If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your Pester.bat issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

Step 2: Run SFC (System File Checker) to restore the corrupt or missing Pester.bat file.

System File Checker is a utility included with every Windows version that allows you scan and restore corrupted system files. Use the SFC tool to fix missing or corrupt Pester.bat files (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying Pester.bat to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Windows BAT files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer.
