Hi Frank, The instructions are for Robo4112. Please don't try that because you already have a newer platform folder. The zip archive is meant for Robo4112's system.

Hi Frank, Ramesh is definitely the expert here, I can only tell you how I do it. I type CMD in the search box, and start Command Prompt as Admin. "md c:\Files" without the quotes created the Directory in c:\ Root with the name Files "xcopy c:\mynameddirectory c:\windows\system32 /E /H " without quotes, will copy all files and because of xcopy also all subdirectories to the target directory.

If you need examples for the command line commands, type at the command prompt: rmdir /? xcopy /? md /? And it will tell you the exact syntax and all the options you can use If I have to delete a single directory, I do it in the file explorer, however sometimes it complaines about files being in use.

Hi Ramesh / Rob Sorry just catching up with all this now Can you help me with the correct syntax / DOS commands to perform the delete and then the copy as below when using WinRE Command Promt. Thank you Frank Boot into Windows RE Command Prompt and delete the contents of "C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth\1.0.2207.20002-0" While in WinRE Command Prompt, copy the contents from C:\SecurityHealth to "C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth\1.0.2207.20002-0" along with subfolders using the XCopy command.

Those entries have no significance. Those entries show up in my system as well. You'll see a lot of Not Found entries for any operation you do. Usually, most of those entries have no significance.

You may try this if possible.

Download this REG file and save it to a folder named c:\reg\

Launch AdvancedRun (from Nirsoft) and start cmd.exe as TrustedInstaller.

In the TrustedInstaller Command Prompt, run:

reg.exe import c:\reg\securityhealth.reg
exit

This restores some essential registry keys used by Defender.

Hi Frank,

Ramesh is definitely the expert here, I can only tell you how I do it.

I type CMD in the search box, and start Command Prompt as Admin.

"md c:\Files" without the quotes created the Directory in c:\ Root with the name Files

"xcopy c:\mynameddirectory c:\windows\system32 /E /H " without quotes, will copy all files and because of xcopy also all subdirectories to the target directory.

To remove directory and their subdirectories, I use

rmdir /S mydirectory, meaning directory mydirectory and all subfolders and content will be deleted.

If you need examples for the command line commands, type at the command prompt:

rmdir /?

xcopy /?

md /?

And it will tell you the exact syntax and all the options you can use

If I have to delete a single directory, I do it in the file explorer, however sometimes it complaines about files being in use.

Hi Ramesh / Rob

Sorry just catching up with all this now

Can you help me with the correct syntax / DOS commands to perform the delete and then the copy as below when using WinRE Command Promt.

Thank you

Frank

Boot into Windows RE Command Prompt and delete the contents of "C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth\1.0.2207.20002-0"

While in WinRE Command Prompt, copy the contents from C:\SecurityHealth to "C:\Windows\System32\SecurityHealth\1.0.2207.20002-0" along with subfolders using the XCopy command.
