    Totally un-responding W10 install


    I've been given a machine to look at for a friend but it has me stumped, and I'm quite techy!

    W10 Pro, booted it the other day and is now stuck at a blank desktop (personalised background image is there), with a totally unresponsive taskbar. Spinning wheel when you try and click or right click it. Ctrl + alt + del works, but task manager just doesn't load. I can get to the login screen and reboot. But that really is about it! Exactly the same in safe mode, except I randomly get the option to "end process" of Windows when I click.. chkdsk /f /r run via W10 install media and it reported no problems, but I didn't think it would. I can read the drive fine if I remove and connect to another machine.

    If I reboot, it sometimes hangs at the spinning wheel (for an hour plus), some times reboots fine, sometimes I'm told "closing 1 app and shutting down" and that "task host window is stopping background tasks (\Microsoft\Windows\International\Synchronize Language Settings)", which does end automatically after a minute or so.

    I'm running out of ideas to try next...! Obvious thing is pull any data required off the drive and do a clean install, or attempt a repair install but I'd rather leave this as a last resort.

    Any suggestions welcome!

    Thanks.

    PS Can't include Windows version as I can't get a run / command prompt to run winver....*Sad

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Totally un-responding W10 install :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
