If you're trying to solve some Windows problems and you couldn't find a tool that works, Tweaking.com - Windows Repair might have what it takes to do the job.
The application has been developed to solve some common Windows problems, but the way it does it is really unique.
To make sure users are on the safe side all the time, the program has been developed as a wizard, so users just need to follow some steps to repair the Windows errors.
Only that four of the five steps included in the app are actually designed to prepare you for the repairing process, so each time you're advised to either clean your system in case any infection exists on the local disks, check file system or create a backup.
The last and the most important step provides a total of three Windows repair modes, namely basic, advanced and custom.
While the basic mode runs only basic repair options and the advanced one comes with more complicated utilities, the custom version lets you pick exactly the things you need to fix.
For example, you're allowed to reset registry and file permissions, repair Windows Firewall, Internet Explorer and the HOSTS file, fix icons, proxy settings, Windows Updates and Windows Sidebar, remove temporary files, unhide non-system files, register system files or set Windows services to default startup.
Although it may sound like a waste of time, it's crucial to create a backup before attempting to fix certain errors, just to be sure no harm could be done to your system.
Simply put, Tweaking.com - Windows Repair is an easy to use and effective utility that serves its purpose in a way that makes it appropriate for all types of users.
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...
