Performance :: Errors In Raxco Instant Recovery
Oct 31, 2015
I upgraded to WIN10 from WIN7. I use Raxco Instant Recovery to make snapshots of WIN10 in this case. I'm on the main snapshot, and I created a copy called the 2nd snapshot, which I can revert to, to save my bacon if need be. I discovered upon completion of updating the main snapshot to the second snapshot, that there were 1,974 errors in the process shown in the log. WIN10 seems to run OK for the most part.
Later I had to boot to the second snapshot because I had a problem with the task bar not responding on two occasions in the first snapshot. After booting in the second snapshot, I copied it to the first snapshot to eliminate the problem, and at the end, it showed 2,125 errors in the log. My question is, if these errors are just crap that migrated during the upgrade from WIN7 to 10 or do you think there are legitimate errors in my WIN10?

I just upgraded to win10. at boot up, my raxco instant recovery app is supposed to initiate a progress bar that gives you 10 seconds to click f1 in case you are having a problem, and you can retreat to a different snapshot. The progress bar isn't materializing. How I can correct this. I didn't have this problem in win7.

I recently re-installed W10, and used Kari's tutorial to move the Users folder to a partition on another disk, using the sysprep routine.
This is a list of W10s Environment variables that apply to my account (MS/user/admin):
Those that relate to my account all seem to be pointing to the right location (H:Users).
However, until I turned off 'Sync my settings', the event viewer was littered with errors regarding ESENT--Extensible Storage (database) Engine, recorded multiple times per minute in an infinitely repetitive sequence: Events 494, 454, 488 & 413. The 494 event is the trigger:
SettingSyncHost (2876) {068B89D8-0F81-40D5-A335-0959E66CAECB}: Database recovery failed with error -1216 because it encountered references to a database, 'C:UsersomnesAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsSettingSyncmetastoremeta.edb', which is no longer present. The database was not brought to a Clean Shutdown state before it was removed (or possibly moved or renamed). The database engine will not permit recovery to complete for this instance until the missing database is re-instated. If the database is truly no longer available and no longer required, procedures for recovering from this error are available in the Microsoft Knowledge Base or by following the "more information" link at the bottom of this message.
Any way of directing the SettingSyncHost process to the right location? The drive/partition label (C:) should be H:, but otherwise the path is correct, and the db file (which is a hidden, system file) exists in that location.
It's not a problem for at present, as I don't have any devices that use that account, and have turned off 'Sync my settings' via Account settings; but it may be in the future, and may also be an issue for those who have moved the Users folder and have devices that give them that syncing feeling.
Incidentally, virtually all references in the MKB describe permissions rather than location problems, and the "more information" link in Event Viewer (Event Log Online Support) provides no information (Page Not Found).

Experienced plenty of issues with win 10 installations after upgrades from say WIN 7. The issues are just about all related to the disappearance of MS Edge and the Start Menu.
One should run the SFC /scannow command , followed by the more complicated DISM command and then finally the very complicated powershell command.
Almost no replies are made after one runs the SFC command and even the DISM command and no errors are found.
What should one conclude if the SFC command and the DSIM command report no errors? Secondly what is the best next step in trying to recover from the issue at hand?

So in my bootlog i have a dozen of BOOTLOG_NOT_LOADED lines as seen in this screen shot of my bootlog...
These errors are causing my load times to go on as long as 3 mins and alot of sitting at a black screen, also safe mode is a bit better and often results in getting past the black screen alot faster.
I do have a recovery disc for a last resort.But as you can see these go on for quite along time and carry on going like this for the next 3-4 thousand lines .

I have tried several times to create a system recovery drive on a USB.
Followed the instructions to the letter, and used two different brand, brand new USB's.
After initial start up it says I need a USB with at least 8 GB capacity, which these USB's have. But nothing happens, it just keeps asking for a USB after one has been inserted.

I have recently updated to Version 1511 and thought I would try to create a recovery drive on a USB having been unsuccessful when trying in the earlier Windows 10. This time it seemed to be working with the system files box checked, though it seemed to take an age before the USB was required to be inserted. It said I would require a USB of 8GB minimum capacity so I used a 16GB size.
When it finished creating the drive ( I did not see the actual finish but no messages were left on screen) I noticed that the USB had only a little over 1 GB of information loaded.
I would probably find it useful if I could be told what files I should expect to find on the USB and the size of each. The files in my USB are titled: boot; efi; sources; bootmgr; bootmgr.efi and reagent. The sources file ( 1GB) is by far the largest.

I recently purchased a new Windows 10 laptop (HP), which I presumed is a 'clean install' and I'm mooching around looking into how to create a recovery disk. Anyway, when I go into control panel, underneath System and Security I see a link that says; Back up and Restore (Windows 7).I'm wondering why there's a reference to Windows 7 on my Windows 10 device?

