Confirmed i just clean install with out the internet cable my problem is gone...
i did install 4 times my windows today because of that problem of hight cpu from State Repository Service

Thanks

 

Thanks a lot, I confirm this works for me, despite the powershell command throwing an error towards the end of it's routine (it processes many packages and I suspect the error only affects one of them).

However, do you have any insight as to why a fix for "Taskbar not working" as per your link would fix anything in this case given that this is a different problem?

I'm also trying to isolate the problem further and see if there's a way to fix just the problematic package as opposed to processing all packages with this powershell command.

 

Well, surprise, surprise, this is no longer working for me after reformatting and re-installing Windows 10.
So it must have been a combination of this fix, and whatever else I had previously tried (prior to reformatting) for fixing the issue. none of what I had previously tried had worked, but I suspect it may need a number of different things.
Tried to run the command several times, no errors were seen and the command completes its work, but issue still not resolved.

 

Have you tried the clean reformat without an internet connection?
I couldn't use the powershell command at first because I turned off some of the services (messing with registry editor). If you don't do a clean format, the OS probably still keep your settings.

 

Yes, clean install is what I always do: Boot from Windows install media (USB drive), reformat target drive, install Windows from scratch.


Sadly, I tried without the ethernet cable connected this time and it didn't change a thing. I'm getting the same problem.
The powershell script still does not fix the issue either. Not sure why the powershell trick worked the first time I used it.

 

weird, I start to think maybe it's your hard disk problem. try to use "chkdsk /r" in command prompt to check your hard disk

 

This is my first Reply and my first reply is need to say THANK YOU. You dragged me from hell.

 

I tried this but that still didn't work.

 

Same here, nothing works consistently.
If I reformat and reinstall Windows, none of the fixes will work right away. But eventually the Powershell script will work, usually the next day.
I'm starting to think some time need to pass and Windows automatically fixes something.
I'm saying that because this week, I've been running the Powershell script posted above, as well as a few variants found elsewhere and nothing worked, even if I ran it dozens of times in a row, using different ways for running it (directly running script saved as a ps1 file, from a powershell window, fro a cmd window, from a batch file, from powershell ISE, etc...)

However, after a night sleep, or after coming back from work (more than 8 hours had passed), running the script fixes the issue, the first time that I run it.

I'll try to test this further to confirm, if that's the case, this could (maybe) indicate that Windows runs a scheduled task at some point which cleans up some mess or fixes something yet unidentified, and this may be needed in conjunction to running the Powershell script.

 

I've downloaded the ISO file of Windows 10 FCU using Media Creation Tool on my Hard Disk & transferred it to a USB drive. I've also updated the Windows 10 version to FCU on the Hard Disk. Now I want to Clean Install from the USB drive. But whenever I try I get the error message, "Sorry, Unable to Mount the file".

Just copying an iso file to a USB drive (if that's what you've done) doesn't make it automatically bootable. It's just a data disk with a file on it.

By contrast, burning such an iso file to a DVD does create a bootable DVD.

 

To add to my previous post Clean install of Fall Creators Update and State Repository Service
this appears to be the case.
I reformatted and re-installed Windows and this time didn't run any script, attempt any fix, etc. I just let time pass, putting the PC to sleep at night, light browsing, etc... and 24 to 36 hours later the issue has disappeared.

Still investigating to determine what does Window do to eventually fix it, if I can identify that I could possibly accelerate the process and not have to wait over 24 hours.

 

I am not gonna do a clearn install now because it took me 8 hours to get all my software installed.

 

This seems to work for me, but time will tell.
