Installation :: How To Reset PC If Settings Doesn't Work

Oct 23, 2015

I installed (took 8 hours of updating 7 then installing 10) windows 10 and it worked for a few minutes but then I added some software.

Control panel won't work, settings wont work, I cannot uninstall software, I cannot get to reset, restore is turned off (I did not turn it off), safe mode will not work.

Sometimes it will boot sometimes not. No I cannot boot to safe mode when I get logged in, I set boot mode to safe but it did not work.

I want to tool back to 7 but I don't have a disc. If I am forced to stay with 10 how can I reset it? There is no disc.

Installation :: Reset This PC Doesn't Work

Apr 14, 2016

I've recently upgraded to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Professional. Since doing so I've had some annoying internet connectivity issues (Windows Sockets entries missing) among other things. So I decided I'd try the recovered features. None of them work for me. I click on them and my mouse icon does the load symbol then nothing happens. Even if I shift click Restart on and try to initiate reset from there nothing happens.

Factory Reset Doesn't Work

Aug 5, 2015

I want to factory reset my Asus UX301LA laptop running Windows 10 (came with 8.1), but Windows demands recovery media. The install disk wasn't included when I bought the laptop. I tried creating recovery media using the build-in program, but it says that some needed files are missing and that I should use the install disk. Is there any other way I can factory reset.

Mouse And Keyboard Doesn't Work After Reset

Aug 21, 2015

My mouse and keyboard (both are USB) don't work, but they are lit up. I tried replugging them, but that doesn't work. I tried using F8, but that doesn't work. I also don't have a PS/2 port, as I am running BootCamp on a Mac. I even tried using the Apple Keyboard.

Before this problem, I had issues with BAD_POOL_HEADER (BSoD) on Windows 10 after updating drivers. Checking if I had any system restores, it didn't have any that I made before the update. So, I reset my computer, with all files intact. Then my problem arises; keyboard and mouse do not work, and I'm pretty much stuck on the login screen.

Installation :: Reset This PC Doesn't Clean Install

Sep 13, 2015

I read that Reset This PC does a clean install of windows. I waited hours, and when it completed, I had the same loadout as before, with all the Asus bloatware.

So, I read Windows 10 doesn't need a recovery partition anymore. I figured since I had one, Reset This PC loaded from there.

I deleted the recovery partition, ran Reset This PC again, and I got the following error: "Could not find the recovery environment"

So, I can never use reset this pc again? How can I make a new recovery partition, after I spend days manually researching whats needed and removing all the bloatware?

Installation :: Windows Reset Won't Work

Feb 10, 2016

Newish computer, recently upgraded to Windows 10.

Trying to do a PC Reset via the settings to wipe clean to sell it. When I click Reset in the Recovery menu of the Settings, I get a scrolling wheel for a second or so, and then nothing. It's as if something on the computer is blocking the computer from being reset.

When I try from the Advanced startup, it goes through a normal restart but doesn't do anything else.

I know that in the week that my mother had this computer, she managed to get a couple viruses from 3rd party search bars that she was prompted to download which were causing issues. I wonder if I didn't get it all cleaned off and there is something that won't let the computer reset?

Installation :: Scrolling Inactive Windows Doesn't Work

Oct 22, 2015

I have installed the Win 10 enterprise LTSB the trial version. So far, so good, with the exception of two details:

- The scrolling of inactive windows isn't working properly. I mean, it works only when the "Settings" window is the active, then I can scroll the inactive windows underneath it, but nothing else.

- I tried to update the system, hoping that it would fix the issue, but it doesn't download anything.

Maybe the update function is disabled in the trial version?

Start Menu Doesn't Appear - Windows Key Doesn't Work

Aug 25, 2015

Updated to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 two weeks ago.

Had problems with Firefox.  Tried to download to replace existing Firefox.  CNET site appeared to be correct but something seemed wrong so I killed the download. But.

- The windows start menu doesn't come up when I click on the icon, but if I right-click, a text menu does appear and lets me, for example, shut down.

.- If I click on the Windows End icon in the task bar, the screen flashes but End does not come up.  Ditto for the Windows Store icon.

-  Somewhere SpyBot S&D was erased, but I was able to download it.

- If I double-click on a photo in Windows Explorer, I get a popup that lists the name of the jpeg and says Invalid Entry to Registry.  If I right click on the photo and go to any of the options the photo is opened except if I choose Photo.

- Firefox cannot properly display the Yahoo mail page, though Pale Moon and Opera can.

- I have Avast Anti-Virus and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and when I run their scans, they find no issues.

Apps :: How To RESET Microphone To Work With Cortana

Aug 10, 2015

When I turned on Cortana for the first time, I was prompted to read a certain sentence out loud in order for my microphone to be automatically set up and adapted to Cortana. Because I was a bit nervous using Win 10 for the first time, I said Hello Hello Hello in stead of the prescribed sentence. My microphone was set up on this clumsy basis. Now Cortana will only recognize the word Hello when I say it. How can I create another opportunity to adapt my microphone to Cortana by saying the prescribed sentence?

