redialing

The redialing tag on WindowsForum.com covers issues where Windows Fax and Scan or the FAX service automatically redials phone numbers, often after a failed fax transmission. In Windows 8.1, users have reported that the FAX service becomes stuck in a redial loop, attempting to redial at boot up even when the program is not open, and repeatedly redialing after a fax is cancelled. This behavior can occur after a single successful fax, with subsequent faxes hanging or reporting a busy line. Troubleshooting steps discussed include reinstalling the FAX service, running system file checker, and performing a Windows 8.1 upgrade over Windows 8. The tag focuses on resolving unwanted automatic redialing in the Windows FAX system.
