Does Tweaking work for you, B/C it does not work for me?
« on: January 16, 2016, 03:36:01 pm »
The step by step directions are outstanding.  But the program doesn't fix a thing, even in safe mode.   Don't believe me.  here is the verification. 

Love some help please...

   Done, but failed, at (1/16/2016 3:04:13 PM)
   Total Repair Time: 00:02:02

The current repair has failed to start 4 times.
Something is keeping the repair from running.

Try running the repairs in Windows Safe Mode. (This will keep 3rd party programs from getting in the way of the repairs)
If the repairs still fail then please post in the Tweaking.com forums for support.

I've brought this to the attention of Shane, but it may not be until Monday or later that he will be able to respond.

The program runs a lot of the repairs under the system account, to do this it installs a service to run the repairs from, it runs the tweaking_ras.exe in the files folder, if something is blocking it or it isnt able to run then the repairs cant start.

After you try running the repairs go check the event viewer and see if anything shows up there. :wink:

Hi Shane,
This is what I discovered.  If I use the application from regular window and select, start in safe mode, a few DOS screens come up and my pc will restart in Safe mode, but the Tweaking version of Safe mode runs very slow and tweaking app does not run at all.  If I shut the computer off and F8 into regular windows safe mode the tweaking apps runs great.  Do I have a virus that is preventing the app from running in the Tweaking Safe mode?

I did run tweaking several times and ultimately the app did fix my M/S Update difficulties.  Thoughts in this anomaly?

The safe mode tweaking does is the same, it just calls the bcdedit command to enable safe mode on bootup. It is the very same safe mode as F8. My program calls the safe mode with networking.

If you are able to go into normal safe mode and it works better than it could be something with the network drivers in safe mode or always a possible firewall or even a virus, hard to tell.

To be on the safe side give ADWCleaner a run and also malwarebytes anit root kit (This is different than their normal program)
