General Computer Support / Cannot start Windows Update Service after it was Disabled - Access Denied

« on: September 22, 2021, 05:57:41 am »

My problem is as above.

I followed instructions from a similar post https://www.tweaking.com/forums/index.php/topic,6751.msg48702.html#msg48702 Re: Can`t install latest Windows 10 update KB5000842.

But am still stuck. The "ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old" failed with Access Denied and none of the services mentioned could be restarted.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Advice on using Registry Backup and restore please

« on: May 12, 2020, 11:28:08 pm »

I’m new to tweaking.com forums so please bear with me if you can.

The first I knew that I had a problem was that a USB microphone driver failed, the microphone would not work and the driver wouldn’t uninstall. I thought I would simply have to restore the Windows Registry with System Restore and all would be well.

However, try as I might using advice from various web sites, I could not recovery any old versions of the registry and System Restore always failed with error 0x80070005. So I started looking for registry backup and restore programs and tweaking.com’s Registry Backup looks like it should do the job and give me a way of keeping the Registry up to date without a working Windows System Restore.

I have done some practice backup/restores with Registry Backup and it seems to work in that the Registry does get restored but I am unsure that I am using the best options and I do get an error when I restore.

The error I get with the Registry Backup after restoring is “The User Profile Service failed to sign in. User profile cannot be loaded”. But I can log in and my desktop looks as it should.

Would I be best to use Volume Shadow Copy from now on or Fallback?

Can I repair the Profile error that I get after I use Registry Backup to restore?

Any advice would be appreciated.
