I know theres this repair function. But does it wipe away my installed programs as well? Registry wise.
Repair does just that, repairs the existing OS.

repair function does not wipe anything, it just reinstalls Windows components, programs stay installed
Explorer occasionally hanging. Autorun not working due to a virus a few months ago.King_County_Downy wrote:

The magic happens behind the curtain.... Let us know if you still have issues.
You might want to run a
chkdsk c: /f
as well...

Alright ran it and this sucks. I booted up and right clicked on a file on my desktop. The whole explorer process just hung on me. Really really frustrated. Had to end the process and remake an explorer.exe task again. Do i really have to do an OS repair?

You might have to actually do a re-install at this point
I don't have any other ideas on this one, sorry
