Tile database is corrupt

<< < (2/5) > >>

Boggin:
You have to keep an eye open for unwanted bundled programs but these days it seems to be the norm to bundle them anyway without any option to uncheck a box and I've seen iTunes being reported as the cause of problems for quite a few.

A Google on your error brought up quite a few links with Fix in the title.

While I haven't read them all, this method worked for the guy who posted it - https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/125068-how-to-fix-your-windows-10-start-menu-reset-tile-database

I've never had any problem booting up after a repair install, but hopefully that article will negate the need for a repair install.

I noticed one of the links had someone experience this problem after a clean install, so a repair install may or not resolve.

Somera:
Here's a link to the MS forum that pointed me to try Tweaking.com

While I haven't got to the end of that thread, I noticed that someone had already tried what is in that article I've posted and it didn't work.

The post that suggested Tweaking.com's repair program was dated Feb. this year.

There have been a couple of updates since then so it may be worth trying one or two of the earlier versions, although I can't remember which it was back then.

You can get the earlier versions from - https://filehippo.com/download_tweaking-com-windows-repair/

The Mod on that forum who removed the name of the program obviously isn't aware that it has been known for MS techs to have used the repair program when they were stuck.

Boggin:
Just been looking at the home page and 4.0.13 was the version at the time of that Feb. post.

Depending upon when the program was used, it could also have been 4.0.12

Somera:
Thanks!  I can try running the old version.  One Q - should I install the older version over the new, or do a full uninstall first?
I may be able to try this in the next day or two, but if not, it'll be another week or so as I'm traveling away from home.

Also to be sure, I am running it in Windows Safe Mode, as is recommended, correct?
