Tweaking.com Support & Help / System Error: DLL initialization routine failed

« on: August 10, 2023, 09:55:56 am »

On Windows 11, am getting this error when attempting to start "Tweaking.com - Windows Repair".
Note: no other software programs are reporting errors. Running SFC /scannow found no system errors.
Also tried uninstalling and then re-installing the "Tweaking.com - Windows Repair" software, but that made no improvement.

The DISM command apparently resolved the corrupted file issue. No corruption was found after running sfc /scannow for a 2nd time.

Yes, also ran (prior to running the Dism command) the "sfc /scannow" while in Safe Mode, which said that there were some corrupted files found, but repairing them was (for unknown reasons) disabled. Not sure if an elevated command prompt would have solved that issue, or not.

There's a potential new additional repair method for Tweaking.com - Windows Repair. "Error code: 0x80073712" appeared while attempting to install a recent cumulative update for Windows 10.
Note: Tried using the latest version of Tweaking.com - Windows Repair while in Safe Mode & running "all repairs", but the same error persisted.
Solution: Run from an elevated command prompt: " Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth ".

OK, thanks. In this case, your suggestion did work to solve the Windows Update error.
It would be great if the Tweaking.com - Windows Repair utility could be able to diagnose & rrepair such problems without requiring what amounts to a re-install of Windows, which sometimes does fail to work.

Thanks, but no: still having the exact same error notice after running those 2 DISM commands & also re-running sfc /scannow in Safe Mode, which completed to 100% & with no errors found. Also re-ran the complete set of standard repairs (free edition).
Is there maybe a log file that could help determine the problem?

There is some kind of system error that various repair attempts using the (latest v. 4.5.2) Tweaking.com Windows Repair utility is, at least not yet, capable of diagnosing and fixing.
As of June 13, 2019 the current Windows 10 64-bit is: [Version 1903 Build 10.0.18362.175].
However, another machine [Version 1903 build 10.0.18362.86] cannot further update due to KB4503293 installation Error:  0x800f0988
A search for "Error:  0x800f0988" found nothing useful.
Note: have already tried using the various repair functions of the Windows Repair utility, such as booting to Safe Mode, running sfc /scannow, chkdsk /f, and the numerous other repair functions within the utility.
Thanks in advance.

Normal boot to desktop has now been restored.
Method used: boot from a secondary boot drive, with the former boot drive now configured as secondary, and simply navigate to the C:\Users\(user name) folder.
A pop-up window says that continuing will change the ownership properties. Click to continue.
That's all that was required to regain proper operation, after a reboot to the original boot drive.

There's a major problem with latest version 4.5.0.
Windows 64-bit, version 1903, build 18362.145.
After running only the "Permissions" repair and re-booting, can no longer log on to the normal user account.
Instead, a new "Temp" user account is created, and a warning appears that if any settings changes for the "Temp" account are made, that they will disappear upon reboot.
How to regain normal login?

While waiting on a fix, here's an interesting/useful "Dism++" software that includes some useful functions:

https://www.chuyu.me/

It can (safely) clean out WinSxs stores, which saved ~600 Mb to ~1,200 Mb on various machines, can disable the little arrows on desktop icons, and dozens of other tweaks.
Can also convert .esd files to .iso files.

Don't confuse version number vs. build number.
Version 1607's latest build number is 14393.10.
At a command prompt, type "winver".

Nice find - do you have a link to that fix ?

Does WR still find Reparse Points to fix and unable to repair them ?

1. Second reply here:   http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/how-to-instal-net-framework-35-on-windows-10/450b3ba6-4d19-45ae-840e-78519f36d7a4?auth=1

2. Yes, same Reparse Points errors & unable to repair. No noticeable bad effect of having the errors, however.

.NET Framework 3.5 is part of Windows.

Go Start - type appwiz.cpl and press enter - click on Turn Windows features on or off and when the window populates, you should see an entry for 3.5 with a filled box.

This means that only part of it used.

If it isn't filled then click on it - OK  and see if that is the cause of the Reparse Point problem.

If it is filled then click on it to uncheck - OK - you could try a reboot then go back and re-check its box.

Yes, but what are you supposed to do when that fails to work properly?
What did work for me was:
Command Prompt (Admin):
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:z:\sources\sxs
Where "z" is the drive letter of the USB thumb drive (or optical disk) used for the O.S. installation.

Note: Windows 10 Build 14393.3 is (reportedly) the final RTM build, scheduled for release on Aug.2.
First noticed Reparse Point errors on Win 10 several builds previous.
Was hoping that updating to a newer Win 10 build number would have repaired the Reparse Points error, but unfortunately did not.
What prompted the diagnosis attempt, was that a certain older program needed Dot NET 3.5, which was balking when using the normal installation procedure.
Dot NET 3.5 is an optional feature that can be installed on an as-needed basis from the Win10 installation media.

OK: re-downloaded the tweaking.com v. 3.95 program, attempted repairs to Reparse Points & Environmental variable, but unable to fix either.
Log file & PRTSC attached.

Don't know whether this problem is related to this one:
http://www.tweaking.com/forums/index.php/topic,134.0.html
But with the most recent tweaking.com utility 3.95 version, the "Repair Reparse Points" function fails to make any repairs.
This is for the latest Win10 64-bit, "Insider" build 14393.
The tweaking.com utility 3.95 finds 28 Reparse Points needing repair ("Problems Found: Yes"), but although the Repair function seems to churn away for a minute or two, nothing actually gets repaired. I've also tried booting into Safe Mode, with the same result.
Note: this particular O.S. installation has been re-updated several times from a previous "Insider" build, so maybe a complete re-format and re-install would clear up the errors.
