i got a brand new computer recently that came with windows 10. i had to reinstall it a few times because of issues i thought were related to the installation (plus the first attempt asked me for a key which i didn't have, the second one didn't). i didn't activate right away. i got two BSOD in 24 hours and thought it was my computer but found out online that it's windows 10's fault so i went to update windows. the update i got took so long it almost looked like a whole new installation though it said updating. when i came home i went to activate and got this message windows is not activated as your previous version of windows on this device was not activated prior to upgrade to windows 10 error code 0x803f7001.
i am nearly 100% positive that error wasn't there before the update. how the hell can i have a previous installation when this is an windows 10 oem computer?
After recent update the Edge box is missing when starting windows10. I can still access Edge from frequently used line but I have this hole in the blue boxes that appear.
Error shown is Video_TDR_Failure (NVLDDMKM.SYS). I got that BSOD only one time, every other time the VGA just started stuttering gradually, eventually coming into a halt and then a forced reboot.
I'm pretty sure this was caused by one of the update that Microsoft forces me to install because these kind of problems have never happened before, which you can see here [URL] ...
IMO I think it's because of KB3141032. I could be wrong though
And here's the minidump file: [URL] ...
A clean install of the newest driver doesn't work either.
Right now I've just uninstalled the newest Nvidia driver that I installed in a panic and reversed back to 355.98 (cleaned with DDU) but the damned problem still persists.
I am running Windows 10 on a desktop PC. I downloaded the free update many weeks ago and it's been running very smoothly until recently. Yesterday, Windows 10 downloaded and installed a new update, after which my PC began running much slower on start-up, and my speakers no longer worked. I went into the device manager and updated all the drivers, and did the troubleshooting techniques that pretty much every page on the 'net recommends for Windows 10 sound problems, but nothing fixed the problem.
So I had a pretty big update for my Windows recently and since then whenever I restarted my pc it take like 10 on the restart screen and then the screen goes black so I just turn it off from the button because I'm impatient. And same thing happens when I shut it down, the screen goes off but the pc keeps running for lik it seems forever.
Since a recent Windows 10 update was automatically installed last week I can't open any exe files.I get the following error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00000e5). Click OK to close the application."
I have a Windows 10 Home machine that recently went through a windows update and restarted. It now boots past the BIOS and goes through "Windows Updating" to "Windows Diagnosing/Repairing" boot loop. My computer uses an SSD so it is (I believe) impossible to get it to boot into safe mode. Is there a way to boot into safe mode or rollback the update somehow?
So I recently gave my laptop an update today. It was fine before but...now it boots to a black screen with just a mouse pointer visible. What should i do?
InWhen the new Twitter app for Windows 10 was installed several weeks back I installed it on FOUR computers ( I was previously running the old Twitter app). I installed the new update today as well.
It has never worked for me on any of these four computers. The splash screen opens and then the app shuts down. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing works.
Experiencing duplicated notifications with certain apps, such as Twitter? I'll get the original popup above the taskbar clock, followed a few seconds later by the same notification. And both are listed in the Action Centre. But in the new Twitter app itself, only the original appears.
I've tried disabling then re-enabling notifications, also uninstalling then reinstalling the app, but the issue remains. Can't find it being reported anywhere.
I am having an issue with updating Windows 10 (Pro). Every time I run Windows Update it appears to successfully download and pre-install the update (I believe it's the main upgrade from November?), but when I restart it gets to roughly 20% each time (roughly 86% files copied) in the pre-login install process and then freezes. I have had this happen a few times. I even reset my PC to a fresh install of Windows 10, as well as ensured that all non-essential peripherals are unplugged, but it has crashed a few times.
Ever since the 1511 update last week, my SP3 display adapter crashes all the time. For example, if I'm using Windows Live Movie Maker, it will crash after only a few seconds of playback, then I have to close the app and reopen it, so I can get another 30 seconds of work done if I am lucky. If I'm using Blender or Repetier Host, it does better - lasts minutes instead of seconds, and doesn't always crash in those apps, but it does occasionally.
When I try to print to my 3D printer, it crashes sometimes, wasting plastic. I can get around that by doing the print from SD, but sometimes when it is something small, it's just easier to print from the host. Having increased problems (I used to get it occasionally, but not often) since updating to Win10 version 1511 last week?
I'm used to drag & drop pictures when I have to insert them inline in a mail, or in a FB post or in Twitter. With Windows 10 I cannot! AS you can see here, my dragged picture cannot be dropped down in Gmail.
It's really difficult having to push through folders to get the photo instead of drag there in a second.
I have added Facebook, Twitter and eBay from App store and expected them to start showing up in Action Centre.
I have been searching to see why i would be having this issue but struggling to find anything. As all the tutorials for enabling i believe i have done!
The apps do not even show up in the list to enable see here .
On a 2nd note, what 6ef43.rbf app is? I cannot find it on my system.
Upgraded to Win 10 a couple of months ago on Toshiba laptop. All was well until about 3 weeks or so ago, after an OS update. Windows will still startup to the desktop however a couple of seconds after the desktop screen appears, the default browser (Firefox in this case but did not matter which one is checked as default - have Edge, Chrome and FireFox) opens to an MSN homepage. Not really a HUGE problem as I can click and close it out but it is just an annoying issue. Have been virtually everywhere in the system and cannot find anything that will stop this. Have checked plugins, searched for malware, looked at task and startup manager and can find nothing that will stop.
I upgraded my Alienware M17 to Windows 10 with no problems (knock on wood), but my girlfriends HP Envy Notebook is having some issues. Right after Windows 10 installed the first time it was fine for a few hours and then it ran an automatic update... After restarting the PC it took, literally, 10 minutes to get to the lock-out screen to sign in. After signing in everything seems to work fine. When I click restart it logs out quickly, shuts down just fine, but after the HP bios loads it goes to the blank Windows 10 screen (with the little loading dots circling) and sits there for 10 minutes before finally changing over to the sign in screen.
When I just "sign out" without restarting it also takes an equally ridiculous amount of time (8-10 minutes).At first I thought maybe I had done something bad with the registry cleaner... lol, so I did a full reset and reinstalled the OS, downloaded and installed all new drivers and everything was just fine (again) until it did an automatic upgrade... then its back to being nearly unusable.
Now, I have heard rumors that Windows 10 startup is ridiculously slow. How SLOW is slow? Like 8-10 minutes? Yes, I have enable fast startup (and hibernation) and it does nothing (yes, I know it does not work with "restart" and only "shut down").I wonder if the problem is when Windows 10 upgrades to version 1511 because it is fine before it does any auto updating. But if it keeps updating there is no point in trying to pinpoint which update it causing this.
i remember when i first installed windows 10 when i clicked on the start button and the i think its called the desktop appears on the left is where you can click to start an app.
At the top i see most used apps and that's all, but if i remember right there used to be a section for newly added and recent used apps.
In Windows explorer with W10 when i first had the RTM version Recent files were there, but as that os had been from Win 8.1 upgraded to 10 preview and then 10 RTM it was bloated. So i reinstalled a fresh copy of W10.
But now no recent files show up. I found how to go to view, folder options, but these settings were already ticked by default.
if i click file explorer right under frequent folders there is a recent files list this is a privacy issue is there a way that it wont show a list of recent files.
I'm using windows 10. Yesterday i tried to get recent files but unfortunately "Recent" command is not working in "Run". How to get the recent files in PC.
