    First Attempt - Disaster - Log On Screen Flashes On & Off


    Well I just let my Win 8.1 upgrade to 10 Pro and it was a disaster. I could only get in Safe Mode as regular flashed on and off constantly and that was with pre-installed Win 10 drivers for graphics....so fortunately it has a reverse gear, so to speak (Advanced Recovery Options) and I returned to 8.1 in just a few minutes.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 start screen shuts down when user attempts to sign off.

    Windows 10 start screen shuts down when user attempts to sign off.

    Just to clear things up further. When I open the start menu in the bottom left hand corner and click on the current user at the top left, to log off, the screen flashes briefly, then the start screen closes. Does this continuously. Did not do this for the
    first day after Windows 10 was installed. Started on the second day.

    Can you elaborate on what you mean by customizations?

    Not an exhaustive list, but something to give us a feel for what exactly you mean.

    For me:

    I uninstalled Classic Shell on one, Start8 on another.
    Turned UAC back on.

    Note that both Win 8.1 systems I updated I did from a Local account, not a MS account.
