Win 10 64 bit Running 'All Repairs' 18hrs and counting (SOLVED somehow?)
Dick Bailey:
Hi Boggin, I think we might be in different time zones hence delays. I'm in the UK, currently GMT or UT.
Taking your point in order:
Yes, I had updated all the drivers showing the warning triangle in Device Manager in just exactly the way you said, even though their properties said they were working OK. In each case the only driver I was offered to select was the one already installed, I selected those and they still said they were working ok but still showed the triangle. I also tried uninstalling them and re installing them, same result.
I did try to resolve the BSOD but the vague advice didn't help as all the drivers said they were working properly, and still said so after I'd gone through the updated and uninstall/reinstall mentioned above. Its was because I didn't know what to do next that I went for the MCT approach.
I tried MCT from within Windows and got the errors listed previously. I also tried the option of running MCT from a USB stick, but it just stopped with the message that I should run MCT from within Windows.
As I noticed one of the errors in the MCT error log gave the code 0x80070940 I search for help on that and thats how I found the YouTube by BriTec09 'Fix Windows Update Error 0X80070940' and went through all his steps after which he finally said if it still isn't fixed try Tweaking.com's Windows Repair (all in one).
I also did a chkdsk /scan and chkdsk /f which did find some corruption on the HDD.
I noticed at some stage in running through all those steps I lost a number of Desktop shortcuts, so somethings changed, I'm hoping nothing to critical like my Apps, but I need to sort the basic OS first.
I'm pretty sure I haven't got any malware as I've had a copy of Malwarebytes Premium installed for a couple of years. I did uninstall it and McAfee a couple days ago to ensure that they weren't interfering with MCT.
I was able to uninstall and reinstall FPWPP.DLL with no issues as you suggested so I dont know why Tweak repair task '04 - Register System Files' was hanging.
So I just switched back from from Safe Mode without Network over to Normal Mode with Network so i can down load Malwarebytes Premium to double check that there is no Malware. I also thought I'd switch on Windows defender in the absence of McAfee (I can reload that latter).
D'oh. Now Windows Defender's broken and won't start even after a reboot.
This is getting frustrating.
As some things have changed i.e. missing desktop shortcuts, HDD tidied up and Tweak did run all but two of the Repairs, 'to hell with it', I think I'll have one more go with MCT I might get lucky. cant do any harm if it just 'tidies up and closes' again.
I'll let you know BTW thanks for you help so far. (Where in the world are you?)
Dick Bailey:
:smiley: Ahhh IT'S WORKING ... WHHAAT THE F*#~ :cheesy: :cheesy: :wink: INSTALLING 36% COMPLETE
Update shortly, ... how did that happen???
Boggin:
I'm also in the UK but I'm not on here 24/7
Someone else has reported WD not working after running the repair program.
What exactly is installing ?
Dick Bailey:
Hi Boggin,
As I said I switch from Safe mode without Network to Normal Mode with Network so I could download and reinstall Malwarebytes to run the check you asked me to but as I was going on to the network I decided it'd be best to switch WD on as I had also uninstalled McAfee as i previously mentioned. Thats when i found WD would not restart.
As I said, as I was in normal mode with Network and at the desktop I though I just try MediaCreationTool from once more, at worst it'd just fail again, but I had run a number of the Tweak repairs, ... so there was a chance it would!
And Hey Presto after all those previous failed attempts, that bombed out after creating the media, and just said "Tidying up before closing", this time it moved on to the installation stage and has now successfully reinstalled Windows. Windows defender is also now working ok.
I've still got those triangles on the same drivers in Device Manager that I had before (see list in previous post) but they all report "This device is working properly", so I'll accept that for now.
I'll reload Malwarebytes Premium and McAfee, and use it for a while to hope the BSOD has been cured. With the fresh install I'm hoping it has, but I'll probably never know the actual cause or what steps cured it as I tried so many.
Thanks Boggin for your help and support, and thanks Tweak.com for the 'All Repairs' which almost all ran.
The only suggestion I can offer to anyone in the same situation is don't give up, persevere. :wink: :smiley:
Boggin:
You can still download programs in Safe Mode with Networking, but it's a puzzler what is causing those yellow alerts on those drivers.
