What is FixWin
FixWin 10 is a program that allows you to fix various problems that occur in Windows 10. This can be Internet interruptions, problems opening and installing other applications, etc. The utility is absolutely free and does its job quite well, compared to others similar programs on the Internet in plain sight. The only drawback is the lack of a Russian version, but knowing English at least at a basic level, you can easily work in FixWin.
Installing the app
Let’s figure out how to install FixWin.
- Sometimes on the Internet you can find sites offering to install the Russian version of the application. Don’t get fooled by this! When you install a file from such a site, there is a chance that your computer will be infected. To avoid this, you need to download the program only from the official resource.
- After going to the site, scroll down the page and click on the “Download File” button.
- Select the location where the archive with the installation file will be installed.
- Now you need to unpack this archive. This can be done using WinRAR or any other archiver. You can read more about this in our other article.
- In the archive, we are interested in the FixWinexe. Start it up.
Pros and cons of the program
The only drawback can be considered the presence of only the English version. However, as mentioned earlier, no special knowledge of the language is required to successfully use this software. Among the advantages, we can note the high performance and versatility of the program. It is also very convenient that all fixes are categorized. Also FixVin does not require installation on a computer.
