My computer froze and I restarted it. After I turned it off and started it back up again, it didn't boot into Windows. At first it was giving me a message about inserting the boot media. I reset it again and loaded windows 10 but it went into a "diagnosing your pc" loop where it would sit there for hours not doing anything. I checked in the case to make sure all of the hard drives were connected. But when I went to bios, it said nothing was in the sata slot that my ssd was plugged into. I restarted again and was met with the same problem. I read that I would have to reset the pc. So I started the process and it is on hanging at "resetting this pc 8%" and has been there for roughly 20 hours. I don't know what I should do as a next step.
So my Laptop ( I have an Inspirion 1564 Windows 10 ) has been having some issues, so I decided to give it a clean slate by having it factory reset. The only problem? It's been stuck at Resetting this PC 25% for the past 5 hours. I'm scared to force reset because I know it'll mess with the computer ...
I downloaded Windows 10 on July 29th, and decided to upgrade instead of doing a fresh install of Windows 10. However, I realized that many of my old programs from Windows 7 are not compatible, so today I decided to finally do a fresh install of Windows. The reset was stuck at 1% for about 20 minutes, and now it's been stuck at 2% for over an hour.

URL... and now its been stuck on a screen that says "Installing Windows" at the top with a percentage and circle in the middle and a note at the bottom that it's installing features and drivers. However, it has been doing this for two full days now. It comes back up at 64%, goes to 100%, restarts, then goes through the same thing. I have a Dell laptop and no error messages come up at any time.
I had updated my Windows 7 to Windows 10 first and then wanted to do a clean upgrade. I followed the instructions but my computer seemed to be stuck on 'Resetting this PC at 1%' my laptop must have died during this and now every time I try to start up my laptop it gets to the load screen and then goes to black and then tries to reboot again. I'm lost at the moment.
So, I wanted to reset my pc via windows 10 and everything was ok untill the resetting got stuck on 99% and I restarted my pc.
Now when i start my pc I cant press f8 and get into advanced boot options and when windows starts up It says INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. and then windows keeps restarting my pc for no reason.
I do not have a windows CD. I can only get into my ASROCK Bios
All my desktop icons are stuck on the left side of the desktopAll file explorer view are stuck in details view. Now yes, I have turned off Auto-arrange, still refreshes to all icons on left. I have tired ALL sorts combinations of view + sort by... nothing. I have tired many anti-malware/virus scans and nothing has come up. I have tired CCleaner pretty much everything and the problem persists.
Of note, I had done a system restore a week and half ago to a specific point and that fixed the problem but for just a day, then it happened again. When I got around to having time to go for another system restore, that restore point was gone and now no other restore point is fixing the issue -_-That left me to think it might be something I installed or perhaps a windows update... but after having uninstalled pretty much everything I could that I installed in the last week as well as removing recent updates.... nothing. I have also tried making a new windows account (local)... nothing. Also tried in safe mode, still nothing.
I had to do a pc reset on a different pc. Everything went ok and pc reset froze at 10 % for ages.So i turned off pc and restarted it hoping this should be ok. Pc restarted ok but a box appears stating windows installation encountered an unexpected error click ok and restart pc to continue installation.
I follow the step but all i see is at bottom of screen with Delete and F2 BIOS setup and same message appears.ie my pc gets into a loop. How do i get my pc working again..or is pc useless now ?
I upgraded my Windows 7 Home Basic to Windows 10 yesterday. It was successfully activated. I loved the UI and animation.But I could not sign into my Microsoft account, hence could not use Cortana or sign into store. I got "Something went wrong" error all the time. Multiple reboots did not solve the issue.I decided to reset my PC completely and proceeded without keeping anything though it warned me "This might take several hours". My PC got stuck at 99% for like 4-6 hours. I kept it at that stage the whole night.
When I woke up this morning and saw, my PC had a blue screen error saying "We will restart your PC INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE". This error is existing after multiple reboots also.
The two options I can think off:
1. Rebuild my Windows 7 all over again and upgrade to Windows 10 (I am afraid it may not solve the problem). 2. Do a clean install of Windows 10.
I don't want to do the first. Is there anyway I can claim the same license that I already have for Windows 7 in second scenario? I don't mind losing the existing Windows 7 license if I get one for Windows 10.
Is it possible to reset the win 10 start menu to the day I installed win 10? I'm having all kind of little issues with it now that I didn't before and I'd like to reset.
I know there was a method to do this in the preview builds but that doesn't seem to work anymore.
Alright so i've had this laptop for a few years and have had adjustments to it. I bought it windows 8 and have constantly been updating it - to 8.1 and 10. I feel like I need to just reset it to factory settings. I am wondering if it would reset to windows 10 or back to 8. If it goes back to 8 is it possible for me to get the free upgrade again.
Secondly - Is there a way to partition my harddrive so that i can keep some important files on it that i need to transfer after the factory reset without anything on the partition being cleared.
I have been learning windows 10 and have messed up my entire desktop Trying to find out how to default it back to when I originally opened up windows 10
I just got an SSD for my Windows 10 PC and wanted to do a full reset of my computer. I tried using the Windows 10 "Reset this PC" feature hoping that it would install on my SSD, but it installed on my old hard drive. Is there a way I could do the reset again and have it install on my SSD or do I have to move my Windows over a different way?
