  2. "Stopcode -- WHEA uncorrectabel Error"

    I no longer have this problem. However, when I do the update it renders my graphics card useless so now I boot from my floppy drive and don't update at all.

  3. 1709 Bluescreens & video problems

    I was just letting the process work itself out as reinstall/recovery didn't help and eventually it would let me sign in. A few days ago while I was typing away, my screen had a mind of its' own and just went extra wide screen and removed my dual screen
    ability. Now my videos don't play in FB and can't get out of this widescreen. I've again tried Recovery to no avail. There have been several updates since the blue screen error. I went out and looked at my devices and now it must has Basic Display Driver instead
    of the Dell driver that was there before. It no longer recognizes it. I have done recovery and it worked for a few minutes but again reverts back to this Basic Driver. How can it do this? I also no longer have a Sleep function on my shutdown menu, just Restart
    or Shut Down. I have done Reset already and had to reinstall several of my apps. This continues to get worse. Everything else is working fine. I have no other screen issues.

    Cortana

    Hi Cortana is easily 'broken' e.g. by changing various of the settings (Win 10 Settings). Certain services are also important.

    First, have you worked through this?
    Cortana - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    Second, OO shutup (freeware) includes a 'reset' feature for settings.

    Third, can you post a screenshot? I'm guessing you mean Win S opens Cortana, but you have just 3, not 5 icons down the LHS as you say the notebook is missing.

    Assuming you get a Cortana window, but not functional, is any particular message displayed?

    And finally, please confirm you can open the start menu.

    This is a commonly reported problem (just try searching for "cortana disabled by company policy"). I encountered this after fiddling with Settings, and couldn't find a solution. Perhaps there is one...

    I keep periodic disk images (I use Aomei Backupper) - Macrium Reflect Free is recommended - there are others.

    I restored a recent disk image- I keep a log of changes I make- and redid the significant changes. I've avoided fiddling with settings since. If you don't use disk imaging, you really really should.

    Note too that System Restore is disabled by default in Win 10, so unless you've enabled this, that option isn't available.
