What stability problems can Reimage fix?
Built-in Windows applications:
These are applications on your PC that are strongly related and heavily integrated into your Windows operating system. Reimage has all of the necessary components (files and registry keys) in its spare parts server to fix them.
Third party applications:
Third party applications are not strongly integrated into your Windows operating system. They can include any application you've ever installed on your computer. In most cases, fixing the Windows components around these applications will also fix the application itself. On the other hand, Reimage cannot fix defects that exist in third-party software. Reimage simply does not have these spare parts in the repository.
Hardware and other issues:
Other problems may be hardware related or have nothing to do with the functionality of your Windows operating system. Reimage can't repair these issues - it cannot perform actions that require physical access to your PC.
How does Reimage measure PC stability?
When applications crash, they leave a record in the Windows event log. The event log counts when and how frequently the crash happened. It also records each time there was a crash in the operating system and stores it in "dump files". A Reimage scan utilizes a special capability to analyze the events log and weigh PC stability severity accordingly.
Reimage compares the amount of events, their severity and frequency to worldwide statistics, gathered from millions of other PC's Reimage has scanned. It considers the profile of a healthy PC as a reference and calculates a stability level based on that reference.
In certain situations, you may be aware of a PC stability problem but the Reimage preliminary scan glossed over it (or didn't report it at all). This usually happens with 'PC freeze', where Windows can't log the problem and so the Reimage program is not aware of its existence.
Note: This doesn't mean that your Reimage repair will be unsuccessful! The Reimage repair may not be reporting specific symptoms but will treat the operating system as a whole and replace damaged files, regardless of the stability level declared.
How far back does Reimage analyze my PC for stability calculation?
If you've not done a Reimage repair yet:
The program analyzes PC stability for the past 4 months or since your OS was installed (whichever is most recent).
If you've already done a Reimage repair:
The program analyzes your PC’s stability beginning from the most recent repair and that's why you'll see 100% stability right after performing a repair.
Tip: Run the scan once a month or so to see if your PC's stability level has degraded, in which case you may
