No. After running repairs, the flag stays on and I always have to restore backup. In other words, the repairs do me no good right now. Unless, of course, I can figure out which repair it is. But the most logical thing to do is fix my PC first. That's where the problem is I'm sure.

I can try under administrative account. Might work.
When I run the repairs, I still get the red flag.
This evening I'll try the scannow again under admin and let you know.

Yes. I had all that. It started up, said this would take some time and the cursor flashed the whole time. 10 mins later, it gave me the message just like sfc /scannow:  sfc found cruruptions and could not fix. But only 10 minutes.

It ran for about 10 minutes. I noticed the discussion never kicked in during the whole time so I knew it was doing nothing..
PC running fine otherwise. Amazing. And fast sine I uninstalled MSE and Malwarebytes. Installed Webroot instead and what a difference.

This is what I got: Looks like it did nothing. Not one file was replaced.
sfc and also ran SFCFix, inserted the disc again and nothing.

I have 104 files (same as before).

Now what can I try?

No I didn't know that. X then would be my C partition letter. OK. We'll give her a try tinight

Please confirm : I know if I don't get this perfect, it won't work :

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows

Is there a space between \ /?

You got to explain all this to me just like you would a kid. I have no idea but I'm good at following instructions.

I´m so sorry Boggin, but the disc I have (thought it was W7 Sp1) is a repair Windows 7. It is not the original...it´s just a repair. I can fix startup problems and check memory or completely reinstall and save my files also.

You mentioned you had a disc for windows. I will PM you my data.

I have a Windows 7 disk and will try it that way. Readiness did not fix much. Also, as you can see from my scan file, I have a lot more problems than that.
Refresh me: I insert disc and then boot up with it and then run a scan with it inserted?
Best to give me step by step instructions.
Thanks

Nothing yet. I said I might need a clean install. I am about to do Readiness tool. I will try that first then do another src\scan.

Hello All,
Just made a BIG discovery. Before running the repairs of Tweaking, I went into Safe Mode (of course) and I waited before I ran the test until I saw the little white flag pop up. It does normally do this with the red X in it due to Windows Update being off. Well this time it popped up and I ran the mouse over it and opened it just to make sure. This time it was not the Update it was telling me but the whole Action Center was off and nothing about Updates. I tried to activate it as it told me to do, but an error came up saying this action could not be done. I then proceeded into the Services and tried from there....no way.

To make a long story short, it has nothing to do with Tweaking.com repairs. It does this when I go to Safe Mode BEFORE running the repairs.

Any suggestions? Should I go to Windows 7 forums or some other place?

Maybe it´s my PC, maybe it´s the program: Every time I run tweaking.com repairs, it messes up my registry. I ALWAYS have to restore from the previous. Tweaking repairs does me no good. It´s a pity after all these years that this could be happening. That´s what makes me think that it could probably be something with my PC.
This is the third time I have written and have had no response. I was told once that Shane would be emailed about the problem, but never heard from that.
Remember: I run the program as usual. Safe Mode, Admin. rights. etc. with default checked off and restart. When started, my Action Center pops up with red flag and I cannot open it. I have tried even using the Services option and it will not start.
I always thought that this issue was something with Malwarebytes 3.0 because it all started AFTER I installed it (about 3 weeks ago).
I uninstalled it to check and see if this made a difference, but no.

Still awaiting..............

Can´t wait any longer-
Ran the newest update of 3,9,24 and it´s now even worse.

When I run the repair, not only does it block my Action Center so I cannot enter, it now blocks my malwarebytes 3.06 program and will not let it open. Says there is an error and program will not start.

I restore again and all is well, but tweaking.com repair cannot be used on this PC. Pity.

Awaiting any news

OK. I have Windows Repair Pro. (Have for almost 3 years now). I downloaded 3.9.23 yesterday and ran the repairs in Safe Mode.
Got esactly the same thing. Everything runs fine on the computer but it is imposible to open the Action Center and, of course, I get the red flag tell me to activate. I the went to the Services and tried to activate there (tried to start it, but to no avail).

I´ve been thinking: Since all of this started with the update of MB 3.0.5, I wonder if there are remnance of it still in the registry? I wonder if they have an uninstall tool? I´ll look around and see.

I´ll wait and see what Shane has to say.

Just a reminder:
After all this time I thought it was the new MB 3.0.5 that was messing me up. Now that I have my PC exactly the way it was before the new version of MB, I now know it´s something in the tweaking.com repairs that is messing up my Action Center and giving me an error. And everytime I run tweaking repairs, I have to restore the registry.

Well what I did was use tweaking backup restore and now everything's back to normal. But this time I ran the repairs without the new version, just like before. I just wonder why it's just affecting the Action Center and nothing else.

I am using the Premium version of 3.0.5-

There is no problem with MSE and the old versions. And that is where I´m at now. I am back to MSE, MBAM and MBAE.
And no...you cannot run ,SE alongside MB 3.0.5 right now. There is a bug they say and are investigating it as of now.
But (here´s another one)......I just ran tweaking after I had gone back to normal and my WSC came up with the red flag. I tried to open it and it says it could not open. That has never happened before and THAT has nothing to do with MB 3.0.5 because it´s not on my PC anymore.
P.S. What I´m saying is I got smart and did what you said: Uninstalled MB 3.0.5 and went back to the old version. But I reinstalled MSE.

Yes. I am running MB 3.05 on Win 7.
Well...I did exactly what you said: Ran MSE Uninstall Tool and then ran tweaking.com tool default with the 06 and 27 unchecked.
Sorry to inform you that this did not work. Got the same results and had to restore the registry backup.
I´ve been thinking about reverting back to my old system of MSE and the old version of MBAM and MBAE at least until all the bugs are out of the new version 3.0.5. I really don´t like the fact that MB is by itself anyway because I don´t trust a program that fails the EICAR test.
I know that MSE and the new MB do not go well together and they are on this for the new version when it comes out. They told me I will be advised when it does.

I am assuming that all this is the new MB and not tweaking.com.

I am willing to help if you have any more suggestions.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Running repairs and Malwarebytes 3.0

« on: January 14, 2017, 09:58:36 am »

I installed the new Malwarbytes 3.0 about a week ago. It seems to be working just fine on my PC and using it as my only AV. Had to uninstall MSE due to the fact that it was buggy and messed up my starting and stopping process. MB knows about it and they are on it.
My problem is that I ran the complete repair (default) of tweaking.com and restarted. The first thing I noticed was that Malwarebytes errored on startup and could not open the security center either. Red flag came up and I could not open.
I rolled back to my old registry (that heartbeat thing) and everything went back to normal.
Now I´m affraid to run tweaking.com. Any suggestions or help?
