Windows 10 froze suddenly when I went through the search results tabs of a search done on torrent-finder.info. I was using Firefox (latest version). My fear is that I may have come across a dodgy website which caused the freeze. My Keepass Passwords Database was open at the time so I was even more apprehensive. This type of freeze had never happened before. The CPU light on my laptop turned on full-time and the interface became generally unresponsive. I could use the mouse but could not access task manager. So I saw no other option than to force shut down by holding down the power button.
When attempting to boot up again the CPU light was on full-time again at the beginning. Then, after a little longer than usual CPU goes dead (no light) and I am left with the black screen with the blue windows logo and the spinning circle. At this step the boot process gets stuck.
Every time I switch on my PC, it goes through a shortened startup (no startup tune, no checking Steam etc) which is very quick. Some time after this, the PC freezes and I have to hold the on/off button to switch off and restart. There is no obvious trigger for the freeze. When it restarts, the sequence is 'normal' and everything is fine until the next time.
I've just upgrade to Windows 10 a few weeks ago and since then I cannot open the sotre app It gives "The Server Stumbled" error message, without any error code and then force closed The same cases also happened to Xbox app I've updated a few times via windows update but it seems the error still occur
To check whether your download is coming, look for a folder called: $WINDOWS.~BT In the root of your C:
If its not there, check there are folders dated with todays date, here: C:WindowsSoftwareDistributionDownload Files start here, before being unpacked into the location above.
If those folders don't exist, type this at the command line: wuauclt.exe /updatenow (This worked for me, and my download has started)
If you have to hit Windows Update with a hammer, try this:
1.Uninstalled the KB2976978 (In an elevated cmd prompt) 1.net stop wuauserv 2.rd /s /q C:WindowsSoftwareDistribution 3.net start wuauserv
So I really feel like using my bluetooth keyboard now, but whenever my computer reaches 100% cpu usage, it just disconnects and reconnects and make it laggy. I'm on the hp stream 11 by the way, so yeah... intel celeron n2840 processor. Like that it will make the bluetooth experience better. Or maybe it won't because I didn't ''allocate'' the bluetooth service to the 1% or whatever.
sometimes i get stuck with a error that it cant delete a folder because of too long filename or it says it's in use when infact it isn't is there some nice tool for this?
I have a program that came with an IP cam I use for remote viewing that will display the video in IE but not in Edge. The program correctly displays the internal parameter screens from the camera ie-resolution settings, alarm settings et-al. just not the video.
When I use Edge to view the camera directly by typing in the IP address I get the normal sign in screen from the camera and everything I would normally expect but no video image. Just a blank black screen within the camera software border. When I use IE the video is fine.
I have viewed the " How to Change Default Programs" article and it only shows how to force an IE start for "groups" of programs not a specific program.
Is there a way to force a SPECIFIC program to use IE in Windows 10 rather than Edge?
I upgraded to Win 10 few weeks ago and I have a small issue with it.I can't make Win 10 open windows where i want them to open.
Previously with Win 7 I had the Explorer open on the right side of the screen, taking about half of the screen. My browser would open on the left side taking up the rest of the screen. It was very easy to set up. I just resized it to what I wanted, placed it where I wanted and closed it down. After reopening it would open in the same place, same size.
I tried the same with Win 10 and it doesn't work... Every time I reboot and open my browser and Explorer I have to readjust them. I know that's a very minor thing, but it bothers me every time I turn my PC on. how I can force Win 10 to remember where to open windows?
My PC sometimes restarts when I am playing game. This occurrence is sporadic and is spread between long periods of time. Once it starts to happen, every time I try to play a game after the restart it reboots almost instantly & then reboots before anything else would show up on the screen or just switch off when I press the power button.
After I leave the PC & unplug everything it works again until the next time after I played a few games. Almost all of the time it would reboot the PC but rarely it would crashed to desktop. Other times Geforce experience has stopped working and would crash. Once when my pc force restarted the screen showed a few vertical red, white and blue pixelated lines across the screen.
