Just had a great result after a small disaster while resetting the ipma with forscan, reset ipma with my laptop and it switched off mid loading, lost all cameras, cruise control, and lane centring etc and numerous fault codes that would not clear, as it stores them to default back to them when forscan loads, after lots of frustration and checking various threads I asked the AI on google, had a few answers and explanations why it had bricked when the laptop switched off, it told me there were hidden
forscan files in windows that had to be deleted, to allow it to find and load a new as built ipma file, took a while to find the files as I'm no computer geek but deleted them and it allowed me to finally clear the fault codes and load the new as built file, after calibrating the cameras everything working great.
I accessed it through the run box in windows hidden files, vehicles folder and deleted everything in it, after that loading was pretty straightforward. Hope this helps if it happens to anyone on here.
