Thanks for being attentive.  I have abandoned all hope and am restoring from system image now.  Do you have any idea why my restore point wasn't created?  I am certain that I selected both backups.  It probably didn't matter though, as NONE of my restore points (I tried four) could be used successfully.  Two files were referenced (one per failure) in the various restore point attempts:  a .vpn file, and an .rdc file.  Both obviously connected to my Hyper-V/VM usage.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you.

The process did eventually finish (ca. 6hrs), and initially the results looked good -- start-up was quick.  However, some WMI configuration or objects needed for Hyper-V have disappeared; so my two VMs, which are at the core of my consulting business, are inaccessible.  I restored the registry, as you recommended, without any problems, but also without any improvement.

I have been trying to restore from a restore point all morning.  The one I requested to be made during the Windows Repair process is nowhere to be found, and Windows has had trouble with the two previous restore points I have selected.  It's working on the third one now.

Do you have any recommendations for me on the Hyper V problems?  I have been down nearly 24 hours.

Thank you

... forgot to mention Windows 10 Pro -- all updates in place.

Thanks

I have a fairly capable, fairly new machine -- Lenovo W540.  I was hoping to diagnose an issue where the machine is slow for five minutes after a cold start.  The suite of repairs has been running (In Safe mode, Proper power reset done first) for 2 hours and ten minutes, and it's in step 2 of 43.  Is this normal?  I don't see posts about it.  It does seem to be moving along, but I'm concerned I may die before it completes.  How long should I expect it to run?  Guesses?
