I now restarted the program under my login and didn't restart in save mode.

But I also activated the Administrator Account, because yes is the default. If i issue the command without :yes or :no.

Code: [Select]

PS C:\Windows\system32> net user Administrator|findstr "Konto aktiv" ("Account active") shows that.

Code: [Select]

So everything is fine now. The culprit was, that the admin account wasn't activated, I guess, though I'm not sure. Maybe, the culprit was the save mode and starting the program with admin rights. Thank you!

Hi, thank you Tom for your kind reply.

I'm rather worrying abeout the missing(?) ntuser.dat. I think, it might be missing because the admin account isn't activated. I don't know exactly how I can tell that with a simple cmd on the console.

Tweaking Windows Repair 4.70 Registry Backup results in 16/17 files backed up. All registry files but the ntuser.dat of the administrator.

Regarding the Reparse files (symlinks), I had a mimetype_icons of the faenza_icon_theme in the download folder, and 7zipped that, because that came with thousands of symlinks.

Hello,

I'm trying to fix some things with Windows Repair, as mentioned in the subject. I'm on Windows 10.0.18363 64bit.

Unfortunately I had some trouble on ReparsePoints, and now I'm not able to create flawlessy a Registry Backup.

Code: [Select]

[22.11.2019 - 18:15:31] Result: Failed - Error: -1 (API Reg Save Failed (), Tried File Copy, File In use, Cannot copy.)
I also had to use the Fallback method, even I'm able to run vssadmin in powershell, and I deleted older VSS Snapshots successfully. I also started the VSS service.

Here are the errors without the fall back method:

I also tried to see, if the Admin account is activated, I doubt that.

I'm not sure, but I think that, if the admin account is not "active", that means, there is not yet an admin account with a ntuser.dat on the system, or is that a defect?

If that's not a defect, I can safely omit or ignor the errors, am I right?

Thank you in advance!
