Imaging State Incomplete?

Question

In order to run a program it has to run Windows imaging state. Unfortunately, it says my Imaging state is incomplete or corrupt. I've run all of Microsoft's recommended scans and still found nothing.

Answer 1

Hi, thanks for replying, seems that you have an incorrect path, after SOFTWARE > Select Microsoft instead of Windows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Setup > State

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to help, just to confirm if you have an issue with your Steel series engine 3? if yes, kindly follow the steps below:

Open Registry:

Press the Windows key + R then type in:

regedit

Then hit OK

Navigate:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\State

On the right side, double-click "ImageState"

Then change the value data to:

IMAGE_STATE_COMPLETE

Restart the PC and check.

Let me know how it goes and I hope that helps.

Answer 4

I have only one problem when doing it this way.

I make it to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Windows\CurrentVersion but there is no setup or state only auto rotation.
