Win 8.1 does not remember last user after reboot - [Solved]

<< < (4/21) > >>

Boggin:
Have you performed the dism /restorehealth and sfc /scannow cmds yet to see if they resolve ?

JohnCoool:
Yes there is a safer way of doing things. However, I am not too worried because I occasionally take image backup of my drive just in case the disk totally fails.

The solution that I used to solve the issue was to just click on restore registry. I tried the same solution from Wondershare Live boot but did not work as it gave an error. But from Hiren-Boot it gave successfully restored.

As for changing services from settings. You will just need to locate them in the registry (I found them on internet. different for each O/S) then use 0-4 depending on what you need. the values are explained here: https://www.digitalwelt.org/en/tips/software/disable-services-state-through-regedit

I tried the clean boot 2 more times while changing some settings and failed again. This means there is a bigger issue than I expected.

I found a tool a few months ago that repairs the corrupted files because the DISM solution does not work on older systems like Win7. This tool can work on other newer O/S as well (Just needs to be run a few times and it works very quickly). Found here: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/downloads/sfcfix/

I will be trying the DISM solution as a last resort (The reason is that it will be changing back some of features that I need that were created by a patch that I installed). I am now try to find the source of the issue.

Boggin:
I think it will need the dism /restorehealth to fix that clean boot problem.

Does Event Viewer record anything for when it fails ?

Yes, I've used SFCFix.exe on my Win 7 as well as advising its use for other Win 7 users.

However, it didn't always fix so I then referred them to www.sysnative.com forum.

JohnCoool:
That tool worked well for me on all the problems I had before. You have to run it over and over until it removes all the errors.

I used the DISM method a few years ago and it worked well but not today.

I could not find a proper solution and I ran it and then I restarted but no changes. I just ran SFC /verifyonly and it found corrupt files. I have a security program that is  probably locking some files. I will try to unlock and test again.

Boggin:
Run another sfc /scannow and when it reports it is unable to repair all, copy & paste this cmd to the prompt -

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log > %userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt

This will put an icon onto the desktop which when double clicked will show what it has and can't repair.

Which security program do you think is locking those files ?
