Running Registry Backup from the Windows Repair System Tray Icon
Still_Game:
Hi Boggin,
I'm writing this on my tablet, so can't remember exactly the terminology - in the system tray, I clicked on the red Windows Repair icon and then the shortcut which appears above to Backup Registry, I think. This produced a quick "flash" of the Registry Backup window that promptly disappeared. No new registry backup appeared in the folder in the root of C: drive where the backups normally end up...........
Boggin:
There are two options for the RB and the Backup Now one comes up and goes through the motions, but I would have thought the file time stamp should have changed for both the recent ones.
Anyway, just to check, I've deleted the earlier one and used the Backup Registry Now option and that has created a new file - so both options are working for me.

Thanks Boggin, I'll do some testing tomorrow when I can get back on my computer and see if I can find out more about what's happening.........

OK, so I fired up the notebook today, logged in and left it to sort itself out while I made a cup of tea! When I checked the RegBackup folder in C: drive, Registry Backup had successfully made its daily backup as it's set to do.
I then clicked on the WR icon in the system tray and clicked on Backup Registry Now. After a few seconds, the Registry Backup window popped up and then quickly disappeared. 20 minutes later I checked the RegBackup folder and there's no sign of a new backup. I have RB set to only create one automatic backup per day but have successfully created another manual backup in the past on the same day from the RB tab in WR, as I would expect to be able to.
It's no big deal because I know now to avoid trying to create a registry backup from the system tray icon short cut as it works perfectly from within WR itself - but I think there may be a bug here?
I'm Running Windows Repair Pro 3.7.3
Boggin:
Could you delete that one then try the system tray icon method in Safe Mode, as your AV program may not like something working on the system files.
While that wouldn't explain why you can set it auto or from within WR - AV programs can be finicky at times.
