what app is being reset?

127
Naw - The program won't work like that.  If you boot from portable or any other way, it will work on C:.  You'll have to be able to get it to boot.

You probably have already seen this, but this document may help.

Windows startup repair is different than our program.

Boot into safemode. Open our program. On staep 5 you can restore the backups and that should get you where you started.

I have no idea what would cause a drive letter issue.

I'm going to run this up the flagpole. I can't think of anything that would make a difference with the polish version of windows 7.

yeah - Uncheck the repair file associations (item 23). Then it shouldn't touch them.

It tracks ntfs indexing. On an SSD you don't need indexing turned on. You can delete it.

If you right click on the software icon and choose "run as adminstrator" does that help?

Something is stopping the program from resetting permissions.

Only a few things can do that - mainly antiviral programs.  What are you running?

Hey there,

Hard one to diagnose.

Best guess is something in your action center isn't playing nicely. Do you have anything custom in there?

Also, do you see anything odd in the logs?
 

135
That's weird - Haven't heard of this one at all and I handle most of the support mail.  That dll is used by Microsoft for skinning things. Is there any error message with the crash?

My gut tells me something else is using that and not playing nicely. Could be a million things but lets try two things first.

1st try and right click on the exe for the registry backup and run as administrator and see if that error persists
2nd reboot to safe mode and see if it will run.

General Computer Support / Re: Duplicate subfolders in User folder
« on: January 17, 2017, 06:51:32 am »
The program can't have done anything to make duplicate subfolder, but I have done that on a number of occasions by accident with my mouse.

What folders are they? System folders?

« on: January 05, 2017, 04:12:57 pm »
Well, the window repair wouldn't delete user folders, that would be bad.  That's kind of a weird name for a folder, and I'm confused on why there are 2. I suspect you are logging in as a the DOCFIX one and aren't realizing. Or for some reason, the whole *.* thing is confusing matters.  I would create a different user, and remove the other two after I have my data, however, you can change the default folders in the registry. I found a good article here.

I don't suppose you have run the tweaking repair program before?  If so there is a backup of your registry that you can restore.

Nothing the Tweaking software could have done would delete a folder from your desktop. 

I have done and seen it done where folders are accidentally deleted off the desktop by errant mouse clicks.

1) did you check your recycle bin?
2) did you do a search for some of the file names on your drive to see if it was actually a shortcut and to a folder?
3) if it is not in recycle bin or another place on the drive - did you try the software I recommended?

Until you solve what I have above - I would highly recommend that you stop writing to your drive. The more likely it is that you will not recover any data.

False positives are overrunning the world .

99% of the time if you see "GEN (Trojan)"  it's a false positive. This simply means that the AV company does know what it is.  Anytime a programmer makes a significant change to a file it can throw off a false positive because of the change.. Even if you are whitelisted.  There is no way to submit programs prior - you have to release. See who makes a mistake. Write them and hope they correct their error in a timely fashion.

OK - If you stored a folder on your desktop and it was deleted. You're best bet is to do nothing to write to the drive and open recycle bin to see if the folder is there.
If that doesn't work something like this should

Please forgive me, I'm having a hard time understanding the problem.

The TWR program wouldn't have touched your folders. 

1st if system restore isn't working, you may have a deeper issue.  If it is hanging there for hours, I may very well suspect you have a drive problem.

IF the folder was of installed programs, The programs should still be install and you can find them by clicking the windows icon on the bottom left and then all programs.

I am HOPING your folder on the desktop was a shortcut folder to your work.  Storing an actual folder on the desktop is a bad idea as it can be  accidentally deleted.  I know, I've done it myself.  If you did that, the best hope is the folder is in the recycle bin and you can restore it.  There should be an icon on your desktop for that.

Otherwise, I am hoping you had a folder shortcut, and you just need to search your drive to where they were store - like my documents or my pictures.

There's actually a bug in windows registry hive  for current user classes. They say they are having a hotfix coming in spring.  I don't think this has anything to do with that and we test well on anniversary edition.  I handle most of the support mail here and this issue has not shown up. 

First thing you should do is a chkdsk  and your system is clean.  Makes sure you have the latest version.  Then reboot in safemode and run the program again - may help.  Sometimes the repairs just need to be run twice. 





145
Yeah - it could have. The all in one packs can work great, but can cause havoc too.

Few  things I would think of.
 1)  if you know your motherboard, find the install pack from that specific board.
 2) Go to device manager and under USB devices look for any USB HUB entries.  Click on and under properties disable power management - reboot.
 3) If that didnt work - delete the USB hubs and reboot (hoping for a re detection)

146
Ahh. OK. Yes, if you have the pro version, you can create custom .bat, vbs and .reg files script. It does not, however, export our code. 

147
You can't do what you want to do. The program will not run remotely as you would like ...

If it were me, i'd find a second hard drive and place the Tweaking Windows repair portable version on that - then you could access it that way.

A couple of other ideas. Boot into the bios and see if you can turn off USB, then boot to windows. Then go back to the bios and turn on USB (or change any parameters you can) The "might" make windows redetect the USB bus and set things back up.


If that fails: Press  WinKey +R to open Run run box, type devmgmt.msc . Look for anything with exclamation points regarding USB and delete them (tab down then use arrow keys) Reboot and see if it is properly redetected.






149
are you booting into safe mode when this happens?

150
Sometimes the repairs need to run as a service.  If it cannot load as a service you will see that error.

95% of the time this is your antivirus app blocking it.

If you reboot into safe mode it should work fine.
