    Problem after disabling windows features.


    Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help but the error message that I got gave me a hunch that it was here. I disabled some windows features that I was sure I wasn't using and after some time I noticed that I actually needed IE9 because of compatibility issues with my campu's homepage.

    Now to the problem, after re-enabling IE9 and other features of windows i got the message "Configuring Windows updates x% complete Do not turn off your computer." while restarting and after the restart it got stuck for a good couple of hours at "Preparing to configure Windows. Do not turn off your computer." After that I had to do a system restore and tried to re-enable the windows features and kept getting the same error.

    I don't want to screw up my OS so I thought this was the place to ask because the problem itself had no error codes, the computer was stuck with a windows update message.

    My question is, Can I turn on/off the windows features again without freezing/restoring my system? I followed the instructions in the sticky, if it helps I was using a custom theme for windows but I am in doubt if that was the cause of the problem.

    Many custom themes screw up Explorer/IR functionality, and break updates - so it could be that (which ones are you using?).



    Having said that, the problem is shown well in the CheckSUR report....

    Code:
    Summary:

    .
    (w) Unable to open Event Log 0x000006B5 System  OpenEventLog failed: 0x000006B5 - The interface is unknown.
    .
    as for your SFC scan...

    So yes, the Theme is definitely part of the problem!

    We need to see what the problem is with the Event log services....

    The fact that the EventLog service can't start is blocking the WERSVC from starting....

    Reboot to Safe Mode
    Navigate to
    C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI
    (you'll have to enable access to the folder)

    In there should be the RtBackup folder - rename it to RtBackup.old

    Reboot to Normal Mode and WAIT 15 minutes for the system to rebuild any data before running the above SC/NET commands again - post the new results.

    I restarted in safe mode and renamed the RtBackup to RtBackup.old, after waiting more than 15 minutes I ran the commands again:

    Code:
    C:\Users\Netoxic>NET START WECSVC
    The Windows Event Collector service is starting.
    The Windows Event Collector service was started successfully.
    
    
    C:\Users\Netoxic>NET START WERSVC

    The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has n

    The requested service has already been started.

    Good - that seems to have fixed the EventLog error.
    It hasn't enabled the WERSVC, though

    Please run the following commands, and post the results.
