    I was having issues updating an app so I followed these instructions but I skipped the "hide all" stepPress Windows Key+R.Type msconfig and press Enter.Select Selective startup and uncheck Load startup items.Select the Services tab.Check Hide all Microsoft services.Note: Skipping this step may prevent your computer from rebooting correctly.Click Disable all.Click Apply then click OK.Click Restart.When I restarted my PC it said "something happened and your pin isn't available". And now I’m unable to even access the troubleshoot menu and I’m so stuck

    Automatic Repair Loop, Your PC did not start correctly

    I have tried that countless times, I get: Startup Repair couldn't repair your PC message.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yes, there is one. It shows up when I type list partition, however, it does not show up in the list volume list.

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
