Windows Repair (WMI) (SOLVED)
« on: September 07, 2014, 05:23:40 am »
MS Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit SP1
Intel Core i3-3200 CPU @ 3.300GHz, 4.0GB Ram, Intel HD Graphics

I am running Windows Repair (latest version).  I have not “repaired” steps 1-4, starting at “05 - Repair  WMI”

The program “seems” to be stuck in 05 – Repair WMI. The program has been repairing this section for nearly 8 hrs and states “step 1 of 3 – repairing WMI.....  Is this length of time to be expected?

Windows repair shows that both memory (approx 1GB) and CPU usage (approx 25%) are being employed in the repair.

Any suggestions ... with the exception suicide   :cheesy:  would be appreciated.
Regards
Mick
I stopped it and all appears well, I will leave using Windows all in one ... for a while.

- Windows Repair takes about 30 minutes on my Win 7 Pro system.
- Close as much programs as possible and disable the Antivirus.
- run the program again (with output to screen enabled), including the first 4 (5 ??) repairs.
- At the point where Windows Repair gets stuck make a screenshot. Abort the program and rerun the program starting with the next repair.
- repeat this procedure every time the program gets stuck
- post the screenshots & the main logfile

The Repair WMI will loop through the drive to find mof files to add back. But it shouldnt ever get stuck.

Do this, in the settings of the program take the check off of the hide output to cmd.exe window

That way when you run the repair wmi you can see where it is at and if it might be stuck on one of the commands. :wink:

The main downfall of running the repairs through the cmd.exe window is I get no control over a command or even to be able to tell is a command is stuck. So sometimes the best thing to do is see where it is having problems and go from there.

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I downloaded the latest verson of Windows repair and repaired every item on the list individually ... starting from the bottom.

Every repair was completed successfully ... so ... as I did not actually do anything special ... except follow suggestions, I have no idea what or why.

Thanks again for the support of the folks in here and all is well
