• Windows 8 does not not to the Welcome screen and the start option advanced

  I met a very strange situation.

  1. I first put my system into hibernation and walked away for a while. Then when I tried to turn on the system, it freezes at the Welcome screen. I tried the strok key (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) but nothing happened. I noticed that the ' FN ' on my laptop works very well! I could turn on and turn off the Wifi with them. But the system has not responded to all other keys and my touch pad.

  2. I tried waiting for the system to respond for a long time. When I noticed that the little light on my laptop showing the status of the HDD stopped flashing, I thought that the system could already went wrong so I hard reboot the system.

  3 then, strange thing that happened:

  (1) first is the logo of my BIOS flashed on the screen and disappeared, which has never happened before.

  (2) then the system told me that he prepares the update. But I remember turning off the automatic update and I had not installed update before the system went wrong. Although I remembered that there is a warning to the login screen that there is some new important updates and I should install them.

  (3) the system is restarted automatically when the increase is 30%. After this reboot, the system maintains hang at as before welcome screen.

  4. I've tried several things and hard reset for many times but nothing has changed.

  (1) I tried to disable the quick start to the BIOS.

  (2) I've tried allowing CSM (disable UEFI in legacy mode)

  (3) I tried to press F9 to start and got into the advanced boot options screen. However, all there hang two! My keyboard and mouse are both inadmissible.

  (4) disconnect all connected to my laptop.

  Then I'm lost. I can't repair or restore my system. I think that my keyboard works fine because I can change the BIOS setting to use. Now, I'm at my wits end with. Can anyone suggest anything?

  Update:

  Turned history that I tried to plug my USB mouse to the laptop. It worked, and when I connect my USB keyboard that works too! But minutes after I logged on successfully to Windows, I got the WORKER_INVALID and restart the system.

  I found this post which has almost exactly the same problem with me (I use an ASUS laptop too!). So I uninstalled my driver warned of the gesture, and then the system has not crashed over.

  But my problem has not been resolved. I downloaded and installed the latest driver of ASUS and always found my touch pad and the keyboard does not. I also realize that even in a different operating system on my system (LinuxMint), my touchpad and keyboard will not work.

  To summarize:

  Now I can use an external device (USB keyboard and mouse). But the built in keyboard and touch pad does not work. The latest driver for ASUS (ASUS Smart gesture) and ASUS ATK Package driver does not work. Strange thing is that when I open the computer, can I use my keyboard and even type in the Linux grub shell. But once the system got loaded, both in Windows and LinuxMint, the keyboard and the touchpad don't work.

  Now, I suspect my BIOS went wrong, but I do not know and do not dare update the BIOS so recklessly. Any ideas?

  Hello

  Thank you for the update on the question and good to hear that your problem is solved and everything works well after the replacement of the motherboard from ASUS. This information will help other members of the community to the same question.

• WITH video card driver, windows freezes after 10 seconds after the Welcome screen, WITHOUT a driver, it works fine

  Hi guys,.

  I recently had the problem that when I start my computer, it freezes after 10 seconds when I saw the Welcome screen.
  I'm in safe mode, it works perfectly fine. I have uninstall ALL my Nvidia drivers and then restart the computer in normal mode, and then everything works fine. I go to the Nvidia website again, download the latest drivers and the same freezing problem happens again. I also tried with older drivers provided by Nvidia, still the same problem.
  Completely, I formatted my HDD and reinstalled Windows 7. I install drivers Nvidia and the same problem again.
  I have a Nvidia Geforce 250GTS
  The processor is Intel Duo Core converted E6850 (boxed)
  4 GB of Ram DDR2 Ram
  East of card mother ASRock G31M-S

  Everyone knows that the problem is?
  Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English, I tried my best :)

  Hello.

  The video card drivers enable the features of the card to use.  When in safe mode or with no driver installed only the basic functions of the card are used.  If the card is faulty, which is more likely, the defective part of the map has probably come into play with the full drivers installed.  This explains why it works with the Basic setting.

  See you soon.

  Thank you, Marcos.

  Marcos82,
  So it appears your system tries to connect to a domain.  You should have an option in the login screen to change the domain that you log in.  You will be able to change it to connect to any PC.
  Have you tried "Last known good configuration" among the startup options?  If this is not the case try first and see if it's back to normal.

  Post back with the results. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• Cannot connect on Windows, asking a password that has never been

  I never wanted a password in my PC.  Starting this week, I have a password that I never ask. Now, I can't do anything in the PC without the password I've ever had.  This is the case, try to get the icon of ESPN.  Microsoft Windows asks a password now in order to do the things I've done without it.  I can't stop my PC because it asks for a password when he wakes.  The Colombian who responded (paid) could not fix it and I'm stuck with it.  Need to take it to someone who really knows how to clean all passwords unless you help me...

