Windows 10: Unsolvable Problems

For several months, my computer has been having problems. I cannot open any web browsers nor can I open certain programs; I cannot install any programs or even connect to the internet. DVDs and CDs of any kind don't activate. I tried reinstalling Windows 10 from a USB drive but it wouldn't reinstall nor could I reinstall from the computer's own recovery options. I have tried everything I could find and nothing works. I assume this is some kind of corrupted or missing file problem but I cannot figure out any way to fix it. Can anyone tell me what this could be?

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

 

Almost identical numbers get mixed up when called

Hello hpholm,

I have tried the steps you suggested- the international assist was off to begin with. The number are + xxxx.

In my contact list the numbers/names are correct. The problem occurs when I dial.

Thank you for the tips, hpholm, my issue remains unsolved.

Best regards

Ekaterina

I've seen many a computer guru trumped with a seemingly unsolvable problem that was caused by a sneaky bastard SATA cable. It should always be on the short list to try.