Just installed a new M.2 SSD into an MSI GE72 laptop running Windows 10. First used MSI's Burn Recovery tool to copy the recovery to a USB flash drive. Restored onto the SSD and wiped the HDD. The resulting partitions on the SSD are shown in the attached image. So I end up with 6 partitions:
1 - EFI Recovery
2 - Hidden Windows partition
3 - C: or first usable partition
4 - 900 MB Recovery partition
5 - D: or second usable partition
6 - MSI's OS recovery image partition
The issue I'm having is that I'd like to collapse partitions 3 and 5 into one large partition for the C: drive. I am unable to do this because of the 900 MB recovery partition between them. Disk Management does not give me any options for this partition. Since I plan on dual booting with Linux installed on a second partition on the HDD, I assume I can use GParted to move the recovery partition to partition 5. I also assume that by doing this, I'll break the recovery function as WinRE is still pointing to partition 4. Also, since I'll then collapse the two usable partitions into one, the partition numbers of that 900 MB partition and the MSI OS recovery partition will change. I'm guessing that there is a way to update the settings but I've run across different forum threads that say the OEM recoveries are custom set up by them. So any generic Windows 10 guides I find may not be applicable.
Of course, I have no basis for a lot of these assumptions as this is my first foray into a Windows OS after Windows 7. Also my first time owning a machine with UEFI, which seems to be fighting against me installing Linux.
I don't understand why MSI would decide to split the large usable partition into two? Even more confused as to why they decided it was a great idea to create an untouchable 900 MB recovery partition in between them?
Maybe also try to convince me how UEFI and Windows 10 is so much better than Windows 7 with a custom recovery in a less than 5 GB custom made recovery partition?

I'm running Win 10 Version 1211 (build 10586.11) - i.e. the latest build with the latest update.
I want to create a new recovery drive but when I get to the window that says "Connect a USB Flash Drive" and the process comes to a dead stop.
-I'm using the same 16GB thumb drive that was previously used to create a Win 8.1 recovery drive so it should be good
-The thumb drive appears in File Explorer and I can read and write to the drive so the system sees it
I should also mention...
-I have attempted this with and without "include system files" checked.
-I find it interesting that after a thumb drive is inserted, I don't have the icon in my system tray that I would normally select to eject the thumb drive.
Nonetheless, I can read and write to the thumb drive. I've inserted the same thumb drives in another computer with Win 10 build 10240 and I get the USB eject icon on my system tray

On my HDD there are two partitions, one with Win 7 and one with Win 10, chosen by the Win-Boot-Manager. If I start Win 7 all the recovery points from Win 10 are lost. But starting Win 10 all the "7-points" are still there.

I have upgraded a Win 7 and a Win 8 computers to Win 10. On the Win 7 I used an 8 GB USB Drive for Recovery and it did not use all of the space. On the Win 8 computer I'm getting a message that I need a 32 GB drive. I understand that it may also be backing up my Win 8 information, but 32 GB seems way too much. I hate to waste money on a drive that is not needed.

after performing an upgrade, I have 2 recovery partitions, the same size, one at the beginning of the disk and the new one at the end of the disk
I only need one, right?
Two ideas came to mind:
1 boot into linux, copy the contents of the second partition to the first partition, and then delete the second partition.
2 use EaseUs partition master to delete the first partition and then move the second partition to its place.

I was able to use Instant_Restore_Point under Win 8 (worked great), which I found here: [URL]
But I can't get it to run under Win 10, even after adding (in the appropriate place) these lines:
If instr(objOS.Caption, "Windows 10") Then
GetOS = "Windows 10"
And making the adjustment:If GetOS = "Windows 8" Or GetOS = "Windows 10" Then
How can I get this script to work?

I am using a small tablet with Windows on it. It already has little space (32GB which is actually 29 GB), with Windows eating up a ton of space. Now, with a virtual partition on the tablet reserved for system recovery, I have less than 5 GB left, not enough for Windows to update. I would like to merge the virtual partition so as to get ~5 GB extra space, in or to do so I would like to make a recovery disk on a SD-card.
The problem is, Windows does not seem to recognise the SD-card when I try to make a recovery disk! Is there a workaround, or did I get the SD-card in vain?

