NTFS Support: Improved drive handling for NTFS file systems

FAT Data Recovery: Enhanced recovery algorithms to better handle cases involving file system corruption on FAT drives

Video Preview: Fixed the video preview engine

Extended heuristics to handle difficult FAT cases (media scanning in "damaged" mode)

Improved DEEP SCAN engine to deliver more accurate and comprehensive results

Fixes for issues related to creating images of damaged disks:

• Relative sector issue (occurred when the disk was selected as a partition rather than a physical drive)

• Correction of "bad skips"

• Enhanced imaging of severely damaged disks (high density of bad sectors) and improved data recovery in extreme scenarios

• Disk images created in StrongRecovery now use backup copies of the boot sector to repair the main BOOT RECORD

Extended Video Preview Support
High-quality thumbnail generation and instant preview have been added for the most popular video formats, including MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, and FLV. This allows users to verify file integrity before starting the full recovery process.

Enhanced NTFS Recovery Algorithm
Support for the NTFS Master File Table (MFT) has been improved, enabling more accurate reconstruction of file structures. These changes result in a higher file recovery success rate—especially for large files—on drives formatted under Windows.

Improved FAT16/FAT32/EXFAT File System Analysis
The scanning engine for FAT‑based systems (commonly used on SD cards and USB drives) has been updated. The upgrade provides more comprehensive results.

Rebuilt Deep Scan Engine
Significant optimizations have been made to the Deep Scan (Raw Recovery) module. The engine now offers improved signature matching and advanced heuristic analysis.

Significantly upgraded StrongRecovery Deep Scan engine to provide industry-leading file name retrieval and metadata reconstruction. This update focuses on the most popular file formats to ensure your data is not just recovered, but perfectly organized

Improved Audio Metadata Retrieval:

• MP3 & FLAC: Enhanced naming logic for music files, including full support for various character encodings (ID3 tags) and bitrate variations

Optimized Microsoft Office Recovery (OOXML):

• Significant improvements in identifying and restoring original names for DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX files

Advanced PDF Restoration:

• Updated deep-parsing algorithms for PDF files to ensure better accurate naming

Refined Web & Email Extraction:

• HTML & EML:

  • Improved detection and recovery of web pages and email archives, with expanded support for diverse encoding standards
