Feedback & Suggestions / Lifetime license?

« on: May 01, 2023, 06:08:39 am »

I am happy to support, It look like I have a lifetime license on this PC, this is no longer offered?

Would be nice to see something a bit better than $25 a year. ($24.99 lol)

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Restore Default User folders?

« on: April 15, 2020, 03:21:10 pm »

Somehow the the default downloads folder is missing in Windows File Explorer. I can see it if I use my other file manager Total Commander.

all my data and downloads are there, just not as far as Windows is concerned.

Should I run common repairs?

I have a picture of the user_shell_folder registry and it has *two* download folders listed. Not sure the easiest way to post a picture here.

Thanks

This is windows 8 on my friend's laptop in Thailand.

been working on it for 3 nights now.

SFC /scannow stays 20 minutes at "beginning of verification phase... verification 100%" and just flashes and disappears.

I can run some programs, but hard to open folders or type. doing this remotely, or I would just format and reinstall.

can I run a command prompt from tweaking.com windows repair? I have the Pro version.

wonder if maybe stuck keyboard key? couldn't embed a video here is the link:

using Pro 4.0.15

3 PCs all Windows 10 Home 1709

network worked more or less, for some reason PC1 was not seen by PC2 at all, so I ran "Network Repair in Safe mode on PC1, now PC1 sees nothing at all.

I use usernames and passwords and SMBv1 client and server are installed on both machines.

I double checked all the sharing options and everything is correct.
