Что делает Microsoft Software Repair Tool для Windows 10

Фото: @futurecomputers

Инструмент Microsoft Software Repair Tool (или Windows Self-Healing Tool) стал доступен сравнительно недавно. При этом пока нет официальной страницы с описанием утилиты, и сама программа предоставляет мало информации о своей работе.

Как работает Software Repair Tool

Попробуем вместе с порталами Ghacks и Winhelponline разобраться, что она делает.

Первый экран является практически бесполезным с точки зрения информации о функциональности — на нем выводится сообщение: “Появились проблемы с вашим устройством Surface? Данный инструмент позволит обновить устройство и устранить программные проблемы”. Тем не менее, запускать инструмент устранения неполадок можно на любых устройствах Windows 10, а не только на планшетных компьютерах Surface.

После того, как вы примите лицензионное соглашение (конечно, после его детального прочтения) и нажмете кнопку “Proceed to scan and fix”, если в системе отключена функция восстановление системы, утилита предложит включить ее. Таким образом, вы сможете восстановить состояние операционной системы, если инструмент устранения неполадок не сможет справиться с проблемами.

Далее процесс устранения неполадок запустится автоматически без возможности остановить его с помощью элементов интерфейса.

Открывшийся экран сообщает о некоторых операциях, которые будут выполнены программой:

• 1. Восстановление системных компонентов и обнаружение поврежденных файлов (Repair System Components and detect corrupt files)
  • Создание точки восстановления системы (Create System Restore Point)
  • b. Принудительная синхронизация системного времени и даты (Resync System Date and Time)
  • с. Сброс системных настроек (Reset System Settings)
  • d. Переустановка системных приложений (Reinstall System Applications)
• 2. Восстановление поврежденных компонентов системы (Repair system corruption)
• 3. Обновление Windows (Windows Update)

Предоставляемая информация дает общее представление о работе Software Repair Tool, но не содержит подробной информации, а сама утилита не позволяет запускать только отдельные опции восстановления.

Очевидно, что многие пользователи могут не захотеть переустанавливать все системные приложения или сбрасывать все настройки системы, например, если ранее в конфигурацию вносились изменения.

Под капотом

На сайте Winhelponline сделали подробный анализ выполняемых Software Repair Tool операций. Среди действий, не упомянутых на стартовом экране утилиты, можно отметить:

• Сброс Winsock, настроек прокси и фаервола.
• Переустановка всех встроенных приложений с помощью PowerShell.
• Очистка куки и файлов авторизации WSUS.
• Сброс Магазина Windows с помощью wsreset.exe.
• Запуск заданий обновления Windows и автоматического обновления приложений.
• Регистрация нескольких dll файлов.
• Очистка компонентов с помощью DISM.
• Восстановление образа Windows с помощью PowerShell/DISM.
• Восстановления стандартной схемы электропитания.

Software Repair Tool выполняет что-то среднее между полным сбросом системы и ручным запуском отдельных операций восстановления и устранения неполадок.

Несмотря на то, что утилита может быть привлекательной для пользователей из-за своей простоты, ее использование может быть лишним, в зависимости от испытываемой проблемы. Однако, если вы не можете определить зависимость проблемы от определенного компонента Windows 10, тогда имеет смысл выполнить задачи восстановления для возвращения нормальной функциональности системы.

Отметим, что если вы вносили изменения в настройки системы или удаляли встроенные приложения (например, изменяли настройки конфиденциальности Windows 10), то вам придется повторить эти действия после работы Software Repair Tool.

Нами была проверена работа Microsoft Software Repair Tool на системах Windows 64-bit версий 1511 (Threshold 2) и 1607 (Anniversary Update), при этом не было выявлено каких-либо проблем после применения.

Repair a Windows Image

Repair a Windows image using DISM. You can repair offline Windows image in a WIM or VHD file, or an online Windows image. An online Windows image will also attempt to repair itself if it becomes unserviceable. The repair source for this operation is the same source that is used for Features on Demand and is determined by Group Policy settings. For more information, see Configure a Windows Repair Source. When you use the DISM tool to repair an online or offline image, you can use the /Source argument with the /RestoreHealth argument to specify additional repair source locations to use to search for the required files.

