I just installed Norton Utilities and ran a Registry Scan for the first time. My Windows 8 came with the computer, which is just two weeks old. The scan resulted in over 2,000 items that need repair. Half of them are in the Add/Remove programs category and 780 in the deep scan. Frankly, I am afraid to click "repair." I believe these problem areas are due to the applications that came with Windows that I have not done anything with. What will happen to these applications if I select repair? Will they still be available for use? I felt comfortable repairing the registry in Windows 7 but this registry scan is a bit overwhelming.
thanks.
