Shane, thanks but how do I edit posts, and how do I set the correct time zone for them?

Please advise.

Thanks and regards, Roy

When I ran the bcdedit |find "osdevice" command the command prompt window displayed the following:

osdevice                         partition=D:
osdevice                         partition=C:

and below that X:\Sources>

What should I enter after that?

Apart from the above, FWIW your edit still hasn't appeared on the web page for this topic.

It's unrelated, but how do I set the time zone for my account?

Boggin, when I booted from the Win 10 DVD I got the expected options to install or repair. I chose repair, which is what I assume you meant by navigate to Recovery.

You say note where the OS is located, but I didn't know how to do that, however I assumed that since I booted from the Win 10 DVD It would be C.

I chose the command prompt window, but it opened with X:\Sources>-I assume I need it to open with C:\Windows\System32> and if that is correct how do I change the command line to that?

Please advise.

Boggin, I assume that I could run the offboot sfc /scannow command by booting to Win 10, then opening the bootable ISO, and then running the command. Is that correct?

Boggin, thanks. I knew the command to get the sfc details in a text file on my desktop, and the file is attached. I don't think the unrepaired corruptions referred to are important, but perhaps you can confirm this for me.

I will await a reply from someone else about the source file.

Thanks and regards,

General Computer Support / System File Check For Windows 10

« on: August 08, 2015, 11:30:12 pm »

I ran the System File Check option of the Windows Repair program while booted to Windows 10 Pro 64 bit in Safe Mode with Networking. Corrupt files were found but System File Check could not repair them.

I then started Windows 10 normally and ran sfc /scannow. The results were exactly the same as those for the Windows Repair program.

I then ran SFCFix.exe (a Sysinternals program) but that said it was unable to locate the  source file. It gave a link to a Microsoft web page giving an explanation about the source file, but I could not understand it.

Can anyone tell me where to find the source file please. (I have an installation DVD for Windows 10).

Please advise.

Thanks and regards, Roy

General Computer Support / Windows 7 Pro x 64-Windows Update Question (Solved)

« on: August 08, 2015, 05:31:50 am »

I installed and ran the Tweaking.com Windows Repair program today and was very impressed.

I have just one query. When I open Windows Update and go to Update History it says no updates have been installed, which is incorrect, whereas Installed Updates correctly shows that a total of 221 updates have been installed. How can this discrepancy be resolved?

Please advise.

Thanks and regards, Roy
