MSN news app broken
Noddy:
I tried it in safe mode and nothing changed, Microsoft news and money open for a split second, then close with no messages. I should also mention that my default apps seem to be occasionally undefaulting, and I have to select them again as default apps. I am assuming that this may be connected with the other issue with Microsoft news and money and the 08 MDAC MS/Jet repair failure.
Boggin:
Perhaps a repair install may resolve this.
A repair install doesn't affect your personal stuff or 3rd party installed programs and may/not default any apps that have been changed.
When I've performed this, IE has still remained my default browser, but on a couple of occasions it has removed it from my taskbar.
To do this you'll need Win 10 install media - either a DVD or USB which you can create after reading the instructions at https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
When you've done that, open Windows Explorer - click on This PC - insert the install media and double click on its drive.
This will start the process when using a DVD but will open to its files when using an USB where you would then double click on setup Application.
This takes about 3½hrs on mine and produces a Windows.old folder of about 20GB.
I normally run Disk Cleanup after to get rid of this and as I'm using a HDD, will follow that with a defrag.
After you have run Disk Cleanup and it shows you what you can delete, click on Clean system files which will give you the option to remove the Windows.old folder.

I think you may be right. I am also having problems with Rome II crashing while loading, and it started the same day I ran the repair program. I will try the repair instal and let you know how it goes.
Noddy:
Well, things have been going from bad to worse. The Win 10 repair install failed and while I see that a new version of Windows repair appears to be available, when I click on the link for it, I am taken to a page where the last update seems to be 7/12/18 not 7/20/18 and the version I download is the same version that caused the problem and still hangs at 08 MDAC MS/JET: registering 132 files. Can you give me the link for the latest version if there is one please? I tried to update the version.23 but it says it is the latest version while your website shows the newest version as .22, but links back to .s3. I am confused and despairing of getting this fixed without having to format my drive. See below for a paste of your main screen.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair v4.0.22 Released.
https://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html (This link takes you to version v4.0.23 download)
v4.0.22
Fixed major bug where repair windows updates would break the app store and windows updates.
This was due to a change MS made to the services and the program was putting old entries back, this has been corrected and updated.
If you ran WR and it broke windows updates just run this version and choose repair windows updates and it will fix it :-)
Boggin:
Yes, I've reported the change in the home page to my Support but haven't had a reply yet.
You can download the latest version from https://filehippo.com/download_tweaking-com-windows-repair/
I find your last post confusing as your opening post infers that you had the MSN and Money problem before you ran Windows Repair and that you ran the program in an attempt to fix it.
Can you explain more how the repair install failed ?
