oh boy. Back online early morning my time. And I thought this issue would be resolved by now. *Smile

Tousdae - The OS is quite frankly totally messed up and probably beyond any repair. Best you back up all your data and reinstall Windows 7 from scratch.

OldMike65: Great hand holding and help. Kudos to you!

 

Then after you download your Windows iso .....READ this Tutorial on how to do a REPAIR INSTALL, read it at least 2 times to make sure you understand. *Smile Here is that link.
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

 

That is NOT correct, a Windows Repair can fix her Windows 10 OS ....

 

Her...

 

Opps .....Thanks ...didn't know *Redface

 

Ok Tousdae its time for me to hit the sheets, I've been up since 5am est .....Catch you tomorrow. Read that Tutorial on how to repair your windows 10.....and also watch the video too!!!! Good Nite dear. *Smile

 

Yes, I know a Win Repair can fix the OS.

But the thing is the OP does not want W10 & prefers W7. With W10 messed up the way it is I am not sure if a repair and a subsequent roll back to W7 is possible. Anyway, hope it works out.

 

hahaha *Smile

Well, it's 4:14 a.m. here. Bed finally! So what happened was I fumbled around for awhile trying stuff to get things to go right. I got confused at times. ... In the end I lost my patience and did a clean install with windows 7 disk. Everything backed up in my "old" file, which was very helpful.

Thanks Mike. I appreciate your time *Smile

 

Ok Dear, Was hoping we could repair your windows 10 1st. But Glad you got your beloved Window 7 back !!! *Smile
Take Care, Mike

 

@Tousdae
Here is a link to Macrium Reflect I was telling you about earlier. This is a Free program that can make a complete image backup of your Windows 7, incase you need to reinstall again. You should make regular image backups every so often for insurance. *Smile

Me too Kinda lol, and I tried, but I was at it for too many hours. I also spent all my free time on Thursday trying to fix this and missed my bedtime by 4 hours.

Yes 7!! Nothing wrong with 7. Maybe it's not as la-tee-da as 10, but it's been solid for me all these years and I don't need pretty *Biggrin I just downloaded that program that you linked me to. I'll check it out *Smile

I haven't been harassed yet to get 10. Wonder how long that'll take. I won't break this time! haha

Thank you! We're neighbors, btw. I'm in RI. Have a great weekend.

 

Well howdy neighbor!! *Smile Here is more info for you.
Extended Support for Windows 7 Will End on January 14, 2020
Just so you know. *Smile

 

Did you run chkdsk /R on the C: drive as it suggests in the dialog?

The log is in event viewer: Chkdsk Log in Event Viewer - Read in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

chkdsk /R reads the drive and tries to move data to new areas if the block is bad, then it takes the block out of use.

You will have to answer Yes to run at boot.

Restart your machine to let it run.

 

If you read all the posts Bill, I Told her that at least 3 times. But She decided to reinstall her Windows 7 using her Windows 7 install disks. She seems to be very happy to be back on Windows 7 *Smile
