If you want to actually list the services in powershell, so you can view the settings in the registry editor...
dir "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services" | Format-Table -Property NameThe script just speeds up the process of having to edit a ridiculous amount of keys all at once (it does not restore damaged entries or fix missing service entries.) If you just upgraded, they should already exist in the registry anyways.
I could create a script that refreshes the entire registry hive, but I haven't thought about doing that at this point (would be slow, would have to be quite selective as to not destroy anyone's configuration.) Process protection (PPL) typically is good enough to stop any modification to those keys, unless someone intentionally disables it, along with the ELAM driver (Early Launch Anti-Malware.) It couldn't actually get that bad, unless someone deliberately went in and deleted a lot of critical registry entries and files. It's very difficult to achieve this even with administrator privileges (DISM / SFC can restore it in almost all cases. It's a very lengthy process to disable all the file protection features I mean. It's almost illogical to assume that that's what happened in this case / scenario.)
Mousefluff Again, I think you're overestimating my computer expertise 🙂 I tried running the procedure of restoring the system from the image file, but I ended up with the following message:
"cmdlet Add-AppxPackage at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:"
And I had no idea what to do. Since my version of Windows is Windows Pro, I tried typing 6, but that didn't do anything.My list shows nearly every possible outcome, regardless of where you get stuck, given the myriad of possibilities (so you have to copy paste all the text from one particular box.) It doesn't matter how it resolves itself, or if it resolves itself early on due to a mistake you made previously being corrected (not figuring out how to select the entire text box, use the scroll bars, CTRL+C to copy, CTRL+V to paste, etc.)
Eventually it will resolve itself if you follow all the instructions. It doesn't matter if you solve it part way through (you don't have to complete all the steps if you have it solved part-way through.) That's actually good. I deliberately wrote it so it's workable no matter what the outcome (sequential order too.) You just have to inch your way through this one step at a time. Of course you can also look up these instructions to see what they do. It's very good to learn what each step is for. It doesn't matter how long it takes you either. Go at your own pace.
