• Frozen laptop after Windows 10 download

  I tried to load windows 10 to my laptop and it was loading forever.  I left it last night and now the computer is frozen on the password screen.  Keys and the mouse are inadmissible.  Help!

  Hi Joan,

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  According to the description of the problem, your computer is frozen to the login screen. First, try hard, restart the computer and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

  If the problem persists, I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

  Method 1

  When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

  Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

  Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

  Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

  Method 2

  If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start the recovery Windows (WINRE) environment . To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
  2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
  3. Click repair your computer.
  4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
  6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

  See the following link for more information:

  How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

  Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  Kind regards

• Frozen laptop to "install updates 1 of 1.

  I have a laptop Acer 5542 6 months old. In the last month, I got the blue screen twice, and I have no idea why. The laptop has been hot, is it possible that? I have now bought a laptop to computer has hope that was the least of my problems.

  Apparently not.

  I used my laptop this morning and then it turned off, and he said that he was '1 1' updates to be precise. I went out and left, I came back 5 hours later and it froze on this message, it was plugged, but my mother disconnected so that the screen went black so I told her to turn it off it had made updates to the thought.

  I plugged the laptop back in because the battery should be dead by the time, I'm home

  I don't know what to do, if you want to disable it and run the risk of seeing what is happening or what. Any way that the blue screen is related to that?

  Acer said it is out of warranty, but it has not reached the 6-month period yet!

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DrirveView - set the VIEW to hide
  Microsoft drivers - update those without drain in their names. (Also update BIOS and)

  drivers chipset on the site of the constructor/the system motherboard.)

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  ===========================================

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
  first.

• Frozen laptop up - no access

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5934. When I received a message "a problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to the computer. Now, when you turn on the pc, it shows the Toshiba start screen and goes no further. Seems to have stopped. Impossible to get in Mode safe', F2 or F12 do not respond and the recovery disks do not work. Could really use help SMEs. Am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Call Toshiba and see what are the options they give you.

  They will probably ask you to try to restore the system to factory settings, then you might want to get some kind of bootable CD/DVD first (some Linux Live CD - Live CD of Ubuntu is a good choice one OR operation Ultimate Boot CD for Windows is a basis of Linix Ultimate Boot CD) to see if it boots.  Most have tests for hard drives and such integrated.  If she stops on CD and you can get network and others - you can assume that most of the parts are likely good.

  Well, don't forget to perform a hard reset to release the accumulated energy of the laptop. Do this by:

  1. unplug the power cord and all the accessories.
  2 turn the laptop and make sure it's off.
  3. remove the battery
  4 press and hold the power for 10 seconds, which releases energy
  5. reconnect the battery, plug the charger and turn it on.

  Hello

  No - what are the two Acers come with a recovery disk?

  If this is not the case, one of them would have a recovery partion, which specifically is to reinstall the operating system on it.

  With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process.

  All data are lost when you do the above.

  And for the lost disc, contact Acer and ask them to send you recovery disks.

  They do that for a small fee:

  http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Hi Billybobs,

  • You did it all changes before this issue started?

  You can try turning off the computer completely now the power button on the computer for 10 seconds. This will completely close the computer.  After the computer turns off completely, try to restart the computer and check if it starts very well and if you have access to the desktop.

  Once you are able to boot to the desktop, try to disconnect or turn off the computer again and check if you still face the same problem and after return the result.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.
