Hi friend! This is what we're hoping for. I maybe late logging on Monday, but I'm sure we can solve your issue with the snipping tool, one way or another. LOL

Hi! Thanks for your PM! Here's some info for you! Hoping sfc will fix your issue. sfc /scannow would be the easy fix. Windows 10 has made this much better then it was in other windows versions IMHO The sfc /scannow command will scan all protected system files, and replace corrupted files with a cached copy that is located in a compressed folder at %WinDir%\System32\dllcache. The %WinDir% placeholder represents the Windows operating system folder. For example, C:\Windows. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833 PS Welcome to the forum. Glad to see a little action here! holdum333

Hi Friend! A up date on your issue would really be appreciated. Also you might want to give this a look. http://www.groovypost.com/news/microsoft-makes-it-easy-to-decline-windows-10-free-upgrade/

If you're having problems with Windows 10 on your PC, you could use push-button reset to refresh or reset Windows. Refresh your PC Fixes software problems by reinstalling the OS while preserving the user data, user accounts, and important settings. All other preinstalled customizations are restored to their factory state. In Windows 10, this feature no longer preserves user-acquired Windows apps. Reset your PC prepares the PC for recycling or for transfer of ownership by reinstalling the OS, removing all user accounts and contents (e.g. data, Classic Windows applications, and Universal Windows apps), and restoring preinstalled customizations to their factory state. The options above are great for what they are intended for, but you could also do a repair install of Windows 10 by performing an in-place upgrade without losing anything other than all installed Windows Updates. This tutorial will show you how to do a repair install of Windows 10 by performing an in-place upgrade without losing anything. Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade - Windows 10 Forums You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to do a repair install of Windows 10.

Hi friend! You say w10 was forced on you, so I'm assuming you up graded to W10 with the windows updates. I usually recommend to try the repair feature in windows 10 first. There are several things you can try when W10 isn't working like you want it to. The first thing I would try is the W10 repair feature. I would also run these commands in the command prompt. If none of this helps, post back and we can try a in-place-repair-upgrade. Please run these scans: File scans Right click on the Start menu icon and from the revealed list choose 'admin command prompt'. Type: sfc /scannow press enter and await results In the same command prompt and after the above scan has finished type: dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth Press enter and await results (longer this time). If the first scan found files it could not repair but the second scan is successful, run the first scan again using the same command prompt box and this time it should repair the files found.

Hi! Here's the drivers you will probably want to up date! Video Card: The difference in speed between the generic Windows drivers for your video card and the official NVidia or ATI/AMDdrivers will surprise you. Even if you aren’t a gamer, make sure you have the real drivers. Motherboard/Chipset: you’ll want to make sure to head to the manufacturer’s site and grab their chipset drivers. If you bought a PC, head to their site, if you built one, go to the motherboard manufacturer’s site. Every installer is different, but in general, you can just run the downloaded driver. Sound Card:the native Windows drivers won’t include all the extra sound features like virtual surround, etc. If you bought a PC, head to their site, if you built one, either go to the motherboard manufacturer’s site for onboard sound, or the sound card manufacturer’s web site otherwise. Network Card: most likely you’re using some type of onboard card that’s part of the motherboard, and you already grabbed the drivers from there. date if you are having problems.

Hi! Run a sfc /scannow .Here's how! Also run a chkdsk /r If you are still having BSOD. You can run Driver versifier! Please run these scans: File scans Right click on the Start menu icon and from the revealed list choose 'admin command prompt'. Type: sfc /scannow press enter and await results In the same command prompt and after the above scan has finished type: dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth Press enter and await results (longer this time).

Useful Tips for Dealing With BSODs BSODs have a variety of root causes, but these tips will help you deal with many blue screens: Use System Restore: If your system recently started blue-screening, use System Restore to roll its system software back to a previous state. If this works, you’ll know that it’s likely a software problem. Scan for Malware: Malware that digs deep into Windows and gets its hooks into the Windows kernel at a low level can cause system instability. Scan your computer for malware to ensure buggy malicious software isn’t causing it to crash. Install Updated Drivers: An incorrectly installed or buggy driver can lead to crashes. Download the latest drivers for your computer’s hardware from your computer manufacturer’s website and install them — this may fix BSODs caused by driver problems. Boot Into Safe Mode: If your computer is blue-screening every time you turn it on, try booting into safe mode. In safe mode, Windows loads only the essential drivers. If a driver you’ve installed is causing Windows to blue screen, it shouldn’t do so in safe mode. You can work on fixing the problem from safe mode. Check for Hardware Problems: Blue screens can be caused by faulty hardware in your computer. Try testing your computer’s memory for errors and checking its temperature to ensure that it isn’t overheating. Reinstall Windows: Reinstalling Windows is the nuclear option. It will blow away your existing system software, replacing it with a fresh Windows system. If your computer continues to blue screen after this, you likely have a hardware problem. http://www.howtogeek.com/163452/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-blue-screen-of-death/

This program will analyze your crash dumps with the single click of a button. It will tell you what drivers are likely to be responsible for crashing your computer. It will report a conclusion which offers suggestions on how to proceed in any situation while the analysis report will display internet links which will help you further troubleshoot any detected problems. Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

HI Steve! I'm backing up to two external drives. Good thing because my 1TB seagate just bit the dust. It showed two bad sectiors and when I tried to let the seagate program fix them with their program, it went crazy and BSODed. I don't use Cloud. I really don't have that much data to worry about. I have a little data on the W10 onedrive. Some keys like my MBAM life time, and a few more. Here's a little information about Macrium. It's a little more then I do! Macrium mention Cloud, but I'm not familiar with how that works and Macrium really doesn't explain it very well. I'm a full image guy myself and I don't do differentials. Hope this answered your reply. Thanks for a great forum! http://www.macrium.com/help/v5/Overview/Planning_a_backup_strategy.htm Many organizations store their backups off-site at a local bank or at a different site. Some pay to upload backups to the cloud. Wherever you decide to keep your backups, try to choose a place where the same kinds of disaster, for example flood or fire, would not affect both the system and the backup. You also need to consider how secure your backup is where it is stored
