Reboot to Safe Mode

<< < (2/3) > >>

Boggin:
I and others have found that using the program to create a restore doesn't create a restore point and it's best to use the Registry Restore.

I've mentioned this to Shane and hopefully that will be fixed in v4.0 which seems to be getting nearer to completion.

I have the Pro version and when I ran the program out of curiosity on a Win 7 machine, it just froze after the reboot.

I had to power shutdown and use the registry restore to get back to normal.

That same machine now has Win 10 but while it no longer freezes after the reboot, I keep getting pop ups to say that this that and the other app is reverting to default even though I haven't changed anything other than to default to IE and for it to use Adobe Reader to read PDFs.

It has been repaired installed a few times and while it may remove the IE icon from the System Tray, it has remained the default browser - haven't bother checking the default setting for PDFs.

I have another problem though on two laptops updated to the Creators and that is a chkdsk /f will not execute after the reboot with it just booting back into Windows.

I'm not alone with this so I'm going to revert them to 1607 where it does work.

I've finally given up as nothing I try seems to help. I even ran (as administrator) the tweaking all-in-one repair tool again and the problem STILL persists. I may have to restore  the system. If I don't will this problem with the Windows Security Service Centre harm my system?  Thanks for all help

Boggin:
I thought you said that the Security Center problem had been fixed ?

Is it accepting your password now ?

Unfortunately, the problem is still there. I thought I had cured it but it came back up on the next reboot. I am left with the choice of a System Restore or downloading windows install media (I had a look at this and it asks for a key - no key as I updated from windows 7 when the free upgrade was available). I have tried everything including a re-run of Tweaking All-In-One as administrator. I have searched Google/Windows forums and tried everything to no avail. As I am not prepared to do a Factory Default reset, I will have to live with the problem until I change my PC sometime in the near future. I am grateful for your help. Cheers

Boggin:
You shouldn't get prompted for a key.

Are you using this website - https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

I've created install media using the Download tool now button and my machines were upgraded from Win 7, but if you are still on 1607 then you can use the Update now button to update to 1703 but while the update should go smoothly, it may not be free from after effects.

Using the create install media and running a repair install with that would give you the Curators update anyway.

Go Start - type winver - press enter and that will tell you which version you have.

If you have 1607 then the Update now button will work.
