Hi there.

Couldn't find a better place to post this so if it needs to be moved I apologize in advance.

The very first time I ran SFCFix.exe (latest version, 3.0.2.1) I got the prompt for yes or no ("y" or "n") for allowing internet access to Sysnative servers to download data/files to help in the repair process. It read something like "type "y" (yes) or "n" (no) for online connection with Sysnative servers" and I chose yes however every subsequent time I have run it it doesn't give me the option to choose. I didn't see any activity from the .exe as far as connecting to or downloading anything from your servers. I thought your servers may be blocked here in China where I currently live so after running my VPN software hoping to have a different outcome I closed the CLI and tried again and also rebooted and tried again and found that every subsequent time I ran SFCFix it showed no prompt. I have errors and I'm hoping I can fix them but since the exe doesn't download anything even with the VPN running and it having full permissions in the firewall (and AV) I have installed (Comodo Internet Security Premium, latest version, 12.2.2.8012) I'm unable to try to do this on my own.

There is a thread here related to this titled SFCfix - How to switch to the online mode?

SFCfix - How to switch to the online mode?

which highlights this issue but the OP had gotten it to work again and so didn't ask anymore for help with that aspect. The post by the user S (SFCfix - How to switch to the online mode?) has the suggestion to delete a folder "There should be a niemiro folder on your system. Try deleting it...." I found a folder called SFCFix in C:\ and it made no difference deleting it or rebooting the machine after deleting it. However I didn't find a folder called niemiro

What do I have to do to re-enable this prompt. A registry entry I guess? TIA!

Thanks to everyone here for their time and help. Ideally I would like to try and do this myself before using up you guys' precious time....
 
Hey MFSys,

At the moment we're not automatically uploading any data with SFCFix - we did have some functionality in the tool to upload files in the past, but currently this is disabled. @Tekno Venus correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Are you currently experiencing Windows Update issues we could assist with? Or just looking for general information about the tool?
 
By the way, the niemiro folder is in c:\users\Your-User-Name\AppData\Local.
I.e., c:\users\Your-User-Name\AppData\Local\niemiro
