  1. No windows opening after Windows 10


    Hello,

    I have a custom built computer that my has previous roommate built for me. Recently after I installed windows 10, my application icons have disappeared from my desktop and there are no windows that appear on the screen.


    So I can click on an application and it appears at the bottom edge of the screen, but it never actually appears on the full screen. Is there a way I can revert it back to a time when this didn't happen or is it my graphics card that needs upgraded?

    I just want to play a world of warcraft. I am more of a mac guy so I'm not sure how to solve this problem.

    Thank you for your time.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

    OK, so i figured it out myself

    Found the logfile in "C:\Windows\Minidump".

    You need the Windows Development Kit to open it and a bit of googling to understand it.

    Found out that a Daemon driver caused an error. Removed Daemon but this didn't solve it. (ps: Daemon itself worked normally).

    I let hibernate my computer again and found another error with sptd2.sys: SCSI Pass Through Direct layer

    More google and ended up on the duplexsecure site. Downloaded the W10 version and voila: problem fixed.

    For the Windows support team: It would be really helpfull if you could pass problems to a more skilled helpdesk who can do more than proposing the standard solutions in case those won't work.

    Cheers

  3. Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

    OK, so I also found out that this occurs when sleepmode (for me after 3 hours) changes into hibernate mode.

    Seems like the going into hibernate and/or starting up from HIbernate results in a shutdown. In safeboot it works perfectly.

    Anyone any idea how I can figure out where it goes wrong. Is there a way to log this (I couldn't find it in bootlog)

    No windows opening after Windows 10

    Hi, a number of people have experienced losing the content of their desktops when upgrading to Win 10. If you only lost shortcuts, that's no great loss- but it is sthg that shouldn't happen of course.

    I can't tell whether your PC is compatible with Win 10.. and it's a custom built PC so no manufacturer support on compatibility.

    You can revert to your previous OS and working state (allowing for any changes made after the upgrade) provided you do it within 30 days of upgrading.
    Windows 10 - Go Back to Previous Windows - Windows 10 Forums

    This may be your easiest path, albeit major changes always carry risk, hence we recommend using disk imaging (3rd party e.g. Macrium Reflect (free) + its boot medium + external storage, updating your image periodically and at key points.
