This is a PNY 115gb flash drive, no partition, bad boot sector etc with running testdisk in various partition formats,,, so I have now
ran it multiple times with photorec … it runs for about an hour or so and then kicks out with
the same 21 files recovered. I thought it might be background programs causing this Kickout - windows 10 edge screen popup "directory name invalid") but even with an msconfig shutdown of the background programs … it just did it again, only a little sooner than with the bg programs running …. thanks in advance in what to try next!

Re: photoRec keeps stopping at same place/time
Can you run Windows 10 in safe mode and try the latest PhotoRec 7.2-WIP ?
Do you have the same problem ?

Re: photoRec keeps stopping at same place/time
Yes, kicked out earlier in that mode. I tried to run it with zar x last night and it ran for almost 16 hours … then kicked out. Perhaps that can give someone a clue. There appears to be data there … but how to access it? It crossed my mind that it could be a momentary contact hardware issue where the contact disengages momentarily … and the software does/cannot resync ? Is that plausible?

Try to clone the disk using ddrescue as described in https://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.pdf
Once it's done, remove the original disk and try photorec on the image file. When using PhotoRec, choose [Whole] instead of [Free].
