It seems to be a .NET error.
First, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all the updates.

Then try these steps:
Go to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
Open an Admin Command Prompt (File > Open Command Prompt as Administrator);
Type

ngen executequeueditems

after it's finished try

ngen update

After that go to Windows > Microsoft.Net > Framework64 > v4.0.30319
Again open an Admin Command Prompt

ngen executequeueditems
 ngen update

Reboot after it's finished and see if there is any problems. If it still doesn't work you could try NET Framework Repair Tool .

Got this result on Framework 64 (all the others commands were ok with message : All compilation targets are up to date) :

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319>ngen update

I am gonna reboot now.

Finally something 🙂 ---> I will try repair tool and verification tool again

Ok so repair tool telling me to reinstall .net framework and if error not fixed can continue repair and it just create some files to send them (or not) to microsoft.
Since .Net Framework is integrated in windows i think i can not install them with external files.

One solution coulb be to find those 2 files and work on permissions.

Or repair windows but wich windows image should I get ?

Could you try enabling NET Framework 3.5 from Programs and Features? Maybe it will help.

You could try running the following code in an admin command prompt:

dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

You could also try reinstalling Thunderbolt (uninstall it from Control Panel then download the latest one from http://www.asus.com/supportonly/ThunderBolt/HelpDesk_Download/

Or, if you don't have any ThunderBolt devices, you could just completly uninstall it. It's not essential for your laptop.

Or just disable it at startup by going to Schedule Tasks > Task Scheduler Library > Intel > Thunderbolt and disable the tasks.

Also, if you go to Program Files > Intel > Thunderbolt and run Thunderbolt.exe does it give you the same error or does it appear in the system tray?

If you need a Windows Refresh Image, Microsoft can give you one through http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

[JupiterTheGod]

Try using
dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
also try reinstalling Thunderbolt.

Or you could completely uninstall it.

Can u get those 2 files and upload them to an online drive please ?

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet.mof
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet.mof.uninstall

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth -----> no damage to the image

[JupiterTheGod]

I don't have those files in my Framework64 folder, and I don't think they are relevant. Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt software works fine on my laptop without that pnet.mof.
If you navigate to C:\Program Files\Intel\Thunderbolt Software\ and run Thunderbolt exe does it start? It should appear in the system tray.

Also: enable NET Framework 3.5 in Windows Features.
Try the following command too:
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ngen.exe update

It seems that for some reason Thunderbolt can't find some library.

If nothing works, there might be a problem with your Windows installation. If you installed from a corrupted media you can not repair the NET Framework because it will try to "repair" itself with the corrupt Windows components.

The best way to get an official Windows image is http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

If i launch Thunderbolt.exe it's working 100%. .Net Framework 3.5 installed long time ago. Tried ngen update didn't help everything up to date.
It's not possible corrupted media because it's factory windows install 🙂

I got an image of WIndows 8.1 Core/Pro Update 3. Will reinstall fresh later. It's not a big matter now. But i am plan to use this port for a screen later.
Anyway thanx for your great help JupiterTheGod. Cheers.
