Please run the following command again to see if the (same) transaction files are re-created.

dir /s /a C:\Windows\System32\config\TxR > "%userprofile%\Desktop\Dirlist.txt"

New Dirlist attached.

 

[Maxstar]

Please provide a copy of the following folder: C:\Windows\System32\config\TxR

 

[A7tech]

Folder is empty to the naked eye. Using WinRAR shows me the files inside of it though.

 

[Maxstar]

Please run the attached Fixlist with FRST and post the result.

Start the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool again.

Warning: This script was written specifically for this system. Do not run this script on another system.

• Download the attachment fixlist.txt and save it to your desktop.
• Right-click on FRST.exe and select "Run as administrator".
• Press the Fix button.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally.
• When finished, a log called Fixlog.txt will appear in the same directory the tool is run from.
• Post the logfile Fixlog.txt as attachment in your next reply.

 

[A7tech]

Fixlog attached.

 

[Maxstar]

Is the dir: C:\Windows\System32\config\TxR completely empy now!

 

[A7tech]

No. The files are the same as they have been in there.

 

[Maxstar]

Hmm, how many free space is availavble on this server? Pleas run also the following command again and post the result.

dir /s /a C:\Windows\System32\config\TxR > "%userprofile%\Desktop\Dirlist.txt"

 

[A7tech]

Sorry for the delay. The machine has over 2.6 TB of free space on it.

Hi,

Please try the following script to delete those files.

Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFixScript.txt and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFixScript.txt file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

 

[A7tech]

Attached. It failed to delete the files.

 

[Maxstar]

Hi,

Please try to delete those files manually, another option would be to delete them from safe mode.

 

[A7tech]

I've gone through and deleted these multiple times at this point during the course of this thread. Do you know what might be causing this loop?

 

[Maxstar]

No, I have no clear explanation for this odd issue!

Normally, it should be possible to delete those (transaction) files...But TxR.0 seems to be a ghost file, since it was not overwritten.
