Please add a very important repair function. (Tweaking Windows Repair Tool)
Boggin:
Well unless you explain what the error is then I can't pass it onto Shane.
BTW - it may not be an easy fix to add to the repair program - even if Shane is inclined to include it if there are fixes already out there.
Boggin:
Looking at the steps in this article to resolve \systemprofile\deskop\ error - I don't think they could be incorporated into the repair program.
https://www.easeus.com/storage-media-recovery/fix-desktop-refers-to-a-location-that-is-unavailable.html
Disregard about using EaseUs.
These steps cover Win 7 through to Win 10.
However, if you have any restore points that go back to before this error started occurring, boot into the advanced boot options - select Repair your computer then press enter to use the System Restore option.
If needed, check the box to show more restore points.
Angelika:
But no one anywhere has explained where this error comes from (very rary error).
I never have restore points because they are always deleted automatically.
What is the point of creating massive backups for an error that takes several kilobytes of data.
Boggin:
According to the below article, it can be caused either by a Windows Update or if the system has crashed.
The only update I get for my Win 7 now is for the Malicious Software Removal Tool.
See if any of these suggestions will resolve - https://www.minitool.com/backup-tips/system32-config-systemprofile-desktop-unavailable.html
Do you get this error every time you boot up - I think in one article I read, it advised checking that your HDD was correctly fitted.
A program called HDSentinel found serious errors on one of my HDDs when a chkdsk /r found none.
You can download this program at https://www.hdsentinel.com/hard_disk_sentinel_trial.php
This will give a written report on the status of your HDD.
Hit the Download link on the left side for the trial version which should work for 30 days.
I uninstall it when finished and then I can reinstall it from my Downloads folder when I want to use it again, so use the Save option on the download.
Boggin:
Auto deleted restore points in Win 7 was a known problem and can be resolved through the steps in this article - https://www.askvg.com/fix-windows-7-deletes-all-system-restore-points-upon-reboot/
On the rare occasions I need to use my restore points either in Win 7 or Win 10 I will boot up into the advanced boot options and access System Restore from there which negates interference from an antivirus program.