For a quick check of an online image, you may be able to use the command: sfc /scannow to scan and repair files.

For a more extensive check that can repair issues with the store, use DISM /Cleanup-Image .

To check if an image is repairable

Scan the image to check for corruption. This operation will take several minutes. For example, at a command prompt, type the following command:

Check the image to see whether any corruption has been detected. For example, at a command prompt, type:

When you use the /CheckHealth sfc argument, the DISM tool will report whether the image is healthy, repairable, or non-repairable. If the image is non-repairable, you should discard the image and start again. If the image is repairable, you can use the /RestoreHealth argument to repair the image.

To repair an image

Use the /RestoreHealth argument to repair the image. For example, to repair an offline image using a mounted image as a repair source, at a command prompt, type the following command:

Or to repair an online image using some of your own sources instead of Windows Update, type:

If you do not specify a /Source for the repair files, the default location for Features on Demand is used. For more information, see Configure a Windows Repair Source. If you specify more than one /Source, the files are copied from the first location where they are found and the rest of the locations are ignored. You can use /LimitAccess to prevent the DISM tool from using Windows Update as a repair source or as a backup repair source for online images.

Repairing images during servicing

In some cases, an image can be corrupted while modifying it with DISM. Use /Cleanup-MountPoints to repair it. This command will not unmount images that are already mounted, nor will it delete images that can be recovered using the /Remount-Image command.

Configure a Windows Repair Source

A repair source is a location that has files that are used to restore or enable Windows optional features or repair a corrupted Windows image. You can use Windows Update or files on your network as a repair source. For more information, see Repair a Windows Image.

Choose a Repair Source

Windows Update is the default repair source, but you can configure Group policy to specify one or more network locations that have the files required to restore a Windows feature or repair a corrupted operating system.

Use WindowsВ Update to restore optional features and repair Windows images

Windows Update is used by default if it’s allowed by the policy settings on the computer.

You can configure Windows Update as a backup repair source. If you’re using Windows Update as a primary or backup repair source, make sure your firewall is configured to allow access to Windows Update.

Use a network location to restore optional features and repair Windows images

You can use a mounted Windows image from a WIM file as a source to restore optional features and repair a corrupted operating system. For example, c:\test\mount\Windows. For more information about capturing a Windows image as a WIM file, see Capture Images of Hard Disk Partitions Using DISM.

You can use a running Windows installation as a source to restore optional features by sharing the c:\Windows folder on your network.

You can use a Windows side-by-side folder from a network share or from a removable media, such as the Windows DVD, as the source of the files. For example, z:\sources\SxS.

You can use a Windows image (.wim) file on a network share as a source to restore optional features. You must specify the index of the Windows image in the .wim file that you want to use and you must use a Wim: prefix in the path to identify this file format. For example, to specify index 3 in a file named contoso.wim, type: Wim:\\network\images\contoso.wim:3.

When specifying a source:

• Only use RTM media regardless of whether the source is a WIM or a mounted Windows image. Refresh media has older file versions excluded from the media and the target operating system may need these files.
• Make sure the source is patched to the latest Cumulative Update. If the target OS is patched to a higher level than the source, adding features or repairing Operating Systems may fail because the target OS needs updated files that are not present in the source.

Set Group Policy

You can use Group Policy to configure your preferred repair souce.

Configure Group Policy for Feature on Demand

Open the group policy editor. For example, on a computer that is running WindowsВ 10, from the Start screen, type Edit Group Policy, and then select Edit Group Policy to open the Group Policy Editor.

Click Computer Configuration, click Administrative Templates, click System, and then double-click the Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair setting.

Select the settings that you want to use for Features on Demand.

Maintaining a Repair Source

If you don’t use Windows Update as the repair source for features and automatic corruption repair, consider the following guidelines for maintaining a repair source.