I'd like my system sounds slider to stay at 10% of the overall volume. All other volume settings seem to stick. Windows rememebers my overall / winamp / browser etc. volume just fine. Only the system sounds revert to EAR-SPLITTINGLY LOUD at seemingly random times. Sometimes after a restart (but not every time), sometimes in the middle of a Windows session. Is this a known Win10 bug?
After I did a factory reset of my Windows 10. I noticed that my mouse sometimes lags and stutters. Also when i play a first person shooter then when the lag occurs then I see my mouse pointer in the middle and its really annoying. I tried to get latest NVidia drivers but still no change. When I was in Windows 8.1 then everything was fine.
So, just installed Windows 10 and things seem to be doing pretty good but the computer is in bad need of a reset still. Following the recommendation of Microsoft, I've gone ahead and installed Windows 10 and am now ready to proceed. I pull up the boot menu, select reset and to remove all files and the computer boots up as normal. Then, it comes up with a screen asking if I just want to clean out my main driver or all drives. The problem is there is no mouse, I can't select it. I've hit all the keys on the keyboard I could think of (F keys, number keys, arrow keys and enter) to no avail. And thus, I had to abort and come back here. Why my mouse is not working then? It's working now so it doesn't seem to be an issue with it.
I've been running Windows 10 since it was released and nothing really has come up as a problem until last night, I was playing a game on the pc and I got some red dots everywhere, I figured nvidia crashed and thought nothing of it until my entire pc reset now I see a series of white dots on bios loadup and windows loads and just before it gets to the login, my computer resets. When it tries to get into repair mode I don't have any keyboard or mouse input, this is a build I made so I don't have any fancy oem recovery options ( and I was too dumb to make a backup disk).
My build has an nvidia gtx590 , and phenom II black edition, Asus mobo. I haven't d.l or installed any new hardware or software recently.
I disabled prefetch on my pc because it was giving me 100%disk whenever i did anything.....but when i went to reset the pc(the instructions told me to) the pc began to do a disk scan and repair when it was booting...it didnt do anything so i trid to do a reset/system restore cant do either of them ahd now the system is on a reboot loop....so..would buying a new hard drive anr a new copy of windows fix this issue?
Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 I get this issue where my computer forgets/resets the Input Language Hotkey for English. I used to set it as Ctrl + Shift + 1. But whenever I restart the computer, the hotkey goes back to blank/empty/nothing. I have manually set it in advanced settings several times already and it simply doesn't save it. Never had this problem in all the previous Windows I used (XP, 7, 8 etc).
After having multiple, miscellaneous, seemingly-disconnected issues with file and folder permissions, locked files, inability to save or edit in my user files, open Outlook, play games, etc, I accidentally stumbled across some oddities in my file shares in computer management related to OneDrive. I posted a more thorough description and permanent work-around here: Windows 10 OneDrive Default Settings Causing Major Issues With - Microsoft Community
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit (Upgraded from 7 Pro) CPU: Intel i7-3820 CPU @3.60GHz, 32GB DRAM MB: ASUS P9 X79 Pro L2011 socket HD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB PSU: 1200W Cooler Master Gold with X6 Fan in HAF X case GC: AMD Radeon HD 6870 Graphics LG DM2352D IPS TV HDMI Monitor Bose Companion 5 External Speakers Use: Mainly Office 2010, movies, photos and some CAD (no games or over-clocking!)
This is my hi-spec tower I had built for me in 2013 and I've had no end of trouble with it: Blue tooth not working, some USB2 and 3 sockets disconnecting and re-connecting erratically every few seconds, same with the HDMI monitor that does not integrate well with Windows, boot interrupts by Asus' POST saying the CPU Fan is not working which it is, WD My Book external drives seen in W7 but not in W10 and now, Adobe Acrobat DC Pro crashing after about 10 seconds of use.
Most of these issues still remain to the same or lesser degree: ASUS' after sales service and 3 year warranty is useless but Adobe went through the full test procedures and concluded that I needed a "clean" re-install of Windows 10. I am almost paranoid about keeping everything up to date, especially drivers and I am suspicious of generic drivers unless the hardware manufacturer says its OK like with the DVD optical drive for example.
From Windows 7 Update, the 10 Upgrade was seamless some months ago. But after clicking reset (keep my files option in Settings), and the process ran to the Welcome date page of rocks on the beach in shadow, Windows 10 will not proceed to the login page. Usually I just hit the spacebar but nothing. I have tried re-booting and re-setting but the same. Sometimes the MS plugged-in keyboard is active sometimes not. The MS plugged-in mouse is never active. Sometimes also the WiFi is connected but sometimes not. I have also tried ctrl-alt-del when the keyboard is working but also nothing. No I don't have a boot-up disc - I never needed one all through MS-DOS, 95, XP and W7!
There's nothing wrong with Adobe Acrobat DC Pro: I downloaded the allowable 2nd installation to my new DELL Inspiron 17 laptop on W10 Home and it runs like a train. But on my hi-spec desktop, it crashes after about 10 seconds and Adobe have thoroughly tested it all.
