Windows 10: Windows 10 Boot Issue.......

I am in hopes that someone here can help me find an answer to this issue that I have been having as it is driving ME batty that I can't seem to fix it. Here goes, I have an HP Envy H8-1534 Desktop PC that when booting will not show the HP Logo on the screen nor the spinning loading indicator, the screen is just blank. This happens about 50% of the time when you restart or try to boot up cold. The rest of the time it is ok. I can tell when it is going to happen because the HDD indicator light will blink only once. If it is going to start normally the HDD light will blink intermittently like it should. When it does happen, I have to turn off the power switch on the back of the computer (on the power supply), wait a few seconds and turn the switch back on then usually it will boot properly. I have run every HW test under the sun and everything comes up normal. I use this PC for Windows Insider Builds but right now I am running the latest Release version. I have 10GB of RAM, an almost new Western Digital HDD with plenty of space, an AMD HD 7500 Graphics Card, and an AMD FX 6200 processor with 6 cores.

Windows 10: Issues with deleting a particular system file and Administrator Problems.

Original Title: Administrator Problems

The issue is quite simple. Ever since migrating to Windows 10, I've been unable to administrate, though I'm supposedly an administrator with "full control." A current example: I've picked up a trojan file in a c:\windows subdirectory. having full control
of the c:\ directory, I should be able to simply delete the bad file. However, I can't do that because I get the following message:

"You require permission from the computer's administrator to make changes to this file." I've tried all the suggestions here and none of them work. This has been an ongoing issue with this OS since I installed it a year ago. Until now, I haven't needed
to "administrate" over this directory, and thought that Microsoft would eventually get around to fixing the problem, especially since there have been so many complaints about it. Apparently, Microsoft can't handle it. BTW, Windows 10 sucks. It's apparently
not built for end users who want to accomplish real work on the computers THEY OWN. Instead it's built for vendors who want to know who you are, where you are and what you're doing, so that they can tailor advertising to you.

 

Won't read SD CARD windows 10

Below is the result of following your Step 1. So my issue of Windows 10 not reading the SD is still not resolved. How come the required driver to allow Windows 10 to read the SD in my computer was not installed during the fix?

"There is a problem with the driver for USB-IF xHCI USB Host Controller. The driver needs to be reinstalled."

 

Hello Dale, *Smile

As a test, turn off Fast Startup to see if that may be the issue. Fast startup can sometimes cause issues like that.

Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10

 

That seems to have done the trick, I have restarted 3 times since your reply and have not had any issues booting. I had tried EVERYTHING it seems but turning off Fast Boot!!! Thanks for the help and I am grateful for the fast response......funny thing is, I can't tell a difference in Boot Time with Fast Boot off!

 

Great news. *Smile

You usually won't notice much difference if booting from a SSD, and only a little more time with a HDD.
