Report slow repair"bug"
Gamezertruth:
Problem with the new version 1.9.18 and I would like to do I report some of the repair options have more time than usual time that it needs to be 10 or 15 minutes to get some of the repair done '!
So the new version has a bug and you need to fix this following repair options! >>=)
rest file Permission. This option is now looking up to our files on our system??That is why needs time to get done. More than 20 minutes just for this option? :thinking:
This repair WMI option also needs a lot of time to get done? :undecided:
unhide non system files option also needs a lot of time to get done? :confused:

- Switch temporarily off your AV. Helps to speed up things.
- On my Win 7 system these repairs took 15 (reset file permissions), 6 (WMI) & 2 (Unhide files) minutes to perform. Yes, it takes time to do these repairs.

This has always done that, it does each folder on the root of the drive, and that also means all sub folders. As for speed the speed of the drive and the CPU will affect the speed of the repair greatly.
And of course if the AV is running it is scanning every file it touches which slows it down as well.

Yes, this is because it now searches for the mof and mlf files to add back to the WMI by 3rd party programs. It was greatly needed and helps avoid the AV not showing up in the security center till the AV does an update. Not to mention helps when people have other programs that added themselves to WMI such as .net and others. SO again based on CPU and drive speed affects the speed.

This one shouldnt have slowed down much, I did change what API it uses to search for files so it could handle unicode files and folders. Again the AV will slow this down as well.
At the same time I also have it check for symbolic links now so it never gets stuck in a loop. That does require more cpu so i guess it would slow done a small amount base don your cpu and what else is running at the same time :-)

Willy2:
But the *.mof & *.mfl files for ".Net" are, on my win 7 system, not placed in the "%windir%\system32" subfolder but in %windir%\Microsoft.net".
Type this command ("dir c:\*.mof /s /b /p" & "dir c:\*.mfl /s /b /p") and see what pops up (outside that nasty "winsxs" subfolder).
Something for the next WMI update ?
Shane:
Perhaps, I followed the guide on the one link you gave me. For WIndows vista and newer they dont have it do that, I think because of the winsxs folder. I wonder if .net puts a copy of the files in the webam folder.
