About this tag
The migrecover tag covers discussions about the MigRecover.exe command-line tool, which is used to extract data from Windows Easy Transfer archives. Users report issues where the tool completes extraction with 100% progress but fails to actually recover files, sometimes returning an error about generic file names. The tag includes troubleshooting attempts to retrieve data from WET archives that cannot be opened through the normal Windows Easy Transfer interface. Common themes include command syntax problems, incomplete recovery, and long-term efforts to salvage migrated data.