Servicing updates

Keep any repair source current with the latest servicing updates. If you’re using an image from a WIM file for features, you can use DISM to service the image. For more information, see Mount and Modify a Windows Image Using DISM. If you’re using an online Windows installation shared on your local network as a repair image, make sure that the computer has access to Windows Update.

Multilingual images

You must include all of the relevant language packs with your repair source files for the locales your image supports. If you try to restore a feature without all of the language components that the Windows installation requires for that feature, the installation will fail.

You can install additional language packs after a feature is restored.

Repair Windows 10 using USB drive

Original Title: recovery help

I installed a recent update to my windows 10 pro 64 bit machine. The first problem after the update is that I lost some of the icons on my task bar as well as control of anything on it including the start button. I did the SFC Scannow under the command line to correct the issue, which it didn’t then tried the DISM command function which didn’t help either so I tried to go back to an earlier restore point and they have disappeared. So I tried to complete a reset of the machine and keep my files with no success. Now when I boot up the machine it’s stuck on trying to repair and diagnose the machine boot loop and cannot reset the machine. Obviously I need to keep the files that are on the machine so what I would like to know is can I run windows 10 from a USB drive long enough to recover the files from the drives on the machine before I do another clean install and as alternative repair the OS from a USB flashdrive

I suggest you to perform start up repair from Windows Recovery Environment. Follow the below procedure and check if it resolves the issue.

To get to Windows Startup Settings in the Windows Recovery Environment. You may follow the steps provided below and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

If you don’t have a disk or USB, download the ISO from a working computer and try creating a bootable disk or USB.

If you can’t start your PC, follow these instructions to get to the Windows Recovery Environment.

Start your computer from the installation media, Insert the DVD or USB flash drive and restart your computer.

If you see a message asking you to “Press any key to boot from DVD,” do so. If you don’t see the message, you might need to change the boot order in your computer’s BIOS settings so that it first starts from the DVD or USB.

When you see the Install Windows page, tap or click Repair your computer to start the Windows Recovery Environment.

In the Windows Recovery Environment, on the Choose an option screen, tap or click Troubleshoot.

Tap or click, advanced options and then click on Startup repair.

I am having the exact same issue. I tried to create a DVD but got error code 0x80004005 six times so I gave up on the DVD idea. Then I created a USB and it at least functions normally! However, I just tried the Start Up Repair. let it run and then tried to boot my system. Gets to a light blue screen with the White dotted circle turning and has been that way for hours. After almost a full day finally the opening Picture comes up. I click on the pic to send me to the sign in page, then sign in. Well it still does not load!

I have been dual booting with my system. I have an SSD with Windows 7 and a HDD with a version of Windows 10 Pro from the Insider Program. Since I knew windows 7 license owners are to get a free upgrade to windows 10 I did some asking around in Microsoft Community and was told by some monitors that I would be able to upgrade my Windows 7 and still be able to use the Windows 10 Pro on the other drive and dual boot. I was dual booting to begin with and this computer was running fantastic until I made that upgrade attempt. Now I am stuck with this issue that no one seems to know how to fix. What are my options here? I believe one issue here is the fact that my internet will not connect since I can not get windows to load. I believe that is needed to actually fix this issue but I am not sure. For some reason that went away as well. I say that because the light blue screen with the circle I believe is the computer trying to access to update the Windows 10 Pro to get the load back. I have clue how to enter safe mode to see if I will be able to at least get the internet back up and running. Any clues??

If I must leave the Insider Program to resolve this I will need to know what all I must do to stop being a member and get my free copy of Windows 10 to replace the windows 7 if that is my only option. I do not want to stop but I need my PC back running as it was before this fiasco. Any help at all anyone can give me to get this fixed would be wonderful. I am stuck running windows 7 and time is running out. HELP. Getting real Frustrated over this mess!!

By the way I forgot to mention there have never been any error codes during the repair attempts. I also tried using the software in bedded within windows to fix itself with the same results. I also tried Reset option as well. Nothing works.
