Windows repair

Good morning to you Sir, or if I may, Shane.
I have used Windows Repair (AIO) for a while now, my last run show quite a large number of “failure” centred on options 1 and 2. The ammount of failures show as ... 57, 86, and 2.
The log shows the following:

            “Application Data> failed with: The system cannot find the path specified.”

I’m sure that I am doing, or have done something, wrong.  I have included part of the log which shows the particular failures if that helps.

Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Mick

Ah I see what is going on.

I will have a fix and an update out later today :-)

The bat file uses the %USERNAME%, which should return the path of the user. BUT the repair is ran under the local system account, so it is pulling the wrong path.

I know how to fix that and will get it done today :wink:

WOW!
Thank you Shane   :smiley:

I was expecting to explain that any suggestions you make would have to be in "idiot-speak" so that I could understand.

Thank you so much, you are amazing

Good evening Shane.

I am sorry say that the results are worse.
After d/l and running the set-up, I deleted the old desktop icon and uses the new, only to see the the increased number of failures.

Then, for no reason, I changed the computers descriptive name and ran it again only to get a matching result.  I am not to sure why I changed the name, but I did.

like always Avast was disabled "till restart", Comodo was still running as was Spybot.  When I first noticed the increase in failures I disabled each, one at a time, Comodo and spybot but found that they did not affect the failure results.

I am still very impressed with the progrm and even more at the speed of response to my first post.

I have included the two logs for you ... just in case.

Kind regards
Mick

Great Thank you Shane.

However when the program shows the marron header, it did show 56, 86 6, 2, 1 as failures.

I will run it again at the end of the wek when I do a full clean.

Thank you again

Regards

Hi Shane,

 :thinking:    Please don't cringe    :thinking:

Last night I left Windows Repair, (AIO), repair running because it appeared to have hung-up on list item 3.  When I got up this morning it was in the same position.  Using Revo Un-installer I removed Windows Repair and I then deleted the Tweeking.com folder in programs directory.  I then ran Ccleaner and its registry cleaner, downloaded and installed Windows Repair so that I was starting off fresh.

Windows Repair completed its cycle this time.  When checking the logs, I was surprised to see not one log but 22 other logs.  Although I am not sure if I understand the log properly it seemed to show that all was done and was well ... and yet, the other logs showed failures.

However, my concern is that the some of the other logs at state a failure. Some even show “access denied by Avast.  I had suspended Avast till next computer restart.

So ... via msconfig/services and start-up, I deselected both Comodo and Avast,  (previously having  disconnected my computer from my modem) ... but, Avast being as persistent as it is remained fully functional. I , therefore, “disabled it permanently. 
The resultant logs (via 7zip) are attached, however, I am wondering whether it is time for to re-install windows even though there is nothing obviously wrong with my computer, yes ...  it has stalled every-so-often and not just on one site.
Your comments are appreciated

Regards
Mick

The errors are ok. Avast protects itself from any other program touching it, it does this so a virus cant kill it easily. So you will see the access denied errors from my program, this is ok :-)

You said the repair got hung up at list item 3, you mean the register system files? Was avast enabled when you did that?

Other than that the logs look fine and I see normal errors that can be ignored :-)

How ever this is only 1 error I dont like.

Quote
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run - RegSetKeySecurity Error : 5 Access is denied.

That is the startup regkey that programs can go to run at startup when you login. And setting the permissions on it was denied. So either something is messed up with it or you have a program monitoring that regkey and it wouldnt allow the permissions change.

Shane,

Thank you for the peace of mind and 100% NO about Avast, it was definitely "permanently disabled".
Because Windows Repair calls a restart at the en of its cycle, it seems the easiest way to make sure that Avast does not influence the outcome of your program.

Once again, I really do appreciate both your program and the time taken by your good-self.

Regards
