Problem running Windows Repair
« on: August 15, 2016, 01:13:37 pm »
Hi,

I need to run Repair_Windows.exe but when i run it as an administrator it loads for 5 seconds or so and then stops but the interface doesn't pop on my screen. I tried running it in safe mode but the same thing happens. Also, when I check in the
processes, Windows_Repair appears and disappears few seconds later. I'm on windows 7.

thanks for your help, I really need to run Windows Repair to repair my computer!

Run a sfc /scannow from an admin command prompt to see what that reports.

Yes, that was what I was wanting to see.

Open a Command Prompt (Admin) and enter -

dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth

and if that reports the volume repairable then enter -

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

This can appear to hang at 20% but will complete, then do another sfc /scannow to see if it still reports corruption, although with a corrupt iexplore.exe I'm surprised you can browse.

If /checkhealth reports irreparable then I suggest you do a repair install.

Did you upgrade this machine or did it come with Win 10 pre-installed ?

If you haven't created Win 10 bootable media then you can do so by downloading the Media Creation Tool (MCT) from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

When you get the choice, select download the ISO and to install on another machine.

The program will give you the choice of creating a bootable USB or DVD.

To perform a repair install, boot up Windows, open Windows Explorer and insert the disk.

Double click on the drive when it comes up and it should start the install.

Sorry - missed that, the 9600 in Cannot repair member file [l:24{12}]"iexplore.exe" of Microsoft-Windows-IE-InternetExplorer-Optional, Version = 11.2.9600 I mistook for the OS version instead of the IE version - my mistake.

Download SFCFix.exe to see if that can fix it - you can copy and paste its report which will be more concise.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sfcfix.html

Running the System Update Readiness Tool (SURT) can sometimes repair files - download the one to match your OS version from https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/947821

It is a 533MB download so it's worth selecting Save and then run it from your Downloads folder.

You can find its log in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS then double click on the Checksur one.

That's great news.

Try running Windows Repair to see if it will open now.
