Over 17 hours and still repairing [SOLVED]
« on: January 27, 2018, 10:35:44 pm »
I'm running a repair that says "THIS MAY TAKE A LONG TIME... STOPPING THIS PROCESS BEFORE IT IS FINISHED CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS"
My question is, how long should I wait? For the past 17 hours it's been stuck on "Step 1 of 3 - Repairing WMI...."
Yes, the CPU usage is active so I guess it IS responding and not completely frozen, but is 17 hours normal for step 1?
The C drive it's repairing is a 500GB SSD.

Please advise what to do.

Yes, that is quite a long time.

You could stop the repair and repair it manually with these cmds from a Command Prompt run as an administrator, although I believe Shane had incorporated these cmds into that repair.

Had you performed a chkdsk /r and a sfc /scannow before running the program ?

winmgmt /standalonehost

winmgmt /resetrepository

shutdown /r /t 00

If you haven't performed a chkdsk and a sfc /scannow, do those and the two winmgmt cmds and then try the program again.

The shutdown cmd will effect an immediate reboot.

Ok, did that. Ran the other checks also in safe mode. All seems to be fine now. Thanks!

That's good news and thanks for the update.

If you don't have any other problems then you can go to your first post and click on Modify and add [SOLVED] to the thread title.
