Software Update: Windows Repair 3.9.9

Tweaking.com has released a new version of Windows Repair. This program is capable of fixing many problems, such as errors in the registry or with file permissions, or caused by a virus. The repairs are extensive, so it is recommended that you only use the program when there are few other options left. Before it starts the repairs, it offers options to check the hard drive for errors, scan the system files and of course create a backup of the registry and a system restore point. The program can be used for free, even in commercial environments. You can get one for twenty dollars pro license be purchased, which provides additional options and supports the further development of the program. Since version 3.9.6, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in Windows Repair version 3.9.9

• Quick bug fix from v3.9.8, if the computer wasn’t on the internet then the program would never fully open. This was due to the change I made to the code to grab the update info, when calling the connection and waiting for the “still executing” to finish, it never would (since the system wasn’t online), even though it was suppose to time out in cases like that.
  I instead built in my own time out and so now the program will run when not online.

Changes in Windows Repair version 3.9.8

• Updated default permissions for Windows 10 from windows build anniversary version 1607 update build 14393.
• Fixed bug where repair rephrase points wouldn’t work when starting it from the pre-scan window.
• Multiple minor bug fixes.

Changes in Windows Repair version 3.9.7

• Fixed bug where you couldn’t run the program from a network drive. Even though you shouldn’t run the repairs from a network drive due to windows api security, you could still run the program from a network to do other things besides the repairs, this bug has been fixed and the program can run from a network drive again.
• Fixed bug with the run chkdsk at next boot.
• Other small code changes and improvements.
