Windows 10: Clean install of Windows Pro 1909 and now in selective startup mode :

Hi


I did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro 1909 x64 on my brand new computer. All was fine all day and check constantly and before I turned off the system for the day, I went to msconfig. I see that now after 9 hrs of install of all my programs and drivers, the computer is now in selective start up with load system services and load startup items are checked.


I did not go in to safe mode the entire day and all I did was install the programs and drivers. I have tried running with the command cmd as a admin and then Msconfig. I tried to change it to normal but it keeps on going back to selective startup no matter what I do. All is checked in services and nothing is unchecked I did not actually change anything using the autoruns and briefly ran it to make sure it works . I did nothing in safe mode nor anything else that may have triggered this to now be in Selective start up. I did use the task manager ctrl, alt, and delete and went to the start up tab and disabled things from start up only and not autoruns.





This has been making me crazy that after 9 hrs of hard work my machine is in selective startup now and I am tired of this issue now being on brand new install of windows 10. YFI - I did nothing that I am aware to trigger this to go to selective start up



Any ideas of how to revert this back to Normal - fix or solution would be helpful??


Thanks

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

Hello guys,

I'm planning to get a new graphics card and lets just go ahead and do a clean install aswell. Now I have bought a windows PRO key online and my running OS is windows PRO. Now I want to set up my usb to make a clean install. I wanted to use the windows tool to download the PRO version but its not in the drop down box. I have tried selecting different languages but I still couldn't find it. Now my question is, can I use my pro key on a normal windows 10? If so, my problem is solved. If not, how can I download the pro version from the tool?

UPDATE::

Apperently when the install is happening, windows will select the right version depending on the product key version. So PROBLEM SOLVED *Smile

 

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.
