I have a Toshiba laptop running on a 64-bit operating system with 101 GB free space.I have tried numerous times to update my windows 7 to windows 10 with the same result of a 32% freeze up.I have tried completing all updates for my current windows 7 and turning off my antivirus program before attempting the upgrade but have had the same result no matter what I do.
View 1 RepliesAfter researching the forums this morning I have decided to post my issue;
I am consistently resetting the UAC (image below) and rebooting to allow Edge and Calculator to function as normal.
What must be done to keep this setting in its place permanently? Never had this issue with Windows 7 and never had to put the setting in this position either, it just worked. I'm sure I need some education on this for Windows 10.
I have tried to modify (through the registry)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystemEnableLUA
Both ways (bit off/on) and nothing works. Maybe I'm not in the right area for this?
So, earlier today (after having been gone for the last week on a trip) I installed a update for my Windows 10 computer. After the update (and it seemed like a doosy) the system worked fine for about 5-10 minutes and so I set about doing the usual disk cleanup. During this though Windows Defender turned itself off. Attempts to open the program either result in a window that just reads that the app is 'turned off' and isn't monitoring the computer.
Following the tabs on the 'action center' pull out seem to open up the Defender tab properly and allows me to turn it on...but then it turns itself off again after a couple of seconds.
I'm not currently running any other kind of virus scan/spyware protection software on the machine atm. Aside from just installing new anti-virus software.
I'm presently using (running) Avast Pro and Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit-Free, with weekly running of CCleaner, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and AdwCleaner. I do a lot of browsing and haven't had any problems with this approach. However, I got the hankering to also keep Windows Defender up-to-date and to occasionally run its scan just to see see if anything comes up.
So, I go to WD with the expectation that it is turned off and find that it may not be. I would go to update&security>windows defender and find, to my surprise, that real-time protection and cloud based protection are turned on, but grayed out. Furthermore, when scrolling to the bottom of the screen and clicking Open Windows Defender, I get the message that "WD is turned off and not monitoring the computer." I then went to Brink's WD tutorial (Windows Defender - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums)
I am running Windows 10 Professional 64 bit. Whenever I set the option "Turn off the display" to "Never", it reverts back to the default "15 minutes". This is under the "High Performance" profile. I have never, since Windows 3.11, ever had a setting change itself back. I have tried to change it and restart. It will either revert upon restart or shortly after. It will revert back even if I do not restart.
View 2 RepliesI have Windows 10 set to no sounds. I selected a timer app that was included, it works fine, and there's no sound when the time is up. How do I turn on sound for just one program?
View 1 RepliesThis is an upgrade install of Win 10 Pro x64.
When I start the system and after the desktop appears for a few minutes, I get an indication from the lower right portion of the screen that my anti-virus is off and I need to tap to turn it on.
Is this the normal way Win 10 handles Internet Security programs? I'm using ESET Smart Security 9.
I have attempted to download windows 10 around 4/5 times, the download completes and states that my computer needs to restart upon which it claims it is configuring the windows 10 upgrade. I would assume from this point it would restart into the windows 10 configuration however each time I have tried it it restarts back into windows 8 as if nothing had happened.
My laptop then opens up windows update and says I am able to download windows 10. This is really frustrating as I can't even seem to get into the windows 10 setup.
As you can see I am attempting to download again but there is no trace at all of it attempting to install windows other than this failed update that you can see here.
I am using an HP Pavillion 15-n268a laptop.
I upgraded one of my systems to 10 the other day and ever since it won't stay off, it just turns itself back on every time I shut it down. It was a clean install, not an upgrade. Never had this issue before the upgrade.
View 9 RepliesI am downloading an ISO File from the official Microsoft Website (Windows 10 Insider Builds). My PC is infected which could result in the ISO File being infected and injected by a infection.. How to scan this ISO File before I install the Build onto my PC. After I do that, I will use a Bootable Anti-Virus, Bootable Anti-Virus to me.
View 9 RepliesI don't get a BSOd, but this seemed like the most closely related forum section to post in. Dota 2 keeps crashing whenever I try to play a game. In general, my computer is also HORRIBLY slow when doing rather basic things, such as playing a Youtube video. My computer was running just fine yesterday, but now it's lagging horribly. Attached is the results of the dm_log_collector. Also, my system specs are filled in, but note that I have 2 graphics cards, not just 1.
What I know/have attempted:
1. I ran 3 free Anti-virus programs and only 1 found a file to quarantine, however even after it did so I'm still experience lag/crashing.
2. NVIDIA Geforce Experience crashed while trying to install a new driver. After I re-opened it, it said I had the latest drivers.
3. I have both an Intel card and an NVIDIA card, but when I run dxdiag it reads my card as the Intel one. However, I heard that you can sometimes have Windows select a certain graphics card when running certain programs. I might have it set to do this, however, I'm not sure.
I am running a 15.6" Dell Inspiron Laptop that originally came with Windows 8.1. I upgraded to Windows 10 around the first or second week of August. I had no problems for about 3 or 3 and a half weeks, up until about this past Tuesday (9/8/15). That day, I got the infamous memory management error blue screen, after which it reset and all was well...or so I thought. Within six hours, it randomly shut down and restarted itself while I was working on a paper in Word. Later that same day, it rebooted itself AGAIN!!! While it only did that twice, it continually closed out of apps that I was in the middle of using without giving me the opportunity to save whatever I was doing.
I read a couple of places that said people were able to get rid of all of these problems by simply downgrading back to their previous versions of windows, so I tried to go back to 8.1. I began the process of the downgrade, and left it. When I returned a few minutes later, it was trying to reboot in 8.1, but I instead was getting a blue screen saying that windows had encountered a problem and needed to restart...but when it restarted all i would get is another blue screen telling me to either reset again or select an advanced recovery option.
I recently screwed up my main HDD through EASEUS as the HDD cannot boot anymore (all files still work fine though)
So instead, I got a SSD and installed Windows 8. Throughout my use, I noticed that on boot, it often conflicts with the corrupted HDD which has Windows 10. Whenever I try to install windows 10, I get an error that my PC needs to be repaired. I assume this is from my corrupted Windows 10.
I checked the BIOS for boot order, but neither my SSD nor HDD is listed, and is instead listed as "Windows Boot Manager". So, how do I disable this corrupted HDD from attempting to boot up?
I attempted an install of Win10 when I first got the go-ahead several weeks ago, it went through the entire install (which took an eternity) and then decided it was incompatible as windows updater encountered errors, it reverted back to 7. Last week I tried again and the pre-install launcher came up with an obscure windows update error, which fixed after downloading and installing the auto-tool for windows updater, but then came up with yet another different error with winupdate.
I restarted, Rand the tool again, and although the window still showed a red X and the same second error , it allowed me to click "retry" which then just force launched the windows 10 migration. I figured might as well, didn't prompt me with any warnings about the potential error so anyways long story short after going ahead, it now freezes on the new logo immediately when it tries to boot the OS, after a couple turns of the progress wheel. Don't know where to go from here and it doesn't seem to be reading any peripherals. Have disconnected and reconnected power and had to force shut down nearly half a dozen times.
I am using SUPERantiSpyware [SUPERantiSpyware.com] version 6.0.128 database version 12149 updated Nov 1, 2015. This is free version and I have been using it for more than two years on Windows 7 too.
Now I have Windows 10. When I run Scan ticking enable Rescue Scan [Maximum Boost], Windows 10 Hangs up giving following error message:
System sending this error message - 100 % completed KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
I was installing windows 10 (8.1 before) on my Dell inspiron 15 7000 series (7537), and it progressed to restarting after the installing drivers step, but after the restart and going through the dell startup screen, everything went black. The HDD light is stuck on and not flickering like it normally does.
There is no cursor or anything on the screen, it's just black. I waited for an hour and nothing changed, so I thought maybe it was frozen, so I restarted the computer via hard reset, which took it to a "attempting to recover update" screen, but after a few seconds on that screen it went immediately back to the black screen.
Its been about 30 min since that hard restart and its still black, HDD light still on, and nothing seems to be happening.
I have a problem, I installed windows 10 and now I'm stuck in a boot loop after attempting a reset to wipe my files in hopes to make things a little faster, and now I'm unable to do anything other than enter the BIOS.
View 1 RepliesMy pc is unable to start-up after attempting to reset it(fresh reset). It is in a restart loop and when I try to turn it on the Windows 10 logo appears but then a blue screen appears saying "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info, and then we will restart for you." This then lets the PC restart and this restart process happens again. I have tried pressing F8 while it boots up to try to get it into safe mode but had no luck.
View 1 Repliesi have this problem since a long time ago , and i can't seem to figure out how to fix it!
i am sick of this file, the option of "Open file location" is grayed out for it !
i'm getting a KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE BSOD shortly after or by execution of the win10 version of handbrakeCLI (uses x264 encoder). In compability mode (win7) it seems to work.
I updated the drivers before the last bluescreen (from the Lenovo homepage) but that didn't do the trick.
Laptop was upgraded from Win8 to Win10 some while ago. Dumps point to dxgmms2.sys or ntoskrnl.exe. Don't think it's an application fault, is it?

