Registry backup

Okay - hope it works.

I've occasionally done a repair install on my other upgraded Win 10 laptop when it didn't seem to be running as it should.

Well here is the latest.  I deleted all of the folders under Windowsapps.  Next I copied the folders under the WindowsApps from my healthy ASUS Windows Home Premium to the WindowsApps of the sick computer.  I am using that one now.  I went through a refresh and reboot.  When the system came up there were icons under the Apps icon under programs and when I clicked on a number of the ones that I would be interested in using they actually executed.   

Afterwards I had done a few things I should not have and had to do a recovery from my last EaseUsToDo image.  On the image there were two partitions C and an unnamed partition.  As an experiment, instead of doing a recovery, I opted for a System Transfer.  At the end of the transfer there is now only the C partition on the PC.  Need to check with my computer expert friend coming here today if I really should do a recovery not a transfer so that the unnamed partition is on the boot hard drive.

Now running your tweaking program to see if I screwed anything up in the last few days.

Thanks for you help,
Paul

Was that a 450MB recovery partition that you got rid of - Win 10 puts that on.

oldgray1938:
Yes I think so but I have never had the occasion to use it nor do I know how to use it.  Right now only a C partition on the drive.  So far windows has not put it back on the drive.

Boggin:
That 450MB partition allows you to go into the recovery environment should you need to repair your system.

I don't know if a repair install will reinstate it but I would advise you to restore with the image which will put it back on.
