[Closed] Corrupted loop file on Q4OS Windows install

We are not able to reproduce the issue reliably so far, the issue seems to be hardware dependent.

Reproduce on UEFI systems:
- Install Q4OS, choose 21GB disk size
- Reboot to Q4OS
- Do not apply a desktop profile
- Login and reboot back to Windows as soon as possible
- Run the target drive integrity check from File Explorer > Properties > Tools

Re: [Closed] Corrupted loop file on Q4OS Windows install

an update on my reinstallation: on monday i reinstalled q4os winsetup and ran maintenance scan afterward. errors were found, rebooted into windows to repair errors, and then afterward for some reason q4os booted up. i decided to use the second desktop profile when i had reinstalled and have been slowly adding applications day by day. each day i checked the result of the automatic maintenance scan and there were no reports of errors. now, all of a sudden, on saturday morning (5 days after reinstall) i have received a notification "restart to repair drive errors". i am now wondering if the amount of applications installed have some bearing on what sets off the error notification. i don't know how all this works but i am guessing as i install applications the size of the debian folder is changing. maybe when it reaches a certain point possible errors are detected. i just thought i would pass this on as it may be a clue to someone more knowledgeable than me about what might be going on.

Well, we have fixed this bug today for Q4OS 4 Gemini. We recommend to make new Q4OS for Windows installation for all in order to get fixed installation. We are only waiting for a feedback before closing this bug report.
