Windows 10: Windows 10: Computer now it is only giving the the option to troubleshoot and shut down

Yesterday I was restarting my computer so I would be able to update a driver for my drawing tablet. Then my computer tried to update, but failed, and I was greeted with a screen that is still there.


My only options are to Troubleshoot and to Shut Down. When I try to troubleshoot in any of the options it either isn't able to diagnose a problem or even reset to a previous version of windows.


Its maddening because I have looked everywhere and still haven't found a solution. Right now I have a 2k paperweight. Please help. Preferably I wouldn't like to loose all my drawing files- but if need be I can just reset to factory settings and die on the inside as all my in progress art is lost. And then if I have to reset to factory settings I also have the day and a half of installing of software to do- so again, I would prefer not to have an option that wipes the memory.

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

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.
