My question is, if you choose repair what does the repair overwrite?

What user data is lost?

In theory, nothing.

"The Startup Repair tool repairs Windows 7 by replacing important
operating
system files that might be damaged or missing."

Google "windows 7 repair" for some relevant info.


It is not as easy as XP was or 10 is now. Do research. I only did it
once.


What, if anything, _did_ you lose?


Just a heads up.

You're on E-S.

Right now, the E-S spool has a problem. It's like the
indexing is broken. Messages from May 2018 are being
re-injected into your message list. You're actually
replying to a message from May.

I suspect Ray Banana is going to need to rebuild whatever
passes for an index on the E-S news server.

So if you're thinking "wow, a lot of new messages now",
well no, they're old messages being sent to you a
second time.
