General Computer Support / Re: Boot issues after a failed Windows 10 update
« on: November 16, 2020, 11:22:18 am »
I have Windows version 1909 and all the updates provided updates to that version. 

Did what you recommended and downloaded the software you recommended, created a USB flash drive and I got it to boot into windows normally.  All power shell commands you recommended were completed and no errors were found (sfc /scannow).

OK - the cable guy just left.  I rebooted without the USB drive and all is well in Herrmann land.  Thanks for the advice, as you were spot on.

General Computer Support / Boot issues after a failed Windows 10 update
« on: November 15, 2020, 10:29:34 am »
Hello all...

Well, now where do I begin here.  OK - after a failed Windows 10 update of the most recent release (I have version 1909), I have been unable to reboot my system - regardless of what I've tried.

During the Windows 10 update process, after rebooting and going through the normal motions and where the screen is blue and a percentage indicator shows the percentage of completion, eventually I got the notation "reversing all changes that have been made by the failed update" (or something to that effect).  OK, I thought - no big deal as I've had some failed Windows 10 updates in the past.

When it then rebooted, I was never able to get back into the system.  Even did a system restore from a few days before - all to no avail.

After a half dozen reboots, I did manage to get into Safe Mode with networking (where I'm at now as I type this).

I even (after two days of trying), resigned myself to do a complete Windows 10 restore, knowing I'd lose the programs I have installed.  I have a Lenovo desktop PC and it has the Windows 10 reinstall file on a separate (hidden) partition on my main drive.  Problem is that this didn't work either as I got the message that a reinstall was impossible.

So now that brings me to the question and possible suggestion regarding an additional feature on the Tweaking Windows Repair software.  Is there a possible way to add a feature that can repair Windows boot options such as identifying a register key, driver, or whatever - and then either being able to replace the missing files, or provide a link to where that particular file can be downloaded?  Simple question, I know - but I'm at the point where I'm asking all kinds of questions.

I have a new Windows 10 software disk coming in the mail, but it won't be here for another week.  I'd love to be able to save my system right now because I haver over 400 Gigs of installed programs and I dread the thought of having to reinstall of that software.

Any suggestions...?

Thanks,

Reinstalled it yesterday.  But I just downloaded and installed it again (v3.9.28) and now it functions.  Go figure.....

Thanks...

Hello...

I'm running Windows 10 Creator's Edition  - 64 Bit.  Never had any issues with Tweaking Windows Repair.  I[m a paid (registered) user of this software.  However, with this very latest update, the program will no longer launch.  I've tried everything - that is running as administrator, checking for compatibility mode - yet nothing works.  I even uninstalled it and reinstalled the latest version - all to no avail.  The program will not launch.  I'm an advanced user - not a novice - but this situation has me scratchin' my noggin for answers.

I noticed one or two other threads about this issue.  What could be the problem.  I even checked Windows Firewall and made sure to allow the program to pass through.  I'm running Avira 64 Bit Antivirus.

Thanks in advance...

Ben
