Windows 10: After BSOD Correction, desktop out of whack

All,

It all started out with getting the BSOD for 'Boot Config. File Missing", "Missing or Corrupted Boot Files", and "Registry File Missing or Contains Errors." The first 2 were corrected with no issues. After receiving the "Registry File Missing..." error, I did the following: diskpart, created backups of the Software, System, Sam, Security, Default folders. In order for me to do all of this I had to boot from a USB recovery drive. After I completed all of this I was able to access my desktop, but a number of things changed.

1. My display is black (I can't make changes to it).
2. Usually when I add a new folder in File Explorer, I right click and scroll down to New - Folder. Now, when I scroll down to New - there's no subcategory. It's empty.
3. The text font is different
4. I can't access the start menu. When I click on the windows icon (bottom left of screen), nothing happens.
5. My taskbar used to have several program shortcuts, but now.....none.
6. I can't do a sfc / scannow When I try, the scan starts but ends quickly
7. I can't save settings. For example, when I open chrome I'm asked if I want this to be my default browser. I click yes. Still....i'm asked this every time I open Chrome.

Pretty much the only thing that stayed the same were my desktop shortcuts to my applications.

Any suggestions??? I have Windows 10, my display driver is NIVIDIA

Thanks,
Craig

Meeting times out of whack after traveling to another time zone

Thought I'd jump in here as I have just joined the forum to find the answer to a similar problem.

My handheld calendar entried are all an hour early in comparison to my desktop. Not sure if this is because of problems with my clock settings.

Local DST has just changed it start date and although Vista has dealt with this OK, my iPAQ runnning Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Ed. keeps changing back to the old time every time I sync with the desktop.

Am using Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) for Vista and am trying to find out if I can stop the clocks syncing. My old ActiveSync programme had a "tick" box allowing the option to synchronise (or not) the device clock with the desktop. Is there anything
like this available on WMDC?

THANKS

Fuzzy

Did you run the DST update on your Pocket PC?

Have you viewed the windows advanced troubleshooting menu and tried the various recovery options?
Either the recovery options on the USB or the recovery options on the computer now that you are back on the desktop?
Startup repair, reset with save files, restore, system image recovery, command prompt, UEFI firmware settings, go back to previous version, in place upgrade etc.?

 

I would suggest that you now do an in place upgrade repair. Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
