rudrax Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I'm running a fresh copy of windows 8 pro x64 activated via skype phone activation. Today I was running autoruns app. There, an entry took my attention. Look below:Then I tried fixing it with SFC /scanfile="shell32.dll" but it have shown the following:Need help with this.

Administrator DKT27 Posted July 21, 2013 Administrator Share Posted July 21, 2013 Not sure, but did you modify your Windows 8 in any way? You could have modified shell32.dll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Not at all. I didn't even patch or try to patch my system files with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Well, I have edited the context menu entries with Windows 8 manager's Context menu editor and I guess those context menu entries are handled by shell32.dll. So, when I have edited the entries, it might have changed the default property of shell32.dll for which it's no longer verified by MS.I've edited the context menu entries below:Is it the reason?

tezza Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 AFAIK , If no attempt at all has been made to verify , this notification appears (Not verified), meaning it has not even bothered to try verification.This does not mean that it is not verified by MS. If it had tried verification and been unable to verify, the notification would have been (Unable to verify) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peet Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Not sure if this would work, but have you tried using the SFC command whilst booted up in safe mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezza Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 @rudraxI take it your os was running fine until you saw this "problem" in autoruns. But due to the amount of tweaks/mods you have employed, it makes it difficult to pin down which may cause it (of course dcs would probably nail it in a minute :D ).sfc /scanfile not to run at all (or did it run then hang?) and give no error log is unusual though. Did you try running sfc /verifyfile=<file> and sfc /scannow to see if they work ok? If not, it could be due to a reported bug in one of your Windows updates.

I will download them slowly.Not sure if this would work, but have you tried using the SFC command whilst booted up in safe mode?Why shall I need to boot in safe mode as the process is supposed to work in normal mode?There are quite a lot troubleshoot out and fix in this topic you may try some of those:How to Fix shell32.dll Errorhttp://karlaaubin.typepad.com/blog/2012/11/how-to-fix-shell32dll-error.htmlLet me completely update my windows first. I will try such fixers latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted July 22, 2013 Administrator Share Posted July 22, 2013 I suggest you don't download all the updates together. As in, download a 100MB of updates one day, 100MB next day and so. Reason is, sometimes the downloaded updates get lost when you don't download them all and reboot/shutdown the PC in middle. I've personally faced this problem on Windows 8 where I had re-download stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted July 22, 2013 Administrator Share Posted July 22, 2013 Welcome. :)On your connection, I'd personally never download updates from Windows Updates. I'd always use some reliable 3rd party Windows Updates downloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you suggest me a good/reliable (light and if possible, portable too) windows update downloader?Is WUD good? It's really light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted July 22, 2013 Administrator Share Posted July 22, 2013 Personally, I have no idea. I feel someone like anuraag or november_ra1n might have more knowledge than me in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudrax Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Oh hell yeah. Guess what? I've found fix for it. I've launched SFC.exe /scannow through Windows 8 manager and it fixed the issue for me :dance:There seems still some complexions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted July 22, 2013 Administrator Share Posted July 22, 2013 Good. :)This does mean your shell32.dll was modified in some way.Post that log here if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Good. :)This does mean your shell32.dll was modified in some way.Post that log here if you want.I can't upload 6MB file at the moment :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted July 22, 2013 Administrator Share Posted July 22, 2013 Do you know text files have very high compression rate?Either way, by post it, I mean, copy/paste. But I guess it might be way too big to fit here, in a post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Copy-paste also requires same amount of data transmission. I tried pasting the log into tny.cz but firefox shows "sendin file to...." as it does on other file uploads.Yeah, the idea of compressing it may work. I may get a 97% of compression with winRAR. Are you interested in looking into the log file because, you can imagine how big will a 6MB .txt file be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
