Windows 10: Cannot get into Settings

Hi

I am trying to get into settings using the Run dialogue ms-settings:windowsupdate, or any other of the listed Run commands.

An error box come sup saying
'The application failed to start because it's side by side configuration
is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use command-line s
xstrace.exe for more detail'

What I am trying to do is work set up manual updates, once I have done that
I will disable automatic updates because it causes me problems when they
run in the background just when I am doing other intense tasks.

Please advise how I can fix this.

Cheers

Daniel

Cannot get into computer to change settings to wake windows 10 up

All the help I've read assumes I can get into the computer to change settings! I cannot even get that far. I press the power button and get nothing more than a noise telling something is on! A black screen and no further access.

I'm using HP Pavillion updated from windows 7. Worst thing ever.

Hi Katy,

For possible resolution, you may check the Troubleshoot black screen problems page.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Hi, have you tried searching the problem on Google first or did you come here? If you didn't I Google'd a possible solution and here it is -

Roughly 100 people up-voted that, I don't know much about your issue since I haven't experienced it but hopefully someone else could help you if the above doesn't!

 

Hi

Thanks for your reply, I already had 2010 installed but after your post I installed 2008, but nothing changed except that when I select "settings" nothing happens, I do get a window flash up for about 1/2 second.

AS I recall MS said my settings would not be changed, but my update settings have, also I have a "settings" icon on my start menu and an "all settings" icon in my notifications, but neither work.

Cheers

Daniel

Thanks firenate

that fixed it.

My main problem is that I am out most of the time and do not
have the time to research properly, so this forum does it for me

Also if the admin sees this, the forum is no sending me an email when replies are posted, even though
I have selected to do so.

Cheers
