Since I downloaded Windows 10 I have to unplug and plug the computer in every morning to start it. During the day it will come on by hitting a key stroke but after sitting for several hours it will not start. I can hit the switch on the computer and the light on the computer comes on but will not start until it is unplugged and plugged back in. I have a gateway with two lights on the front. The best I can tell one indicates the power is on and the other one is for the processor. The second one is the one that will not light up until unplugged and plugged back in. I was thinking it has something to do with going to sleep/hibernation but can not find any where I can change that.
I'm having an issue with my system where, while my G430 USB headset is plugged into 1 of the 3(2x2.0 and 1x3.0) USB ports on the front of my case the other 2.0 USB doesn't not seem to work or rather Windows 10 PRO won't recognize my USB key(I've used tried multiple USB keys already). I hate having to disconnect my headset every damn time I'm sitting here waiting for a file to be copied onto my USB!
System: - WINDOWS 10 PRO - R1 ZALMAN (PC case) - MAXIMUS VII RANGER (Motherboard) - I7 4770K (CPU) - KELVIN S24 FRACTAL DESIGN (CPU COOLER) - ASUS R9 270X DirectCU2 TOP 2GB (GPU) ...etc.
1. After clean installing to Windows 10 (by formatting and then deleting all drives and installing Windows to the unallocated space), I get these hidden drives (the ones that are not the C drive).
- What are these drives and can I remove it? - Previously when I did a clean install to Windows 8.1, there was only the C drive and the System Reserved partition, where is it now? I thought that it's created when you install Windows to the unallocated space, but apparently not always.
If you can't see the image, there is: + No name, 1mb unallocated space. + Recovery, type GPT (Unused Partition). + No name, type GPT (EFI System Partition). + No name, type GPT (Reserved Partition).
2. Would it be more "clean" if: + During the install window, I delete all drives, install Windows to the unallocated space, then once Windows is all set up, install a partition program such as EaseUs' and create new drives. Or + During the install window, I delete all drives, then create new drives, then install Windows to the C drive?
3. Do I need the Intel Driver? The only Intel driver that's suitable with Windows 10, as I checked on that page, is in Beta. (I'm making a list of all the programs and software I need to install after )
4. When installing Windows 7, it asked that I must unplug my USB after it's done installing everything, and so I get the laptop cleaned. But to Windows 8, it didn't ask that anymore, but the screen and pretty much is still the same. Can I unplug the USB during its "10 seconds till restart"?
I'm experiencing sound issues in Windows 10. What happens is my laptop speakers work fine, I plug headphones in and they work fine, then I unplug the headphones and I don't get audio anymore - it used to seemlessly switch back to my laptop speakers. I've been having no trouble with this in windows 10 since upgrading until today. I tried reinstalling the sound card driver - that didn't work. Once it gets stuck on the headphones all I can do to reset it to my speakers is to go to the device and properties > advanced > reset to default (I noticed all this does is change the bitrate in the dropdown).
Is it only me or has Microsoft removed this bubble, which always popped up when you could eject a device? In Windows 10 I never see it. This makes the Safe Eject function hard to use - I never know, whether I now can unplug the device or if I can't.
When the device is used currently, then there is an according error message - which is absolutely fine.
But when there is no such error, I am left back clueless as to whether ejecting now worked or if it just did not work. It would be great, to at least get any feedback then...
Has the "You can unplug now" notice been removed? Or is this some kind of bug, which only I am having?
When I built my desktop I plugged a wd green 1tb hard drive so I can copy all of the data from it to my 2 tb green wd
Now I want to unplug that 1tb green hard drive and replace it with a new one? Will that cause system slow? Because windows may thing the drive is still there? No need to clean install again?
Upgraded from Windows 7 a couple of months ago with no issues. Then a few weeks ago computer wouldn't boot and needed several tries of using the reset button and also turning it off and on to get it going. No error messages at all. Tried a clean boot to no avail and yesterday used the Recovery/ Reset option. No issues with that, all went well and I re-installed a few programmes like Mailwasher, Avast, Malwarebytes, Firefox and Thunderbird. This morning it was back to the old issue of not booting for several tries. Then it came on.
So the Reset did nothing. I have never received any error messages. Once it gets going it works fine but it is becoming very tedious to have to wait so long for it to start.
