Tweaking.com Support & Help / UAC Icon Appearance after All In One Execution

« on: October 01, 2015, 11:22:50 am »

Last weekend "All-in-One" executed a task list with most of the methods enabled. 
Before executing it installed an update.  A test this morning shows it is current @ 3.5.0.1.

After the repairs completed and computer rebooted, many program icons displayed a Windows UAC (Use Account Control) icon badge.  That UAC badge was also given to the Repair_Windows.exe software.  It didn't have that designation before the repair.

A UAC badge honor is a promise to always ask the user: "Do you want the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer."

Moving the UAC setting to its lowest level stops UAC nagging.

Some of the programs with a UAC badge are the same but were installed in different folders.  Most of those duplicate program them don't have the UAC icon (See attached image).  Almost all the programs with a new UAC badge are installed on drive "D."

What might have happened during a repair that changed have how Windows viewed the same program, even with the same release to have more risk?

What can I do to remove the nagging without giving up on UAC protection?

General Computer Support / "All in one Windows Repair v3.2.2 (Pro Version) - Error Msg Confusion.

« on: June 22, 2015, 11:28:09 am »

There is still a strange Windows 7 Pro OS issue.

 Today's "Windows Repair 3.2.2" system file check generated this error message:
-------------------- Error Msg - START:
Administrator System File Check <-- NotePad Dialog Display

[SC] ChangeServiceConfig SUCCESS
D:\Program Files <x86>\Tweaking.com Windows Repair (All in One) "C:\WINDOWS\system32\sfc" /scannow
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
Please Restart Your Computer When System File Checker is Finished.
Press any key to continue . . .
-------------------- Error Msg - END:

In looking at the CBS.log it reports:
"All files and registry keys listed in this transaction  have been successfully repaired"

With one message indicating a problem exist and the message that all is well, I could use some guidance to understand the context of what each message is telling me.

Is that any chance I could pass along the CBS.log file for you to see if all is well, or not?

Thanks,
Roger...

General Computer Support / Program Updates Are Replaced with Earlier Files

« on: April 27, 2014, 04:14:39 pm »

For about the last 4-months I've found a series of problems on this computer.   Some time in January 2014 folder permissions got buggered up preventing access in some cases.  MS provided a Folder Repair plus a few other methods and some of the folder permission issues were solved.  Not all got fixed, but "Windows Repair" seems to have cleaned up the folders I've checked.

What hasn't been resolved is in how my daily data updating program can't be updated to a current release.  To get  new updated exe files I need to update the software on my laptop and then copy the changed files to this computer.  That works well, but it is clumsy and will only work as long as there aren't any registry changes involved.

When the same updating software is run on this program Windows forces the files back to a version that was released in early January.  This means that files that were copied to the disk from the laptop with dates in early April of this year get replaced with files released in January of this year.

File searches of this computer's disk to find those earlier files never locates the source of where those earlier file versions are hiding.

There are other issues like how the dialog that needs action and has focus doesn't always appear on top, but instead if most often hiding behind other windows.

If I could get either of these issues resolved it would bring Win-7 back to what it can be, and that would be a relief.
