Windows 10: Stuck at VS2015 isolated shell - can't remove it - can't re-install it - yet not working.

Long story short, I am trying to install MS Visual Studio 2015 isolated shell en-US, as is needed for another application.


That installation does not go anywhere, as nothing happens except the logo showing up on the screen for about 5-20 seconds and then it disappears.

I did try uninstaller, and forced uninstall...same thing...


From the Control Panel I can see that "MS Visual Studio 2015 isolated shell" is present and can't uninstall it no uninstall option. After clicking on the 'change' button...same thing as mentioned before logo pops up ...5-20sec...logo disappears




I grabbed the dd_vs_isoshell_nnn.log from the collect tool and here are the bottom several lines :

I googled this error but nothing.

:)

 

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?

 

The sound isn´t working

It was working normaly, but sudenly it got stucked so i turned it off, when y turned it on i got really scared, because it wasn´t working, i´ve checked everything, but it still doesn´t work, and even i can´t do skype calls. What do i do?

 

Printer isn´t working after latest update.

After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.
