Windows 10: Win10 problem

Hello!

I have a problem with Windows 10 on my laptop. I had Windows 8.1 then i upgraded to Win10. Sometimes after upgrade (3-4 times a month) computer lost sound, started to work really really slow and i couldnt open anything in task bar, if i was playing a game i got fps drop and i had to play on 1 or 2 fps. I had to restart laptop and then it worked normaly. This wasnt a problem becase it was just few times per month but now I have problems with this few times per day. I have to restart laptop 3 times a day. I dont know what problem is, this problem is since i upgraded to Win10.

:)

 

HP laptop screen is completely black. Windows 10 upgrade was in process.

Product Name: HP compaq presario laptop CQ56-DX115

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64 bit)

I have seen this problem before with my laptop. Under Windows 7, I would simply perform a hard reset and my laptop would then boot up Windows 7. Over the past few years, I have only had to do this two or three times.

Yesterday, from the task bar tray at the bottom of my Windows 7 desktop, I found that my free Windows 10 upgrade was available from Microsoft and that an installation could be scheduled. I followed all the prompts until I reached the Windows 10 upgrade
screen that said "Working on it" with a large spinning icon. I waited for several minutes when I assumed that it was probably loading the new OS. I left my laptop alone for the remainder of the day. I have a comcast cable wifi connection.

Today I went to start my laptop and I can hear the fan, and the usual self-test noise from one of the drives, but nothing at all on the screen. Pitch black. I pressed the power button to shut off. Then I pressed it again to start. I can hear the fan and
one of the drives in self-test, but there is never anything on the screen at any moment. No cursor, logos, absolutely nothing.

I performed a hard reset according to instructions provided by HP's website. Additionally, I have noticed that the caps lock button blinks in a manner that communicates "CPU not functional" according to HP's blinking light code table.

So I went back to HP's website and followed instructions for recovering the BIOS. I now have my laptop working again and I'm back to the Windows10 "working on it" screen. I have read that this process may take more than 24 hours.

After approximately 3 days, Windows 10 installed but the desktop screen flashed constantly. I'm going to look for my restore disc and go back to Windows 7 for the time being.

 

How to start win10 in safe mode? (system thread exxception not handleed)

Hi,

I was watching movie last night and suddenly Computer crashed.

I tried to restart it and had an error message that compuer crashed and needed to restart. Restart will occur automaticully. Now I'm stuck in a restarting loop again and again and again.

I tried to enter safe mod dy hitting F8 while starting but it did not work. I also triedthree times to restart and shut down, but that did not work either.

Any ideas what to do next?

 

Hi have you made sure all latest updates are installed.
Your BIOS is up to date and all latest drivers are installed and working.
Have you tried a reset using Tutorial found in my Signature
Also a SFC Command which is also linked in my signature

 

Assuming your Win 10 is activated.
Do a Repair Install, also known as In-place upgrade Install.
This method allows you to keep your files, settings and apps.
Activation is automatic.

Use this tutorial:

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade


Editing..................
You might want to do a system file check first to look for corrupt files. It will try to do repair if any found.
But, in my opinion, you will have to do the Repair Install eventually.

How to do system file check :
Right click at Start button > click Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.......
sfc /scannow

> press Enter.
It will take quite sometime.
When finished, it will give you one of the 3 reports...............(paraphrasing)
1. No integrity violation.
2. Found corrupt files and repair successful.
3. Found corrupt files but unable to repair.

If the report is #1, your solution lies elsewhere.
If the report is #2, check if your problems have been resolved.
If the report is #3, use this method................
In the same Command Prompt (Admin) windows, copy and paste this command...........

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

> press Enter.
Again it will take some time.
When finished, it will give you a report.

 

Simple way to reset your computer....open Settings....Update and Security....Recovery.....Reset this pc.....Choose an Option.
I did a successful restore yesterday choosing Keep my Files.

 

It might be "simple", but Reset This PC will only allow users to keep personal files and nothing else.

 

If you have an M$ account and are synchronised to the cloud all files and SETTINGS are restored.
All Apps are uninstalled but a list of them is left on the desktop.
See my post yesterday "Weird Malfunction" As already stated did this successfully yesterday.

 

OK.
You advocate Reset this PC.
And I, Repair Install.

More than one way to skin a cat.
I will not carry on this discussion.
The decision rests on the OP.

 

David I just learned a new method of doing a repair install, still checking the process out, but looks like all the user has to do is click on this link from MS then click upgrade option, and it does a repair install without having to download any ISO. !!!
This is the link.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/soft...load/windows10

 

Thank you. I do know of that.
I do not use it simply because I want to have the iso downloaded first before installation.
To me, it is important to have an iso burnt to a bootable media....... for future use.

 

To : OldMike65,

I forgot to add................. Your suggestion would be perfect for the OP. A simple Upgrade now and way he goes.
I hope the OP will use your suggestion.

Thank you.

 

Its seems to be a nice fix.....it also does this. (From Lx07)
It is the same as described in the tutorial but even easier (it created $Windows.~GWX and $Windows.~WS directories the second containing installx64.esd in case anyone is interested and wants the .esd)

Personally I would not touch the bios.

If you are using an SSD it could be going bad...I had this happen a while back. Back-up important data just in case.

 

Just one thing I am not sure of. This "digital entitlement" is always opened to misinterpretations to me.

What if.....................
I started with a Win 8 computer > upgrade to Win 10 Home > bought a Pro key > updated to Win 10 Pro.
Now, I needed to do a repair install.
If I used this Upgrade Now option, which Win 10 version would I end up with after the repair was completed.?
