From Dial-a-Fix to Tweaking Windows Repair

Many, many moons ago, when Windows XP was still the operating system your computer used, there existed a very useful little tool called Dial-a-Fix.

Since you know that in the world of computers years actually mean aeons, Windows XP didn't survive. When Windows XP became obsolete, so did Dial-a-Fix, because its creator couldn't find the time and motivation to update his program.

Dial-a-Fix was a collection of known fixes gleaned from Microsoft Knowledgebase articles, Microsoft MVPs, and other support forums. These fixes repaired various Windows problems, such as:
- Windows Update errors and problems with Automatic Updates;
- SSL, HTTPS, and Cryptography service (signing/verification) issues;
- COM/ActiveX object errors and missing registry entries.

Time hasn't stopped and Windows' operating systems became much better in repairing their own problems. Still, malware infections and poorly installed programs can modify your default settings resulting in your machine working sub-standard.

So, what can be done about it? Where can we find a program that fixes or resets these settings?

I would like suggest to download and use Tweaking Windows Repair, a program that is designed to help fix a vast number of known Windows problems, including registry errors, file permissions, issues with Internet Explorer, Windows Updates, Windows Firewall, and more.

The latest release of Tweaking Windows Repair is version 4.14.1 [June 1, 2023].

What's new:
- [Update] Default registry and file permissions for Windows 10 and 11 as of September 5th, 2023.
