Where does TWEAKING start from?

[bromberg]

When I boot up tweaking.com is running but since I don't always want to run it I see no need to take up any resources.
I don't see it as a menu option or in the STARTUP folder, so how does it start?
Thanks,
Dan

Open the program and click on Settings where you will see the option to Remove from Startup.

Thanks! It took a few minutes for the GUI to appear (containing the SETTINGS icon) after it was done file checking
so I kept closing TWEAKING since I wan't aware there even was a GUI !?!
Thanks again,
Dan

Sometimes I have to red X out that file check when it completes to get to the main UI, but glad you got it sorted.

[bromberg]

So it's not possible to get to the GUI until the FILE CHECKING has completed - correct?
Thanks,
Dan

[Boggin]

That is correct.

It's an useful check as it has occasionally found corruption in the files and a reinstall was required.

I don't how the corruption occurs, but it has a couple of times for me.

[bromberg]

And when a file is marked as corrupted, is TWEAKING smart enough to download and replace the corrupted file, or at least name it so I can research the problem?
Thanks,
Dan

No, even the Pro version doesn't do that - it requires a manual reinstall but you can download on top of the existing install where it just overwrites it.

[bromberg]

Now I'm confused!? I thought the 781(?) files Tweaking evaluates are the Windows 10/OS files?!
How am I supposed to know which file(s) is/are corrupt unless some sort of report is produced?

It doesn't matter which file(s) are corrupt - you just reinstall the program.

If you had a corrupt Win 10 and you ran dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth and that did the job, would you be bothered with finding out what it had restored or just grateful that your system was working again - I know what I'd be.

I've told you how to resolve when the repair program reports corrupt files, but you seem to be making a big thing about it when it isn't.

[bromberg]

Though I would be curious to know what files are corrupt just to see if it was something I caused for whatever reason, I agree, I'd be far more grateful to just get back to a functioning PC.

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I'm still not sure how to get back to normal. Are you saying that by merely reinstalling TWEAKING.com that the corrupt files are repaired? I would have thought reinstalling TWEAKING would fix its own program but if I understand you correctly reinstalling TWEAKING somehow corrects MS's 781 programs, not the TWEAKING program - is that correct? In other words, after I reinstall TWEAKING and run the analysis I will no longer see any errors; if so, would've been nice if that was documented somewhere (or did I overlook it, would not be the first time).

Thanks again for your patience,
Dan

A little while back a member posted about the file check finding corruption and I told him exactly what I've told you and he's never been back except to say Thank You - and that's where I'm leaving this thread.
