Repair Windows App repair job 38 now at 29 hours?
Boggin:
Shane isn't on the forum at the moment but when you run chkdsk from within the program, it only runs it in read-only mode and may not be accurate.
Run a chkdsk /r on its own and there's only a need to post its log if it shows anything substantial.
I assume you know where to find its log in Event Viewer and how to Copy/Copy details as text to paste into the reply box ?

Yes, Thanks Boggin, I have a go tomorrow, bed time now!
Boggin:
Okay - I won't belong in going to bed myself as it's just turned the witching hour.

Humm, Check disc (admin - cmd chkdsk /r) in (windows not safe mode) got to 17% and now I just have the whurlie wheel and pointer, no windows writing on the screen as before, although the hard drive light is flashing as if somethings happening, leaving it on for the time being...
Boggin:
The slow start up that you were experiencing could have been a sign that the drive was starting to fail but also masked because the Anniversary Update (AU) has also been causing that for some.
What are you using to post with ?
If you have another machine with a disk drive then you can download and create a SeaTools for DOS disk which will check the integrity of the hard drive but will not repair the files as a chkdsk /r could do.

I was getting that black screen and busy when trying to manually upgrade to the AU and power shutting down and a restart would give me Windows is attempting to recover the installation.
Sometimes it would and then I'd just get rolling back to previous OS.
I'm not sure if Windows will be able to recover in your case as I don't know what corruption will have occurred when it was trying to reinstall the apps or the condition of your hard drive, but with the SeaTools for DOS disk, at least you will be able to tell if it's OS corruption or a failing hard drive.
