General Computer Support / after using Tweaking/Repair = permissions / delay connecting to internet

« on: December 22, 2017, 07:34:28 am »

Hello Tweeking,
unfortunately I have to ask for your help again. I useed Tweaking / Win Repair many times without a problem.
Now however - after running the repair in the ususal way without special tweaks and without changing anything in services...
(I'm not entirely sure if Tweaking is the cause for the problem though)

 - all programs ask now for permission befor they start - which is ok, but even CCleaner...? which it never did
 - THIS IS ESPECIALLY OF CONCERN SINCE My ANTI-VIRUS (WEBROOT) IS EFFECTED BY THIS AND DOES NOT
    START/CONNECT TO INTERNET AT STARTUP  and askes for permission as well - everytime

I'm getting errors 7000 = WRSVC (webroot service) unable to connect in timely fashion
                          7009 = Timeout of 30.000 milsec. for WRSVC trying to connect

I have to wait 30 or more seconds at login until connection is established = much longer boot time (usually 20 sec or so - now over a minute.

My machine is in top shape, all updated, Win score 7.7 (win7/64 bit/16GB Ram)

I talked to Webroot and uninstalled-reinstalled = no change

Thanks in advance

General Computer Support / Print Spooler Error

« on: July 14, 2017, 06:29:04 am »

Hi Guys,
I hope you can help me out as in the past - nobody else could.
All of a sudden I'm getting in event viewer:
Event ID 808 - The print spooler failed to load a plug-in module C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\3\UNIDRVUI.DLL, error code 0xc1. See the event user data for context information.
For your information: I un-installed and re-installed the printer, used HP Doctor and trouble shooter, which updated everything, followed various "solved" tips online ... nothing helps.

The printer works fine - just get these anoying Error events everytime I print something.

The printer is a cheap HP deskjet 1010, which runs on a 990c driver, since the original 1010 driver does not work in 64 bit (suggested as alternative by HP support at the time-now I'm out of free support)
All this worked fine without error events until now.
Machine is in top condition and everything uptodate, incl. tweaking.com treated.
Win7 - 64bit -16GB Ram - OCZ SSD for system - performance index: 7.7

Thanks in advance

General Computer Support / Task Scheduler - event 413

« on: February 21, 2017, 12:00:10 pm »

Hi guys,
I hope I can pick your brains again

Since a few days I'm getting:
Event 413, Task Scheduler service failed to load tasks at service startup. Additional Data: Error Value: 2147942402.

at the same time I noticed in Task Scheduler:
the selected task "{0}" no longer exists....           (please see attached screen shots for both)

I'm not sure if both are related ...

I tried to fix with repair tool but to no avail
(note that I unchecked "reset services to default" and "fix important windows services" ... because I don't want to loose my settings ... but they are the same settings as before the error occurred ... but I would if you recommend)

I could not find any satisfactory answers on the net ... can you help?

Thanks

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Windows Repair Tool-Pro: Reset Tweaks to normal

« on: January 26, 2017, 10:06:02 am »

Hi Forum,
quick question to Windows Repair All In One - Pro:

After having applied some of the Tweak Tools, esp. the Performance set ...

Does using the Repair Tool (all default) reverse the Tweaks / changes made with Tweak Tool to normal?

I'm exploring reasons why I get/got yellow UAC warnings (".cmd or .msc ... unknown program") for regular Windows apps like event viewer or services.
At first it pointed to Malwarebytes and their Real-Time protection but it looks like it wasn't the culprit.
Today I ran the Repair tool twice, without the tweaks - and so far no prompts for event viewer etc. ... and blue ones for admin. command prompt and acknowledged programs - as usual

so - does using the Repair Tool reverse any tweaks made in the past?

Thanks

General Computer Support / UAC popup prompt switches between blue and yellow sporadically

« on: January 22, 2017, 12:20:50 pm »

UAC warning switches back and forth between blue to yellow, for system items e.g. services, event viewer, etc

Hello Forum,
I experience this lately, after using the repair tool, but I'm not sure if it was caused by it.

