Windows 10: Really, it's an answer.

I will be getting rid of the POS HP/microsoft laptop I bought that restricts me by S mode and will invest in a company and product that will support my needs as a user. This product is useless!

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

Hi SathishKumar5151

Please follow the steps provided in the Answer, by Vasile M.

No, this is not caused by virus, but it could be related to phone hardware, steps listed will help you establish the root of the issue.

Kind Regards,

Paul,

One of my all time favorite tutorials from Kari:

Create media for automated unattended install of Windows 10

This tutorial is geared towards creating a reference system and completely customizing it by modifying preferences, installing apps, etc. and making an image, then using an answer file to automate installation of that image

If you simply want to create an answer file to completely install a fresh copy of windows without all those customizations or the need for creating a reference system, do this:

Follow the tutorial up to and including step 3.18. In the early portion of the tutorial, Kari references a reference system. Simply ignore those references. Jump to section 4 and follow the steps through and including 4.8 but note these exceptions:

1) DO NOT start a new answer file. Keep adding the items listed in this section to the answer file that you were already configuring in section 3.
2) In step 4.3, perform all the actions noted BUT DO NOT SET the option called "CopyProfile".
3) In step 4.4, one of the optional componets that you can set is a cutom logo. Note that if you are not creating a reference system, you will need to copy the logo to C:\Windows\System32 manually after Windows is installed.
4) Once you have completed step 4.8, jump back to step 3.19 and complete the steps to the end of section 3.

You now have a complete working autounattend.xml answer file. Create your Windows media with this file in the root (let me know if you need instructions). If you boot from that media, Windows will install 100% automatically without need for any user interaction.

CAUTION! Label your media!! If you boot from this accidentally, it will wioe out your HD and start installing a Windows without ever prompting you. Yes, you have to press a key to boot from this media, but if you forget that you have an automated installation, then bad things will happen!

This next one is another great tutorial from Kari. This one is like a "quick start" where he provides a pre-built answer file and all you need do is modify a few items:

Apply unattended answer file to Windows 10 install media

That should be enough to get you started, and I'm hesitating in dropping the really big stuff on you, but if you want something really comprehensive and in depth, let me know. This stuff isn't for the faint of heart *Smile.
