Stuck on Repair MDAC/MS Jet for 8 hours
Boggin:
They weren't all ebay outlets that I saw, but you still don't know who to trust.
When I feel things aren't right with my Win 10 I usually do a repair install.
The MCT has the latest version if you don't have an up to date install disk/USB. - https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
mingus:
yes, the in-place repair install is the way to go. on this PC it fails while creating the USB media for some reason.
trying to make an ISO now.
I suppose I could just mount the ISO and install from there?
Boggin:
Have you checked Event Viewer to see if anything has been recorded for that ?
I think my brother found that a 4GB USB wasn't big enough for 1803 - not sure if it is compressed for the disk creation.
I've stuck my 1803 on a spare 16GB USB - a waste I know, but it was the only one available when I found my CD/DVD drive had given up the ghost.
mingus:
I ended up downloading the ISO file and mounting it to do the repair install and get this - that didn't fix the office issue! How can that be?
Needed it anyway I guess after infection.

The repair install is system file related and not program file related.
It could be just down to compatibility issues that you have the same problem.
To determine if it is Office that is holding up the MDAC/MS Jet repair, create a system image onto external media, uninstall Office and then run the Windows Repair program again to see if it still hangs on that repair.
What problems were you having with Office and did its repair resolve those ?
If it's working okay and nothing else seems to be wrong with the machine, then you could just ignore running the WR program and get back on with life.
