Doesn't work for me in Win 10. I get error message: "CmdTool: Failed with hr = 0x80004005. Check C:\Users\DAVIDA~1\AppData\Local\Temp\MpCmdRun.log for more information".

boe - strongly suggest you go carefully through the entire Ten Forum thread at Solved Unable to repair Windows10 using SFC/DISM or in-place upgrade - Windows 10 Forums because I made mistakes with it until I finally got it right.

Solution to dism problem There is a good solution at Solved Unable to repair Windows10 using SFC/DISM or in-place upgrade - Windows 10 Forums It worked for me.

Still cannot find source file for DISM in WIn 10 David Bailey - thanks very much for your two suggestions above, and I did both, but Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in my Win 10 Pro 64-bit still gets Where else should I look? Thanks.

DennisCPA has a great post on this at System Restore doesn't work Solved - Windows 7 Help Forums Really helpful.

Did the registry change recommended here, and the error messages have stopped in both reboot and "refresh" in Devices and Printers. I also notice that there are 10 "recommended" Windows Updates waiting for my 8.1 (which I have not run). Do we know whether any of them is related to this...

Well, doesn't it make a difference to your husband? But glad to see a Mrs. has the savvy to get MS's attention.

amtino and others - Just fyi that I am getting the same 131 "Metadata staging failed" errors - seven at a time on each reboot of 8.1 Pro 64-bit - starting May 12, 2015. Given that amtino has penetrated as far as level 3 and they are saying the right things, I'll wait before doing the registry...

This is a weird problem, but maybe there's an answer. My Dell Optiplex 7010 has two hard drives. On the first and more important hard drive (SATA 0), I am dual-booting Win 7 and 8.1 successfully (both Pro 64-bit), and each has its own partition. The second hard drive (SATA 2) has the ORIGINAL...

Faulting application name: rundll32.exe_aepdu.dll This is still an issue. What is the service, and why isn't this fixed by MS? Thanks.

jimbo - thanks for your detailed info, which is very helpful. Good to know I don't need Avast in 8.1. And I appreciate your info re limitations of Hyper-V. I shall start for the first time soon to try to do virtualization - never saw it before. If there's a good guide for a noob like me...

Altac and others - thanks for your wise suggestions. Question: If I back up data using Cubby or Sugarsync and I'm hit with a ransomware encryption, is it possible my backups will also be infected? I ask because MAYBE the Cubby or SugarSync backup ALSO appears as a "drive" on my PC. Thoughts?

adamf - you write "The detection tool is telling you if you CPU is OK and it is turned on in BIOS - not that something has grabbed it." But I think in Win 7 Avast DID grab it. As soon as I unchecked EHAV in Avast (in Win 7), the MS havdetectiontool gave good results. I already knew my CPU and...

adamf - yes, it's Avast, which I have now actually confirmed on two OSes. Note that I don't have any problem in Win 8.1 where I am NOT using Avast at all. And I found hypervisor only in Win 8, so I don't think there's any connection. I have the problem only in Win 7 where I am using Avast -...
