Repair

<< < (4/9) > >>

Boggin:
There are three types "disk" you can create to help recover Win 10.

One is the System Repair Disk much like what you would/should have created when you had Win 7 which will get you to the Recovery Environment when you boot up with it, a second is an install disk created with the MCT and can be downloaded from the link I've posted and finally a Recovery USB but that can be between 8 and 16GB.

I've never created or used a Recovery USB.

You have already tried to download the ISO but the .exe got in the way.

Depending upon when you upgraded to Win 10 will depend on the ISO you got.

If it was pre-Aug. last year then it will be for 1511 and after Aug. it will be the current 1607 so I don't really know what type of disk you have created.

But to use either you would need to change the boot order.

You'll be able to get into the BIOS without any .exe getting in the way by pressing and holding F2 throughout a Restart until the BIOS comes up.

Use your cursor keys to navigate to the Boot tab and again to select ODD (CD/DVD drive) then use F5 or F6 to move that to the top of the list.

Insert the disk and press F10 - confirm then press any key to boot from CD/DVD when prompted.

You'll have to go through the motions with it to let me know what you get.

If you end up with a splash screen where you have the option to Install or Repair your computer, then select the Repair.

Thanks a lot for your advices. Will let you know, when I have performed the actions. Hopefully I will succeed! http://www.tweaking.com/forums/Smileys/smillhey/undecided.png

When I got to repair the fun stopped. It said something about lack of files in order to perform a repair.
I have tried to start the PC in fail/safe condition.It made no difference, while standarddrivers and standardsetup apparently was ok.
I guess I have to reinstall Windows 10 (without deleting my files). If I do that, where should I tick a box in order to avoid this mess, where I don't have a build from where I can start again? When I try to start from a build, Windows says (in my translation): You cannot use this option because control of user account is set to always inform you  of changes to your system.
I have a backup of my C: partition from sep16, i.e. as far as I remember before my troubles began. If I restore my C: with the backup, do you think it will work
without problems? I mean does it "repair" the registry-problems?

Boggin:
Yes, I'd try that back up as your system will then be as is when you made the back up.

You will need to reinstall anything you have installed since that date of course and it will invoke Windows Update, but hopefully they won't have the same effect this time around.

If the back up is on an external HDD then it would be best to boot up with a system repair disk so that you avoid going through Windows.

erlingstar:
Thanks, I will try that next week. I hope the exe files will work. I have the backup on an external HDD.
Will advise you of the results. Brgds, - and thanks a lot for all your prompt answers.