The title says it all. When attempting to restart my Base filtering engine service I get an error 5 access denied.
A bit more information: it then says the following programs will be restarted:
Windows Defender Network Inspection Service
Windows Defender Network Inspection System Driver
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
IPsec Policy Agent
Windows Firewall
IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules
Once I click okay, the Error 5 message pops up
The print spooler chokes on both of my Windows 10 machines when trying to deal with certain pdf files. For instance when I tried to print [URL] ... via my browser (Chrome), it printed the first 6 pages, but the printer showed an error when it came to the seventh page. When I then tried to create another job just to print the seventh page, it just hung around in the print spool and nothing happened at the printer.
I tried this several times on two machines. It was also impossible either to cancel the job in the print queue manager or to stop the spooler in the services manager in order to manually clear the print queue, which meant that the only way I could clear the queue was to restart the machine. I got the same behaviour whether I was printing to my physical printer or to the MS pdf printer. I also got the same behaviour when I tried to print from a different browser (Edge). This is not the first time I have had a problem with an unprintable file like this in Windows 10.

View 7 RepliesMy pc has recently decided to start turning itself on in the middle of the night, while its supposed to be hibernating (I'm not sure yet if it is also affected during a normal shut-down). I also haven't managed to lock down the exact time (if there is one) that this happens.
From some digging I did, some people seemed to think that the task scheduler was doing things by itself. I identified two task that looked like they might fit the criteria (below) - are either of these likely to be causing the spontaneous turn-ons, and what's the safest way to resolve this?

I noticed we had updates automatically installed today. The next thing I noticed was that when working in Excel if I didn't move the mouse within one minute the display turned off. After trying a few other programs I realize that it turns off after a minute in almost all my programs or even when I'm just reading a newspaper. If this is something from the latest updates? I never experienced this before. In fact, it just turned off while I was mulling over this post.
