.NET Framework issue which I can't fix without formatting the PC [closed]

Question

I'm having an issue which I know I can fix by formatting the computer. Though, yesterday I was all afternoon installing it and installing all my programs, and I didn't want to go over it again...

This seems to happen when there's a bad problem and I have to run SFC (cause of that would be modifications in the system to change its aspect). And the error (on Winaero Tweaker) is the following, which only appears after what I described, and never happens if no problem appears on the computer:

System.IO.IOException: The parameter is incorrect.

   em Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.CreateSubKeyInternal(String subkey, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck permissionCheck, Object registrySecurityObj, RegistryOptions registryOptions)

Note: this is in Portuguese. If more translation is necessary please tell me and I'll translate any words (though, I think the main parts are translated).

Would anyone know if this is a system problem or a problem of the program itself? If it from the system, how can I fix it? (If it's from the program, I'll have to ask the developer and see if he can fix it - or just format this thing again...)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Answer 1

I know I can fix by formatting the computer. .... ... And the error (on Winaero Tweaker)

Possibly reinstalling Windows may be the way.

Consider a Repair Install. Uninstall Winaero Tweaker first. Note the 3 methods and try the first after uninstalling Winaero Tweaker and other third party apps that are not mainstream. See if the normal repair fixes things. Nothing lost. The third option may be necessary in the event of (a) very severe damage or (b) User Profile damage.

Go to the Media Creation Link:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Windows 10 is running, so click on the Download button (not Upgrade Button) and select Run. If the Repair will not run as per above, use the Download button to create a USB Windows Installation key, then run Setup on the USB Key.

This will launch the Repair and proceed normally. There are 3 ways to proceed, according to the severity of the error.

(1) Keep Everything: Best if it works and your computer comes back just the way you had set it up except repaired. Always have a backup, but generally nothing will be lost.

(2) Keep Data: Necessary if the operating system damage is extensive. Keeps the User Profile and makes software install quite easy. Always have a backup, but data is not usually lost.

(3) Keep Nothing: Deletes the User Profile and all else and is essentially a fresh install. Be certain you have backed up all your data. "Keep Nothing" is necessary if the User Profile is damaged, because broken User Profiles cannot be repaired and it is generally easier to back up and start over if the User Profile is damaged. It depends on the precise situation.
