Hi Everyone,

Apologies for the long silence here, that's on us.

To answer the actual question: registration has been closed while we dealt with a persistent spam problem, which was solved.
In the meantime, this board is being monitored again. Anything posted here will get a response.

Thanks for keeping an eye on the place.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Re: Cleaning Memory Before Starting Repairs FAILS

Hi radar,

Sorry for the slow response here.

That message means the repair process couldn't launch its child process - it's almost always something holding a lock rather than a fault in the repair itself. A few things to check:

• Run from an account with full admin rights ? right-click the shortcut, Run as administrator, even in Safe Mode.
• Safe Mode with Networking vs. plain Safe Mode ? try plain Safe Mode if you haven't; some services still load in the Networking variant.
• Security software ? if you have an AV or EDR agent with a boot-time driver, it can still be active in Safe Mode and block the repair launcher. Temporarily disabling it is the usual fix.
• Run the repairs one at a time rather than as a full set. That will tell us which specific repair is failing to start, which narrows this down a lot.

If you can post which Windows build you're on (winver) and the result of running a single repair on its own, I'll take it from there.
