Windows 10: Strange things happening at bootup

When I start my HP laptop with WIN10, after the bootup screen appears, if I am not prompt to hit one key to advance me to my login PIN, strange things happen. Like: old pages showing up, some containing sensitive material. Others are just various pages that I have visited in the past. Then when I hit "any key" to advance me to my PIN page, everything works properly allowing me to proceed as if I was not slow to log in. Just curious why all of the "old" pages pop up while waiting for me to log in. Version: 10.0.18363 Build 18363

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

 

error code 0xc0000098 on bootup

tried every step on the tutorial, several of the steps required a lot of tweaking just to get the computer to run them like DISM, SFC, fixboot. even then I would still get error after error after fixing the particular issue that was holding up the utility
from running.

I still do not wish to re-install windows as I wish to keep my programs (some very old) and my thunderbird email messages and folders

it is still strange to me that on bootup I get that bluescreen so fast, it's like the pc doesn't even try to boot up, just immediately sends me to the error screen as if it was part of the firmware
