Thanks. There are many tabs there such as backup tools,repair-main, advanced repairs and advanced tools. Can you tell me which to select should I create a restore point before doing the repair.
Yes create a restore point prior to running the tool. The actual repair recycle bin is repair number 33, run it with those two ticked at first in safe mode, if that fails then Just use it with all repairs selected Also in safe mode. personally I'd run it with all options ticked the first time, but this is your machine. 
Thanks for the help given. I am at lost when I wrote to you this windows repair was working fine, but after confirming from you it was late at night so I shut down my PC for the day. The following day I was about to try the 'windows repair' application, the program after it start to scan check the files and when completed there was an error and could not open the program. I have attach the file for you information and hope you can help.Yes create a restore point prior to running the tool.

I still hope to hear from you all for further help.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I am really surprised today of what happened . The recycle bin icon have come back alive yes it now can auto refresh if I delete some files it will show full and when empty it show empty icon. One sad thing is that I lost all the created restore point and all windows updates with my internet provider 100 Mbps it will take a long time to update all. Regarding the Account Profile Fixer can I delete the account in the user account page in windows if so please show me how to delete it as it start every reboot. Today it give another APLog. Will be appreciate if you can help further.

Delete any account you wish. So long as you are logged into your account where you are posting from.
After deleting 'Account Profile Fixer' folder or updating windows updates the recyle bin now return back no auto refreshing. I am not sure whether one of this cause it to change. Do I need the Account Profile Fixer folder which it created and is it normal for it to run every reboot.
