AOMEI has emailed asking us to review this free file recovery utility of theirs, as we don't do reviews I normally just delete these sorts of requests, however, free file recovery software could be useful to some of you guys and I've never seen this one mentioned, so here's a link, take a look.

What is WinfrGUI?

WinfrGUI is a free windows file recovery software that adds a graphical interface to Microsoft’s Windows File Recovery (a command-line tool).

Like all the free ones, they only recover files. The more useful feature to recover lost partitions is still a premium feature with AOEMI.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

My wish is that MS just get off their lazy arses and do some new developing - bring stuff like DISM into the 20th century - those API's need to be rewritten (even as UWP ones) and a GUI done - same for other legacy stuff.

As Bree mentioned in his post #7 it is indeed "a GUI front end to make it easier to use the Microsoft Windows File Recovery app" available in Microsoft Store using the command line winfr source-drive:destination-drive:[/mode] [/switches].

WinfrGUI is written by an individual programmer and not by brand AOMEI. I do not know why AOMEI wants it to be reviewed.

There are many undelete programs available. I have been using Glary Utilities for a long time, and hence I normally recommend the "Restore deleted files" in Glary Utilities.

19-04-2022 11-31-34.jpg

How does it compare with this WinfrGUI program?

I ran both the "Restore deleted files"from Glary utilities and WinfrGUI on my F: Audio drive .Both found 9 deleted audio files.

While Glary Utilities shows all deleted files with their status, it gives me an option to recover the files I want to recover. WinfrGUI writes all the recovered files to a destination folder.

19-04-2022 11-34-34.jpg

19-04-2022 13-17-39.jpg


By its very nature these undelete programs will work only if a partition with drive letter exists.

You are right. When I click on "About" in the program it shows the copyright is held by AOMEI International Netwok Limited

19-04-2022 15-41-59.jpg


When I click on "Help" at the end of the Get started guide in Help Center - WinfrGUI it states


19-04-2022 16-01-37.jpg


May be there is some sort of legal agreement between the individual developer and AOMEI to promote the software.. But it is very clear that for any suggestions the individual has to be reached.

I'm betting they bought it / hired the dev.

I used the native Windows CLI tool to much success in recovering all that data I (well, the Windows Media Creation Tool, but thanks to my non-observant commands) erased from my old HDD a couple of years ago. Between that and TestDisk / PhotoRec, I'm good with recovery apps.

I'm going to guess that all of this discussion is directed to HDD drives. SSD drives, when the file is deleted, it's gone forever. Correct?

How is it " Very Unprofessional" ?
They wanted something, They bought it/Hired the dev, Whats very unprofessional about buying software or EMPLOYING someone to make the program for you. FYI companies hire dev's to make programs etc. I genuinely don't get how it is unprofessional lol

I discovered something about WinfrGUI.
I had installed Winfr before but forgot I uninstalled it then installed WinfrGUI and ran it and it looked like it was doing something. After a day trying to recover files there was nothing in the folder.
WinfrGUI does not check if Winfr is installed.

Wait, So this is a GUI front end only tool for a CLI tool that doesn't check for the presence of the CLI tool it needs in order to function?????

Great job, AOMEI. Great job.
