1. What is O&O BlueCon and what is it used for?
O&O BlueCon is a professional tool and recovery suite for diagnosing, repairing and recovering Windows systems. It is used when a system no longer starts, is damaged, or important administration tasks need to be performed outside of the running operating system. O&O BlueCon replaces the classic Windows emergency tools with a much more powerful, integrated solution.
2. Can systems be started even if they are switched off?
Yes – as long as the hardware supports Intel vPro or Intel AMT. O&O BlueCon makes full use of this technology. This allows IT administrators to remotely turn on, start and boot even switched off or power-free systems into the BlueCon environment. This is especially valuable for companies with remote locations or servers and PCs that are difficult to access.
3. Can I use O&O BlueCon even if no operating system is available?
Yes. O&O BlueCon can be started from an external medium such as USB, ISO or network. This allows BlueCon to run completely independently of the installed Windows system. This option is ideal for severely damaged systems, malware infestations, hardware failures, or complete system failures.
4. What repair tools are included in O&O BlueCon?
O&O BlueCon includes a variety of professional tools, including file recovery, disk checking, registry repair, password reset, system boot repair, driver checking, data backup, malware removal, file management, networking tools, and much more. The entire toolset is available both locally and in the WinRE remote environment.
5. Can I recover lost data with O&O BlueCon?
Yes. BlueCon includes tools for recovering deleted files, backing up damaged partitions, as well as accessing data from damaged systems. It is suitable for emergency scenarios, forensic analysis, and rescuing critical server or workstation data.
6. Can I reset or change user passwords?
Yes. O&O BlueCon enables the reset of user passwords – including administrator passwords – even if the system no longer starts or access is completely blocked. This is especially useful for help desk teams and enterprise administrators.
7. How is O&O BlueCon started?
BlueCon can be started locally from the Windows recovery environment, via an external medium such as USB or ISO. Booting is always isolated from the running system, so clean repairs are possible without running processes or system damage.
8. Does O&O BlueCon require an existing Windows installation?
No. BlueCon can be run completely independently via a bootable medium. This makes it suitable for damaged, formatted, or partially destroyed Windows systems as well. No working Windows is required.
9. Is O&O BlueCon also suitable for servers?
Yes. O&O BlueCon supports both Windows servers and Windows client systems. It can be used for domain controllers, file servers, terminal servers, virtual machines, and other enterprise systems.
10. What are the system requirements for O&O BlueCon?
BlueCon supports all current versions of Windows, including Windows 10, 11, and Windows Server 2016 through 2025.
11. Can O&O BlueCon also be used as a precautionary measure for system maintenance?
Yes. BlueCon is not only suitable for emergencies, but also for preventive maintenance: checking system integrity, repairing boot configurations, updating drivers, cleaning up user accounts or data – all without affecting the running system.
