This is the portable edition of Tweaking.com - Windows Repair. The software app aims to supply users with a straightforward solution to repair some OS issues, by restoring system tools to their factory settings.
Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can drop the program files anywhere on the computer and run the executable file immediately.
Alternatively, you can move Tweaking.com - Windows Repair to a removable storage unit to run it on any computer without prior a install.
An important factor is that Windows Registry is not updated with entries, and leftovers do not remain on the hard disk after removing the tool.
The app's graphical interface includes a simple-to-use layout, resembling the one of a wizard, where you take few steps to complete a repairing task in no time. Thus, Tweaking.com - Windows Repair can be used even by people with minimum background in such programs.
The application offers to clean your system of malware infections, but it requires to download a third-party component to do so. Plus, it can check the system files for errors, corrupted parts or mismatched versions to fix them (a computer restart is necessary).
Tweaking.com - Windows Repair also provides a backup and restore service for the Registry, in case the operating system starts experiencing issues after modifications are applied. Statistics are logged to file for further analysis.
The application barely uses CPU and system memory, so it doesn't hog the computer's resources. No error dialogs have been shown in our tests and the app did not hang or crash.
What's New in This Release:
· Update to the Reset File and Reset Registry permissions. These repairs now delete orphaned SIDs and no longer follows symbolic links, keeping it from getting stuck in an infinite loop.
· Updated the Repair Important Services to apply reg permissions to the service section in the registry (In case the reg permissions repair was skipped, and for users on Windows 8 who can't user the reg permissions repair because of the Windows App store.) and also to remove symbolic links from the Windows defender folder in case a well known virus put those there to break Windows defender.
· Added remove_symbolic_links_from_windows_defender_folder.bat file to the files folder. This can be used by users who simply need to remove the symbolic links a virus puts on the Windows defender folder to keep Windows defender from working. The program now does this as well, but I decided to add a file for it for advanced users. The program doesn't not use this file, so changing it will have no effect on the program...