Last winter I built my own computer. I had to try to install windows 8.1 like three times because something was mess up. It eventually worked. Every time I turn my pc on it has a 50% chance to boot normally. The other 50%, my computer blacks out. The screen is the solid color of my windows color. I can either wait 20 minutes for it to fix itself or press the reset button. It still happens when I installed windows 10. Also when I put my pc on sleep it sometimes freezes up. I can use my mouse to press the restart button and it will take a minute to reboot. What is the problem? Should I replace some parts or look inside?
I lost power throughout the night and my desktop keeps coming up with "your pc did not start correctly". Restarting it won't work either. When I troubleshot and do a "reset this pc" it keeps coming up with "there was a problem resetting your pc" no changes were made". Nothing is working for me.
well Windows 10 installed smoothly starting from inside hub.The computer from my wife installed in the same way, BUT while i can get the STARTSCREEN, she gets the older start that was there in some of the previous builds.
I installed windows 10 and it worked fine for the 1st day then it went nuts. I tried to restore it can't find a restore point. I tried to recover and I can't find the back up disk. I tried reseting and that didn't work. I don't know what else to do.
I have a laptop (Acer M3-581T), and it's in a bootloop between diagnosing/repairing your PC, can't repair and the blue screen.
I've got a recovery drive setup and wondering if there's anything I can do?
I'm fairly sure the computer had McAfee and a Kaspersky with a version not compatible with Windows 10, I'm not sure if these have anything to do with it.
Also I believe it started after Office 2016 was installed.
I'm not sure if there's a way to get a debug file since if I can even get to the Safe mode options, it restarts into the same bootloop.
Start don't work, and Computer is 5 times slower. We used, sfc/scannow a bunch of times with a restate each time but didn't work at all. We were thinking about uninstalling windows 10 back to Windows 7. The computer ran windows 10 for about 2 weeks just fine and then this happened.
My laptop began moving incredibly slow last night, like the cursor would hardly move and it sounded like it was running extra hard. I turned it off and this morning it won't load past the start up screen. And still, the windows loading icon spins incredibly slow.
Eventually it goes to a black screen for some time, then the automatic repair icon appears, then "diagnosing your pc". It made it past that once and got to the advanced option screen but was moving so slowly that I couldn't click on anything.
All of the previous versions of Windows that I ever set up, you were able to set auto-start with no password. Inow have Windows 10 and can't for the life of me find a way to do this. Is it not available option now in Win 10 ?
Computer was fine till I accidentally hit the power off button while trying to find the model number. Now I can't make it start at all. I tried restart. I tried shutting off and restarting. I have tried system restore and that did not complete successfully. Now I tried go back to previous build and it has said "restarting" for 30 minutes....
I recently upgraded my SENS 900X Samsung laptop from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10. I did the easy upgrade, not a clean install. I did reformat my computer while it was in Windows 7, updated it, then upgraded to Windows 10.
When I turn on or restart my computer, I get a message which says:
I found : Link: Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10
However, after performing step 3, I get this message: "Your power plan information isn't available. Access is denied."
It has been doing this EVERY time I restart or start up my computer. It is very annoying as it clears some of my apps. It also says it is putting me on a temporary account or something like that.
Whenever I shut down my computer, I always have this problem. The Windows 10 insignia and the loading circle beneath will appear, then the screen will fade to black, and then my monitor says it can't detect my computer. I then have to unplug my computer from the outlet because I can't shut it down by pressing the power button. When I start it up again afterwards, it will start perfectly fine. And whenever I try to change the boot configurations, it automatically resets itself to the previous version.
I accidentally upgraded from 7 to 10 on my desktop computer, and now I no longer have a start button, nor the ability to find any recognizable function like control panel, to enable me to uninstall.
So today I tried to update to windows 10 from windows 7 through the "get windows 10" app on my desktop. Everything went well until reboots started. When my computer attempted to reboot it stuck at start up screen where you are supposed to either go to boot menu by pressing f12 or let your system boot like it should.
Is it normal for the Start Menu pane to appear as soon as the computer boots up or comes out of hibernate? This happens on mine every time and I see nothing in Settings to change it. As soon as Windows opens, I have to click to close the Start Menu pane. It would be nice to not have that happen. Is there a way to change this, or is it a normal thing now?
