Enes, no argument there.  But, and I've seen it again and again, this approach often starts getting used where it's entirely inappropriate, and madness ensues.

That's the primary reason I recommend the use of what I'll broadly call Windows Repair Techniques and Utilities.  It also has the added plus of potentially catching other "issues in the making" that haven't as yet exhibited themselves that a more laser focused method would not.

And your suggestion of an offline scan is an excellent one.  I personally don't think it's going to find anything, given the symptoms (the like of which I've encountered before due to Windows itself having screwed itself up somehow), but it absolutely never, ever hurts to do an offline scan for the sake of thoroughness, and preferably as one of the early steps, if not the very first.

Yes, but it sounds that the issue is beyond repairing , a clean start is what is required here ,  keeping the problem aint gonna help

That I'm sure of

Not if you care about keeping all your previously installed Store Apps or regular applications.

You have an option to keep your user data files, but not apps, and most people I know do not want to lose all their installed software.  This is why I stopped recommending the Reset option long ago.  I keep hoping that Microsoft is going to eventually make Reset have a "Keep apps and user data" option like a Repair Install does, but no on eI know has reported the appearance of same.

Christo,

             First, for yourself and others for future reference, never, never, never attempt to tweak Windows Security by manually downloading anything like a specific MSI unless you are specifically doing so under the direction of a Microsoft Engineer.  That way can very often lie madness!

My standard advice with regard to any significant peculiarity with regard to when a known built-in component or feature of Windows 10 is misbehaving is not going to change:

1. Using SFC (System File Checker) and DISM (Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management) to Repair Windows 8 & 10

then, if that doesn't solve the problem move on to

2. Doing a Windows 10 Repair Install or Feature Update Using the Windows 10 ISO file

Step one is usually enough, but there are rare occasions when you do need to do a repair install of Windows 10 much like repair installs of other Microsoft software like Office.

No, it's not, at least not as a first step.   A repair install completely replaces the existing Windows 10 installation with a new one, just like a Reset (and former Refresh) did, but allows you to keep your apps and files.

As my own extended instruction set, Britechguy’s Standard Advice Regarding Windows 10 Issues and Their Repair,
says at the end, after discussing doing a completely clean reinstall, "I never choose the “thermonuclear option,” the completely clean reinstall, until it's clear that this is the only viable option. I hate having to go through all the work of reconfiguring a machine from scratch if that can reasonably and safely be avoided."

It's always worth trying SFC/DISM, followed by a Repair Install if necessary, before ever considering a Reset or Completely Clean Install.  I haven't had to advance beyond a Repair Install for several years now.  It's only been necessary fewer times than I can count on one hand.

Fanus
When you run the Media Creation Tool, after it got a few things together, you
will be presented with a screen with Legal, Support, Back and Next buttons, and
a radio button which, by default, is set to Upgrade this PC. Press down arrow
once which will give you the option to create an ISO file. I am at that point
now and ready to press Next. Let us hope this process will do it, because
nothing else so far has. I am following the steps provided by Brian Vogel. I
hope we both will be successful. This is a nasty thing and I have absolutely no
idea what could have caused it.
kind regards
Christo

Hello Brian

I have more or less the same problem as Christo and I find no repair option when running the iso. There are only options for installing or downloading an iso file for installation on other machines, so how does one access the repair item?

Hi tech gurus

I trust you are all well and safe where you are.

I am trying to cope.

1. May I bother you?

With NVDA, one can mark a block of text which one needs to delete.

To do that, you press nvda+shftf9 to mark the beginning of the block
and nvda+shftf10 to mark the end of the block.

How is that done with JAWS?

2. how does one join JAWS mailing list? I am asking this, because I
tried to join in but without success.

Your assistance in this regard is appreciated in advance.

Sieghard,
            Please do not put words into my mouth that I did not say, and specifically qualified.  I have had many blind individuals do this process individually.  They absolutely CAN do it independently.  That is a completely separate issue than whether they want to, and I have clearly said as much.
            I did not say, nor imply, that any individual, blind, sighted, or in-between should or must do anything.  It is intellectually dishonest to act as if I did.  Cherry picking a small segment of what I said, and I did say what you quoted, sans the rest of the qualifying context is just plain dishonest.
            And I've already said that if this individual cannot or will not do it herself, and she has no one in her personal circle that can or will do it, that the next logical step is, and I quote myself: Hire someone.

Morning All, or whatever time it is where you are.

Gmail address question.

I have only 1 Gmail address account set up. Using W10 newest and Jaws 2020.

Lets say the address I have set up is:

x.xxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com

Itt works just fine.

Now if I try to send me a message using the address:

xxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com x (with out the dot after the first x) it still arrives in the Gmail inbox. How can that be?

Sounds strange to me, but many things do, and wondering if anyone has had this happen?

Thanks