I have a few shortcuts that I put on my start menu to have quick access to commonly used items as:
- open admin. command prompt in one click
- access to ‘view hidden files’ in Folder Handling in one click
- empty all event logs in event viewer (downoalded script) in one click
- empty clipboard (   “   )
In shortcut properties “Run as Administrator” is ticked
Here is the problem:
The UAC warning/prompt always used to pop up in blue, but lately it is yellow for a while, then changes back to blue…??? and so on … from one day to the next or several times a day...
The same goes for opening some system items as services or event viewer
It is sporadically and I didn’t change anything

I read up on it and it supposed to be related to
“known” and “unknown” applications – "digitally signed" or not – "trusted" or not
Why is it changing on its own and can an application be set to be trusted once and for all?  (system apps in my case - not talking about acknowledged programs, whichhave no prompt at all) 
I noticed that all the above are sitting in C\...\System32 ... e.g cmd.exe or he one for services ...

as I'm typing it went back to normal (after startup and after a few minutes running themachine) ... meaning NO prompt for e.g. services, and for custom one back to blue ... but for how long ... next startup back to yellow and everything is prompted...

Info: Win7, 64 bit, I’m the administrator and only user
Thanks

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Pro Features > System Tweaks changes colour / theme

« on: January 01, 2017, 01:52:30 pm »

Hello,
I was so happy with WR tool that I purchased the Pro Version only to find out that it does non-intended things.

In Pro Features I only applied the System Tweaks (I did NOT go any further yet to the next sections or even to Visual Features) ... yet System Tweaks changed the look of Windows, border colours...??!!?? And there is NO way to re-set it in Personalize > Window Colour.

Luckily I made a system image just before and I could get my personal / custom look again.

Why is that? Please help

Thanks

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Question AFTER successful Windows Repair

« on: December 30, 2016, 05:06:17 am »

Hello Forum,
I experienced and posted the successful use of the Windows Repair Tool just recently and am a happy camper.
Howerer - I noticed that after using the tool several, older Optional Windows Updates re-appeared in Update Check. There are e.g. older Intel System and Intel Graphics Adapter updates and a couple of Windows 7 for 64-based ones - some from 2016, some are years old.

My question: does the tool uninstall certain updates that it finds unnecessary or harmful?
If so, should I leave it at that or re-install?
If the tool found these updates unnecessary I guess there is a reason for that - as the machine works fine so far.

So-in general and out of curiosity -can the tool be tweaked to leave updates alone?
                                                       can the tool be tweaked to leave Services settings alone?

Thanks

General Computer Support / Schannel ... 36887 ... Fatal Error: 40

« on: December 26, 2016, 09:53:37 am »

Hello Forum,
I have been researching a lot but could NOT find a satisfying answer to Piling errors in event viewer (administrative):

Schannel ... 36887 ... Fatal Error: 40

It started only lately and they are coming again and again - always in pairs, identical, every 15 min. or so
Some say its an IE problem (TSL, Handshake...?) I'm not a computer geek and don't know most of the things they are talking about.
(Im using Chrome, not IE, but am afraid to disable it because it supposedly effects other features??)

Is there any advice or does Windows repair tool address this? Or any other tool?
I wouldn't ask here if there was anything usable outhere.
At the same time I'm concerned what the repair tool will do to all my custom settings on my machine ...?

Win7 - 64 bit - SSD for OS - 16 Gig

Thanks all!!

Tweaking.com Support & Help / tweaking.com Widows Repair - 3.9.0.19 ... Custom Settings safe?

« on: December 26, 2016, 09:37:41 am »

Hello Community,
I've expereinced some issues with win7 and I would like to have everything checked in general.

I heard lots of good reviews about the tool, but my concern is:

Question:
Will it set everything back to default? ...

I have lots of customizations, as e.g.
 - the look of my desktop/ two monitors,
 - Groups and Libraries taken out of explorer pane (only "Computer"), 
 - moved  certain folders e.g. "My Documents") from "C" to "F",
 - custom scripts e.g. 'run: clean event viewer',
 - custom event views,
 - page file settings and others specifically for SSD, etc, etc. (stuff I might not all remember to re-set

Do I have to re-set all of this?
Does it "repair" ... or better "re-set" personal customizations as well?

Again - I'd like to use the tool but don't want to end up with 'as new' factory settings ...

I hope this is a legitimate question and thanks for your answers in advance
