Troubleshooters don't work. Not always same code.

I uninstalled it last week per another member's suggestion. Troubleshooters still coming up with previous error. What about Bitdefender?

I went through MS's site before coming here. Advice from senior members who appear to be well respected have included removal of certain programs. I don't know that removal of a program damages 'the system' as I have found no information that would support that statement.

I would be interested in the opinions of other knowledgable members on the issue of removing potentially harmful programs and the 'damage' done by removing a program 'like Advanced System Care'.

I don't know that ASC is responsible for or caused any problem or damage to my system. Reinstalling the OS shouldn't cause me to lose programs or data. It will replace missing files and overwrite corrupt files. It shouldn't reformat the drive or remove non-OS data.

Using the Recovery disk, that also contains the OS, I re-installed Win7HP and, as I knew it would, it replaced files without touching data such as email, documents, images or programs.

Just because somebody wrote that a program damaged their system, without a complete breakdown and elimination of hardware problems, I would definitely seek other opinions. I've run ASC for years without problem. It seems that their latest version may be buggy; if the issues are resolved, then deleting it was the right thing to do.

My OS is on an SSD - no moving parts. I can't see it being 'damaged' by a program.

Don't trust what one person tells you unless it makes sense or won't make any difference. Reinstalling the OS and recovery disks are there for a reason. My system is restored. I don't know that it fixed any of the problems, but I'll find out soon enough. :)

Unfortunately just removing programs like ASC, actually, does not remove any of the changes made.
In each of their options they always create restore points or have there own built-in revert function, and they should be run prior to their removal.

I've had ASC for years now and its never actually given me any grief, and im also running Bitdefender as my AV.

Going back to your oringal error that code reports back to a permissions problem.
If you copy that code and paste it back into your browser it should go straight to an MS forum page with instructions on how to correct it.

Please Advise Noel about what your doing running more than 1 fix at the same time will cause confusion and may well be counter-productive.

Right. And MS offers 1 suggestions - is to create a new user and try running the troubleshooter with that new account. If it has no problems, then your user account is corrupt. The instructions that follow are so convoluted and involve probably a dozen steps that don't need to be there and would give me a major headache.

The headache starts right after creation of a new user account, but you don't login to that account, you find the files from the potentially corrupt user and copy them to the new user account; then a bunch of steps that look like more work than I feel like doing right now and will probably have to print out just to follow.

Log off, Log on, blah blah blah. Why can't they just make a patch? Now I see I have two Problem Devices that are missing so I have to reload the system disk just to find and copy the files.
