I did an Upgrade from W7 Pro 64 bit to Windows 10 and it worked fine but the three printers attached to the computer no longer work. The print Spooler is stopped and all efforts to restart it fail with Error 0x80070057 "Incorrect parameter".

So, my Windows 10 tech preview, starting with build something, says 'You need to verify your identity' under "Accounts". When I try to do that, it pops up with a window saying "the parameter is incorrect". This makes services like mail, onedrive, albums and so on unusable since I am not authenticated
View 3 RepliesI first got an error saying "Critical error: cortina and some apps may not work." To fix that I turned on safe mode and restarted. Now, I can't log in. Whenever I try to, and I press enter, it says "the parameter is incorrect"
View 1 RepliesI'm stuck with my print spooler that doesn't want to start. It was working fine before the upgrade. I get the following message when going to the "view services on local computer" and try to start the print spooler service:
Windows could not start the Print Spooler service on Local Computer. Error 0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect.
I get the following message in the event viewer:
The Print Spooler service terminated with the following error:

I have checked the following registry entry as described in [FIX] Windows Could Not Start The Print Spooler Service. This didn't work. How to make the print spooler service work?
I am using am iMac with Bootcamp running Win 7. I have just upgraded to Win 10 with no problems. Except I can now not read my 2 x WD USB external drives. I am getting "the parameter is incorrect" error. In disk management it says the drives are active but RAW. If I connect the 2 drives to any other machine either Win 7 or 10 they are fine, so no fault with the drives. These 2 drives have always been used on the PC in question when running Win 7.
I have tried changing the drive names etc but still cannot read.
My only solution may be to connect the drives to another PC, back up, then format the drives?
I have Windows 7 Pro 64bit on a desktop and I have never requested the W10 upgrade. Two days ago when I went to Windows update I got a surprise. The screen below showed up!
My update options was changed to automatic from notify me and I can't install some real W7 updates waiting in the wings.
I worked with Microsoft Support for 2 hours yesterday evening and nothing has really changed. The Get Windows 10 app KB3035583 was uninstalled and so was KB2952664. How to get the Windows Update screen back to allowing other updates. I'd like to be able to put the waiting updates on and put W10 on sometime later this year. I don't understand why I am being forced to do the upgrade.
The printers do not show in "device manager" but they appear in Devices & Printers. If I select it and click on "remove" it temp goes away but reappears again later.

I just upgrade after purchasing this laptop 2 days ago. After the first restart of the successful upgrade I can't log in. I'm using the right password and have changed it and used that with no success. I can't do anything with this computer and like I said just bought it and need it for work.
I had windows 8 on my toshiba laptop and due to having lost my glasses for a week I upsized the screen to make everything larger - I didnt think about this and then free upgraded to Windows 10. Now my display is stuck at the bigger size which causes issues with allsorts of programs for example I may not be able to see the OK box to click it as it is below edge of screen however if I go into screen settings to try and reduce the size it says I am set to the smallest size .....
View 3 RepliesA few years ago i bought a windows 8.0 pro upgrade dvd with a windows 8 pro upgrade key.
Will this windows 8.0 pro upgrade key work when i do a clean install of windows 10 pro version 1511?Or will it only work with a full licence key?
I have upgraded my 7 install to Windows 10 this morning. All works fine & 10 says my copy is genuine and validated.
After that, I decided to create a copy of 10 install on DVD with the Windows 10 tool.
At lauch of install, Windows doesn't recognize my old 7 key. I thought "ok maybe it will activate at the end of install"
But NO ! I get my clean & fresh install of 10 but it doesn't activate my copy.
So Win7/8 users who wants Win10, you should install your old version and make the upgrade manually. each time...
If I buy a OEM key from a store, can I go to the enter product key section of the settings and use that key? I think I heard somewhere that OEM keys can only be used when you're installing windows, not on an already installed windows.

Video works fine in both directions.
Incoming audio works fine but people on the other end can't hear me.
Went to Logitech website to update drivers and drivers are current.
Device Manager says device working properly.
Can't find System & Security in Win10. I'm sure it's there somewhere; but it didn't automatically back up since I installed the upgrade.
View 1 Repliesis it possible to uninstall the first installed OS (Windows 8.1) in the SSD that has also win 10 installed into the second partition without losing data in win 10? If not from windows tools maybe using some software? Currently this is how my SSD is:
Disk0: [System Reserved:350Mt][D:233Gt][C:231Gt][Recovery:450Mt] D being windows 8.1
I just installed a new SSD (disk 1) on my laptop and used Samsung's tool to clone my OS drive (C: on disk 2) onto it. This was done with no error, however I cannot boot from the new SSD in bios, as this hangs up the computer.
I assume this has to do with C: still being the boot and active partition, and the system partition (also active) being on Disk 0 (HDD).
I attached my disk management screenshot for reference.
How to make my new SSD (disk 1) the boot drive? For info, I do not have a windows OS CD but already created a windows 10 repair disk.
I have this problem when i want to install win10 from by bootable usb It says Select the driver to be installed.
how to fix?
I've just bought a new SSD (Samsung EVO 850 250GB) for my Dell XPS 15 (L521x). After I inserted it into my laptop i intalled Windows 10 Home Pro. The installation process happened without any error, the laptop restarted several times (which is normal during the installation) and then booted to the desktop. again, no error whatsover. now, when i try to turn off or reboot my laptop, it is not able to power off automatically (i've waited for over an hour). so i have to power it off forcefully by pressing the power button for several seconds). if i want to reboot the laptop, it gets stuck at the dell logo, the little circle is spinning but nothing else is happening. i have updated all drivers, tried to boot into safe-mode, nothing worked
The current bios version is up to date (A16), SATA operation mode is AHCI, according to Samsung Magician (which i was able to install) everything is configured correctly.
Got a perfect upgrade from Win7 Pro to Win10 Pro for any programs that were on the boot disk. However any programs that were loaded on a second (non-bootable) disk were not recognized at all. Is there any way, other than reloading all those programs, to get Win10 Pro to know they are there? I thought this would be caught when the system upgraded but this did not happen. I was trying to keep my boot drive lean and mean.
View 5 RepliesI have a Acer Aspire XC-603G desktop upgraded to Windows 10 64bit Home (no Hyper-V). I want to run 16 bit software that is incompatible. I would like to dual boot with Vista x86 (gave away my XP). From what I understand, you must load the older version first due to Windows 10's MBR. Can I backup/clone Windows 10 partition, reformat and repartition the HDD, install Vista in first partition, then restore Windows 10 to the second partition? I'm thinking I'll need a fresh Windows 10 install. Or is there a simpler way? The only other way I see is to buy the Pro upgrade to get Hyper-V. And if I did the latter would it really be compatible with my Windows 95 16bit ImageReader Scanner software?

I read solutions to this and most of them write I must format my entire hard drive, but I can't do that because that would mean losing all my data.
Running windows 10 my system seems to crash after or while updates are being installed. Yesterday after getting it up again I somehow found a list of failed updates. Today I cannot find them. Where the list of successful or failed updates can be found?
