  1. Desktop repeatedly restarts every 2 seconds


    I just reset my laptop and reinstalled the OS win11 pro insider. After the introductory interchange, after logging on the desktop keeps restarting itself, i.e., blanks screen, redraws the background, paints the two icons recycle bin and ms edge, then the toolbar appears. A second later, it does this again. Ad infinitum! Nice!Any ideas what could be going wrong? Is it time to install Ubuntu?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 crashed and restarting repeatedly

    Hi,


    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community and for your interest on Windows 10.

    I understand your concern and inconvenience. We are glad to help you.


    • What is the make and model of the pc?

    • What are the troubleshooting steps you have already tried?

    I would suggest you to unplug all external devices connected to the pc and restart the pc to check if you are able to get to the desktop screen.


    Ensure to plug in the power cord to the socket and check if you are able to get to the desktop screen.

    After getting to the desktop screen, ensure to install any pending updates and also update all device drivers from Device Manager. Once this is done restart the computer to check the status.

    Hope the issue will be resolved. Do contact us for further queries. We will be happy to assist you.

    Thank you.

  3. repeatedly restarting

    Hi,

    Having damaged system files can be one of the possible reasons why your computer is restating unexpectedly and repeatedly. To help us provide better assistance, we would need you to answer the following questions.

    • Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your device?
    • What is the make and model of your device?
    • Have you made any changes to your computer before you experienced this issue?
    • Have you encountered any error messages when your laptop is repeatedly restarting?

    In the meantime, we suggest performing a clean boot to your device. This
    link
    provides further information about how clean boot works and how to perform a clean boot in Windows devices.

    We are looking forward to your response.

    Desktop repeatedly restarts every 2 seconds

    Networking issue between 2 desktop & laptop



    Hey bud, thanks for the suggestion (which I'm sure would have worked!)

    An ipconfig /flushdns
    Ipconfig /registerdns

    Worked and fixed it for me. Other problems with the second desktop prevail at random however. Close to just using homegroup >.>
