System Health Report

[Jethro7]

Many thanks Snick,

I have completed the tasks Roy gave me (with mixed results), and have just seen your post, so will get on to that immediately. I think I understand your instructions, hopefully all goes well.
Then report back in a little while.

EDIT: Snick, can you please tell me what is the SURT Tool (never mind, brain explosion, must be the heat, 34 degrees here now )

Kind Regards Jethro

 

[Jethro7]

Hi Snick, please forgive me, I need a few pointers on the SURT Tool, see EDIT above.

Never mind, silly me SystemUpdateReadinessTool, having a brain Fart moment ..... LOL

Back soon as the tool takes a while to run.

Hello Roy & Snick,

I have completed all the tasks but unfortunately there has been no observable difference to the behaviour of Performance Monitor and the Generate s System Health Report. Both tools giving the (Cannot find the Specified Path) error message. There has been no negative effects but non on the positive side either.
I have included some pictures below of the Perfmon and the error message which may show you more of what I'm seeing.
I seems that I have an issue in the OS System registry which is causing the Perfmon to not be able to return results/reports. Manually starting, results in (The System Cannot find the Path Specified) error message.
Perfmon seems to be broken even when trying to create (User Defined Data Sets), even though the xml's are present, there output configurations are not present, nor can they be created for the System - Diagnostic or Performance options.


@torchwood (Roy)
I have completed the tasks you gave me, each one is addressed in the (Highlights)
(Please also see pictures below) I have included pics of the System Diagnostics & Performance properties tabs as well as Perfmon pics.


wusa /uninstall /KB:2949927 Done- ran admin cmd withthis pasted - ran uninstall. see pic below for result
(Update KB2949927was not Installed on this Computer)

was it successfull, if so please Reboot ****NO not successful**** result (not installed on this computer) reboot anyway see pic below

Is KB3123479 on your installed list - the replacement Yes- Searched historyKB3123479 is installed

check if perfmon is populated Not sure what populated means, so I have included some pictures of my Perfmon & Properties panels (pictures below)

IF NOT
please download this program
FarbarRecovery Scan Tool Download Sensitive info when scan was run not sure what would be on the fix list, did not choose to fix anything ****unsure about this one**** so many items which are legitamate but are noted in the scan Whitelists, could not determine what might be Removed / Moved or Deleted. (Did not run the Fix option)

we will need to do more cleaning.

Either way please rerun KB947821, post results Re-ran Readiness Tool - completed. Also Ran Win Update - no new updates were found.


@Snick

I have completed the tasks you gave me, there seems to be no negative effects but no positive ones either. The Performance Monitor & Generate a System Health Reporting Tool are still returning the error message Cannot find the Specified Path. (Please see pics below)

Kind Regards gentlemen
Hope to hear from you soon, Jethro

Hmmm those screenshots, see mine

Roy

 

[Jethro7]

Hi Roy,

Attached CheckSUR.log

I see your Output column has been fully populated indicating that the xml configs have a path and are configured to find the Specified Path, whereas mine is not and there seems no way you input the correct paths.

Kind Regards Jethro

Hi Jethro,

Thanks Snick for the packages, worked like a charm

Certainly seems to be the root cause, been lookin around the web for the cause, NOT seen that before
Do you have an event id 2002


Roy

 

[Jethro7]

Hi Roy,

I created a custom Event viewer looking for any Event ID 2002 (none found)

Hi Jethro,

heading towards a repair install.
Those output files are user specific and depend upon whats on your system

Last hope before repair
can you navigate to
C >> perflogs >> system... RIGHT click on that folder .. Security

Rights for System & Administrator should as in my screenshot, user - special permissions ONLY

Roy

 

[Snick]

No problem with the packages, if anyone else has an issue that requires replacing missing CAT, MUM or MANIFESTS, by all means give me a shout. I don't necessary login to SevenForums daily but I do check my E-mail regularly.

Happy computing!

Hi Roy,

Mine has the same options selected as in your pic, but even though they are the same mine are "greyed out" whereas yours are "black"
I cannot alter the "Allow" Permissions with the Edit Button, or even special permissions with the Advanced button, the options can only be set to "Deny"

I think I'm headed for the "Repair" option myself, something is definitely out of kilter on my machine.

Thanks for all your help Roy, and Snick for your mum's & cat's.

Kind Regards Jethro

Hi Jethro,

interesting reply regarding "greyed" out options,

lets hit this

1. Download Windows Repair (All-in-One) Portable to your desktop.
http://www.tweaking.com/files/setups...repair_aio.zip


2. Once the file is downloaded, right-click on the file on your desktop and choose Extract All...
3. Keep the defaults and click the Extract button.
4. A folder named tweaking.com_windows_repair_aio will be extracted to the desktop. Once the extraction is complete the folder will open.
5. Inside this folder, there is a folder named Tweaking.com - Windows Repair. Open this folder as well.
6. Double-click on Repair_Windows.exe to open. Note: Please make sure all of your programs are closed and anything you were working on is saved as we will be rebooting.
7. When the program opens, click the Reboot to Safe Mode button at the bottom of the screen. Answer Yes to allow.

8. Once rebooted into Safe Mode, open the program again. When the program opens, click the Repairs tab and click the Open Repairs button.

9. A backup of your registry will be made. After a few moments you will have many options from which you can choose.
10. Please click the Unselect All button and then click to enable only the following ones:

01 - Reset Registry Permissions
02 - Reset File Permissions
03 - Reset Service Permissions
04 - Register System Files
10 - Remove Policies Set By Infection
14 - Remove Temp Files
15 - Repair Proxy Settings
17 - Repair Windows Updates
21 - Repair MSI (Windows Installer)


11. Ensure the Restart check box is selected and click the Start Repairs button in the lower right of the screen. This may take some time to run so be patient.

Hi Roy,

All complete with the Tweaking.com - Windows Repair tool.

While there were no negative outcomes, Unfortunately there were no positive ones either. Still no go with Perfmon, so I have decided to do an OS Repair, with either my W7 installation Disk or the (W7 64 ISO) and if that doesn't work or changes access to my FlightSim installed programs and addons, I will most likely Reinstall from scratch. Its a big Job which has taken more than 6months to perfectly configure and construct, but I feel now that I must bite the bullet or end up screwing the pooch.



I feel sick at the thought of reinstalling nearly 300Gb or more of FS Addons and Utilities and then configuring them to their former well tuned state, I have done this twice before in years past, but its getting more and more unpleasant each time

, there is just no way to effectively image these setups for restoration when such disasters happen, (no shares in storage facility & cant add any more drives to the PC) as they are constantly being added to and tweaked I would find myself doing much less flying and more backup imaging and system restoration/maintenance each and every time an MS or other update came along.

Thankyou for your time and effort to resolve my issue, but I'm sure you have more important things to do than continue with my mess.

Kind Regards Jethro

Repair Install saves your files, folders, pictures, video, etc. just refreshes windows.
