Windows 10: Windows 10 Performance issue

Why is it that lately the screen on one of my Windows 10 PCs just goes blank and displays the following message:


“Reboot and select proper Boot device or insert Boot Medium in selected Boot device and press a key”


Then, if I turn off the PC and restart, Windows 10 boots normally and I am able to continue. But, after a while, the same thing again happens. This happens several times each day. However, after it boots up normally again, I note that I can only send and receive email messages but none of the browsers work (Edge, IE, SeaMonkey, Firefox, Opera and Chrome) and I cannot even visit any website. Pages simply don”t load and the wheel simply keeps turning endlessly anti-clockwise.


My service provider technicians have checked my PC and aver that the problem is definitely with the operating system and not a network problem. The problem cannot possibly be with my modem and router as these devices work well on my other PCs.


In the circumstances, what do I do? A month ago, I did download the latest Windows 10, Version 1903, Build 18362.418 ISO, prepared a bootable DVD and did an in place re-installation of the operating system. Do I do that again or is there another solution? Can someone please help?


N.B. I hesitate to do a RESET as, in addition to some third party programs, all folders relating particularly to POP email accounts will be deleted. I need to retain all messages in my Inbox and Sent Folders relating to two POP email accounts. Ofcourse, Outlook email accounts are no problem as messages are retained on the Outlook servers and can be easily recovered.

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
