Windows 10: Strange Behavior

Was browsing in Chrome, all of a sudden my scroll wheel on my mouse was disabled, and Windows was just making a clicking noise instead of scrolling the page.

Closed everything, restarted, and got a weird blue screen asking if I wanted to Restore/Repair, etc.

Restarted in Safe Mode, everything seemed fine.

At login, MS forced me to create a PIN. Tried to bypass it a couple times, finally just gave in and made one.

System is normal now. Scanned, check drive health and everything is good.

Was there some garbage update just recently, or was that something else?

Sleep Problems - Strange wake up behaviors

Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I went into my BIOS and neither "MSI Fast Boot" or "Fast Boot" were enabled. I took a few pictures of the BIOS config and of the power-related options, and attached them below.

 

Registry strange behavior in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\...

I tried to clear all contents of
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts
then set security permission to logger user name () to be clear from:

• create key
• set value

and let it inherently apply to all keys under it

But it responds with icons flickering / blinking very often
so I undo the security setting.. but while keeping on registry browsing under this key I came across:

1. The jpg filetype key and userchoice key were created
2. On userchoice key the logging user () ACL was created, and
3. It's set to DENY on SET VALUE !

Is it windows 10 behavior or an intruder's been screwing up ?
Please help me.. many thanks in advance

 

Strange update behavior

I'm trying to figure out why you had to install KB3197954 manually.

1. Did KB3197954 fail to install when offered via Windows Update or didn't you get a chance to install due to the "available updates show up but quickly disappear" behavior?

2. Assuming Win10 is, in fact, installed on the HDD, how much free space is available on the HDD (usually the C drive)? ...the SSD?

3. When, if ever, was the last time you ran Disk Cleanup?
