All repairs staring "Decompressing & updating...." causes Windows Repair to stop

[LarsErikOsterud]

When repair gets to a point where it starts "Decompressing & updating...." then I get a box saying Windows Repair has stoppet responing and has been closed.  So I can't do any of the repairs I need (like firewall not working).

Any ideas in why the "Decompressing...." task makes the program terminate, and how to fix this?

Running Windows 10 Home (updated).

Work your way through this article to see if it helps with the firewall. http://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-firewall-service-does-not-start

The default permissions are compressed and so the program has to decompress them. I have never had it lock up doing that. Did you make sure you are running the repairs in safe mode so that no 3rd party program is messing with it?

If so then also do a chkdsk on the drive to look for any bad sectors. If the file getting extracted ended up on a bad sector it would do the same as well.
