Reparse Point not repaired

[anderssont]

Hello,

I'm on Windows 10 Pro since 5th august (upgraded from Win 8.1) and have still not fixed all problems.
Main problem that persist is Store and some Apps that can't be opened.
Trying to use Windows Repair to help finding causes.
One of the errors I get from Windows Repair is in Prescan and Repair Reparse Points.
Prescan finds 198 Reparse Points and on of those is marked for repair.
Running Repair Reparse Points on Missing Reparse Point: Junction Original path C:\Users\Tommy\Start Menu to
Target C:\Users\Tommy\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
does not take effect.
Have tried several times and also rebooted, but this reparse point is still missing.

Something to worry about?

Regards
Tommy

I fixed that repair tool in my Windows Repair 3.6.0 and now it also has a log with it so we can see if it fails and why. Try the newest version and let me know how it goes

Hi again and thanks for your response.
I have now upgraded to 3.6.0 and did 2 runs.
Same symptom. The Reparse point is always misssing and no repair takes place.
Attached the logs from Prescan and Repair Reparse.

I had to use google trans late, but this line here

RemoveDirectoryW Returned An Error, Error: 0 - Katalogen är inte tom.

Says it couldnt remove the folder because it wasnt empty. So lets try renaming it and then running the repair. Go rename "C:\Users\Tommy\Start Menu" to "C:\Users\Tommy\Start Menu Old" and then run the repair again.

The mklink command can only create it if it doesnt exist, so since we cant delete it then a rename should do the job

Shane,

That did it! See attached log.
But is this rename now performed something that results in any change I will ever notice?

Thanks
