Clean and fix my computer - path problem in description

thomas-k

I tried "Clean and fix my computer" and there is still a path problem. Here two examples:

HKUS\S-1-5-21-3832654586-1965245742-3141426226-1000\Software\Microsoft\Installer\Products\B743BCD27DDBCF04F8ED0C697596A8E2\SourceList\ : LastUsedSource 80 File or directory "C:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Roaming\FameRing\Smart Cutter 1" does not exist

"Open in RegEdit" shows this: n;1;C:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Roaming\FameRing\Smart Cutter 1.8.8\install\"Explorer" shows the current path:c:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Roaming\FameRing\Smart Cutter\

HKUS\S-1-5-21-3832654586-1965245742-3141426226-1000\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\17.3.4726.0226\ 80 File or directory "C:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\17" does not exist

"Open in RegEdit" shows this:C:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\17.3.4726.0226

"Explorer" shows the current path:c:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\17.3.5860.0512\

Do paths "c:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\17.3.5860.0512\" and "C:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Roaming\FameRing\Smart Cutter 1.8.8\install\" exist in your system?

The cut path confuses the user in the description of CFMC, because you don't know if the tool works correctly.

Regedit shows obsolete path entries.

"C:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Roaming\FameRing\Smart Cutter 1.8.8\install\"

"C:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\17.3.4726.0226\"

The explorer shows the existing paths of these programs.

"c:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Roaming\FameRing\Smart Cutter\"

"c:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\17.3.5860.0512\"

Just to be sure,

Do you mean,

Regedit: obsolete path (not existing anymore) in stead of absolete path

Explorer: does current path mean the now existing paths in your system?

jv16's question was: Do the mentioned paths exist in your system.

EDIT: thomas-k has now updated his original post

You are right. Thanks for your correction. :

"c:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\17.3.5860.0512\"

So to be clear, the problem is only the the PowerTools' GUI shows the path incorrectly, but the items are correctly flagged as non-existing as the paths they refer to do not exist? In other words, you are reporting a cosmetic bug and not a bug relating to possible false positives?

That is correct, in this case. But the user can not be sure what is right - the description or the obsolete entry.
