O&O Shutup10

[Masque]

Does anyone know: which features on Shutup10 do I have to re-enable for Windows Update to NOT fail? Or should I just go with the "Factory Reset" option after creating my Restore Point and saving my current O&O Shutup10 settings as a CFG file?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Just go ahead and re-enable everything via ShutUp10. Let it make Restore Point and Reboot. Once it reboots, go and click the StartMenu or Cortana Search box and type Disk Cleanup then use the Run As Admin option. Tick ALL boxes listed except for "Downloads" and click OK to wipe all the old junk the OS keeps on-hand. When done reboot once more then do a Check for Updates via Windows Updates (Settings > Updates & Security)

You don't really need to use ShutUp10 though if you would install Win10 or 11 PRO. Then anything ShutUp10 can do, plus more, can all be done yourself through Group Policy. You can also Pause Windows Updates for a period of time instead of turning it off entirely. Just be sure to disable anything in the OS to do with SMB, Peer-2-Peer (P2P) as well as Windows Updates Networking Sharing.

Thanks for the tips, Bad.

Did all that. Windows Update said downloading, recommended a restart, I restarted, it gave me the screen where it says "setting up the windows update", rebooted at 50%, Windows works fine.

Went back to Windows Update to see if I'm finally up to date, and see this, for the bazillionth time:

"There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80004005)"

I guess I should search the web for that error.

What are you updating to exactly?

If updating your Win10 version/build via Feature Update; such as 21H2, its better to just make a fresh USB flash drive via media creation tool. When done, run SETUP.EXE from the usb drive. This will do an in-place upgrade to the newest version of Win10.

Try checking for corruption. Open Command Prompt as Administrator

Run all of these, 1 after the other

sfc /scanow

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

If you had any Corruption/missing data it should get fixed

[Masque]

Bad -- yes, it's 21H2 I'm trying to update to. For no reason other than I'm tired of the notifications.

I looked up the error and a MS forum mod solution had me up til 2:30 AM trying to do it -- involved the command line.

Step :1

a. Press Windows Key + X.
b. Click on ‘Command Prompt (Admin)

Note: Click ‘Yes’ if it prompts for UAC(User Account Control).
c. Type following commands into the command prompt one after the other

net stop wuauserv

net stop bits

net stop cryptsvc


Keep Command Prompt window opened.

Step :2

Rename Windows Update folders

At the command prompt, type the following commands, and then press Enter after each command:


ren %systemroot%\System32\Catroot2 Catroot2.old
ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

Then type the following, commands and then press ENTER after each command:

net start wuauserv

net start bits

net start cryptsvc

This only worked in Safe Mode for me -- well, renaming the Catroot folder did anyway. the SoftwareDistribution folder does not exist at all.

After renaming the Catroot folder, restarted and tried the update again, and it failed again.

Also dug into the System32 folder to verify -- I assume Windows just made a new Catroot folder, but the one I renamed Catroot.old is still there, and there's also another folder named "CatRoot", which contains similar folders to the .old one, but with different "modified" dates, dating back to 2019. The .old folder's folder's are dated sometime in 2020. The new one is dated yesterday.

I don't know why there's a different CatRoot folder with different capitalization.

Also there is an error log text file (dberr.txt) in Catroot that contains this:

...with that last entry repeated about 200 or so times.

If that rings any bells? It's Greek to me other than it's errors.

Do I need my Windows Bitlocker code for this? If so, I can only try this at the end of June, as I just got a new phone number yesterday (switched my Boost Mobile to a better tower network, but had to change numbers to do it), and MS account security won't let me see the Bitlocker code for exactly one month after I changed the 2FA security to the new number.

[Masque]

Supafly, will attempt.

Running sfc now.

[Masque]

SFC says there are corrupt files.

DISM (CheckHealth) says "No Component store corruption detected."

DISM (ScanHealth) got to 66.5% and stopped running.

ScanHealth の投稿を引用：

Error 23
Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
The DISM log file can be found at c:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

DISM (RestoreHealth) got to 41.4% and stopped running.

Same exact error messages.

Looks like I'm stuck, so I'll go buy a USB stick and try Bad's next step with the MS Media Creation Tool. Checked a few sites and it doesn't look like I'll need my Bitlocker code.

I appreciate the help.

O&O Shutup10, XPAntiSpy and all those tools are the best way to damage your OS.
Their intentions are good but most of their options cant be re-enabled, even if it tells you so.

Youll laugh if I tell you how many PCs I had on my desk where people totally ruined their operating system with this kind of tools and of course WITHOUT a backup. ^^ (Talking OS backup)

Your only choice if dism/sfc doesnt work´, is a clean install. You could also do a factory reset if you dont have a backup, which I hope you do.
Nobody should use a PC without one.

edit: That being said, you want more privacy ? Switch to Linux.
There is no other option, believe me.

[Masque]

Thanks Schrute -- I will stop using SU10 and learn how to shut those things off within Windows10 Pro, myself, as Bad suggested.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

How long have you had OS Settings disabled or changed by using ShutUp10? If has not been too long, you could try a System Restore Point.

But honestly I would never suggest moving to a new build of Windows through Windows Updates. It is better and safer to do that after making a fresh USB Flash Drive using the Media Creation Tool. Long as it was made recently it will have the latest build of the OS you chose to put on it. Once this is made, keep it as you can use it on any system. It not only allows to do an in-place upgrade to that latest build within an older Win10 build such as yours, but also allows you to boot to it and do a clean install if ever needed.

At this point a clean install sounds like your best bet if your System Restore Points are too old.

lol, these people should be very stupid if they don't know what are they doing

Well, something similar happen to me. why? because l am using this stuff and secdvr disappeared, so l had to install it again and l do it. Well, some of the services doesn't exist, but l don't need them anyway.



Well, l suggest to use this build which is the stable in your experience.

Bad, been using SU10 a long time, too long. Probably more than two years. I do set up restore points often, and always have when prompted by SU10.

Regardless, I'm done with the program entirely now, and off on my quest to fix my install without having to freshly install windows from a blank drive.

I don't have anything I really *need* that isn't also downloadable, but it's a pain in the butt doing all that, and is only a last resort.

I'll be doing the Media Creation Tool technique next.

I just need to discover if I need my Windows Bitlocker code or not. If I do, I'll have to wait a month to find it, as I explained above.
