First, Let me free the repair tool from any responsibility for my issues with creating a standard user;
I restored the image I took before running the tool and the problem was already in existence.
The solution at technet.microsoft.com resolved the problem.

I booted into safemode with networking and ran 3.42, chose the default tools.  However, I deselected 28.01,
29 & 30 - these appear to be for Windows 8 & 10.

The system seems in a better state of health now.

I noticed a couple of things, the Netlogon service should have a default of manual; apparently it's only if you're on
a domain (the tool set it to automatic)
Secondly, perhaps it's worth mentioning in the right pane that the Windows update repair removes all the update history and
does a complete reset.
Thanks again for a great tool.
Dave

Open MSCONFIG and find out what service(s) is de-selected.
Then navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig in REGEDIT,
and look at the keys under it.  Look at the values on the right side.  See if you can find a match.

I had this problem in Windows 7 once and it was caused by uninstalling or installing something while in selective (or diagnostic) mode.
The system was unable to put it back to "normal" mode because it couldn't reconcile the way it was originally
(because of a conflict) to the way it became after the system changes mentioned above.

There is a registry key that can be cleaned that resolves this problem, but I am unable to find it at the moment.

Hello - had no luck running this in safemode with networking, it crashed every time after 5 minutes or so.
(This is in my Windows 7 32-bit home PC)

Eventually ran the repair tools in normal mode, right clicking on the icon and choosing "run as administrator".
This time it ran to normally, to completion.

Had another problem that showed up after running default file permissions.  The symptom was that if you added
a new user (user applet in Control Panel), everything *looked* normal, until that user tried to logon, which failed.

A look at the c:\users\....  showed that the set of files for the new user had not been created.  After checking the event viewer,
the system had a problem copying certain files from c:\users\default to the new profile.  The solution was to make a change to the
users\default permissions.

Seems like a strange problem to crop up, anyway, the problem and solution are documented here:

What was that part of the tool supposed to do?
Could it have failed because I had some definite permission problems in the registry?

Thanks very much for a well thought out and executed utility.

I had an odd problem in Vista, in which request for help in Microsoft Answers and Technet forums went unanswered.
My PC worked properly only when running in UAC - off mode.  When UAC was on,  some system functions failed
all supplied scheduled task, including the Microsoft supplied tasks.

After running the registry and filesystem permissions reset it all started to work again.

The restore important services log shows the following (here is the first four lines)
Error:  The system cannot find the file specified.

Error:  The file or directory is not a reparse point.

Error:  The system cannot find the file specified.

Error:  The file or directory is not a reparse point.


etc, etc.  on to the end, another 30 or 40 lines
