How long do you let it run?

(1/2) > >>

The old timer:
I have an old pc that has Windows 8 on it. The machine has never been really quick. Since it was having a couple of problems I decide to try running the all in 1 suite on it.

It's now been going for about 3 hours & is still on step 1 which I have been told is the slowest. I still seems to be processing & already lists a few things that it wants to change or already changed. I dont if it makes change as it goes or not.

How long can it take & do I just let it run?

The old timer:
It's still running having gone overnight.  Do I just abort the process?  If I do will any of the changes detected take effect?

When Windows 8 was installed I recall that within the first few days lots of update occurred.  I still get some & they work.  The update to 8.1 doesn't.

Shane:
Step 1 is still running? Can you post a screen shot of the desktop for me so I can see the program and if the cmd.exe window is running. Also check the task manager and make sure the setacl exe is running. :wink:

The old timer:
Sorry for not getting back sooner.  I wanted to send you a screen show as you suggested.  I aligned the window with the task manager window which showed that the  cmd.exe window was running.  I had intended to use the snipping tool to take the picture but found the it appeared to be missing.  The old screen print using print didn't appear.  I don't know if its even supposed to be in Windows anymore.

So I aborted the program & restarted the PC & wold it to rerun all modules.  Its still running but is almost finished.  I can set one thing that its currently repairing & that is the snipping tool.  I will let it finished ,then reboot & see if there are any changes.   I have to go out now so it might be a while.

The old timer:
Once finished the pc was rebooted. I had to request this becuse the program didn't do it even though the box to do so was ticked.  The first thing I looked for the snipping tool & was pleased to see it was restored.

It then did a lot of updates that previously failed, so that to seems to have been fixed.  I will look later to see if it also moved to version 8.1 or not.

I'll let you know. Thanks again as things certainly been improved.