Drivers/Hardware :: Mouse Settings Reset On Every Login

Aug 2, 2015

I downloaded Windows 10 a few days ago, and every time I turn off my computer and log back in, my mouse settings revert back to their defaults. The defaults have a lot of annoying extra features, and the scroll is backwards. Every time I change the mouse settings to my preferences and apply them, on the next restart they are back to defaults.

How to make my settings permanent? I'm sure once a patch or two for Windows 10 comes in the problem will sort itself out, but in the meantime?

Internet Doesn't Work

Mar 26, 2016

Having problems with Internet connectivity in windows 10 while having eset nod32 9 installed?I did the latest update to windows 10, and now my Internet doesn't work. I get an error while trying to repair of "windows sockets registry entries required for Internet connectivity are missing". I un-install eset, Internet comes back immediately.

This is a common problem, but people don't seem to be connecting it with their virus scanner. Installing free avast makes the computer go directly into repair mode and won't even boot. Windows 10 seems to not like virus scanners. It is a fresh build, OEM windows 10 home, tried to reinstall the system twice with the same results.

Page Plus X4 Doesn't Work After New Update

Jan 5, 2016

Windows 10 went wrong Again! First I lost all my favorites, then my Computer experienced exceptions (what ever they are?) followed by random Crashes.

So I did a clean install using my ISO disc and tried to Install Page Plus X4 which was working fine before but it won't work now, even though I installed the latest patch.

I get told its an incompatible Programme, even though it worked OK before I did a clean install, with a note that says that Microsoft are looking for a Solution (you could have fooled me!) also I did the bit about using the Settings that worked on a Previous Programme but that didn't fix it either.

Also uninstalled and re installed the Programme but that didn't work either as did installing net framework.

Also when I get new emails, I am no longer getting advised of any new emails, so I have to keep checking my email box myself.

I looks like I may have to do yet another Clean Install.

I've tried turning off the Automatic Updates but that doesn't seem to work (maybe I'm doing it wrong, so how do I do that).

Screensaver Doesn't Work With Pictures

I know some people have had issues with the screensaver not working. In my case all the screensavers work, except the one I want -pictures. I have always used pictures as a screensaver with other windows os with no problem.

What happens is I can see the pictures scrolling in the mini monitor it shows you, but when I hit preview or when it goes into action, the screen goes black. I have tried using different folders in different drives and using different pictures, but still nothing but black.

Performance :: Task Bar Doesn't Work

Oct 18, 2015

My laptop is upgraded to W10 and my pc is in progress.There are several problems. Questions are underlined. tldr version available below.

First, for my laptop.
-After installation, it doesn't show my desktop. I need to use task manager to show it. Is this normal?
-As it shows, the task bar doesn't work. I used the command for powershell and nice amount of restart, and it works. But, this problem appears again. I need to do the same thing again and i don't want this to happen anymore. How to prevent the taskbar error?

tldr :
1. Why my desktop don't appear after installation?
2. The taskbar doesn't work. After a hard work, it's fixed. But, it doesn't work again. Done the same thing and fixed again.

Start Button Doesn't Work

Oct 12, 2015

I upgraded recently from w8.1 to w10 using free UG offered by MS. It has been working well until about a week ago, when suddenly one evening (it worked well throughout the day) when I clicked on the start button the tiles did not show up. I have done sfc scan and DIMS/restore health many times; all of them show there are no system integrity issues. I am able to work on my files by going through file explorer. Right click on start button works, but left click doesn't.

About two days ago, I got a notification windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw5n142txeyewy!microsoft.windows.in. I searched all over for a solution to this problem...and finally in one of the threads in this site I found the following solution provided by USgroupie in August 2015 (13th Aug) to enter the following command in Powershell - Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml"} - I entered this and the system ran the whole process and did come up with a number of red-notifications saying it could not register a number of Apps...

However, the beauty is that after I upgraded to w10, I have not installed any apps except ofcourse the office 2010, adobe reader and such. In fact I have never used the app store...I have an MS account but I use only a local account.

Whenever I right click my desktop it brings up the usual thing where I can change my wallpaper etc. but when I left click my taskbar's notifications, volume settings or the internet thing, nothing happens. When I right click any of my apps like, skype, steam, origin, web browser in the taskbar, nothing happens either. Nothing pops up. It just stays like that and doesn't work.

RTM Via Upgrade - Control Panel Doesn't Work

Jul 30, 2015

After an upgrade to RTM - if you try and run Control panel from the start button (right mouse) it appears but you can't do anything with it -- and it eventually disappears so you can't access any of the items on it any more.

I know you can do a lot of things in Settings via the menu -- but IMO if Control Panel doesn't work then it should be removed from any menu.
