    Settings is not working! Start not working! Keep seeing Explorer.exe errors!


    Hi :

    I’m so frustrated! I got a random Windows 10 Security update KB4601319 about 2 days back, and upon my laptop restarting automatically, I keep seeing an “Explorer.exe” error when I try to access my “Start” menu which doesn’t work anymore, neither do any of the other icons on the taskbar except for Firefox. And the worst issue is I am unable to access my Settings due to these issues...


    I have tried NUMEROUS things ranging from using the “Run” software for msconfig, WSReset.exe, regedit, powershell, rstrui, winver, regedt32, etc..

    I have also tried using “Command Prompt” for Scannow, DSIM, and a few more things but I keep failing to find a solution.

    I’ve tried rebooting, going into Safe Mode and trying to access my settings at least via Run, but NOTHING.


    I have an Acer Aspire E5-574G laptop and these issues along with the “Explorer.exe” error are ruining my life! I’m going crazy spending hours trying to find solutions, and everything I found online leads to errors and no resolutions :’

    The error is numbered as “File System Error -2144927436” btw. And if it’s not this, it says “Class not Registered” a lot of the times too.


    P.S: I must also mention that, every time I restart my laptop, once desktop interface loads, my entire screen goes black for 5 seconds, and then it goes back to normal. Which is something that’s never happened before..


    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Please help me!

    :)

    Error: No work available to process

    Hmm. Either it's put out errors and WCG is limiting the work units available, or the project list may not be set to supply other WU when one runs out. (if the problem lies here and not on your end)

    On the options to your left, if you go into Results Status, select the computer from Device Name and then look through results see if either they were returned late, errors or any other kind of issue that would stop the servers supplying WU from that perspective.

    If there are no errors then it's maybe down to your project list. So selecting Device Manager from the left menu and then clicking on the profile assigned to that computer and make sure that it's assigned to receive WU for other projects if they run out.

    At least those steps will rule out problems from the WCG end.
