Windows 10: Windows 10 1809 boot failure

My old laptop PackardBell Easynote V7, with Intel Centrino Duo, 2GB RAM and WD SSD 120GB, for my use, performs very very well with Windows 10 1803 x86. Until it has been updated automatically to Windows 10 1809... my laptop now stuck on windows boot logo and i cannot do anything, only power off the laptop with power button. Not boot options to try recovery, nothing! Lost a lot of time! So i've downloaded the Windows ISO with official MediaCreationTool and created the installation dvd to reinstall entire system. ALSO THE BOOTABLE DVD STUCK ON WINDOWS LOGO!!!!!! No installation possible!!!! Also tried to redownloading the iso, and the problem persists. Hopeless, i've found the 1803 version of installation dvd, and with this all works perfectly!!!! But the automatic update reinstall 1809 and system the problem begins again. So i've decided to reinstall 1803 and block automatic feature updates, but in 365 days it reinstall last feature update! I've lost lot of time and lot of works and i don't want this happens again. Anyone encountered the same problem? It's amazing how a simple update is worse than a virus! Is it possibile to definitely stop feature updates? Thanks

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

windows 10 slow boot

I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

Looks to be similar to this: https://www.back2gaming.com/focus-story/ssd-optimization-for-windows-10-windows-8-and-8-1/


In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
