    Had a weird thing happen. "Configuring security settings"


    Running Windows 10 Pro, latest version.

    I wasn't really doing anything unusual, just watching a boring Youtube video. The computer freezes up--like in the old days. Totally frozen. I haven't had a total freeze up since XP, like over 3 years ago. Neither the kb nor the mouse were responsive. I was getting a lot of disk thrashing, though.

    So, I tried Esc, Ctrl-Alt-Del, various Ctrl combinations, nothing was working. Then after maybe about a minute the blue screen with various options, including task manager, finally came up. Then I found I was eventually able to close the browser and a few other programs that were open.

    During all these "goin's on" a couple times I happened to catch a glimpse of a screen that looked like a Windows Update type screen. There was an image of a gear and a message that said, "Configuring security settings." I don't recall EVER seeing that before.

    I went into the Windows Update history, but there was no indication that any new updates had been installed.

    Has anyone ever seen that before? I wasn't doing anything that would have triggered a configuration of security settings, if there even is such a thing. Once I got everything closed I did a restart and haven't noticed any problems. It has me concerned, though, because there were no Windows updates installed and I can't imagine what would have caused that weird behavior.

    :)

  2. A question, or a trouble (thing.) " Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic! "

    Hello, I got a (Nokia! Of course.) 5800 Xpressmusic, and the " trouble " is..

    I downloaded apps and themes and some games, but they don't work.

    They're installed on my mobile, I know that. ( Atleast what Nokia PC Application Installer says. )

    But when i look at my mobile, its not there.. Emepty, and when I look " Programs. "

    Not a single thing, nor themes. **bleep**! Goon.

    And well.. Is it because some type of update? Or.. Yeah.

    I'd -love- to get some help, I'm a newbie.

    Hi, you might get more info from your event log if you look for events around that time.
    And you could try Bluescreenview (free) for a simple quick view of any BSODs
