Folders returning to default orders & Firefox doesn't remain as default browser
Neon Henchman:
I followed all of the optionnal steps, like the "Check Disk", but as for the Repair options at the very end, like "Reset WMI" and "Repair Hosts File", I'm pretty sure I went with all of the options, except for the Windows 8 repairs and Recycle Bin of all Drives.
I would like to point my finger though at "Set Windows Services To Default Startup".
Julian:
weird i don't get my folder options changed at all or any of my icon sizes they stay the same.
firefox is no longer default but that is normal.
Neon Henchman:
Welp I've found another problem, my Adobe products (notably Photoshop CS6 and Premiere Pro CS5), wouldn't launch like normal because of [Error: 16], and after having followed some instructions, one of which is to Run as Administrator, Photoshop seems to work like normal, but trying to run Premiere Pro without administrator rights lets me get to the editing screen for a bit, to then produce this: [Error: 213:8].
I'm currently using Adobe's Licensing Recorery Tool to fix Premiere Pro.
It may be a coincidence that it happens after using Tweaking.com, after using these tools for 4 years, but... heh, I kinda have my doubts.
Neon Henchman:
Sorry for the double post, but I've bit my knuckles and decided to restore the first Registry backup with the broken WMI, although there was some stuff I had to reinstall annoyingly enough. I then followed Boggin's instructions:
--- Quote from: Boggin on January 09, 2017, 05:14:18 am ---Using the Registry Restore would just give you back the WMI problems, but you can do that then run a command prompt as an administrator and enter these commands for a specific WMI fix.
winmgmt /standalonehost
net stop winmgmt
winmgmt /resetrepository
net start winmgmt
You may get a message to say that is already started.
Enter shutdown /r /t 00 to effect and immediate reboot.

Yeah I tried that, and...
I still have broken WMI. I even used Tweaking.com and only repaired the WMI, but that didn't do any good either. Plus, I still have a broken Premiere Pro.
I'm completely boned, I've wasted week-ends on this stupid thing, and either way, I have horrible defects that annoy me. I might as well just revert back to the Registries where I have broken folders, at least I could work on Word.
Edit: Well the folder problem seems ""OK"", for now, it sort of fixed itself after I restored the "Good WMI" registries. But now, how do I fix Error 0x80004005 ? Stuff online always speaks of network issues, but I just can't set stars and genres on music anymore.
I can't fix a problem without getting another, it's maddening, and I'm even scared of ever using Tweaking.com (Windows Repair) at this point.
Edit 2: I've reused the tool afterall, but I still have Error 0x80004005, and it seems that video files thumbnails are broken, not displaying at all. I can't use the tool anymore, and I've been using the latest update. I decided to System Restore back to where I have the broken folders.
Edit 3: So apparently the solution to my Folder resetting was incredibly simple; make a Registry backup, and reload it immediatly after. I did a Power Reset, and it remained mostly functionnal, however there's still the cellphone producing audio files.
Neon Henchman:
Sorry for bumping like this, but after a week, I still have the problems with the cellphone producing audio files, and I kind of don't want to let the thread die.
Now though, my idea is to reinstall/repair the vanilla Windows Codecs, so is there any way I can do that? I've been looking around teh Microsoft website, but I found nothing.
I must note though that I'll never use the Tweaking.com - Windows Repair tool ever again, that thing has just been scarring my computer since the start.
