Windows 10: endless scrolling 8s after sign-in

Recently my start menu turned into a blank white box and endless 8s began scrolling inside it, also in MSN sign-in box and all search boxes.

Eventually got to critical process died message, then to reset etc. screen. No options there worked. So reinstalled Windows 10 with media tool.

Then scrolling problem occurred today again at MSN sign-in box and and start menu did same thing. I was able to sign out, then back in and again rows of dots on sign-in box. Hit forgot password and was able to reset it, once again.

I guess this is sort of a preemptive question of whether anyone else has had these symptoms and how were handled. I thought reinstall should fix.

The sadface is a sign that the update/installation failed.



Try the hard reset steps.

I've got a lightning flash next to a gear as an icon.
I've pressed the button sequence but nothing has happened for a few minutes now.
