Hi Phil - I think I'm still listed as a moderator so could continue in that role.
However, the forum seems to be dormant.

Hi Phil.
Shane banned me for a short while and then reinstated me.
I sometimes monitor the forum without coming on but felt I needed to interccede this time around.

You can also repair Windows by running a sfc /scannow cmd from a Commamnd prompt run as an administrator.

I also no longer use Windows Repair as it also caused problems with my Windows 11.

Windows has its own repairs.
Open a command prompt and run as an administrator then enter these cmds -
dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
sfc /scannow
then reboot and check.

General Computer Support / Re: which do I prefer company or assembled windows 10 pro system.
« on: October 14, 2022, 02:10:06 am »
The safest way to protect from a computer failure is to create a system image onto either DVDs or an external HDD and the means to recover from them.
I use an external HDD and use the free version of Macrium Reflect to recover with should I ever need it.
For DVDs you would create a System Recovery disk which you can do from within Windows.
This is a bootable disk.

Some years ago I was on an electronics course and there was a guy on it who decided to build his own computer.
.
When he was done, he found that a pre-built one would have been fractionally cheaper.
Fair enough, you may not be able to find one with the same specs as you want but the manufactures seem to know what they are doing.
It could be a case of shopping around until you find one with specs you would be happy with and compare the price of that with the cost of building your own.
Some years ago my brother built his own pc - not for financial reasons but just for the fun of doing it.
He'd been into electronics when he served in the RAF.

I'd forgotten about the Crucial Scanner - memory not the best these days.
I ran it on my newish HP laptop and I got the same message as you in that it couldn't find my system.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Re: Win 7 Msg Privileges after PSU failure. Tweaking doesn't work
« on: September 21, 2022, 01:26:44 am »
Can you boot up with your install disk, select Repair your computer and navigate to the Command Prompt and enter these cmds -
bcdedit |find "osdevice" then using your partition letter instead of the X I have exampled, enter this cmd -
For clarity that is a Pipe symbol before find and is the upper case of \
sfc /scannow /offbootdir=X:\ /offwindir=X:\Windows
When complete, remove the install disk and reboot.
Go Start - type cmd - right click on cmd and select Run as administrator and enter sfc /scannow
That should hopefully report no integrity violations but let me know if it reports anything different.
You may need to perform another repair install if things still don't work.

Registry compression is but not necessary optional in both Win 10 and 11.
I use the free version of CCleaner to keep my registry trim and use it after updates and each session.

If you haven't made a note of the product key then in Frequently Asked Questions you will find under had tey -
Enter the email address used to purchase the program at https://resend.tweaking.com.
I think if you had reinstalled it on top of your existing install it would have recognized you had the Pro version.

Can you try reinstalling the program to check if that resolves and if not, see if you can access the program after booting into Safe Mode with Networking.
