Windows Repair Pro Question

(1/4) > >>

ka6uup:
Is it possible to run Windows Repair Pro with out loosing personal settings
Thanks,
Chuck

Boggin:
Initially it was defaulting the apps and not putting them back to personal preferences but Shane modified the program so it no longer did that.

I've run the program once out of curiosity and after the reboot I got about 11 pop ups to say various apps had been set to default.

Other than my default browser being set to IE and Adobe Reader for PDFs the rest were already at default - it hadn't changed the two that I'd changed.

The program basically works on system files, but Win 10 is a beast of its own with changes being made through updates.

What personal settings are you concerned about and which version of Windows are you using ?

ka6uup:
Windows 7
I have a lot of custom settings and the last time I used Windows Repair ( about a year ago It set all of them to defaults and I had to spend a lot of time setting everything back.

Boggin:
All I can suggest is to create a system image onto external media rather than relying upon the auto registry back up and then run the repair program - unchecking the repair boxes that don't apply to your version of Windows.

It has undergone a lot of changes since last year, I think mainly to keep up with the changes to Win 10.

Why do you need to run the program ?

ka6uup:
Mainly to get Internet Explorer to work.
I spent 2 days trying everything suggested on the net and nothing helped.
That includes running repair Internet Explorer in Windows repair
If I click it it may just not open, or it may open and then close or, it may open.
This is my last resort.
