Superfetch service missing.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Boggin:
I've been looking into the Dependencies of SuperFetch and the File Info FS Minifilter could be causing problems but also if FltMgr isn't loading properly which could be causing the freezes.

I've come across this article which would appear to fix both - http://servicedefaults.com/7/fileinfo/

Use the dropdown to select your Windows version, but create a restore point first.

I think I would start with the FltMgr first which you can access by the FltMgr hyperlink in the article - creating a restore point before running each.

At a command prompt run as an administrator, enter regsvr32 sysmain.dll and if it is already loaded then you should get an error message to that effect - then I would try those steps in the article.

I followed your suggestions, and they didn't correct the problem.  I had to leave the computer running
overnight in order for it to unfreeze itself.

I certainly appreciate your going all out to help solve the problem.  I'm clutching at straws, and will give
you any additional info that may help, as follows:

ohgee:
1-  After the computer unfreezes an error message comes up- "C\Win\System32\Compmgmt.msc; This
     operation returned because the timeout period expired."
2-  In the startup, between the screens that say "Starting Windows" and "Welcome", I hear a short pop
      emanating from the speakers.
3-  When the computer unfreezes there is a message in the screen's bottom right that says;
                  "Windows7 Build 7601 This copy of Windows not genuine."
     I bought this copy from a legitimate vendor in 2014.  It came in a sealed MS Corp. package with all of
     the official ID's and product key.

I'm including the above in the hope that the info might help you to help me.

Boggin:
I don't really know what else to suggest for that SuperFetch problem given that you've reinstalled and not sure what that "pop" signified but it doesn't sound healthy.

I'll pass this problem on to see if there are any other solutions.

Is this the first time you've received the not genuine message ?

Run a command prompt as an administrator and enter these cmds which should resolve the not genuine message.

You can copy & paste the longer one to the cmd prompt to eliminate any typos.

net stop sppsvc
(wait until the service has stopped before entering the following lines)

CD %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform

REN tokens.dat tokens.bar

net start sppsvc

slui.exe

After a couple of seconds the Windows Activation dialog will appear.

You may be asked to re-activate and/or re-enter your product key, or Activation may occur automatically.

If you are asked for your key then use what came with the package.

Reboot.

I'm just wondering if the System Update Readiness Tool might fix Superfetch.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/947821

Scroll down the page and download the appropriate version - for a 64 bit system it's 533MB so it's worth clicking on Save should you need it in the future and then you can run it as and when from your Downloads folder.

You can view its log in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS then double click on the Checksur one which will open in Notepad.

jpm:
Use tweak prefetch to disable super fetch.

You should see the problem go away.

You can then experiment with the setting to see what works best for you.
