    What is best, Repair or Reinstall version 1709...


    Running windows 10 - 64 bit
    I've been trying to repair all the stuff that windows update caused.
    Every time I turn around I find a new problem and problems and more problems.
    The first update attempt froze at 33 percent. The second update attempt installed but looks like
    it did not do a good job.
    It would take me all day to type what is messed up.*Tongue Out
    I'm thinking of doing a reinstall keeping all my personal files and settings.
    Or getting an ISO and try to do a repair.
    Which would be the way to go...Thanks...

    :)

  2. What Is The Best Way To Reinstall All Apps From Previous Win10 Install?

    That's not a bad idea as far as it goes.

    I'd be hopeful that someday there'd be an app that will access the old registry and incorporate the appropriate parts into the new hard drive registry to allow functioning of installed apps - and, of course, copy over the appropriate install directories,
    data directories, log files, whatever...

    It'd be interesting to know what sort of task that'd be. Wonder if it has ever been done?

    Might take a look at the Unix world, see if they do it. It wouldn't help me here now but just for interest....

    I would try to reset keeping your files and see how that works. I would prefer getting a new ISO from MS using the MCT and do a clean install.

    A reset only keeps your apps and you will need to reinstall all programs. Try a repair install first which is basically reinstalling Windows over itself - provided you choose the option Keep Files & Settings.

    You obviously have never done a repair upgrade which usually sorts most issues without needing to reinstall programs.

    Agreed - this is the best option but like any upgrade, backup valuable data first in case crap happens.
