    Blue screen won’t allow me to access settings or start menu


    I’ve been unable to use my laptop for several days due to a blue screen. I’ve tried resetting my laptop using both options but neither option works. I don’t have access to the start button nor windows button and I’ve run out of options. I got into safe mode and tried resetting from there but that didn’t work either. Please help me!

    :)

    Blue screen won’t allow me to access settings or start menu

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
