Windows has experienced another issue.
Windows has experienced another issue.
I plan to switch to Linux on this machine later, once it's no longer my primary system and becomes a secondary one. For Windows 7, I understand it was preferable, but I’m sticking with Windows 10 because it feels more familiar and simpler for me.
When you go back far enough, you can run them in an XP VM and it doesn't depend on the host OS—whether it's mac, Linux, Windows, or advanced setups like Unraid, VMware ESXi. You can always use a decent USB drive or a random hard drive and install Linux from there (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, whatever suits). If you need email access and W10 decides to make a big change, you can still reach it using the Start menu or something similar like Classic Start—it fixes the issue!
At the end of the month my main PC won’t be used anymore. I’ll be able to install Linux easily and enjoy it. For emails I can still reach it via Chrome, though it’s a bit tricky. I’ll fix it soon—I think.
But.... hehehe.... good idea. But I need to get my secondary up and running. I'm eventually gonna buy either some parts or the whole PC (i7 4790K, 980, etc) from @Dreaper , so that will become my secondary. But for now I have a sandy bridge i5 and will possibly purchase a GTX 950 for that.
The simplest way to fix it is to create a new account, set it as admin, log in, and verify everything functions properly. If it works, move your data over and remove the faulty account. After doing this, while using the new account, Windows will still generate the account, update apps, and download them. It’s best to wait until the process finishes before proceeding. You’ll notice the Down Arrow tile disappears from the Start menu. If it remains: go to Store > Profile account next to the search bar > Download & updates > "Check for updates." If updates appear, click Store > "..." > Download & updates > "Get updates." After completing these steps and restarting, you can transfer your files, uninstall unwanted apps (or unpin shortcuts), set up your new account, and finally delete the old one.
I encountered a search problem earlier, but it was resolved by opening the Windows File Explorer and going to “C:\WindowsSystem32\WindowsPowerShellv1.0.” Right-click powershell.exe and selected Run as administrator. After launching PowerShell, paste the provided script and run it.
It looks like the device stabilized on its own after a short period, which is typical. Just need to leave it in that state for roughly three hours.
