System Restore still HDD hog. Requested files attached

[Bubba Euler]

Shane, today I ran both chkdsk and SFC /f /r.  I copied the CBS Log and have attached it, along with some JPEG's of ResMon's of System Restore running and not running.  I hope this'll help you in the Beta creation of Repair System Restore.

There is no help out there for this problem, that I've found.

I am wondering if it is a .net problem.

Try this tool, havent used it yet so not sure if it is of any help

The only way I have ever got .net to start working right was to completely remove it with this tool

And then reinstall .net. Give it a try

Shane, the .NET Repair didn't help.  I'm wanting to try the uninstall .NET and re-install .NET, but I don't know the first thing about where to get the file(s) needed nor how to install 'em when I get  'em!  Ha!  I'll do a little research today. 

Thanks.

The download for the removl tool is near the top of the page in the middle, just read

And once you use that tool reboot and then go do Windows updates. .Net should show up in there

Thank you, Shane!  That's easier than I expected.  Here's hoping that this will do the trick.

Uninstalled .NET Framework, re-booted and ran Windows Update.  All went well.  Started the System Restore and set a Restore Point.  Opened ResMon and watched PID 4.  Same old symptoms occurred:  98 - 100% Disc activity from PID 4 lasting ~20 seconds every ~60 seconds!

Frustrating....

Thank you for the downloads.  At least we know that .NET Framework is good-to-go. 

If you happen to think of another possible remedy, please let me know.

Thanks,
