Windows 10: Black Screen After Locking, Also With Random Explorer.exe Crashes

I think I am, but from studying the issue it might be the many changes I made to the registry (none would cause crashes, they're just simple keys like for creating crashdumps), that might be causing the whole mismatch between versions or "unsupported directory" <- this one I just cannot understand how it even makes any sense. Windows is installed in C:\Windows and the error makes it sound like people just randomly change the directory, as if they have a choice.

I don't think I have any other option except to do a fresh install, unless some of you gents are able to figure out something. But it looks bleak.

EDIT: I downloaded whatever latest ISO I could find on the internet (unofficial) and for some bizarre reason that is allowing me to keep my files.

 

When performing the in place upgrade repair you will perform the following steps:
1) Insert the bootable windows 10 iso into any USB port
2) Open file explorer and identify the windows 10 iso drive
3) click on the drive to find setup or setup.exe and launch it
4) do not click install.
5) look in the left lower corner and click on repair your computer
6) follow the text and images in this link:

Please run this log collector now and post a zip into the thread:
log collector v2-beta06.zip

 

Whoops, in the hour between my post and your reply I had already launched it (via mounted ISO, nothing physical) and did the repair installation (via "upgrade" option in setup.exe).

The attachment is giving an invalid attachment message from tenforums.

Spotlight still ain't working

In the Panther\setupact.log file there's a bunch of stuff like this:

2018-01-19 10:23:16, Info MIG Object C:\Windows\SysWOW64\en-GB\explorer.exe.mui is excluded from migration because it is a system object.
2018-01-19 10:23:16, Info MIG Object C:\Windows\SysWOW64\en-GB\explorerframe.dll.mui is excluded from migration because it is a system object.

... which hints to me that nothing was repaired in whatever was wrong in the explorer module and its dependencies.

 

Run this version of the log collector and post a zip into the the thread:
log collector v2-beta08.zip

 

Please instruct where to extract the files, how to run since there's no exe for a straightforward execution.

 

See this webpage: BSOD - Posting Instructions - Windows 10 Forums
It should run automatically with your approval.
A folder should appear on the desktop.
Zip it and post it into the thread.

Open both versions. The beta version is preferred.

 

How do I upload it securely? The logs have a very detailed and personal report so I would like only those concerned to download it (e.g. you).

 

Visit the webpages for the BSOD forum. Every thread has multiple copies. There should not be any personal information. It should have: msinfo32, dxdiag, drivers, hosts, uninstall, install, license, partitions, cpu, gpu, mini dumps, event viewer logs, etc.

 

The files have account names, the logs like host, startup etc are all pretty useful for those who know how to use them.

Anyway, I've attached it. I'll remove once you've downloaded (if I can).

 

The beta has more useful information. Were you able to run the beta?

 

I would love to but how do I run it? As I mentioned in the earlier post, there's no exe in it. Only a folder called resources and a .lnk file.

 

Were you able to click on the log-collector.lnk? Did it not open a box and run?

 

OK got it, had to run it as admin as well.

As I mentioned before, I had to use whatever ISO I could find because none of my originals are working currently.
