Thank you for Windows Repair and Drive Speedometer!!!

(1/3) > >>

Bubba Euler:
Shane, I want to tell you that the latest version of Windows Repair portable has seemingly solved a perplexing problem with Windows System Restore.  (Win 7 HP x64 SP1)  After much research, I was left with no definitive answer from M$.  I was instructed that a Repair Install would likely solve the problem: 90 - 100% HDD access to/from System Volume Information file, constantly!

I downloaded and ran the portable version of Windows Repair (v 1.9.0.4) and re-started System Restore and created a restore point.  Lo and behold, the System PID 4 is behaving itself.  Woo-Hoo. 

I trust that I'm not jinxing myself by bragging to you.  Wonderful program...OH! and let me thank you for the Drive Speedometer.  I keep in on screen and it is so reassuring to know what's going on in HDD land.

Have a good weekend and a wonderful new year.  It can't get too much worse. [/sarcasm off]

Did you run my beta system restore repair?

Bubba Euler:
No I haven't, as yet.  I can't find it on Tweaking's Program list or on PcWinTech's lists. 

Oh, by the way, about 1/2 an hour after I sent the original message "bragging" about my success, the HDD began banging away, again, with almost constant access to the System Volume Information file(s).  Sometimes is "background" and sometimes it's "normal". 

Is there a special section for Beta testing which I haven't found?

Thanks again!!

@Bubba Euler:

in WR v1.9.4, in the main repair screen there's a button called "Beta Repairs". Under that button the Beta version of "Repair System Restore" is "hiding".

Did you use "Create System Restore Point" only (see your first post) or did you tick one or more boxes as well ? And which box(es) did you tick ? Can you give more details ?

Bubba Euler:
Well, I found and ran the Beta System Restore repair on the 1.9.4. version of Windows Repair.  It did no harm!  Ha!!!

I then turned System Restore back on and created a Restore Point, which it told me was performed properly.  I then started resmon.exe and watched System  PID 4 and again the same symptoms:

15 seconds of bursts of R/W showing ~10 to 13 MB/s, each.
These bursts cause between 96 and 100 % of Disc Usage (time)
After that, there is a wait time of between 35 to 45 seconds.  HDD R/W Speed shows less than 1 MB/s, and Disc Usage (time) is less than 10 % peaks.

It did not used to be this way.  I sure don't want to do a Windows Repair Install.  I wish I could afford the ReImage tool I found.
