Windows Repair Stuck on Repair Job 8
Boggin:
Well I've run 4.0.12 on my Win 10 laptops and it completed as normal - I haven't tried 4.0.13 on those yet.
I don't have any MS programs installed except Word Viewer.
There is a repair for Win 10 and I do it when I feel mine isn't performing as well as it should or something has gone awry.
It's called a Repair Install and doesn't affect your personal stuff or installed programs, but you need Win 10 install media to perform it which you can get by using the Download tool now button at https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 but read the instructions first as the procedure differs for a DVD and an USB.
If using a DVD then select Save for the ISO file download - it usually puts it into my Docs folder.
You will also need a burner to create the bootable disk - I use Windows USB/DVD tool. - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56485
To perform a repair install, open Windows Explorer - This PC - insert the install media and double click on its drive.
This should start the process if using a DVD but if using an USB, that will open to its files where you would then double click on setup or setup.exe Application.
I think it can take about 3hrs.
I have known it to remove the IE icon from my taskbar and revert the default browser back to Edge, but pressing the Windows key+r and typing iexplore.exe and pressing enter will open IE and then you can pin its icon back onto the taskbar.
It's best to check the default apps to see if it has reverted anything else - I use Windows Media Player and Adobe Reader - have to set those as default.

Thanks!
I repaired Office, like you suggested, and will give your program a 3rd Go at it, but I am going to download v.12 and try it instead of v.13.
Maybe Shane missed the MDAC thing in his v.13 build.
[Trying to sound like I actually know what I'm talking about: How'd I do?]
As odd as it might sound, after my chkdsk, et sec, that you recommended earlier today, everything appeared to be back to running fine.
I just thought I should run your program again to polish thing up, but then ran into the same Hang Up at 8, thus my request for assistance.
Let you know what happens with the v.12 scan.
Charles Emery Tooke III:
Tried a few "Searches" for v.12 and every website I was referred to only took me to v. 13
Do you not have previous versions available?
Boggin:
People were complaining about the same hang on Repair 08 on 4.0.12 so perhaps that may not be the best one to try.
You can get earlier versions from this website and more when you click on View more in the right pane - https://filehippo.com/download_tweaking-com-windows-repair/
As the machine appears to be okay then I'd create a system image before running any earlier versions of the program.
I always create a system image anyway before running the program rather than trusting to the registry back up the program creates prior to its repairs running.
I'll pass this on about the continued hang.
