Windows 10: Issues after reinstalling Wndows 10

Hi all,

I've got a Dell XPS 15 9560 and I just did a factory reset on it and reinstalled the windows from scratch. It's the family edition and is up-to-date.

However, soon after Windows was ready to be used again I noticed some issues.. I can't open the search bar and clicking on it doesn't do anything (tapping the mouse pad with three fingers also doesn't do anything besides having the loading symbol on the mouse for 2 seconds), same goes for Cortana which actually keeps disappearing after I set it up and I can't search anything when I'm in the Start menu either. Along that, clicking on the battery icon doesn't do anything either. I'll have the loading symbol on the mouse for about 2 seconds and then nothing but hovering over the battery icon will tell me how much battery I've got left.

Another issue I've noticed is the opening speed of Windows Explorer. It takes significantly longer to open up then it did before the factory reset which was pretty much instant. Same goes for the Start menu to pop up. It takes 3-4 seconds to open which wasn't the case before..



So far, that's all what I have discovered.. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

[Solved] Windows 10 keeps reinstalling KB3119142

I noticed quite some time ago that KB3119142 (Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Update 4 Redistributable Package) kept reinstalling itself for some reason. At least once daily. Sometimes up to several times a day. I just ignored it. It didn't seem to be doing any harm. And I figured they'd eventually fix it. Well...days turned into weeks, weeks into months, with no end to the problem in sight. It dragged on unsolved for at least the last few months. Literally reinstalling itself hundreds of(at least a hundred, felt like more) times in that period of time.

So I finally googled it a couple days ago. And just got around to fixing it today. Which appears to have worked. And it couldn't have been easier to do. I feel so stupid to have let it intimidate me for so long.*Oops!

Below are links to the thread that I got the fix idea from, and the official MS support info page for KB3119142(from which I quoted the above).

Optical Drive Issue

Hello Anak –

Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

What do you think?
