I ran the chkdsk which came up with a number of bad sectore. See other thread.
But I also worked on replacng those missing and corrupted files.
- I discovered that my netbook has the same windows 8.1 Pro 32-bit version as my inlaw's PC
- So I took the missing and corrupted files from that netbook and copied them to the problematic PC using Take ownership
- After that, WR Pre-Scan continues to report that some .mum files are corrupted
- On my netbook though, they are not seen as corrupted
Any experience with this?
Meanwhile, I've used the Repair All function and this helped getting rid of these nasty Red Warning Crosses in Windows Update. Giving Windows Update another try, it figured something is wrong and suggested that I run a Fix-It, which in its turn reported having fixed some stuff.
Currently, there are no error messages running Windows Update, but it gets stuck at downloading at 5%.
Apologies for intermixing two remedy trajectories.
