  1. All Windows functions stopped working completely


    All Windows functions stopped working completely. Start button/menu, search bar, all Windows file icons, recycling bin etc are all not opening error when trying to open file icon says "no such interface supported". Unable to try any of the suggestions I've found on the internet because they all seem to require use of the search menu or opening a Windows window / file / start button, all of which are not working or resonding at all. I think I am on Windows 10 but unable to verify for the same reason no Windows related functions are opening at all.

    :)

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond All Windows functions stopped working completely :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    Sennheiser GSP 350. Microphone stops working when I open any game

    Wow, ok. I think I've fixed it by accident while fiddling around.

    It appears to be the Realtek audio being the issue here. I don't use my onboard sound card as my headset is a USB headset only and my speakers are plugged into an ASUS sound card.

    Step by step fix:
    • I went into recording devices
    • I enabled STEREO MIX (Realtek High Definition Audio)
    • Then I set that Stereo Mix as the DEFAULT DEVICE (At this point it took over both input and output devices without my permission )
    • Then set my Sennheiser headset as default recording and playback devices in their respective windows even though they both still said they were the default devices when they weren't
    Headset microphone is currently functioning while in game now. I'll update the thread if it goes again. Should I completely disable Realtek audio??? Or will windows just force it to work again?

    All Windows functions stopped working completely

    After downloading windows 10 Runescape game stopped working and also stopped my internet completely after about 20 minutes

    Hi,

    I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps.



    Method 1: Run Internet Connection Troubleshooter.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with Internet connection. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your internet.

    Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key +X, select
      Control panel.

    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting
      and click on the view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Internet Connection troubleshooter.
    As you mentioned that after downloading Windows 10 Run escape stopped working completely, I suggest you to install the game in compatibility mode and check if it helps.

    Method 2: Follow the steps below on how to install the Game in compatibility mode:

    1. Download the Game from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

    2. Right click on the setup file of the driver and select “Properties”.

    3. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

    4. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.

    5. Let the Game install and then check the functionality.

    Keep us posed on this issue so that we can assist you better.
