    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

  3. Folder View Settings and Desktop Icon Positions Not Saving


    Lio,

    I tried to download the Step recording, but no matter how long I waited (minutes, not seconds) or what I pressed it never downloaded or it just tried to download other things (junk things!)...
    if you could, please attach the output directly in a post on this thread.

    Thanks for taking this up with ESET, I read your thread over there and it looks as though they need an image from a systme witht eh symptoms since they could not reproduce the problem.

    I took a quick look though this thread and was going to suggest resetting the folders, but Mr. Brink already suggested it here:

    There's been some discussion about malware (real or false postives).
    Some malware and the remediation of it requires system files to be repaired. Follow these two tutorials to check and repair system file corruption.

    SFC Command - Run in Windows 10
    and
    DISM - Repair Windows 10 Image
    5. To Use DISM /RestoreHealth Command

    Please post if any files were repaired - I might want to see the CBS log if anything needed fixing

    Save Window Position

    Hi Shane,

    Saving the window size/position when opening a message to a new window is easy. Simply follow the steps below on how to do so:

    • Open a message in a new window.
    • Press and hold the Ctrl button on your keyboard and click on the
      X button at upper right corner of the window to close it.
    • When you open a message in another window, the size/position of the window should be saved.
    If you have other questions, do let us know.
