  2. Windows 10 system restore issues


    It has been a known issue with OOB setup if an OEM installation is done. As OEM bloatware doesnt allow to complete the OOB setup.
    Disable secure boot if that fixes your problem.. If no go try these steps.

    1. Either boot from a windows DVD or windows 10 USB..
    If you dont have any of those... Try to crash the computer by powering off as soon as it starts loading windows (moving dots) 3 times..
    2. If you are crashing you system jump to step 4
    3.. Choose repair your computer if you are booting from a DVD...
    4. Troubleshoot>> Advanced Options... and choose startup repair. If not resolved
    5. Same steps and choose > System restore.. If you face the same issue after a system restore.
    5. Try to reset without Losing files.. It will delete all the programs though.

  3. Windows XP PRO error after restore

    System restore is handy when it works like it did for me 2 days ago saving the need to reinstall all of my software as well as windows, id suggest using norton Ghost 12 for an excellent system restore feature.

    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
