View 8 RepliesI recently installed windows 10 in my computer, but i got a problem : my computer does not fully shutdown when i click the shut down button in the start menu, it just closes apps, screen turns black, but the pc is still on and i can say this because keyboards lights are still on (power one, wifi one) and i am forced to press the power button for 5 seconds to force a shutdown and then turn it on again. I searched on internet some solutions and the most common problem seems related to the fast startup feature.
View 9 Repliesso 2 days ago was the scheduled day for the windows 10 free upgrade. I was on vacation and didn't get to my laptop that day. So I come back the next day and my windows 8.1 computer keeps freezing and freezing and FREEZING . I then decide to reset it to factory settings and I don't see the free upgrade button next to my date in time so I think maybe I have to update to windows 8.1 sense when I reset it it reset to windows 8.0 . so I spend a whole day updating to windows 8.1 . Now its day 2 and I still cant see the free upgrade button...

View 1 RepliesRecently upgraded to Windows 10. Everything seemed to go well. It was working fine I restarted a couple times and it all went well . I shut the computer down for about 20 minutes and when I tried to restart it I get nothing on the monitor. I can hear the hard drive start but monitor doesn't come on unless I hit the power button on the monitor and even when I do it just comes on for a few seconds and it is blank and it says monitor is going to sleep and shuts off again and if I hit the power button again it will just repeat the cycle.
View 7 RepliesI downloaded and installed the new Windows 10. The installation seemed to be perfectly accomplished. However, when I tried to open my desktop I discovered that the system had set up a new password to enter !!!!
Result: i do not have access to my computer !
*I did not have any password before, so I guess Windows 10 could have fixed a default password.
Since updating to windows ten my computer keeps shutting down?
View 7 RepliesHow I should migrate my OS to an SSD. I recently upgraded to windows 10 from 7, and now want to add an SSD to my computer. So, I was wondering if that would create any licensing issues, since the key for windows 10 is tied to the computer's "fingerprint". I am planning to buy the sandisk 120gb SSD, and will use their migration software.
View 1 RepliesI held off to upgrade to Windows 10 until I thought it was safe. My motherboard manufacture said it was Window 10 ready, so I upgraded over the weekend. Now I have no audio. This is bad, because this is our media center for our house hold. As a quick fix I purchased a replacement sound card that has Windows 10 x64 drivers on their website. I installed it today, installed the newest drivers, and still no audio. I hooked multiple speakers to it and no sound. I hooked the speakers to my TV and play a regular show, and there is no problem there. Just no audio from my computer. The additional sound card I just put on to try to get Audio working is an Asus Xonar DGX PCIE 5.1 Audio card.

View 1 RepliesI've tried:
-Disable power from waking with my LAN, Keyboard & Mouse
-Look at powercfg -lastwake but it shows wake source count - 0
Event log shows power-troubleshooter wake source: Unknown
Event log shows this 1 second after I press sleep: "The system firmware has changed the processor's memory type range registers (MTRRs) across a sleep state transition (S5). This can result in reduced resume performance."
I thought it was because my time is syncing with network time, but I disabled the sync time automatically
I also checked my power plan to make sure nothing wakes the computer up, and I don't have automatic updates on. It's really annoying when you go to sleep and after about 15minutes the computer boots back up from sleep.

My CPU throttling itself. Why or whether it is a setting I'm missing. It started happening after my upgrade to Windows 10 and I'm not sure what could be causing it. A restart fixes the problem completely until it occurs again (half hour to several hours later). I have the min/max CPU usage set to 100% in the power options.
Here is a screenshot of the task manager whilst it was occuring, as you can see its max is exactly 20%

When I first bought this desktop, after the prescribed amount of time of inactivity (it may be something like 15-20 minutes), the computer would go to sleep.As I've used it more, I've added a few different software items here and there. This computer is mainly used for school and leisure work, so there are no "heavy duty" programs on there. Recently, however, I've noticed that the computer will continue to stay on and the fan running (or something is humming) all of the time. Is there a way to check what program may be running that makes the computer think there is activity, when there is none?
View 2 RepliesI have installed W10 twice using the update feature. Everything work fine except when I want to shutdown or put the machine to sleep by clicking on those options, the machine makes noise like the HD is working. It then just shuts down and reboots again. The only way I can shut it off is by using the button on the computer.
View 2 RepliesAfter shutting down my computer every night, at some point during the night the computer is randomly turning itself on. I have not changed anything that would indicate that this should occur. It didn't happen when I had Windows 8.1 and now that I have Windows 10 it does happen.How to fix it?
View 1 RepliesI updated my PC last night and when it was over, I shut it down. This morning, when I woke up and started it, I tried entering my PIN and it told me that it was incorrect. I tried entering my MS password, which I know it's correct, and it told me the same thing. Now I can't log in on my computer.
View 9 RepliesYes I'm a Windows Insider and should get the release version of Win 10 on the 29th based on my usual fast "flight" fairly quickly for my Win 10 preview installation. Based on my email address will that give me a reasonably early download of Win 10 on my Win 7 computer? If not can I use the Install.esd to make a release version iso for my Win 7 computer?
