>>107736707>WindowsFound the problem
>>107736707Level N error.
>>107736707If you're on windows 11 there's an option called "fix problems using windows update" it'll reinstall the entire OS but keep the files, it's essentially just a fresh install. Windows 10 doesn't have it IIRC.
>>107736825I'll give this a go, I'm about to do a fresh install anyway so there's nothing to lose.Thanks anon.
>>107737029NP! hopefully it works c:
>>107737087Oh yeah and I almost forgot, windows like to keep old files in a folder called "windows.old", you can safely wipe it if you want. There's also storage sense if you need extra storage :p
>>107736747I Agree....>>107736707>Nothing works anymore*this* time... Make an image...Get it all precisely how you want it and image it off. Then you boot a VM from that image... Shit goes tits up, reboot the VM and it's 'fixed'...Alternately, look into the install scripting for winhoes, and you can actually automate the deployment. Not worth the hassle of doing once, but if that's every 20min... just bootin' from a USB and commin' back with a cuppa is much more sensible. Could/should be done by then...
