hi makinero

I now understand your reply
To explain further:

I downloaded windows repair due to slow running possible missing windows components. As I said in my post. I ran the solution and it found 40 odd errors which took around 12 hours to run. Just in case there were errors in the sys restore I ran the Beta version. I found that at the end of the process I was getting some errors such as certificates not valid on most website I visited, streaming not working.

So thinking that the fixes Id ran had corrupted the system I tried sys restore which failed. having tried to do the restore several times without success I did some research on what causes issues with certificates and found that on some occasions the system time was out of sink. Which in my case it was the system time and date. I wasn't sure  if by running the windows repair solution it had a bug which might have changed the system date and time because it was fine before running the solution.

Just in case and for the benefit of windows repair users that may have had a similar experience I did this post:
 should user of windows repair have a similar issue eg certificates not valid,  then one of the things they should check is the system time and if its wrong reset time and date to current time and date.   

I hope that's clear.....

PS:  before I make any changes to my system I always create a restore point and backup the registry.

Thank you for you kind response. Andy

Missasip1938, this is a thread on how the repair system restore tool works, not the rest of the program. Was system restore working before or after the repair?

Willy2, that DLL is a system restore component and should be in your system32 folder.

I don't know whether this is the right place to post this so if I wrong then apologies in advance.

So I recently read an article in Computer Active regarding the solution Windows repair. I ran the program and all seemed to be good although it identified some 46 areas that require repair. I did the backup as recommend by you. The repairs took around 12 hours to complete but long story short It appeared to complete.
I then went on to use the Beta Restore repair tool. For some reason the repair completed however after the reboot there appeared to be some corruption on some programs (example IE11) the certificates on known websites didn’t function. And streaming failed on YouTube. I thought that somehow the corruption was due to the repairs so I tried to do system restore but after several failed attempts I did some research on failed certificates.
I then had a eureka moment as it turns out somehow during the repair(s) the system time and date got changed. Simple solution was to reset the time and date to current time. Problem solved.

I thought I’d let you know just in case this is a bug (undocumented feature) in the solution.
