Reset PC Shows Two Versions Of Windows

Nov 18, 2015

Suddenly today I started my PC and got bootmgr missing error. Tried scan disk and bootrec commands to fix to no avail. Used a repair disc and ran startup repair but nothing works. I went to option to reset the PC and it is showing two versions of windows. One says"Windows 10" and the other "Windows 10 Home". Don't understand what happened here. This is a week after the latest build update and my PC was running fine up to this point.

Windows Desktop Shows Nothing?

Nov 23, 2015

I just downloaded Windows 10 today. I can't see any icons, desktop, find the start menu or anything else. I read it does dual-monitors but I can't figure out how to switch when I can't see anything. I have an Alienware computer. Should I call Dell or talk to Microsoft support? The picture isn't clear but that's my desktop.

Add Previous Versions 3D Effects?

Jan 4, 2016

I've just upgraded from win7 to win10. I really hate the completely flat look of the windows, not only does it seem like a major step back 30 years in time, it's difficult to see where the borders of the windows end and other things on the screen begin. is there something i can do to put back the 3-d effects [rounded edges and corners, shadowing, etc.] that was part of windows versions up through windows 7 ? I've already installed a 3rd-party app called 'classic shell' -- that's a real life saver! -- but while it fixes some things, it doesn't seem to address this particular issue.

Apps :: How To Update ALL DirectX Versions

Oct 28, 2015

Sometimes when i install games i get an error saying that a d3dx9_43.dll or something like that is missing and i know that it's got something to do with DirectX. I don't know what the Latest version of DirectX is for Windows 10 but mine is version10 and through Google i discovered that there is already a version12 and i don't know how to update/install it.

I tried downloading DirectX end-user runtime web installer Download DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from Official Microsoft Download Center to update all versions (from 1 to latest) but i keep getting an error saying that "A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted. Please verify the Cryptographic Services are enabled and the cabinet file is valid. " everytime i run the installer. Is there a way to fix this? How can i update to all (complete) DirectX versions?

Old Versions Of Files And Folders On 2nd Drive

Aug 26, 2015

I have decided to migrate to Win10 while maintaining my Win7 system until I'm sure (on the same box). Win 10 is installed on a new SSD, Win7 on an old SSD, with all my files held on a 1TB drive so I planned to just save any files I needed, like brower shortcuts on the storage drive.

In Win 10 I have had no issues viewing the files on this drive until today. I have a simple text file for storing information about the migration, and I can open it, but only see an old version of the file. It is fine in Win7. New files and folders I create in Win7 are not visible in Win10 at all now. What am I missing given all the old files created in Win7 are working fine?

E.G. If I boot into Windows 7 and create a folder on the root of the storage drive, called test, then boot into Windows 10 from my other SSD not only can't I see the test folder, I can create a folder named test. I've not booted into Win7 yet to see if I can see that from there.

Performance :: Reliability Monitor Shows Constant Windows Crashes?

Aug 22, 2015

Since upgrading to Win 10, I have noticed that with most (but not all) system shutdowns and restarts, it result in a nice red X with the 'Windows was not properly shut down" Clicking on it gives no clues, just says "The previous shutdown at [time] on [date] was unexpected.

There is no other indication other than what the Reliability Monitor reports. I would not even be aware there was an issue. The PC starts as normal with no errors on every boot.

Any Way Of Restoring Original Images Even If Edited Versions Deleted?

Sep 25, 2015

Is there is a way to see original photos even if the edited versions have been deleted?

For example, on Windows 7, in Windows Photo Viewer, there was an option under settings I think which said 'show original photos'. When you clicked on this option it showed all your original photos before they had been edited, even if the edited versions had been deleted from the recycle bin.

Is there an equivalent on Windows 10? What I'm looking for is not to see the original photo of a photo which I have edited which has not been deleted, but to see the original photo of a photo that I have deleted from my recycle bin.

Apps :: Windows Photo Viewer Shows Images Too Dark After Monitor Calibration

Mar 5, 2016

The Windows Photo Viewer was perfect for me in Windows 7 so I got it working on Windows 10, too. The new Photos software that came with Windows 10 is useless to me because it doesn't zoom, at lease I can't figure out how as of yet. I just want to keep things simple with the Windows Photo Viewer.

All was OK until I calibrated my monitors & at about the same time there was a Windows update. After calibration the monitors looked much better. But when I opened the Windows Photo Viewer I noticed all photos looked extremely dark. All other photo viewing software shows the same photos normal. I just assumed it was the Windows update that caused this but it wasn't that.

