    I'm trying to set up a pin on my machine but when I click the button to Set Up Pin, a window just briefly flashes open and then closed. Any ideas how to fix this problem or work around it?I've already tried SFC /Scannow.

    settings flashs and than closes

    Just bought this laptop. Tried to open settings and it flash's on the screen than closes. Tried looking for links and answers. Everyone says they have the answer but no links that are worth a damn. So far Windows 10 has been a failure for me. Any suggestions?

    GPU-Z 0.8.1 closes immediately after opening

    I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 and I was using version 0.8.0 of GPU-Z(which was working fine) until it prompted me to update to 0.8.1 and grabbed the update but ever since I opened it, it immediately closes and now even the older version of GPU-Z closes immediately.

    Win-10 Edge closes immediately after opening


    My upgrade from Win-7 to Win-10 seemed to go faultlessly, everything including Edge worked correctly. After a couple of hours though, Edge no longer will open properly, The basic blue screen w/logo comes up for 5 seconds or so and immediately closes. Shortly thereafter the Start button also stopped opening, although by right-clicking I could get the basic function list so could still stumble along.
    The Start button problem was fixed by going back to my first Restore point (created by an automatic upgrade), but the Edge problem persists in spite of trying various fixes from posts dating back to the beta-test period. Obviously this is a problem that has existed from the early beta issues ... and it ain't fixed yet!! Any suggestions appreciated, because I note that Win-10 depends heavily on Web access via Edge.
