I just setup windows 10 mobile preview on my Nokia Icon last night. Last night the Start screen wasn't loading after about 5 minutes, and figured it was just updating, so I went to bed and left phone on. (screen says "Loading . . .", disappears, then "Loading . . .", etc)
This morning I load up phone, and it is doing the same thing. I cannot get the start screen to load.
However, it appears everything else is fairly functional: I'm able to open Cortana, I can launch internet browser, I can surf the web, I can send a text from Cortana, etc. But as soon as I go to start screen, it never loads.
Initially, the screen would loop on "Loading . . .". If I held down the back button, the tasks would show a blank Start task. But after I get cortana or another app to open, when I try to go 'home', it shows "Loading . . ." once, then immediately goes back to the app -- and if I check the tasks, it never shows 'Start'.
Every time now when I try to search something using that little bar in the bottom left, the loading icon shows but nothing else happens. It worked before. Now what is wrong with it?
For some reason this morning my computer was being really slow, freezing for a couple of minutes at a time especially when searching for programs, so I decided to restart it.
After that my computer took way longer than usual to boot up and when it did it opened to a black screen. I left it for 10 minutes and nothing had changed so I pressed Ctrl Alt Delete and then a message popped up saying something along the lines of log in and shutdown failure. I would post a picture of it but it won't from my phone and I currently don't have a functioning computer.
Now I've been waiting around a half hour after typing in my password for my computer to log in and it's been just a spinning wheel on a screen with my name on it.
Upgraded from Windows 7. Several pages load or don't load:
1. Control Panel loads but the screen is completely blank. 2. Customizing the font page won't even load. Get message the change font page won't load.
Why I get blank screens. Can't find anything on these problems. Have to work around them at present. Have found a workaround for the Control Panel but not the changing font utility.
The player just loads empty , white in colour with a few lines. I looked in search for threads regarding groove player but didn't see anything solved. Everything is updated & windows store is as well ,I also tried the troubleshooting.
After signing on and Windows 10 homepage loads, shortly after that the page flashes and is gone. It reloads and 30 seconds later it will flash again, on and off continually. Loaded Windows 10 24 hours earlier, the system was okay until early in the evening after a reboot. Now all reboots are the same. Lucky enough at one point I was able to get on the internet, but I can't get to my settings to find a fix.

I've been having this issue for a long time (not sure how long), some internet pages that require the browser to load resources/images/whatever are laggy as all hell. Sometimes they load fine, but other times it takes forever to load thumbnails of videos on Youtube or images on Google Images.I clean my cache and registry, using CCleaner, fairly often so it's not a clutter issue. I scan my computer fairly often too, using Malwarebytes and Windows Defender, and never found a threat so it's not a virus/malware issue. I have no internet toolbars, speed enhancing apps or any other programs of the kind. I also have my drivers up to date.
I'm evaluating Windows 10 for my company to check compatibility with our systems and general user experience. We're a small business, and we're presently running a mix of Win7 and Win8.1 machines, all running Pro and joined to our domain. The two machines I've upgraded to Win10 Pro both have the same issue:
File Explorer, when opened, has a loading bar that never finishes. It displays the text "Working on it..." in the file panel, and a very small tree in the folder panel, with just "Quick access," "Desktop," and "This PC" entries. Many controls in the ribbon are also greyed out, including Options, Open command prompt, and the layout controls. (See screenshot)
Possibly related, the recycle bin does not behave as expected. Even with files in the bin, the "Empty recycle bin" option is greyed out both in the ribbon and in context menu from the desktop icon. I can only fully delete files by selecting them within the bin and deleting them again. (See screenshot)
I've searched around for people with similar problems, but I found only one thread describing this issue, and with a preview build. That thread contained a work-around (start->run->c:) which usually works for me, but which brings up a very quirky File Explorer window, with a folder pane that only shows folders I have actually navigated to using the file pane. It is workable, but I can't ask a normal user to live with this experience, so our upgrade plans are on hold until I can get this resolved.
None of my personal machines, including a Surface Pro 3 now running Win10 Pro, are having this issue.
