Desktop Completely Changed And Nothing Works?

Sep 1, 2015

I was recently browsing the internet (on windows 10) when suddenly it crashes then restarts. Instead of restarting fully it did a disk analysis. It restarted a few times when doing this scan but eventually it finished. When restarting it brought up a completely new desktop picture and had no password. This was completely different to mine. When going onto the desktop there was no taskbar, no recycling bin, but only 4 small white buttons in the bottom right corner. These buttons consist of language, wireless connection, ease of access? and power. None of these buttons seem to do much if nothing. In ease of accses there is a tab saying on screen keyboard and when clicked nothing happens. You cannot right click on the desktop either!

Error 0x80070006 Installing Apps To SD - Works Fine When Changed C Drive?

Nov 29, 2015

I have an HP Stream 7 that only has 32 GB of space. I put in an SD card and changed the default location in "Storage" to install all new apps to the SD card. Whenever I try to install an app now, I get an error and will not install. When I changed it back to install on C, it downloads and works fine. Is there any work arounds? I saw that someone mentioned they installed the apps to C, and then moved them to the SD card.

Desktop / Start Menu Changed

Aug 15, 2015

My wife's laptop auto updated to Windows 10 last week and everything had been working perfectly until yesterday. Suddenly her desktop/start menu reverted from the new Windows 10 start menu to the old Windows 8.1 desktop. I did some searching and supposedly if you go through control panel, appearance, taskbar and start menu properties there should be a start menu tab where you select which one you want. That tab doesn't exist on her machine or mine for that matter.

I have reg file, which alter some restricted keys and it works only from desktop.

Like: [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun]

I do not understand this, I am an admin, it does not work, whenever UAC is On or OFF.

I get a successful confirmation message from any location, but obviously it is lying to me.

Desktop Freezing Only One Program Works At A Time

Feb 13, 2016

So, beginning the other day my computer has been having this problem where everything becomes unresponsive except for whatever I currently have open.

To explain: When I start up my computer, if I first open up an internet browser, I can no longer click on anything on the desktop or taskbar or anything. If I have multiple programs open, such as my browser, Skype, and Steam, only one of them will ever work. Clicking on any of the others does nothing, and Alt-Tabbing will take me to the different programs, but only one is ever responsive at a time.

A temporary fix (i.e. a 15 second fix) is to CTRL-ALT-Delete into Task Manager, which for some reason allows all the programs to once again work. However, whichever one I go into for more than 10 seconds, that one becomes the only one to work, and the problem persists.

I've done two system restores, but they solved nothing. I even updated to Windows 10 to try and fix it, but no luck. My hope is to not have to do a full factory reset.

Computer Just Becomes Completely Unresponsive?

Aug 10, 2015

It's been a while since I've upgraded to Windows 10 but the problem still exists. To leave this short, when I'm doing something like watching a movie, installing files, browsing the web, playing a game, etc. My computer just becomes completely unresponsive. I can't move my mouse, I can't use ctrl+alt+delete to get to Task Manager, when I check to see if my keyboard is still working, I try to turn caps lock off and on and that doesn't work. So whatever this issue is, it's just completely crashing my computer. This freezing causes me to hard restart my computer every single time.

I don't want to get back to Windows 7 so I've been dealing with it by keeping my PC close to me that way I can restart it when needed, but it's annoying when you're trying to do something and all of a sudden your computer just freezes.

I've looked through all the processes, there's nothing unusual everything is working fine. It's a hidden process taking up my 7.6gbs of 8gbs of Ram. I've looked around for solutions and nothings worked. Ran a simple avg virus check. Nothing.

Screen Completely Off On Wakeup

Aug 11, 2015

Bought an Asus X550Z-WB11 off of Amazon, started it up, immediately upgraded to Win 10, and I'm getting issues with my screen.

If I let it fall asleep for say, ten minutes, then wake it up, it boots up normally, I see the screen for a moment, and then the screen turns of again and no button pressing turns or waiting turns it back on.

Sometimes I can get it to turn back on after it putting it to sleep then waking it up a few times; when I get a success the back light turns on and blinks several times, and then the screen turns on and blinks a few times before stabilizing.
If I turn it off and on, the screen usually turns on with no problem.

The first time I restarted my laptop, it told me there was an error and it fixed it, but the screen still blinks and I haven't gotten that message again.

The way it blinks reminds me of having a faulty composite connection and having to wiggle it around into the right position, but no angling of the screen, tilting of the laptop, or light tap anywhere had any effect.

It's not that black screen issue that everyone else has, the screen is completely off.

The X550Z-WB11 has:
AMD A10 7400p
Readeon R6 7400p
8GB Ram
1TB HDD

Mail App Only Works Occasionally

Jan 3, 2016

I have an Asus laptop 64-bit recently upgraded from Windows 7

My Windows 10 seems to be fine, except for the mail app inbox and notifications.

I have checked all the settings, but they must be correct anyway, because occasionally, an email arrives correctly in the inbox and I get a notification correctly. Then the next few just don't arrive in the inbox, but interestingly, when I click on "All mail" they are all there.

I have removed my (GMail) account and then reinstated it, but that made no difference.

I have tried to uninstall the app using Powershell, but it asked me for "parameters" and I didn't know what to do at that point!

how to make the inbox and related notifications work correctly?

Ethernet No Longer Works

Aug 2, 2015

I upgraded to windows 10 on my desktop pc on july 29th and haven't had any problems since. I know that upgrade/updates are forced to happen so when random issues occurred today I feel that maybe there was an update sent out? My ethernet no longer works, only to connect outside my LAN, but I can still remote desktop and access the computer so the port/cable still work and the router works for all other comps over ethernet. The internet goes in for a split second when I reset the adapter but then instantly goes out. I also noticed when launching a steam game the xbox controller no longer works to control it despite it working yesterday and the controller will control steam itself just not the games. Should I downgrade to windows 8.1 again, since I don't have internet anymore any fixes wouldn't even reach my computer?

I installed a software two days ago. Now I wish to uninstall it completely and want my PC to be in the state as it was before installing it. A simple uninstall may leave some of the backdoor components installed by this software. Unfortunately, Windows 10 has System Restore off by default which I forgot, so can't use the System Restore.

Prior to installing my ZoneAlarm, I wanna completely turn off my windows 10 firewall, for some reason, and it must be done only via registry:

Tablet No Longer Completely Boots

Nov 12, 2015

It gets as far as the login screen, and after I enter my password the circle of little dots just spin, and spin and spin...

I bought this tablet a week ago, it is an Acer One 10 s1002-145A. Earlier today I checked for updates, and tried to download the update to the new build. It never got past 0% downloading.

There were a lot of other strange problems that just started happening today also, when I would try to access links from the Control Panel, the screen would just become inactive - I was unable to interact with or close that window. This happened when I attempted to System Restore also. Attempting to open a CMD prompt as an Administrator would yield no results, except eventually an error message would appear telling me that the CMD window "failed to execute in a timely manner" (or something close to that).
