Windows 8 regenerate damage problem/backup duplicate and what is this "Windows.old"?

Greetings!

Currently, I'm new with Windows 8 and more than 3 months, I noticed my laptop is more slower to start-I recently installed the Adobe Suite as my largest software, as well as other essentials if you're curious.

So, I just tried the good old system restore to see if the unknown blunders can be cancelled. Unfortunately, without success, I decided to update the system.

Unfortunately once more after refreshing, the registry has been cleaned, but my software is still present in the neighbouring internal disk drive. At the same time, disk space in the disk drive that contains the operating system seems to have been mysteriously consumed (to about 40 GB free to only 15 GB free)

Do you have any explanation and the solution to this? I would be very grateful for a quick response.
Thank you for your time.

--------------------EDIT-------------------------
So I found the duplication - there is a 'Windows.old' containing my old system to front. Haha, what a relief

Now, my questions are, 1) is it possible to be able to use/activate this beyond the parameters of operating system (from windows.old) again? (2) is it safe to upload it like any other normal folder (windows.old)? (3) is it safe to just manually remove my software (because it is devoid of its registers) and reinstall them again? Or you guys can even have the best solution for this.

Any answer would be welcome.
Thank you in advance to those who have an overview on this :)

Hello

Here are answers to your questions:
1 years. Laughing out loud
2 years. Yes, if you want, you can delete the Windows.old folder using this method:
3 years. Yes.
Hope that answers your query, good luck :)

  • After that update to os2 my watch lights, anyone else have this problem? News about what causes this or how to fix?

    MY Watch has been completely shut down so I let it charge until it takes 80% then I started the updating process. During this time, that my phone was next to the watch, the Watch has never removed the charger and my phone is up to date with 9.3. It has been updated and the screen was black then I touched the face of the watch and nothing. So I tried the buttons on the side and nothing.

    Hi Ian - try the following steps:

    On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: My Watch (tab) > general > accessibility > VoiceOver > if they are currently enabled, disable VoiceOver and screen curtain.

    If not, remove your watch from the charger and try to restart or if it does not, force its restart:

    • Restart: Press and hold the side button until you see the cursor off the power; Drag the slider to turn off; Press and hold down the side button until you see the Apple logo.
    • Force the restart: press and hold the side button and the digital Crown for about 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

    If your watch still does not work, try to load again for a few hours before trying again.

    If the problem persists then, I suggest you contact Apple Support (mail service may be available) or make a booking Genius Bar in order to have your watch checked under warranty:

  • I have problems keeping records and files of the administrator and the user separate in my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700) under Windows Vista Home Premium.

    I have problems separating records and files of the administrator and the user. My computer is a laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700), used as a home computer only by myself, I like to keep the two distinct roles, but am unable to as Vista seems to be considered as one and the same. This scenario has arisen as follows:

    Initially, when I bought the laptop - approx. 18 months back - Windows Vista Home Premium was preinstalled, with the name 'Administrator' as an administrator. To customize the operating system and to use safely, I installed a user 'Renault', as a Standard account user.

    After awhile, I changed the name of the Director of "Renault", for reasons I have can not remember now. This caused Vista to combine folders and files of the two "users" in one, I found difficult to deal with, that I could not operate my laptop as just a Standard user, but is still considered the "administrator." On the one hand, this greatly increased spam in my email accounts. So I tried to reset the name of the administrator as 'Administrator' itself and keep my user name as "Renault", as originally the case.  But Vista me has failed to create a new user under the name "Administrator". So I created a new user under the name "System administrator", with administrative privileges. This has been accepted by Vista.

    But I forgot to change the user account for 'Renault', on the Standard account, so there was BOTH administrator accounts at the same time on my laptop! I realized that now only. The net result was that all the files that I created under the system administrator user were still being displayed under the user account of Renault. A few days back, I realized this and tried to separate the files correctly, but it has not been possible. No matter what I copied the account of the user in the files under the system administrator account, the files have been copied on account of the user himself.

    I tried to fix this by changing the name of the user account in something very different, AND as a Standard user. but this also does not work, as all folders and files under the administrator account system shows it as being under the user account of "Renault" only!

    Then, I deleted the user 'Renault' from the list of the user, but he was not yet of any help. Whenever I tried to create a new file under the system administrator, Vista responds with the message, "C:\user\Rajaram folder is not present. Will I create a new? ", which defeat the same purpose of my tent to isolate the administrator account and the user account.

    SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE WITH A SOLUTION, - OTHER THAN REFORMATTING MY C:\ DISK AND REINSTALL VISTA AGAIN - TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS, IT SEEMS TO ME YOU HAVE CREATED AND HELP ME TO HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT AND OTHER UNIQUE STANDARD USER ACCOUNTS PROPERLY ISOLATED.

    I would be always grateful for a quick and helpful response.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply. It was very helpful / sorry your proposed solution has not solved my problem. Kind regards. -Rajaram77

    Better to delete the user account except the one that was built in the administrator account that you renamed. Before this backup all your data files of these user accounts.
    Then rename the buil into account administrator as 'administrator '. Then you create another administrator account and use it and never the user built in Administrator account and leave it alone.

    For about a week now that I get a lot of 'freeze' and try to eliminate contradictory processes that cause my Vista Home Premium 32-bit w / SP1 system to "lock" onto me.

    I tried but can't do a restore effective because none of my points of store go back enough to solve the problem.

    My system has installed significantly since turning off half of the services non-Microsoft configured to run at startup.

    But every time I launch msconfig.exe I get this error message-"a problem when processing custom tools manifest file (C:\Windows\system32\MSCFGTLC. '"). XML ".

    Hello ch4rlie1949,

    Run The System File Checker utility:

    To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the appropriate Microsoft versions.

    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search .
    2. Right-click cmd in the programs list and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue
    3. To order invites, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc)

    This analysis may take some time to complete. When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved. Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

    Or are you asking how to make a backup of the entire computer, including Windows 7 and your files? You can burn this image on disks, but you will need DVD instead of CD.

This will restore your computer to its exact state when the image has been made - which will save you the trouble of having to reinstall Windows 7 and installed everything currently again, and it takes much less time to do.

    1. click on the Start Menu and type "Save" then click on back up your files.

    2. then click on create a system image.

    3 select the location where to save the image of your system, and then click Next.

    4. check your discs to back up, and then click Next.

    5. verify the settings, and then click Start backup to start.

    6. once the backup is complete, it asks to create a system repair disc, click Yes.

    7. Insert a CD or a blank DVD on the hard drive, then click on create disc.
