Wow, that IS odd. So what program did you use to remove the password? Any chance you have a link to it?

I'm impressed with how responsive you are to the forum!

hahaha  sorry I hijacked the thread from the OP, but I didn't want it to seem like he was the only one with those issues.

Hope for the best helping him out!

PS like your signature, particularly the part about knowledge needing to be shared, couldn't agree more.

I use it all the time and so do a LOT of computer shops, in fact found out that MS and HP support are using it now lol

Something is different on your system and instead of reinstalling I want to find out what happened

If you like I will be happy to teamviewer into you and work with you so I can find out what is going on. If you are up for that I am online now, send me an email to shane at tweaking.com

Shane, thanks again for your responses.  So I got home today and ran the newest version to try to get screenshots of the errors, but wouldn't you know... this time it ran and when it restarted, everything that had stopped working the first time is fine now.  I have not found any of the issues mentioned before.  I'm not sure what happened last time, but it may have been a one off.  Strange that it happened to the OP too. 

Come to think of it, restore I did was to 2 days ago and the only thing that was different is that this time I did not checkdisk or run sfc like the software recommended.  I doubt that played a role, but last time because of the recommendations by the software to run checkdisk and sfc, I ran those before running Tweaking AIO. 

At any rate, I really appreciate your responsiveness and all the assistance you provide.  My confidence in the software has been restored.  Of course next I will be testing on a computer that does have problems.

Defender was turned off (assuming by something Tweaking did), so when I went to click the turn on button the error came up.

I am going to do it again and get some snapshots to attach to my response. I know some people that said they ran your tool and resolved issues, so I was shocked when this happened to mine. I was expecting it to run and not really find anything or do anything, but instead ended up with an unusable machine. I know it's a good tool because I trust the people that told me about it.

Shane, I didn't get any error messages when I downloaded from your site. That may have been someone else. The error messages I got were after running Tweaking and were with relation to when I tried to restore from within the Windows, also when I tried to turn Defender back on which apparently was switched off by Tweaking, and also remember an error when I tested the audio devices (no errors listed in device manager though).

I'll run it again today and attach the errors that I did get.

Can you post a screen shot of the error you are getting?

Shane

Not sure if you were talking to me, but I didn't capture the screen when the Windows Defender or restore error came up.

Seems like a nifty tool and your work to help others is Sincerely appreciated, I can even run it again and let you know what errors or test anything else out if you want... I just don't know if it will do it again.

(disclaimer) This is not funny, but I cannot help but laugh.  I have the exact same issue described above, except that I have IE 11.  Luckily for me, I have a image of my PC backed up from 2 days ago.

I have never ran tweaking (default selection) and decided to test it for the first time to see what it would do on my test machine that had absolutely no issues with it before.  Since running tweaking I have the same exact issues as the OP mentioned with the exceptions; I have IE 11 and I do have restore points although I did not create them when Tweaking asked me to.  I do not run a 3rd party AV on this PC because it is just a test machine and I often infect it and test things out without protection and then clean it or re-install Windows clean, but always in the end, leave it working.

Noticed that:
- IE 11 opens and immediately closes (both desktop version and Modern Interface verion/Metro verion).
- Most apps from MS Store open and immediately close.
- Cannot access Control Panel directly (but can access items inside by right clicking it and selecting them from the list).
- No sound even just testing from sounds doesn't work (did before and it's not muted).
- It seems to have turned off Windows Defender, when I turned it back on, it says definitions cannot be updated becase of an authentication issue.
Edit***
- Using restore from within the OS results in an error that it did not complete successfully and nothing was changed.
- Clicking on the charms did nothing so I had to log out /sign out and use the shift+restart to boot into advanced and ran restore from there which solved the problems by restoring to 2 days ago.

This is not a rant or anything, I just wanted to let you guys know because there IS something wrong with the program. Glad I didn't run it on an essential PC.
