Windows Repair v3.9.23 stops at repairing

(1/5) > >>

PeterJ:
Hi,

On a computer that has problems running explorer.exe, Windows_Repairs stops when item 03 or 04 are checked.
THe computer crashes in Safe Mode after 5 minutes so Safe Mode is not an option.
Attached 2 logfiles of Windows_Repairs.

How can I solve this issue with Windows_Repairs ?

Thanks, PeterJ

Try the following. It COULD (!!!) help
- Uncheck the problem repairs and run all other repairs. Then simply run all repairs once more.

Boggin:
Have you created a Win 10 install disk that you can boot up with ?

If you haven't then you can by using the Download tool now button in https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 but read the section on how to create bootable media.

You will need to change the boot order in the BIOS to boot from the DVD drive before the SSD/HDD - are you using a SSD or HDD ?

You can get into the BIOS by pressing and holding F2 throughout a Restart

Use the cursor keys to navigate to Boot then use F5 or F6 to move the DVD (ODD) drive to the top - insert the disk - press F10 to Exit and Save - confirm

Press any key when prompted to boot from CD/DVD.

Change/confirm the Time and currency format - Next then select Repair your computer

Select Troubleshoot - Command Prompt

Type bcdedit |find "osdevice" and press enter.

That is a Pipe symbol before find and is the upper case of \

Using whichever partition letter, enter chkdsk x: /r where x is the partition letter.

Make a note of what it reports, especially if it reports any KBs in bad sectors.

If it reports any bad sectors, then that will be the cause of the WR failing to run.

Disregard Error 50 as it would normally have created a Wininit entry in Event Viewer but as you are working outside of Windows, then it can't.

When that has completed, enter this command -

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows

Note there is a space before each /

This will take a while to run but will compare and replace any corrupt files from the incorrupt source of the install disk.

Make a note of what that reports then enter exit to close the cmd window - remove the disk and then you can opt to continue with a normal boot or shutdown.

Let us know what those two cmds reported and if they have resolved the explorer problem.

No, I'm not the owner of this machine.

Chkdsk c: /r stops at about 10%.
Chkdsk c: /f completes successfully.
SFC /scannow already done: no errors found.
CrystalDiskInfo reports no problem with drive C:

A chkdsk /r can take quite a while on some machines - it just looks like it's frozen but is still working.

Does the machine still crash in Safe Mode even when not running any programs ?

I'm not sure if Event Viewer would have recorded that crash, but check it for the Error time stamps for when it occurred.

There will be quite a few as Windows tries to start services etc. that are blocked in that mode.

Did you use the program to boot to Safe Mode or boot to Safe Mode with Networking and then run the program ?
