    Dell Inspiron 2-1 laptop will not open any applications


    This is a 15 inch laptop made in 2016, now using Windows 10, Intel Core i5, 7th gen. It's not been used much. The battery is fully charged. Today, the computer would turn on and allow me to sign in, but none of the icons on the next or main screen will open, not even the Windows icon or the on/off/restart button. Only a few of the icons light up, like Edge and My Office. I've tried several power off and power on. I put a thumb drive with the Dell restore program in a USB slot. Turn the computer off and on. The computer knows it's there, but will not open the program to restore it to factory setting (not that I've done many changes). I did try the F9 key and it did show me some options, I think, for the screen. The service tag is HDGL3C2. Any ideas about what I should do to restore it to factory settings?

    :)

    Dell Inspiron 7537 Laptop & Creator's Upgrade


    My Dell Inspiron 15 7537 laptop hasn't been offered the update to the Creator's Update via Windows Update yet and it doesn't appear on Dell's upgrade list. Has anyone updated their Inspiron 7537 to the Creator's Update via the Media Creation Tool or ISO file and did you have any problems?
