Windows 10: “Unspecified Error” on signing into system

Recently did a usual Windows 10 update on HP All-in-One desktop. After the update, Restarted the compute and got the “circle of death” just spinning, and spinning. The wheel usually spins for 15-30 seconds and the presents the Sign In screen where one is asked for the System Password.This time I put in the correct password and I immediately receive a screen that reads simply “Unspecified error” with only the “OK” box below it.What can I do? Can’t even get into the system to clean the system to get back to factory defaults.Thanks!

remove-AppxProvisionedPackage Unspecified Error


Does anyone know how to fix these errors?





This happens for any provisioned package I attempt to remove (as listed by Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -online).

 

An unspecified error occurred

Hi Matija,

The unspecified error you've received is really strange and is might be due to a variety of reasons.

That being said, have you tried checking the DVD on a different Windows 10 PC and is getting the same error?

In the meantime, let's run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter
to find and repair problems with your devices and hardware:

• Right-click the Start icon, then select Control Panel.
  
• Choose the Large icons option from the View by drop down list found on the upper-right part of the Control Panel window.
  
• Locate then select Troubleshooting.
  
• Click View all from the left pane.
  
• Locate and click Hardware and Devices to run the troubleshooter then follow the next steps.
  

We'll be waiting for your response.

Regards.

 

How to troubleshoot an error that appears only at Restart or Sign out?

I get an error pop-up error message not every, but almost every time I Restart or Sign out. It's the screen with blue background and on top of Restart or Sign out text an error window says:

Explorer.exe - Application error. The instruction at 0x000… referenced memory at 0x000... The memory could not be written.

Sometimes the error code is just zeros, sometimes random numbers. I have tried so much already to troubleshoot this. For example these did not help in any way:

• MemTest86+ (no problems)
• Disabling any Services, Autoruns/ShellExView entries
• Low resolution mode
• BIOS settings are fine, no overclocking etc.
• DISM.exe and sfc
• etc.

However, these do make the error go away:

• End process for explorer.exe before Restart or Sign out
• Safe Mode
• Creating a new user profile (almost the same as clean installing Windows, many full days of work)
• Uninstalling NVIDIA graphics driver (then the card is unusable, of course)
• Disabling Device Manager / Display Adapters / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

I already contacted NVIDIA and the graphics driver is not the culprit. Something has gone wrong with the user profile as the same driver works just fine in a new profile (and there's nothing wrong with the driver anyway, it's just the Restart or Sign out process that has a problem).

What can I do to fix this? One useful thing would be to have a step-by-step procedure for the Sign out. So that it'd ask before continuing to the next step and list what it's doing. Or if I could just disable whatever it does when the error appears.
