Windows 10 repair reverts 1607 back to 1511
jonjof:
Could you perhaps also comment on "strange" files [about 100 at least] that remained on the desktop after the Tweak Repair? I usually only have around 10 files on the desktop.
They appear to have some links to executable windows files, because when I tried moving or deleting them, I received a message about possible problems on doing this!!!
Perhaps there was something else I could have done to :manage" these?
Boggin:
This is also a strange phenomenon - can you post a screen shot and I'll get someone to look at it.
Which version of Windows Repair did you use and did you run the repairs in Safe Mode ?
jonjof:
Unfortunately I did not take a screen shot. The names were meaningless, and there were some files that may have been pdf’s but they could not be opened or viewed, as one sees with corrupted files. I used a recent version of the repair application dated 6 November and did run the repair in safe mode.
Interestingly I ran the repair on a local user account, and the corrupted files were found on the domain user account after the repair.
Boggin:
Do you have the same situation on another computer that you had on this one where you could take a screen shot and copy that pic across to post.
If you have a look at www.tweaking.com you will see which version of Windows Repair you ran as there wasn't an updated version between 12th July and 12th Dec.
We need to ensure you actually ran Windows Repair and not perhaps Reimage which can sometimes pop up in an advert as some have done.
I've been in contact with Shane who wrote the program and he can't see either how it could have rolled you back because it would have had to have changed thousands of files.
I'm going to have to go shortly but will be back later.
jonjof:
The corrupted files I saw only occurred on one client and I reverted back to original situation using Paragon image restore after spending too much time trying to fix the problem.
So unfortunately I can’t give you now any further specific data on those corrupted files.
I definitely used Windows Repair from Tweaking, and I am aware of Reimage, which I am a bit suspicious of.
The exe I used is called ‘windows_repair.exe’ and the file size is around 29 MB. Dated 6 November 2016.
I agree also it is probably impossible to have reverted back a version of W10. I had assumed the update had completed as I did not see a message that the update had reverted, which I usually note on the feature update failure.
I repaired the second of the 3 problem computers with Tweaking repair, and I did not see anything similar to the first issue. I do know for sure the update did not complete on this one, so it seems clearer the windows update itself did not reverse completely back to normal.
I will probably only get physical access to the third computer next week, as it is far from where I am now.
if the latest update does not fix the issue , I will run Tweaking Repair again and see if anything similar happens, but I doubt to see the same thing again!
