Win 8.1 does not remember last user after reboot - [Solved]
JohnCoool:
Thanks for the tip on creating the CBS file on Desktop but I don't need it. I know where to find it and always check it. I sent the info yesterday on the string from that report.
I thought it is Ask Admin.
I did run SFC /scannow now, about 2 times after DISM but still no luck. The same files that were corrupted yesterday are still showing as corrupted today.
Your DISM command did not work. I had to use one with online.
Is there a way to perform it without being logged into windows? Like from Hiren-Boot or another one?
I think last time I downloaded Win8.1 and used it as an image reference. But I do not remember the code for that... On DISM.
Boggin:
There are two dism cmds - one from within Windows which is dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth and one done after booting up with install media, which is dism /image:x:\ /cleanup-image /restorehealth
There is an offline version but you still need to be booted into Windows using an ISO - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/repair-a-windows-image
As the dism /restorehealth has failed to resolve the clean boot problem, then perhaps it's time to see if a repair install will resolve, unless Event Viewer gave you some clues as to what is failing.
I don't know which code you are referring to as the Win 8.1 ISO download failed to verify on my Win 10 machine, so I assume it has to be downloaded onto a Win 8.1 machine.
You haven't said which security program it is which you think could be locking files.
Using two antivirus programs and each having their own firewall will cause anomalous problems.
JohnCoool:
I only have one Antivirus program which is AVG.
I did mention the program. it is called Ask Admin. It locks the windows store which showed up as corrupted.
I am little confused with your explanation about how to use to DISM.
Please clarify as much as possible methods for me to try before trying other methods. I am considering a way to be done without being logged having windows active so that it can overwrite any file it needs to while referring to another image of WIN so that it will be clean.
The one you are mentioning is not working "dism /image:x:\ /cleanup-image /restorehealth"
Boggin:
In which way is it not working ?
That cmd will only perform after you have booted up with install media and selected Repair your computer on the Install screen.
JohnCoool:
Oh ok,
So then it will do the clean up without being logged in. That is perfect.
I did it online. Which is done while being logged in into windows.
Then I will do it and create it on USB and then test it.
I will download Win 8.1 ISO from a torrent site for this operation.
I will wait for your feedback before commencing.