One of the 1st things I do with a new PC is create & test a recovery drive. This is the 3rd Windows 10 PC I've worked on-all Toshiba Satellites by coincidence. This one seems to have a problem, possibly creating the recovery drive and if not that then certainly using it. Or else I've forgotten how I used it on the other two. I test it by doing a restore from system image-since I create it immediately after completing setup I haven't lost anything and this assures me that if nothing else I can get back to 'ground zero'.
This is the 3rd time I've tried this on the new PC. The first time it said it was unable to create the recovery drive. I checked the USB stick & tried again. That time is 'successfully' created the drive. Both times 'copy system image to recovery drive' was checked. When I tested the 'successfully' created drive it couldn't find a system image on it.
So I'm trying it again and it's just sitting on the 'Please Wait' screen-for 20 minutes so far. Presumably it's erasing the drive so I'm reluctant to simply reboot. And this is the last 16GB USB stick I have. Should I shut it down & try again, get another USB stick, or what? Or have I totally forgotten what I did on the previous 2 PC's that worked?

I created the USB recovery drive successfully with the option "Back up system files to the recovery drive".
Since I needed the USB for another purpose, I transferred the files from the USB to a separate partition on an external HDD and made this drive bootable using YUMI.
So now, on the same laptop, I am able to boot to this new partition on my external HDD where windows recovery environment comes up just fine. I did not want to test the reset or refresh part. Out of curiosity, I clicked on the "System Restore" option on the advanced options screen. I got an error message "To use system restore, you must specify which Windows installation to restore. Restart this computer, select an operating system and then select System Restore"

I had a Surface Pro 3 running Windows 10 Pro that started giving very poor battery performance and the case was getting very hot.
MS agreed to either repair/replace under warranty but I needed to ship it back.
Before I shipped it back I did a Windows 10 System Image Backup to a USB drive hopeing that if MS replaced with a new Surface pro 3 I would be able to restore the Image to the new unit.
MS has as I thought replaced the Surface Pro 3 with a new one but I am struggling to restore the image to this new one.
It is asking for a recovery Key ?
Am I right in thinking that you can restore the Image to a replacement unit ?

Windows10 Recovery USB Media/Drive - Control Panel ( Backup & Restore )
I have upgraded to Windows 10 from Widows 8.1 (pre-installed) , on my "ACER Aspire E1 472P- 6491" laptop by taking advantage of the free upgrade offer and successfully activated Windows 10 . I do not have a Windows (8.1 or 10) product key , as the Windows was pre-loaded on the laptop .
Now I want to make a " Windows10 Recovery Drive ", which can be used later to boot/re-instal Windows10 in case my Laptop fails to boot or to reset/troubleshoot any problems on Windows10 . Accordingly I tried to Create Factory Default Backup via Control Panel ( Backup & Restore ) option, but I found that it is meant for Windows 7 or 8.1 only ( which means that the system can be recovered back to Windows 7 or 8.1 only - not Windows 10 ) .
Why Backup & Restore is meant for Windows 7 only , when I have upgraded to Windows 10 already . In fact I have upgraded to Windows 10 from Widows 8.1 ( not Windows 7 ), then why it is taking me back to Windows 7 ? Can I not create a Recovery USB Media/Drive Backup for Windows10 for future use , after I have upgraded to Windows 10 ? If not , then how to make a Windows10 Recovery USB Media/Drive .
a) After upgradation to Windows 10 , why Control Panel ( Backup & Restore ) option is meant for Windows 7 ( or 8.1 ) recovery .
b) How to create Windows10 Recovery USB Media/Drive Backup that will work to boot/re-instal Windows10 in case my Laptop fails to boot in future .

My Win10 computer is crashing predominantly when watching Twitch.tv (flash). The crash involves the screen freezing and any audio currently occuring, looping, and then the pc will reboot itself. There is no BSOD.
The crashes only seem to happen playing online video media but don't immediately appear to have an immediate trigger. Mostly they were happening when I had a fullscreen application (game) running on 1 screen and a chrome window open on the 2nd monitor with a twitch stream playing. However the crashes have happened without a fullscreen app running and just browsing the web or local files with Twitch/youtube running. If I notice a more specific trigger I will post it.
It wont crash with media playing from file.
This started happening 4 or 5 days ago and have been using Win 10 for around a month or more.
My first reaction was to try reinstalling audio (asus xonar d2x) and video (nvidia) drivers. The crashes still occured.
I tried reinstalling chrome, thinking perhaps there was a problem with the inbuilt flash codec. Crashes still occured.
I performed a "reset" on the Windows 10 install today, thinking it was probably a deeper problem and a "fresh" os install would work. After reinstalling drivers and programs I have had another identical crash to before the os "reset".
Ps. since the "reset" of the Win 10 OS I have had 1 crash and it did not produce a minidump file because there was no BSOD/error message.

If I run SFC it tells me I have corrupt files that it can not fix. When I tried to use DISM checking health says the files can be repaired yet if I run DISM with /online feature with out a source it says the same thing if I run it with a source which is it can not find the files needed. I have attached the CBS log and DISM log below in
