Windows Repair tool don't run

<< < (2/2)

Boggin:
Can you boot up with the install media usually by tapping F12 as you switch on then use the cursor keys to select the media you are using - insert the media and press enter.

Navigate to the Install screen and select Repair your computer/Troubleshoot and select Command Prompt.

At the prompt enter bcdedit |find "osdevice"

For clarity that is a Pipe symbol before find and is the uppercase of \

Using your partition letter instead of the X I have exampled, enter these cmds -

dism /image:X:\ /cleanup-image /restorehealth

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=X:\ /offwindir=X:\Windows

Enter exit to close the cmd window, remove the install media and reboot to see if there is any change.

You may be able to perform the repair install now.

If you still get the Access Denied problem then download the Windows Repair program from - www.tweaking.com and use it to boot into Safe Mode with Networking.

You can click on your WiFi icon if it works then click on your SSID and then on Connect, left click away to close the pane, otherwise you will need to Ethernet connect.

Open the repair program in that mode and select just the first five repairs which may be already default checked.

Reboot when done to see if you still get the Access Denied error when you double click on setup.

Let me know how you get on.

Hi again,

I did everything but it said access denied to run setup.exe. Also, the repair tool just check files but doesn't show up. I don't have internet for some reason (eth connected).

Thank you.

Jose4589:
Update: I got the tool working and I have run first 5 steps. However, it doesn't fix anything.

Boggin:
Do you have an Internet connection in normal mode - wireless or Ethernet ?

If you have, can you download the registry hack just before section 5 in this article and then try the setup.exe again.

There are other suggestions in this article if that doesn't work.

Did the sfc /scannow cmd in that mode report anything when it completed ?

I wouldn't expect the dism /restorehealth cmd to report anything other than successfully completed unless it found something it could fix.

EDIT - Just read your latest post - try the registry hack and then see if you can run the setup.exe to perform a repair install.

Boggin:
If none of those suggestions resolves then all I can suggest is a Reset.

Press and hold SHIFT throughout a restart and select Reset.

It has an option to retain your personal files, although it may be worth backing those up.

This is the next best option to a clean install but you will still need to reinstall all of your programs so it would be best to make a note of any product keys should you have any paid for programs.