Today I have figured it out that the problem is Windows Photo Viewer software is somehow clashing with my monitor color profile. If I remove the .icc profile, the photos look normal using Windows Photo Viewer. Once the monitor profile is returned, they go back to too dark. As I said, other photo viewing software is not affected by this profile, just Windows Photo Viewer.

I don't have a clue how to fix this other than returning to the default profile which would wreck my Photoshop business. It just seem odd that the color profile only effects the Windows Photo Viewer this way & not other programs.

PC Reset Will Not Keep Windows Activated?

Jul 17, 2015

I've upgraded my Windows 8.1 Pro (activated with DreamSpark key) to the Windows 10 Build 10162 and then to the latest Build 10240. Now, I want to do PC reset. To complete that, I'll need a installation media, so I've already downloaded ESD of Build 10240 and converted to ISO.

Will my PC stay activated after the reset? Will my PC stay activated when I upgrade to RTM and do clean install via ISO when it's available?

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?

After Reset Windows Needs To Repair Drive?

Oct 1, 2015

My friend's 2 day old Toshiba laptop started giving System Thread Exception Not Handled error, and went into a rebooting loop. I researched this on the web, but none of the usual fixes for this issue would work.

I decided to do a Reset, told it not to save any files.

It did the reset, counting up from 1% to 100% over the course of about 30 minutes, then went to a screen that said "scanning and repairing errors". That took about 15 minutes.

After the scanning and repairing, it went to a 3rd screen that only said "Installing Windows Your PC will restart several times". With a large percent counter in the middle that sat at 1% for about 10 minutes, then went to 2% and is sitting there right now, for about 5 minutes. Now it has moved up to 6%, been at that for about 5 minutes now. Below that in small letters it says "installing features and drivers" This seems odd because I thought it was doing that in the first step.

When I've reset computers in the past (those were Win 8) all I remember it doing was the first of these 3 steps, and then it rebooted and was done. Is this behavior normal in Win 10 or is there a problem here that we should consider returning this computer?

Cannot Boot Windows After Interrupted Factory Reset

Mar 2, 2016

So yesterday I tried to factory reset my MSI gt70 dominator. After it got stuck at 2% and left it overnight to come back the day after to see it was still stuck at 2%, I decided to manually turn off the computer. Now I don't seem to be able to do anything exept go in UEFI. From there it seems I could try to reset again but it doesn't work, saying "unable to reset your pc. A required drive partition is missing".My laptop came with 8.1 already installed, so I don't have any windows cd.

Installation :: Windows Reset To Original Config Every Boot

Feb 10, 2016

I was working with my computer the other day and it rebooted spontaneously. When it did I got a "Preparing Windows" or "Configuring Windows" message after I logged in and when if finished I was back at the very first Windows set up. None of my start menu adjustments were there, none of my mouse, wallpaper, etc. settings were in place, and worst of all I lost all my settings for my Firefox and Thunderbird applications which meant all of my mail history, address book, etc. btw, I wasn't connected to the internet at the time, my connection was down.

I get a message saying it can't? find a profile so it is creating a temp one which will be deleted on shutdown.

I should point out that my files are still there, except for Appdata/Roaming and I do have a back up of my data so if I can stop this reset behavior I can recover data.

Now it reconfigures at every reboot. Even after reestablishing my internet connection.

Possible To Factory Reset A Computer And Have It Reinstall Windows Onto A Different Hard Drive?

Feb 20, 2016

So i have 2 hard drives, one new and one beginning to die on me. I have windows on the dying hard drive, and do not have the original disks or product key. I tried using DriveImage XML to copy everything onto the new drive, but for some reason when it boots it says "Hard disk failure" when i have the just the new hard drive in there (i am 100% sure it is plugged in properly). I really dont have the money to buy a new windows disk, and so i was wondering if it would work if i were to factory reset my computer and have windows 10 reinstall on my new hard drive, or is there an easier way?

Windows Media Creation Tool As Factory Reset With / Without Drivers?

Dec 25, 2015

I have Windows 10 and I want to factory reset (delete all my files too, FRESH install of windows).

I have a custom build computer, so I do not have a traditional factory reset button in my settings.

I don't have a backup, I forgot to make one however I will make one later!

Specs : [URL]

If I use the Media Creation Tool to do a factory reset (delete all my files), I will get Windows 10 again as a fresh copy, right?

If so does it copy all the drivers or do I have to download and install them again? Or does it do all the work for me and install the latest drivers by itself?
