update history gone on Windows 10

<< < (3/7) > >>

hdrabkin:
Not sure what you mean by permissions reset in WR.
I was almost thinking of running Tweak again from the beginning since I saw that it fixed various permissions (which maybe the windows update changed again).
I will try the start menu fix and see if that helps.

Boggin:
It's difficult to know just what these updates are intended to do given MS's apparent underhandedness with Win 10 and if they require ownership of these files for their own purposes.

I think having seen how MS have forced Win 10 onto machines that their owners didn't want or the machines weren't up to it has led me to be quite cynical about MS.

hdrabkin:
Start menu fix found nothing wrong.
Anyway, sorry for previous too-little-caffine reply. I keep calling the program "Tweak" but of course it's WIndows Repair.  Just downloaded the WR update, and will re-run when I have a chunk of time later tonight. Before I did that, however, I noticed that WR has gone missing from my list in the system tray. *I* didn't remove it!

Boggin:
It's a pity that fix didn't work out - the extra bits it did seemed to fit your problem.

I think we all know what you mean by Tweak :)

Before running the repairs, ensure you manually create a registry back up should it not auto do so.

I haven't gotten around to reinstalling it on this machine yet following a factory reset, so don't know if 3.9.3 auto creates one now.

My system tray icon occasionally goes missing but returns and stays after opening the program but not necessarily running it.

hdrabkin:
So I ran wr twice in a row. Outcome:
issues with WMP no longer playing video files (but could play music), which started after the Microsoft windows update of June:
Fixed

Weather app broken: fixed.
News app semi-broken (would load certain modules like local news and videos, but not current new): worse; now app just loads a screen with news icon; the live tile still works
Calendar app: now broken
Store, photos, groove, still broken.
Calculator (broken after windows update); still broken.
Xbox solitare: still broken

I could see the background terminal window while WR ran still having issues with store (couldn't restore files ; files not found, etc.).

At least all non-windows related things (like my MS office 2016), non-ms programs (Corel photopaint shop, quickent, etc,) all still work.
SO I guess I wait for the "anniversary update" and see what happens.
Makes me want to take out my windows 7 install disc and reformat my drive back to windows 7