  Hi Lourdes,

  Thanks for posting your query to the Microsoft community. Sorry for the delay in responding. What version of the Windows operating system is installed? It's Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or Windows 10? How many accounts user are there in the computer? What was any recent change in hardware or software on the computer?

  Please take a look at this article which provides information about Microsoft password policy.

• U410 - cannot connect after Windows Update after restore factory when the time zone is not UTC-8.

  Steps to reproduce the error:

  1 use OneKey recovery to restore the initial factory settings.

  2. on the initial setup of Windows screen, select a time zone to UTC - 8, UTC (London)

  3. connect to Windows, open the Windows Update control panel and click on "Install updates"

  4 restart the computer to complete the update.

  5. on the login screen, try to connect or shutdown the computer.

  Result:

  Computer is blocked with the only desktop wallpaper and mouse pointer visible. Does not meet all the keys. By pressing the power button sleep machine. Press again on he wakes the machine in the blocked State.

  I have reproduced this problem 3 times for initial help restore every time.

  Wordaround:

  Before starting the factory restore processes, set the clock of system by 24 hours. After the end of the restoration of the factory, set the system clock to the correct time.

  Otherwise, wait 24 hours between a factory reset and try to install the Windows updates.

  Analysis:

  This problem is caused because of the way that Windows stores time. It assumes that the system clock is set to local time rather than UTC. When you use the OneKey recovery system he doesn't know what time zone of the system clock is set on, and so it assumes that it is set to UTC - 8. If it is in fact the UTC value, OneKey Recovery creates files with a time stamp of 8 hours in the future. This causes the Windows Update to fail.

  One step that I forgot to mention, that may be important:

  After the installation of the plant, during the initial configuration screens, I updated the time zone GMT London.

  Since the OneKey recovery uses GMT - 8, this can cause some files to have a timestamp of 8 hours in the future. Maybe if I waited 8 hours before the update of this problem would not occur. I'll test this by setting the clock system for 1 week in the past, make reset factory and then it retroactively to the correct date before the update.

  EDIT: Test successfully. This workaround works.

• Problem installing windows 7. It will not go beyond the Welcome screen.

  Hello people,

  Good so I recently bought an SDS and trying to do a clean install of windows 7 but it doesn't let me get past the Welcome screen. Before even the colored balls appear and it just hangs there. I am really frustrated and tried a few things but nothing I try seems to work.

  Any help would be so appreciated!

  Hello a tad noob.

  It shows the SSD at all? I would check to see that it is indeed to be picked up by the BIOS, and if not, check the cables.
  Sometimes, the Windows installation can chuck a fit when it detects a disk with a sector of boot/MBR not valid and won't install it. To resolve this problem, you can try the following
  1. start Windows 7 disc.
  2. when the Welcome screen is displayed on the Windows installation, press SHIFT + F10, which will display a command prompt.
  3 type 'diskpart' (without the quotes) and press ENTER.
  4 Type "list disk" and press ENTER.
  5. If all goes well, you can see your SSD in the list. You should see a number identifier. Now type "select disk X" (where X is the number of your SSD) and press ENTER.
  6. type 'clean' and press ENTER. He will write an empty MBR, YOU WILL LOSE ANY DATA ON THE SSD if you had anything on it.
  I hope that one of these tips helps you:

• Cannot connect to Windows Vista due to password problem

  I have a Dell XPS computer laptop model PP28L and run Vista Home Premium. When I bought the computer I bought in a pawn shop. Of course it was sold with no records at all. No recovery or restore of Windows disks. I have a valid Microsoft "proof of License'for my Vista Home Premium. Should I be reinstall Windows and if yes how I'd get the disks.

  * original title - cannot connect on Windows Vista Home Premium because someone changed my password, deleted my ID of the administrator and the guest connection. I am in the *.

  Your only option is to do a clean install of Vista.  There is no free, download of the disk.  Contact the manufacturer of the computer and they may be willing to sell you a set of recovery disks to reinstall the system (but you will need 23 digit product key to activate it in all probability even if sometimes it is not necessary when it is made with recovery on the same computer discs).

  Here is Microsoft's policy on software lost: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246 you can see is not much help.

  If you can borrow an installation disk of Vista genuine of the same size of the bit of ANYONE, you can use that with your product key to re - install the system and start over (you get a new administrator account and set your own password for him - or to leave empty that you choose).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. Safe Mode ADMINISTRATOR account has no password by default (unless someone has changed the password so it should be available).
