Windows 10: Is anyone having trouble with Windows 10 still?

I am still having issues with Windows 10 on my Desktop PC. It is an Acer Aspire XC603G Desktop. It came with Windows 8.1 pre-installed. Ever since I updated to the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, I have had nothing but trouble. If someone could please chime in and help me out, that would be greatly appreciated. The main problems are that it keeps freezing up. Yesterday, it got stuck on the Lock Screen for 30 minutes after I had an important antivirus update that required a restart. I finally had to manually shut it down to get it to come back up and respond. I am sick of the random freezes. Please help!

Is anyone having trouble with their keyboards today?

My keyboard would hardly work yesterday. I bought a new keyboard and did a restart on my Dell Inspiron 660. I noticed that when my PC restarted that updates were being installed.

With the updates installed my old keyboard worked perfectly. However, tried to use Microsoft Office and dialog boxes kept popping up blocking my mouse??

Actually, I had an update waiting for me to download and when I installed the download it solved the problem. I have had this problem before at least twice, but didn't remember it when I posed the question for the community.

 

It sounds like a random, hard to troubleshoot issue. However, given that this is an update on top of a previous install, it is likely due to old drivers or lingering junk from the previous OS. Anytime a computer is upgraded and then experiences issues like this, a clean install is your best bet.

 

How do you do a clean re-install please? Do you uninstall the old version or what?

I am novice.

 

Well, Norton is not exactly the lightest AV. Anyway, try to perform a cleanup. Download WC.bat and run it as admin.

 

Check your Reliability History and look through each event which is red-flagged.Right click on "view tech details",not "check for a solution".If there was one then there would not be a problem.This will give you the cause of the freeze and almost always is a driver e.g.nvlddmkm.system.There is no one fix all solution,it is a matter of patiently trying different drivers.
Best of luck.

 

Thank you.

 

Hi, I tried to find your laptop on the list of those approved by Toshiba for upgrade to '10, but couldn't. You may wish to check that.

What is your build version and last update (see Update History)?
Windows key + R, type 'winver'

Note that the anniversary upgrade (1607) caused freezing problems for quite a few, enough to make the press, and this was addressed in a subsequent update a couple of months later.

I would agree with DeaconFrost the update version gave me too many problems
Not saying its it's without any but more stable less freezing up
Go to Microsoft & Download full version an just install *Biggrin

 

Update: I did a Clean Install, and that seemed to resolve the issue. If the freezing appears again, I will let y'all know.

 

Hi,
P
l;ease send me the link for a clean install.

Thanks.

Both from the Tutorial section - feel free to browse and search it.

- you will need to delete existing Win 10 partitions, making sure you have enough room on your system disk so Windows doesn't put partitions on another disk. (A clean EFI install creates Windows partition + 100Mb EFI partition + 16Mb System + 450Mb Recovery) + leave 500 Mb spare.

Feel free to search the web for further instructions.
