allows users to navigate, copy, and delete files and directories, which can be useful for data recovery or cleanup.

4. Networking: It supports basic networking functions, enabling users to connect to network shares or access network resources for troubleshooting or data recovery.

WSARC is particularly useful for IT professionals and advanced users who need to troubleshoot and repair Windows systems without a full operating system installation. It is not intended for everyday use but serves as a powerful tool for system recovery and maintenance.
