MSN news app broken

<< < (4/5) > >>

Noddy:
The "fix" I was referring to in my initial post was the powershell command referred to below in your reply. I had already run the Windows repair and as noted it hung for 19 hours before I stopped the repair program and retried it without the 08 MDAC MS/JET repair item ticked. I retried the Win 10 repair install and it failed a second time with no error code or explanation. Thanks for the link, I will try that.


"Have you tried running the Windows Apps troubleshooter - go Start - Settings cog - Update & Security - Troubleshoot then scroll down to and click on Windows Apps.

There is a powershell cmd you can try which has been found to work - but not always.

Open a Powershell (Admin) or go Start - type powershell then press CTRL+SHIFT+Enter - accept the UAC then copy & paste this cmd to the prompt and press enter -

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Enter exit to close the cmd window and try the app again."

So to clarify, did WR cause your App problems ?

Can you try the repair install again with your antivirus program disabled but first check that all of your drivers are up to date.

I normally do that via Device Manger/View/Show hidden devices and then I can check to see if there are any yellow alerts.

Can you remember how far the repair install got before it failed ?

Noddy:
All of my drivers are up to date. The Windows repair seems to have been the cause of my Microsoft news and money failing to open. I was also getting problems with the default apps as well. I used the link you provided in the last post for the corrected version of Windows repair (Windows Repair v4.0.22), which, by the way, takes me to a site where the latest Windows repair is shown as: Windows Repair v4.0.23. I selected the Windows Repair v4.0.22 to download, per the Tweaking.com's notice, is that correct? After installing that version, I still get the hang up at 08 Repair MDAC MS/JET registering 132 files. I believe that I tried turning off my antivirus while doing this on Saturday and it made no difference. At this point, I have spent most of my weekend trying to resolve this, so I am taking a break until Monday.

Boggin:
You should have used the download for the latest version in the FileHippo website - that would have given you 4.0.23

Before you do that, you can revert the changes 4.0.22 made by opening the program in Safe Mode with Networking and use the Backup Tools tab to select Restore under Registry Backup.

In the next window click on Restore Registry then use the dropdown to select the back up date that was made when you first ran the repair program, as the program creates a back up each time you run the repairs - then hit Restore Now.

As the program caused these problems, what was the original reason you ran the repair program.

Did the repair install go all the way through before failing or did you get the fail following one of the restarts ?

If the program's registry restore resolves the MSN and Money problems, try the repair install again.

Noddy:
According to your website, 4.0.23 was the version that caused the problem in the first place and showed v4.0.22 as the fix. It seems that your webmaster needs to get on the ball, and your post did not specify which version to use, so in the absence of any other instructions I went with what was advised on the main page. The reason I downloaded Windows repair was because ever since upgrading from Win 7, I have had issues with backups failing and some other Windows functions not working properly. I had hoped that Windows repair would fix them in light of the good reviews I read about the program. The Win 10 repair install completed installation both times before the "installation failed" message popped up with no error codes. I don't recall any restarts. At the moment I am considering just doing a clean installation of Win 10 on my ssd drive since it's about time for a housecleaning anyway.
