Had the RAM fail on my Windows 11 PC. So now I am concerned that some of the user data on my PC may have been corrupted.
For instance, possibly I opened a file and then saved it and it was written with bad data from the RAM. (This would not be protected by the SSD’s error protection.)
I know about SFC and DISM and CHKDSK and the like, but those do not check the user data. I am talking about the stuff in my USER folder, like documents, spreadsheets, pdfs, jpgs, mpgs, etc.
How would I be able to check these files for corruption automatically?
Lots of stuff doesn’t have checksums.
Yes I have backups… But I’d rather check the local data first. I have no idea how long the RAM has been broken and various backups could hold corrupt data too. Best to check my local data first.
