Tried to run the repair, according to the tutorial, but it gave me no option to "Keep personal files and apps", so I stopped it. I also noticed the tutorial was from 2015. I looked through the thread to find an up date quote, or comment, but it was all about 1511, or 1607. I have Eval copy: Build 19619.rs_prerelease.200425-1827. I'm gonna check the Insider forum to see if there is anything there. But if you got something else I could look at, I'd appreciate it. I trust you a lot more than I do anyone else with this.

Normally, you would not get a "Keep personal files and apps" option if you didn't use the exact same version and same or newer build as what you currently have installed.

Oh, well maybe I misunderstood something there. I wanted to repair the new Insider update. It was the update that gave me the issues in the first place. Thanks for the update.

So, how do I get the same build that I have, and repair from it?

I usually get an Insider ISO from UUP Dump.

I got a lot to learn about this stuff and UUP Dump just put me back light years! I went to the site, downloaded the package that I believe applies to my Build, and unzipped the file.

...then, I open the "Files" folder:

At this point, there came a "Duh!" moment. So, I unzipped the .rar file:

went to the README file that sent me to the website, and I was "I dunno" wilderness from there. Don't wanna take up too much of your time, but, HELP!

Clicked on the highligted "aria2_download_windows file, and it opened a CMD prompt and begin a series of downloads. Waiting for it to complete.

You da man! Thanks!

I tried all 3 methods; the disk cleanup option and both batch file versions. None of them fixed the problem. I restarted after each one, as instructed. The thumbnails in file explorer are not correct; some duplicated, etc.
