AIO Repair Reset File Permissions

<< < (2/6) > >>

Shane:
The program remove empty and old log files, make sure to always have the log files in a sub folder.

Take a screen shot fo the cmd.exe window when it gets stuck. The program uses s MS security tool to change the permissions and it is ran from a cmd.exe Window. I also have the tool set to ignore symbolic links, so I want to try and find out what and why it is getting what seems to be stuck in a loop.

Hi Shane the 2 x missing files are my own personal files is there anyway of getting them back? They were also Notepad.
It was like the log files replaced my own personal files.

I have attached three screenshots going from very slow to stuck.

I couldn't screenshot the cmd.

Thank you

It doesn't look like it is getting stuck. The hkey local machine is the biggest part of the registry and will take a while. I can see the system is low on memory and the last done regkey shows it is changing.

The program is accessing the registry file on the drive itself and if your low on memory then a lot of the memory is getting pushed to the page file which is also on the drive and will really slow things up.

It is possible that it didnt get stuck in a loop but instead just got slowed down to a crawl.

I will try it on the other laptop that it runs straight through and is bout the same memory.

It does get stuck after awhile, left it for 2 hours and had moved approx  500 files but then gets even slower to a point it could leave it over night and still going, though moved slightly.

Thanks again

I dont think you can get the 2 txt files back. The program removes any txt file that is less than 3 bytes in size so users dont have a ton of empty logs. Thats why it should always be in a sub folder.

I am thinking about changing the way it stores logs to auto make a sub folder with the date and time and every time you run it a new folder is made instead of the last log files be over written.

On the permissions, if it was stuck in a loop then the number of files it was changing would climb and keep growing at normal speed because it would be in a loop and never stop. What you have described is it slowing down to a crawl.

The next thing I would do is do a bad sector check on the drive. If the permissions is trying to access files that happen to be on a bad sector then it would bring it down to a crawl as well.
