ReactOS Looses / Discards changes made before crashing
Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2018 5:18 am
This is a old issue that I've noted with RoS, suppose this scenario:
Fresh install, I choose a screen resolution, install some apps, create or download files from internet, etc, then a FSE appears and the entire system has to be turn off and rebooted.
After rebooting you can notice that the changes you've made before the crash have been disappeared, even the files you could believe were written to disk (this tested both virtual and real hw) aren't on their folders, it's like the entire system is reset to its inital state (or the state saved on the last clean shutdown), of course if you do a clean shutdown, then every change is saved and written to registry or hard disk so at the new boot the changes remains.
I don't know why ReactOS lacks of this kind of persistence, seems that the changes only stays on RAM and if the system can't be resumed, those changes are lost.
Question: it is a real bug or a design feature?
Thanks everybody
