According to your website, 4.0.23 was the version that caused the problem in the first place and showed v4.0.22 as the fix. It seems that your webmaster needs to get on the ball, and your post did not specify which version to use, so in the absence of any other instructions I went with what was advised on the main page. The reason I downloaded Windows repair was because ever since upgrading from Win 7, I have had issues with backups failing and some other Windows functions not working properly. I had hoped that Windows repair would fix them in light of the good reviews I read about the program. The Win 10 repair install completed installation both times before the "installation failed" message popped up with no error codes. I don't recall any restarts. At the moment I am considering just doing a clean installation of Win 10 on my ssd drive since it's about time for a housecleaning anyway.

All of my drivers are up to date. The Windows repair seems to have been the cause of my Microsoft news and money failing to open. I was also getting problems with the default apps as well. I used the link you provided in the last post for the corrected version of Windows repair (Windows Repair v4.0.22), which, by the way, takes me to a site where the latest Windows repair is shown as: Windows Repair v4.0.23. I selected the Windows Repair v4.0.22 to download, per the Tweaking.com's notice, is that correct? After installing that version, I still get the hang up at 08 Repair MDAC MS/JET registering 132 files. I believe that I tried turning off my antivirus while doing this on Saturday and it made no difference. At this point, I have spent most of my weekend trying to resolve this, so I am taking a break until Monday.

The "fix" I was referring to in my initial post was the powershell command referred to below in your reply. I had already run the Windows repair and as noted it hung for 19 hours before I stopped the repair program and retried it without the 08 MDAC MS/JET repair item ticked. I retried the Win 10 repair install and it failed a second time with no error code or explanation. Thanks for the link, I will try that.

"Have you tried running the Windows Apps troubleshooter - go Start - Settings cog - Update & Security - Troubleshoot then scroll down to and click on Windows Apps.

There is a powershell cmd you can try which has been found to work - but not always.

Open a Powershell (Admin) or go Start - type powershell then press CTRL+SHIFT+Enter - accept the UAC then copy & paste this cmd to the prompt and press enter -

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Enter exit to close the cmd window and try the app again."

Well, things have been going from bad to worse. The Win 10 repair install failed and while I see that a new version of Windows repair appears to be available, when I click on the link for it, I am taken to a page where the last update seems to be 7/12/18 not 7/20/18 and the version I download is the same version that caused the problem and still hangs at 08 MDAC MS/JET: registering 132 files. Can you give me the link for the latest version if there is one please? I tried to update the version.23 but it says it is the latest version while your website shows the newest version as .22, but links back to .s3. I am confused and despairing of getting this fixed without having to format my drive. See below for a paste of your main screen.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair v4.0.22 Released.
https://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html (This link takes you to version v4.0.23 download)

v4.0.22
Fixed major bug where repair windows updates would break the app store and windows updates.
This was due to a change MS made to the services and the program was putting old entries back, this has been corrected and updated.
If you ran WR and it broke windows updates just run this version and choose repair windows updates and it will fix it

I think you may be right. I am also having problems with Rome II crashing while loading, and it started the same day I ran the repair program. I will try the repair instal and let you know how it goes.

I tried it in safe mode and nothing changed, Microsoft news and money open for a split second, then close with no messages. I should also mention that my default apps seem to be occasionally undefaulting, and I have to select them again as default apps. I am assuming that this may be connected with the other issue with Microsoft news and money and the 08 MDAC MS/Jet repair failure.

Yes, I did run the Get-AppXPackage cmd. Below shows the results of that. I do see the change in the start window search that indicates that Cortana is disabled. I am still seeing the 08 MDAC MS/JET Repair freeze too.

I downloaded and ran the disable Cortana zip, but it is still running on my PC and it just reappears when I close it in task manager. I also ran the App troubleshooter, but it did not fix the problem with Microsoft news or money apps which still close as soon as they are opened. I attached the results from the Add app for reference. I haven't re run the 08 repair MDAC MS/JET, but suspect it hasn't changed. I will post after I have rebooted and tried it.

Thank you very much for the quick response. I will retry the process with Cortana and Sticky notes disabled and let you know how it goes.

I tried this fix because I have the same problem with Microsoft news and Microsoft Money opening then closing immediately. I am also having problems with Repair 08 MDAC MS/JET failing and am wondering if these issues may be related? When I ran all repairs, 08 repair MDAC MS/JET ran for 19 hours, so I unchecked that one and everthing else ran okay. I went back and ran just 08 and get a failure message (see attached). I just joined and apologize if I am not doing this correctly. By the way, the fix you suggested doesn't work for me; I get a failure when installing the package because sticky notes, Cortana, etc were in use, so should I be doing this in safe mode?

Thanks.
