    After my last windows update I now have a halo around my monitor that won't allow me to see clearly the task bar or the other features around my desktop screen display. What should I do?

    Halo 5: Forge app crashing on splash screen

    I've had this problem too. The solution for me was to navigate to "Settings" -> "Apps & features" click on "Halo 5: Forge" in the list and select "Advanced options". From there I just hit "Reset" and it would launch fine without it crashing at the Halo
    splash screen.

    Thing to note is that I also uninstalled the Halo app. I'm not sure whether this had an effect on it working or not.
     
  3. windows update stuck at installation screen and cannot get to desktop

    Hi Sue,

    To understand the issue better, I would like to ask some questions:

    • Is the computer stuck in the Installing updates screen?
    • For how long is the computer stuck in the screen?
    • When was the computer last updated?
    • Is the screen showing any percentage of installation?

    Sometimes the installation might take a long time to install if the update is of large size. So, I suggest you to wait for sometime and check if the system boots to the desktop. If it is taking a longer time, then perform a Power Drain by following the steps
    provided below:

    • Shut down the Computer.
    • Remove all power source (including battery if it is a laptop).
    • Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds.
    • Connect the power source and start the computer.
    • After the computer boots to the desktop, suggest you to install all the pending updates.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

    Thank you.
