Windows 10: Reset, task manager, Google Chrome plus other things not working

I am suddenly unable to use Google Chrome (nothing happens), task manager (nothing happens). I have tried clicking on a system Reset, nothing happens. I have tried a restore, message says it is unable to start restore. PC is taking ages to come on and switch off.

Other things are slow. PC is practically unusable. Any suggestions?

Task Bar Keep flashing and using CPU after resetting default apps

Hello, so i was having trouble setting google chrome to my default browsers, every time i click on Microsoft Edge below browser, and click google chrome, i wouldn't refresh to google chrome, and so i reset the default apps thinking that would help, but
after the task bar keep flashing(refreshing).

I tried to restart windows explorer with the task manager, it stopped, but every time i tried to open google chrome or a link it continues flashing.

If you know any why of fixing this and setting my google chrome to default browser, please tell me

Thanks.

 

Google Chrome will not open, task manager will not launch

OK, it didn't work. I had the exact same problem today.

Rebooting does fix things for a while but it is kind of amazing that it's so easy to find postings by people with this problem yet it seems impossible to find a fix?

Anyone have any ideas? Maybe downrev to Windows 8.1? Everything worked fine there.

Bummer

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

 

First step seems to be that I need to turn off my antivirus. unable to do this, get the message "the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion". Have looked this up and have typed "regedit" in the run command box, I get the same message "the service did not respond.......". How do I go from here?

Thank you

 

What indication did you receive that convinced you to turn off your AV ?
While it is true that some times, certain AV could prevent installation or update, but that is not a norm.

Can you start Repair Install without attempting to turn off your AV ?

 

Step 2 of the instructions state "you will need to disable or uninstall any 3rd party AV or security program"

Will try it without doing this then.

 

I see. My apology.
I did repair install many times and I did not need to disable my AV. I guess it depends on which kind of AV. Some can be quite intrusive.

Good luck.

 

I have clicked the "Upgrade now" button, it downloads a file into my downloads folder. I cannot do anything with this file. Am I doing something wrong?

Would using the media creation tool be an option? Thinking could I get it to work from a DVD? I can now use google chrome (today anyway) but it keeps crashing. Cannot right click any files or folders on my PC, just "not responding". I am getting so frustrated with Windows 10.

 

OK. Let's forget about what had been said or done.
Let's start over.

Hi

Thank you for your help with this. I have downloaded the file (i didn't have options, it just downloaded into my downloads folder). I can right click it but do not have a "mount" option. I have opened it, it opens with Power2go and gives me the option to burn to disc. What do I do?
Thanks

 

Right click at the ISO file > click Open .
At or near the bottom of the list, is there an item called Setup, or Setup.exe ?
If yes, click it > click Open.

Does it start installing ?

 

I have clicked on 'Open with' and had the option of Windows explorer, clicked on this and got the message Couldn't mount file, the disc image file is corrupted. I have tried clicking the link on the website to download again but it's not doing anything. I can see that it is a link that expires so does that mean i can only download from that link once?

Thank you

 

Ignore bit about it not downloading again, it was just taking ages to show.

 

Downloaded again. Still the corrupt message.
