  1. Windows 10 Settings file doesn't exist


    Half of apps in hidden folder "WindowsApps" got deleted, i restored almost everything except Settings. "sfc /scannow" and "dism.exe" didn't helped. When i trying to start settings from Powershell as administrator start ms-settings, this error appears:


    start : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.

    At line:1 char:1

    + start ms-settings

    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: : [Start-Process], InvalidOperationException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand


    I also found a command on Internet for Powershell that reinstalls all Windows apps

    Get-AppXPackage foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$$_.InstallLocation \AppXManifest.xml"} , but it showed tons of errors with the same description: "The system cannot find the file specified." and nothing was being restored.

    I really hope i'l get the solution without the Windows reinstalling.

    :)

    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:

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
