Windows repair ?working or stalled
« on: November 21, 2015, 02:49:46 pm »
 :confused: I hope you can help me... I started the repair Thursday night, doing steps 1-4 I believe. Then I did a shut down & started the repair process Friday morning. Well, it's still running??? It's been stuck on repair job 6/44 (repair Windows firewall) for a day & 7 hours 😐 Is this normal?? What should I be doing differently? I am running Windows 7. I've attached a picture of the screen from this morning when it was running. CPU usage goes anywhere from 0-0.368%, 0.735% & occasionally up to 1+%, so I believe it's still running/working (but what do I know) & not stalled out but why isn't it progressing?? TIA for any help!!

Has this sorted itself out yet and are you running it in Safe Mode with Networking ?

so a few questions have you tried running in safemode with networking? (stops most 3rd party programs from killing the repairs from running)
at any point during the repairs did you ever re open and close windows repair? (if you do this it will tell the program to close and thus the repairs will not complete even though it says it's running)
have you done a chkdsk /f /r (you may have data in bad sectors Possible hdd failure)
there can be multiple reason's why this can happen let's go down the list and narrow it down.  :smiley:
