Windows 10: Missing os files in C:\Windows but not in C:\Windows.old\Windows

What's the problem?

Ok so I can't boot into Windows Login Screen after the boot screen due to missing os files in C:\Windows.


More Info - Windows boots from C:\Windows and C:\Windows.old\Windows has all the os files but C:\Windows is missing os files.


Question - Is there any way to copy these missing files that are not in C:\Windows from C:\Windows.Old\Windows to C:\Windows? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

C windows installer folder - Delete?

He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink
Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

Like:
First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
Then type this in command mode as admin
mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

 

C++ for windows...

Could anybody point me to a great windows based C++ programming platform, there's Borland Turbo C++ for windows but you gotta pay for it... Are there any more 3rd party applications that are freeware, which has complete headers and stuff... Just wanted to refresh the rusty c++ skills for my new job.

Thanks in advance

 

Generating a .txt based file list in Windows 7

No, that > bla.txt is the target file to write to. You could use a wildcard in the argument, ie c:\windows\*.txt which would list all dlls in c:\windows. But adding that to a simple right-click would be tricky.

Basically you would execute fancyfile.bat c:\windows\*.txt, fancyfile.bat would then write all .txt files to bla.txt.
