Tweaking.com Support & Help / Re: Current Repairs Failing
« on: June 16, 2016, 05:09:19 am »
I encountered a similar current repair has failed problem and solved it by unchecking the 'backup registry' option in the tab Repairs.
I am trying to solve Windows Update failing on a Vista 32 Home Premium SP2 machine.
Did all the optional tab things, including the registry backup on tab 5 (Windows Repair 3.9.2). Nevertheless I left the then superfluous 'Automatically Do a Registry Backup' option checked and clicked Open Repairs. I noticed I didn't see anything about a registry backup. Did it start, did it succeed, did the process finish?
Then I click Start Repairs and after the memory check the repair job notified 4 times a 'current repair has failed' (without mentioning what is was actually currently repairing).
The first Repair task is something with the registry (reset permissions). I noticed a registry backup process was still running. Could this be the 'Automatically Do a Registry Backup' process? I unchecked the option in the Repairs tab, exited Windows Repairs and did a reboot in Safe mode.
(Note: Windows Repair doesn't boot in Safe Mode but in Safe Mode with Networking. Is it supposed to do that?)
I started Repairs again (with backup registry still unchecked) and everything went smoothly.
(I don't know yet if Windows Update has been repaired.)
