Hello, after my windows 8.1 suddenly went off due to a power failure because of a blackout in the city, I turned it on to get many errors. First error is every time I want to run firefox it asks me if it should be chosen as the default browser. Second error
I detected is that the view settings does not get saved for any folder I open in explorer.exe/file explorer.
I am guessing some system file or registry got corrupt due to the sudden power off.
SFC /Scannow does not fix this. This is not the first time or first PC I have encountered this issue. This seems to be an issue which is only for windows 8.1 and does not get fixed by, System repair, Sfc/ Scannow, or Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth.
I have been trying various fixes on three of my PCs but each time my PC turns off due to a power outage along the city, this happens. Slowly the System will show more error and eventually it will get unusable. Now I know it gets fixed if I re-install windows
8.1, but if I have to re-install everytime there is an accident or anything and without any recovery options that seems kinda wierd doesnt it?
Also, I updated to 38.0.1 of firefox on the morning no problem. And worked on firefox for 6 hours already.
