OP had problems posting tuneup.bat results: post #33
Occasional BSOD: Event errors on many harddisk

@Ztruker, I found an alternative to SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion

Code:

The progress will not be written into Tuneup.log

That's fine, don't care at that point. It's while the batch file is running that I like to see the progress.
I'm not a big fan of code that runs for any length of time without giving some indication of what is happening.
We can try it and see what the reaction is from the users.

Errors will be written into Tuneup.log. For example,

Code:

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at
windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline
repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.

Code:

Found 0x1 clusters allocated to file "\Users\Matthew_Wai\AppData\Local\2BrightSparks\SyncBackFree\Settings.ini <0x1,0x236ec>" at offset "0" marked as free
"Chkdsk /scan" is restarting due to stale information about crosslinks.

That's good then.

I am unable to create DISM errors.

Me either. Will have to wait for feedback from users that do have system file corruption.

Feel free to use your modified version. You are the one who wants to read and understand the codes.

Not just for me but for anyone we ask to run the batch file who wants to understand what it does BEFORE they run it.
Do you prefer obfuscated code or is it just a habit you've gotten into?

Please at lest think about it.

There are new threads with Windows upgrade failure.
I'd like to test drive the commands to collect setupmem.dmp, etc. if available.
What is the latest script?

%SystemDrive%$Windows.~bt\Sources\Rollback
%WinDir%\Panther\NewOS\Rollback
setupapi.dev.log
BlueBox.log
etc.

Frequent BSOD'S for the past 4 months

OP posted incomplete results for each:
tuneup.bat

Place to store small batch files for use in the BSOD forum

zbook · 02 Nov 2020

Thx.
Please add to other scripts so that it is available.

Matthew Wai · 02 Nov 2020

I have no permission to add it. Do you?

zbook · 02 Nov 2020

I've not tried modifying them.

Excellent point, and one that needs to be addressed, especially VBScript in TF batch files.

Aside from the security issues using VBScript, who will understand what this code is doing...

(Net session >nul 2>&1)&&Goto:✱||Echo CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^). ^
ShellExecute "%~0","✶","","RunAs",1 >"%temp%\(+).vbs"&&"%temp%\(+).vbs"&EXIT /B

You could elevate the batch file using PowerShell.

It would be safer, and probably easier to read, with some added documentation.
