Tweaking.com Support & Help / Repair Parse Points Added Shortcuts I Can't Access

« on: July 24, 2018, 05:00:39 pm »

I have three HDDs installed in my system. I try to keep my music, videos, and documents all on my HDD, I keep my user folder on my SSHD, and I keep my OS and Programs on my SSD. Today, I ran the Windows Repair tool just to see what the new update entailed but I didn't actually run the repairs. Instead, I just ran the scan in step 2, which is optional, just to see if there was anything wrong that I didn't notice. The scan came back and said that there were Missing Default Reparse Points, so I told the program to repair the reparse points. Now after running that, I notice a bunch of folders in my user folder that are named like this: My Documents -> [J] D:\Users\Knightmare\Documents. My HDD, which is where I want my documents, is E:\. I just want to know if this is going to cause the data to redirect to D:\ or if this is just some sort of shortcut to E:\. I just ran the scan again and it's coming back with more errors, even though it said that it fixed the errors when I ran the scan the first time.

General Computer Support / Taskbar Slow To Respond When Desktop Wakes

« on: July 04, 2014, 06:48:47 am »

I have my computer power settings on high performance and I'm using Windows 7. Whenever I "get off" my computer--whether it's to go to bed or work--I leave the computer on and let the display turn off. When I come back to the computer hours later, I jiggle the mouse to "wake" the monitor and the time in my taskbar reads a time a few hours behind the present. I have also noticed that I cannot click on any icons on the taskbar during this time. After a few seconds, the time updates and I can click on the icons.

Any ideas what could be causing this? Not sure if I should check something hardware related or software related.

General Computer Support / Cannot Troubleshoot Internet

« on: November 20, 2013, 06:35:52 pm »

I received the error in the attachment when trying to troubleshoot what was wrong with my internet. I'm using Windows 7 x64 SP1. I installed a TAP driver on a VM to test it and found an unknown device on my physical system. When I uninstalled the unknown device on the physical computer, that's when the problem started.

I tried deleted the VM and uninstalling the program but I still could not troubleshoot my connection. I did a clean boot but that didn't work either. I also reinstalled the VM with the same OS and settings to try and reproduce the unknown device on my physical computer, but now the driver will not install at all (on the VM nor on my physical computer).

I disabled and uninstalled my AV but the error still occurred. I ran sfc /scannow but it didn't find any errors. I've even registering all of the dll files in my system folders but that didn't work either.

I cannot do a system restore because I disabled it. I did this because I noticed when I installed Windows, my computer was very slow. After running many cleaning and antimalware tools, I--somehow--decided to try turning off my system restore, which made my computer faster in a matter of seconds.

I checked my environment variable and it LOOKS okay. I don't really look at it enough to know what it should look like; however, it seems to be normal.
