Tweaking.com Support & Help / Been running for 48 hours and no end in sight ... help!
« on: September 04, 2020, 03:34:52 pm »
Hi,
Two or three years ago I ran Tweaking,com on an XP computer and got good results. It ran a few hours, four or five maybe. Now I'm trying to fix problems on a Windows 10 computer. As I write this, Tweaking.com has been running 48 hours. I'm concerned something is wrong.
It's running in Safe Mode. I did a power down as instructed. Then booted Tweaking.com.
It ran through the first few repairs in minutes or less, but seems stuck on repair 8/42. As I'm sure you know, there's a warning screen instruction to be patient and that stopping it can cause problems. I take that to mean screw up the computer. I assume that means the registry could be corrupted. It also says, 'Registering 132 files.'
The Tweaking screen shows CPU Usage changing once a second. It reports CPU usage varying between about 0.1% and 1.5% Mostly around 0.3%. I haven't seen any Drive Read: bytes reported. But Drive Write Bytes reports brief writes as large as about 14 bytes every minute or two. Memory Used had been running at a constant 1.08 gig until (maybe) just a few minutes ago when it ticked up to 1.11 gig.
How much trouble am I in? Is it stuck? Will it ever finish? Is there anything I can do?
I'm prepared to be patient, but this is so far beyond what I expected. I'm occasionally subjected to brief power outages. I have a surge protector/backup battery, but it didn't seem to keep the computer running during the last couple outages. So that's got me worried too.
My computer:
Windows 10 OS (1909) 10.0.18363.1016
HP Compaq Elite 82 SFF (purchased factory reconditioned in 2018)
Intel Core i7-2600
64 bit
4 gig ram
C: solid state Samsung. I forget the size.
F: conventional mechanical hard drive 2 TB Hitachi
My programs/applications are on C:
My data files are on F:
