Hi, I can't seem to get past this point:
10 - Remove Policies Set By Infections
Start (3/27/2019 3:02:54 PM)
Running Repair Under Current User Account
Running Repair Under System Account
It ran all weekend. Any suggestions on what to do next? Thank you.

The program cannot repair if the machine is infected.
I'd stop the program and run an antivirus scan with something like the free version of MBAM should your machine be infected.

Which antivirus program do you use ?

Thank you for your reply. Malwarebytes & SFC are both clean. I use Avast as my antivirus. I believe the problem stems from some registry keys that cannot be written to. I have tried changing the permissions on them (using take ownership utilities as well) to no avail.
The BFE & SharedAccess keys are both locked in a way that I am unable to change the permissions. I am an admin on my machine running Windows 10 on a domain.
Frustrating. . .

Because Windows Repair causes problems with the Apps on my Win 10, whenever I have any problems I tend to perform a repair install which doesn't affect personal stuff or installed programs.
You need Win 10 install media which you can create after reading the instructions at https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
When you have done that, open Windows/File Explorer - This PC - insert the install media and double click on its drive.
This will start the process when using a DVD but will open to its files when using an USB where you would then double click on setup Application.
This takes 3½ - 4hrs on mine.

I did try the repair install, but it didn't fix it. Thanks.

That's bad news.
Can you try the latest version of the repair program to see if it still hangs on that repair - I assume you are running the program in Safe Mode with Networking ?
