Let it finish, then use my Windows repair, have it do a registry backup first and have it do all the repairs, make sure to run the repairs in Windows safe mode. Then once done reboot and go back into Windows like normal and give it a try. The Windows updates will say checking for updates for a while as my repair clears it and so it starts fresh, so it takes a little time :-)

Do the sfc scan first, then go into windows safe mode and do all the repairs, not just the defaults. Then when you reboot update shouldnt have ran itself yet because it will take it a while to do the first scan of the system to rebuild the update database.

The repairs shouldnt over lap each other, if they are then something is messing with the repairs, this is why you need to make sure to run it in safe mode. :wink:

Once done that way it should take longer than the 20 min it seems to have taken you last time, but hey, if you are on a fast system with ssd it could go that fast lol

They ain't overlapping, but duplicate cmd boxes appear on certain tests.

Sfc found errors that couldn't be repaired.

Shane:
Odd, the program has the bat files create a file on the root of the c drive, the program waits for about 3 or 4 sec and then starts looking for that file, when the file is gone, because the end of the repair deletes it, then the program starts the next repair, or in the case when a repair is running under the system account and then the user account.

Is it all the repairs that are doing that? Also did you run them in safe mode? Havent got an answer to that yet lol

It is almost 8 pm for me and my head is going to pop. I am done for the night and I have some customers I have to go fix tomorrow, so I will reply again after that.

I see you posted while typing this and the sfc found files it couldnt fix, doing a chkdsk on the drive and have it look for bad sectors would be a good idea

chkdsk c: /r

Also after that is done download the windows system readiness tool from MS and see if it can correct those bad files. :wink:

Night!
