[SOLVED] how to reset sfcfix y/n question?

[bro]

Every time I run sfcfix after the first time I no longer get the communication question of y/n. First time I ran sfcfix I put 'N' just to see if it would work, all I got was this:

I tried running it again to answer Y, but no longer get the question screen. how do i reset it? or does it matter?

Hi bro. :welcome:

If you refer to this message:

Read More:

Will you allow SFCFix to communicate with Sysnative servers?
Most file system and registry corruptions cannot be repaired when this tool works standalone. Sysnative's central servers can be used to give direction on repairing registry corruptions and finding good replacements for damaged files using aggregate data compiled over thousands of computers. Details of your Windows Update configuration may be transmitted to our servers for furtheranalysis as part of this process. No personally identifiable information will becollected. Although the process is entirely opt-in, if you choose not to accept this transmission the tool can operate only in a reduced function mode and the majority of corruptions will not be repaired automatically.
Would you like this communication to take place? Type "y" for yes or "n" for no and press enter to continue:

You can re-get it removing completely %localappdata%\niemiro folder (c:\users\%username%\appdata\local\niemiro).
Sfcfix should be closed when you do it.

Yes that is the screen i'm referring to. But I cannot locate the appdata folder.

OK I found the folder through dos and deleted it, ran scffix to hit y this time (Thanks!)
Now my problem is that I still no further than before. It scanned some windows update registry (said stage 1 failed on server) and after stage 5, it said "failed to create zip file with errno 2" 4 times and this is all that is shown in the new log:

Also, this folder needs deleted every time to answer yes to communicate with servers.

Hello, main reason I'm doing this is because I'm getting SXS errors with trying to start a couple of games and Event Viewer pane that refuse to load from mmc snap in failure, which all (games and event viewer) seem to get fixed and randomly fail simultaneously (everything else works fine afaik). First fix was from updating graphics drivers, that no longer works, then everything failed again randomly, second fix was from running Tron script, then everything failed randomly again, no longer works. So now I'm doing this. When event viewer was working, I found invalid syntax on line 0 of one of the amd64 sxs xml files, for whatever that is worth.
Dropbox - CBS (2).log

These files sound familiar from when event log was working (viewing the file that fails when trying to launch game that was failing to open)

Looks like the first file was what was causing my problems, good to see the other file fixed too. Why do these specific files go bad, go good, then bad again? I feel like I'll have to do this over again in the future.

 

[BrianDrab]

Looks like you are good to go now. Corruption can happen for all sorts of reasons. Computer is powered off without cleanly shutting down first (i.e. pulling the plug), conflicts with Antivirus Software, bad update and on and on. You shouldn't have to do this very often at all. If you do you likely have bad RAM, disk or processor.

Is there anything else I can assist with?

 

[bro]

Unless these files are susceptible to some specific common issue I can focus on and prevent then I think that's it. A relief it's fixable without total overhaul. Thanks for all the help!!!

 

[BrianDrab]

No problem. Take care.
