    Booted into Windows 10 Home edition safe mode, upon which the login screen reads, "Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to setup your pin again." When I click to setup my pin, nothing happens for awhile, and then it asks if I want to search for an App. Regardless of what I select at this point nothing more occurs.The recovery tools are useless as they invariably ask for my password which gets rejected every time. I've tried every coceivable password for my microsoft account.My computer is currently useless. Please help.

    :)

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    Can´t boot, or enter safe mode, need urgent help

    Hello community

    I´m facing a problem that i can´t solve. I have windows vista, upgraded to windows 10....

    I had "Avira" installed on my Acer, but the constant publicity made me uninstall it with revo uninstaller, in the end, when i reboot, i couldn´t enter in my BIOS, safe mode, or windows.

    After reading numerous forums, i can´t seem to find a solution, the only thing i could fix was entering in the BIOS again, by removing the "BIOS battery" and plug it in again. After this, windows shows up again the load screen, he also shows the log in screen,
    but after the login screen i only get a Black Screen where i can only see the mouse pointer.

    I also notice that if i press Ctrl+Alt+Del, i can get into task manager, i can also bring up command prompt running it through the task manager, but my desktop is completely dark/gone......

    I also try to run explorer.exe from the task manager but nothing happens, i checked if any other instance of explorer was runnig but no luck, there isn´t any......

    I also did a command in my cmd, "taskkill /f /im explorer.exe" that i read in a forum to reset explorer.exe, but in the end it only shows up an Error saying he can´t connect to the server.......

    I also tried Hiren´s boot cd, but with so many options i don´t know what to choose, i only did a check disk (no errors found), a memory test (no errors found), i also run malwarebytes, it found 2 malware files in system32, but after i reboot to clean them,
    i remove the usb that has Hirene boot cd, and nothing happen, i´m not sure if they were removed.....

    I thank you for the possible answers to my case.

    Thank you
