    Desktop Won't Start After WinX Update


    This is normally a very competent system that my wife uses for e-mail, etc. It's been running WinX for a couple of years. Occasionally, a Windows update will cause it to malfunction. It was running well yesterday morning, then a massive Windows update tried to install and it locked up. When I tried to restart, it would get to the Desktop and then go into some sort of endless loop that blocked access to any applications or Windows functions. I couldn't even get the Task Manager to come up! Waiting an hour or more didn't help.

    I got out a bootable WinX CD and booted from that. The only thing I was able to access was the Command Prompt, but I wanted some help before trying to use that in this situation. Last I programmed in DOS was more than a decade ago! Specifically, the following options each consumed time and then announced that the requested task could not be completed (reason not given):
    • Reset and Keep Files
    • System Restore
    • Startup Repair
    • Previous Build
    • Reset and Lose Files

    All data files are backed up as far as I know, and I had antivirus protection enabled from Webroot. If necessary, I'm willing to format the drive and start over. Better ideas would be welcome!

    System specs follow:

    CPU: Intel Core i7 CPU 930 @ 2.8 GHz

    Motherboard: ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel

    Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460

    N97 Bluetooth disappeared, won´t start again

    Today without any reason the Bluetooth disappeared, and it won´t start anymore from the connections menu. Any clue where to start looking. Software V20, and no new update available.

    Windows 10 won´t start any program as Administrator

    Hello. I´m having this issue since installed one of the latest Windows 10 system updates.

    When I try to open any program that requires Administrator confirmation (that screen with the Yes/No question), this dialog won´t appear anymore. The screen background stays darkened and nothing happens.

    1. Using Windows 10 Home (x64)
    2. My microsoft user account is properly checked
    3. I´m the administrator of the PC
    4. Already tried do create another administrator user account - same problem, no success
    5. Cannot start any program/service that requires administrator authorization (not even regedit)
    Please help!