I just wanted to ask if it was bad that i had my HDD connected to a eSATA (Asmedia) port when installing my OS? I just tried switching the port from the eSATA ports to the regular SATA ports but it gives me BSOD saying "Inaccesible_Boot_Device". So i just plugged them back in eSATA ports.
My Start Screen very weird recently. I can't drag icon app to Start, I can't drag to organize app on Start, when I right click on app, only "More" appears, other options just gone,
Whenever I log-in from hibernate or boot, the start interface shows. I had this enabled in Windows 8.1 (start screen), but now I'm on 10 (no start screen) and it still shows.
There is no option to disable it. Is there a registry key to disable this?
Any of the items under games in this screen shot will not pin to my Start Screen? They will pin to my taskbar though. It's windows 10 Enterprise if that matters. I can right click and select Pin to Start, but nothing happens. Right click again and Pin To Start is still listed as an option, but doesn't do anything?
On startup, I have it set to display the Start Screen without the Start Menu. When I exit an app the Start Menu is displayed and I have to click the Windows icon to once again display only the Start Screen (tiles only).
Windows 10 install went fine a couple of wks ago. Computer ok last night. This am it had turned itself off. I rebooted thinking there must have been an automatic windows update. Start up screen is red. I can not access the start menu nor the internet.
I read of a possible fix and it said to click on Start and then go to Settings and then go to Personalize and then go to Start and click on " Use Full Start Screen". when I click on the start icon and right click it, I have to go to Control Panel to go to Settings and one of the options is Personalize but there are three choices below it and one of them does not say go to " Start" and then click Use Full Screen. I don't know if this is related or not, but over the same period of time recently, I get an email that I receive every couple of days and there is a link in the email. When I click on the link over the past few days, nothing happens.I have had Windows 10 for about three months and the PC is a Dell which is about three years old.
The first win 10 upgrade worked well on my Packard Bell Easynote TS11SB laptop, but the next upgrade REALLY SLOWED DOWN the startup process. Now 2 minutes. I've tried the highly unintuitive disable quick boot up trick to no avail.
My screen saver is set to display my Pictures on Shuffle after a minute, then go to Sleep after 25mns. There is nothing wrong with my Power settings, as that goes off OK, as one person had trouble with both. I upgraded to Windows 10 a couple of weeks ago from Windows 7 without any problems, and my screen saver has actually come on once since doing this.
I have changed to a WI FI modem about a week ago, but I'm sure the I had this when the screen saver came on. I do have a Logie Tech Skype auto mic plugged in which I don't use regularly, but haven't tried unplugging this to see. Everything worked perfectly with W7 and WXP before that. Even with these though, I did used to have the odd time when the screen saver didn't come on, but it always righted itself. Just wondering why, if it worked once, that it doesn't work now. My Desk Top just stays put for 25mns now that the screen saver doesn't come on, then goes to Sleep, but I know I could change the time for this.
Even if we don't need a screen saver now, I liked to see MY Pictures slideshow coming up, as they looked really nice. If it is a Microsoft Error, then I hope they will fix it. Mine's not due to poor maintenance, as I have AVG Tune-up and Security installed as well as the AVG anti-virus. The Tune-up keeps the Registry clean and cleans up the Desk Top and space management etc.
How to add groups to the Start Screen? I presently have 4 different groups and I can rename the groups, but I don't know how to add additional groups. I would like to add additional tiles to my start screen but want to keep them organized.
In Windows 8, we could pin a website to the Start Screen. I have updated to Windows 10 and cannot figure out how do so with the new OS. Am I missing something or is this not possible?
Right, it is clear that the value of live tiles is rather reduced if they don't appear at boot to announce all updates. Especially if you don't want them clogging up the notification centre with stuff less important than emails and other comms. Don't suggest tablet mode. Until W10 works properly with swipes on precision touch pads like the T650 (rather than basic touch pads only like the ones on laptops) touch mode is pretty horrid on desktops.I found the group policy setting to force boot to start screen in W10 but it is bugged and does not work. Until MS get around to fixing it, we need a work around.
All we need is to make a Windows script that runs at boot to bring up the start screen. But how? What is the command to bring up the start screen from Power Shell or Command Prompt? Is there a way to trigger a virtual keypress at start to trigger the start screen?
