Windows 10: Fail to create VirtualDisk

Hi,I have a new PC, and am trying to configure Storage Spaces with 2 Tiers. Here is the setup: Here are the Storage Spaces:These are the disk assignments: 2 Objects that I defined: $HDDTier =Get-StorageTier -FriendlyName "HDDTier"$SSDTier = Get-StorageTier -FriendlyName "SSDTier"The command I use to create the virtual disk: New-VirtualDisk -StoragePoolFriendlyName "Pool" -FriendlyName "TieredVolume" -StorageTiers $SSDTier, $HDDTier -StorageTierSizes 850GB, 29TB -ResiliencySettingName Mirror

Windows 10 Storage Spaces Mirrored VirtualDisk crashed after single HDD failure

I have suffered yet another fatal Storage Spaces crash after 1 of my 8 HDDs failed. I have a mirrored VirtualDisk which is 1TB and it become detached, lost communication with the failed PhysicalDisk HDD. I have 3 other mirrored VirtualDisks which are still
working fine. I cannot connect the unhealthy VirtualDisk and cannot repair the VirtualDisk. Windows 10 SS GUI will not automatically fix this issue, and Powershell commands have not worked. The only difference between the failed VirtualDisk and those that
are still running is that the failed VirtualDisk was evidently at almost 100% full, whereas the other VirtualDisks were about 60%. The PhysicalDisk that failed is Lost Communication. Evidently, SS tried to remove data off the HDD which started at about 60%
usage and was able to move data off to about 11% usage before the drive totally died.

I have added 2 additional HDDs so I now have 13 TB used out of 30 TB pool. I don't understand how a mirrored VirtualDisk in a pool of 8 HDDs can be taken offline and crash from a single HDD failure. In theory, should there not be a second, complete copy
of every file in the mirrored VirtualDisk?

If anyone has any idea of how to work around this failed HDD and get my VirtualDisk back online, at least long enough to move the files, I would be very thankful. Again, the failed PhysicalDisk is dead, not just unhealthy. The VirtualDisk is detached, unhealthy,
but I cannot get it back online.

 

create user fails windows 10

Geoff,

This is a shot in the dark.

Several people have been reporting different problems logging in to newly created user accounts.

• They just get a user profile service failed message instead of your symptoms.
• Whilst their symptom is different, it occurs to me that the cause might be the same.
• The common factor is that it affects newly-created user accounts that have never been successfully logged into.

So, I suggest having a look at my explanations in Cannot create a new user account that can be login.

In short -

1 Try copying the NTUSER.DAT file from the [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder of a computer that does not exhibit the problem.

2 Try copying the whole [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder group from a computer that does not exhibit the problem.

3 Try recreating the [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder group using Kapil Arya's linked article.

I have nothing other than a gut feeling to justify suggesting these steps,

Best of luck,

Denis

 

Windows 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.
