I was having a problem with my Firewall and I decided to use the refresh Windows option on the install disc to roll back Windows, but keep my files and settings. Worked like a charm, but now I have 2 instances of Win 8 on boot....even after I deleted the Windows.old files on C drive. How can I get rid of the 2nd instance to boot without having to select a boot option?
my previous problem thread that lead to the refresh Windows...
I am having a problem with Windows 8 64 bit system's Firewall. It is stopped, when I click run in services it says ---------------------------
Services
---------------------------
Windows could not start the Windows Firewall on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 5.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
dependencies are
Base Filtering Engine
microsoft Windows Filtering Platform
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
SCOM Server Process Launcher
RPC Endpoint Mapper
Windows Firewall Authorization Driver
I am running ESET 5 Antivirus
I was worried about Windows Command Processor. I keep getting a mysterious CMD window that would pop up everything I'd log into Windows. I was toying around with disabling all non Windows services and restarting to isolate the cause. It was when I went back to a normal boot that I had this happen. Ideas? Thanks in advance