The most recent problems was when I was not playing any games at all and the pc just shutdown. To try and resolve my problem I have swapped my RAM with new RAM. Removed one of the monitors, changed the graphics card checked to see if my motherbored bios was up to date.
When trying all of the above my PC still force reboots when playing games at times. I have also used my onboard video card for a day and no force reboot has occurred. But this was for one day and I have gone for a day with my GTX 980 or asus 560ti without having a my pc rebooted when playing games.

I may have clicked accidentally on my mobile. its extremely difficult to navigate using a mobile.
I have both Excel 2000 and Excel 2013 on my Windows 10 machine for reasons that don't need enumeration here. I am working with a program now that will export/import to Excel, but it looks like it might work only with Excel 2013.
However, when I do the export from the program it always exports to 2000. There is not an options or preferences within the program to choose which version of Excel to direct the export.
Is there some way in Windows 10 short of uninstalling Excel 2000 to make 2013 the default choice?
I've been fighting properties window since I installed window 10... I use this function a lot. The problem is the properties window opens in the background. So I have to minimize all the windows I have open to see the properties window. The weird thing is the properties window is the only one that does that, When I open a new window of anything it opens in the forground. Is there a way to force the properties window open in the forground.
It seems like something went wrong during the installation process and Windows Store did not install properly. As such I can't even open it. I have tried different method suggested online, but none is working. I am just wondering if there is a way to force reinstall the Windows Store.
In order to force a safe mode start in Widows 10, I used the msconfig command in the Run Box. I clicked the "networking" radio button; unfortunately, that UNCLICKED the "minimal" radio button. Now I am unable to boot into anything. I have created a Repair / Recovery Disc from a similar PC, but it does not work with my HP ENVY.
I had finished updating the Windows Store app on my laptop, usually after the update, store immediately closed itself, and wait for about 5 minutes, and finished ...
But why, I now want to reopen it always force close? Only up splash screen, without error code, and force close
Is there a way to force resync Wi-Fi profiles from the Microsoft Account? I was trying to fix some Wi-Fi driver issue on my tablet and poof, all the profiles were gone. I'm not referring to Wi-Fi Sense but the old Windows 8 profile sync where it restores your Wi-Fi profiles when you link your Microsoft Account, and just your saved profiles only.
Right now my workaround is to use netsh and import the profiles from my laptop, but it does it one at a time, quite difficult from my touchscreen.
This was 3 days ago now and I've been having issues closing applications since. Full screen games in particular tend to fill my desktop with a black box equal to the games resolution, I can't click anything behind the box and it is above ANY windows I'm running. Usually the windows will take upwards of 10 minutes to close, however it can be longer.
Games can't be closed with task manager even as escalated user from any tabs, error returned is "Permission Denied".
I've uninstalled the Broadcom SD card reader driver since as apparently it's prone to memory leaks, my SD card reader had never worked before driver installation anyway.
The issue tends to happen after the computer has been on for a while. It gets worse as a process called "System and compressed memory" starts taking up more ram. I've attempted to stop "System and compressed memory" from doing so by disabling fast-boot as another forum post suggested, however it made no/minimal difference.
since I upgraded the computer to Windows 10, when I want to turn off my PC, the screen turn off, but the light on the power button stays on. the computer turns off completely.
while if I want to put my computer on standby, the computer will not turn on more, I am forced to turn off the computer by holding the power button press.
My laptop, running Windows Ten from a clean install, has issues with the sleep function. About once a day, when I either put the computer to sleep or when it does it on its own, the screen will go black but the computer will not stop running. All the lights are on, the fan and disks keep running. Nothing works to turn the screen back on and my only option becomes to force a shut down.
I've tried tweaking all the power options in various ways, I've tried disabling/enabling hibernation/fast start and I've searched for an answer but I do not have one.
