    The handle is invalid


    hey guys.
    I have never set a password for my Computer. And now it asks for a password. I Try once and it says The handle is invalid. I have windows 10 if that's relevant to the problem. I have tried Holding 'SHIFT and clicking restart' but it still doesn't work.
    Please help and thank you who ever does.

    :)

  2. The handle is invalid windows 10

    Hi Daniel,

    It might be due to some corrupted files on your system, we suggest creating a Windows 10 installation disc and perform a repair on the device. Here's the
    link on how to create an installation disc.

    You can also check this article to know more about Windows
    10 installation.

    Get back to us if you need further assistance.

  3. The handle is invalid windows 10

    Hi,

    I got this "the handle is invalid" when i try to logon to my computer.

    I know that i have the right password.

    I have searched for solutions and tried them but i cant logon.

    If i restart and choose safe mode, i still cant logon.

    I did make a new user that dont have a password, but it doesnt work eighter.

    I cant find any way to go pass the logon screen.

    I did get this free upgrade to windows 10, so i do not have a windows disc eighter.

    Can you please help me?

    I havent been able to use the computer for over a week now...

    Br

    Daniel

  4. The handle is invalid

    Hi karar Welcome to the TenForums @karar

    Not sure if you may have got this solved?

    When you said you held shift and click restart what didn't work. It was supposed to start Windows Advance Startup options, did you not get this screen?

    Do you have your data backed up?

  6. Here is the tutorial on Advance Startup Options.

    Boot to Advanced Startup Options in Windows 10

    First thing to try is startup repair. Hopefully it will be that simple.

    Then you could try System Restore assuming Restore points are enabled. This takes you back in time. I would select a restore point just before Feb 13, 2018.

    Next you could Startup Settings and from there boot into Safe Mode. Once in Safe mode you would uninstall the updates applied Feb 13,14 ish. Click Start > Settings > Update and Security > View Installed Updates history. At top of page is uninstall.

    Not sure this route is going to work as safe mode is likely to challenge you for password.

    If you don't know if your data is backed up it isn't. This is a problem. Thankfully your disk is likely still in fine shape and you can copy it out if required. Lets see how the repair processes go.
