Chinese characters in US Repair Parse Points results.

What's this?

I rebooted and re-ran Tweaking Windows repair and re-ran check reparse points ( and chkDsk, and DISM ), and "Problems Found?: No", but the tab saying [ (Information ) All Found reparse Points On System ] has these Chinese characters shown below ( I included a prior OK line and an OK line after ).

I searched the disk for such characters and found none.

  I can sort of understand that by what if Windows or someone similar caused your problem but they can't or won't help rectify it?
   Last night i had message from Windows to say there was an update that i should install, which i dutifully did, much to my chagrin.
  This morning...no User account but one i didn't create with nothing that i wanted on it.  I have tried all instructions but to no avail and i'm at a loss as to where my account has gone...can you help in any way please.  I just don't understand why it's all gone as it was there last night.

4.13.1 of Repair Windows hesitates and appears to fail to enumerate it's files upon loading, compared to 4.12, which enumerates it's files immediately and quickly, moving the progress bar and number count quickly.

On older, slower computers, the hesitation is so severe that 4.13.1 appears to lock up and be totally dysfunctional, so I've been killing 4.13.1, and reverting to v4.12 instead.

Is this startup hesitation something new happening with 4.13.1, an inbuilt programming self-check change, or does this indicate something else with the computer under test needs attention?

I've experienced this mostly with Windows 7 x64 Pro, 2-core computers, HDD, usually 4GB ram ( not newfangled multi-multi-core, SSD equipped, 16+GB ram beasts ).

Any clues?

Thanks for letting us explore this and share.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Unable to open Registry Backup
« Last post by colion on February 04, 2023, 09:56:27 am »
I installed Registry Backup and it appears to work properly.  However, I am unable to open the program either with the desktop icon or *.exe file in order to modify settings.  Would appreciate any suggestions to rectify this problem.

UPDATE:  The program finally opened after a long delay of 20-30 minutes.  Then about 10 minutes later an error message appeared:

"The program did'nt shut down properly.  This may be due to a problem with the Volume Shadow Copy Service. ..."

Have switched to Fallback method and we'll see if that works.

You don't know shit about the Internet, and you're fretting like crazy. Learn something man, because you are spouting nonsensical ideas.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Missing folders in Outlook
« Last post by MSRadell on January 15, 2023, 03:07:34 pm »
I have multiple Microsoft Outlook accounts and into the accounts I have folders that are not there anymore?  The folders in questions are different between the 2 accounts but ones I'm primarily interested in are "saved documents" and "sent documents" the folders are missing in both the Outlook desktop application and Outlook online.  Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

For reference the desktop App I'm running is part of Office 365.

When a person clicks on a link, they do that because they want to see something. If the link didn't open anything they wouldn't understand why nothing happened.  When a browser opens up it gives the person results from clicking on the link.  The results the browser gives a person could be:
What the person wanted a web site.
A problem of why the browser couldn't show the web site.
A message saying "page unavailable or blocked."

That shows clicking on the link worked.  It might or might not be the results what the person wanted but it does show the user a positive result for clicking on the link.

But if you open the page it opens the browser automatically (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave, Internet Explorer). And this problem cannot be stopped even with the best blockers in the world.
Why is there no solution to this problem on the internet?

All web browsers open with a page when you ask it to go to a URL.

If the web browser opens to a page that says "page unavailable or blocked." it's not going to the site.
That is how the browser tells you it's not going to show you the site.

It's simple. I want to block the ability to open any site, even https://google.com or https://www.tweaking.com. Any page, it doesn't matter what page it is.
Why is this not possible?
I paste the address into all browsers and still the page opens with the message: page unavailable or blocked.
