  • WIN8 - system restore ends after a shift of reboot, and then in the advanced options

    Ok.. for some reason any my laptop win 8 has just decided to update itself to win 8.1 - when he does this he discarded my profile and frog marched me through the creation of a new profile with a Microsoft account - something I DON'T WANT especially if I am supposed to connect a Microsoft umbilical cord on my credit card!

    Not happy, I tried to do a system restore to an earlier point by making a shift-restart and then the selection of advanced point-to-point previous system restore options-

    On this operation, you receive a warning that once started: the process cannot be interrupted or stopped... it was four hours ago his will... Now what?

    Finally, why is Windows 8 so horribly difficult?

    Hello

    Is your Windows 8, a copy retail or OEM (OEM)copy?

    As you have already started the system restore and it does not end, the only option you have is to force restart the computer and check if you are able to boot to the desktop. If you are able to boot to the desktop, then check what operating system is installed at present. If you have Windows 8.1, the only option is to perform the refresh.

    Note: Applications that you have installed Web sites and DVD is deleted. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

  • In windows 10, Office apps are "not responding" after I installed Thunderbird SOLVED uninstall Office, reboot, and then reinstall Office

    In no time after the installation of Thunderbird (a week after the upgrade to Windows 10), my desktop programs stopped working properly. For example, when you try to print a Word document, the program stops responding.

    The explinations or any suggeestions?

    I was able to reach the Windows support and they had me uninstall Office, restart, and then reinstall Office. This seems to have solved the problem - without doing anything with Thunderbird.

    I'm happy to use new Thunderbird SOOOOO. I could never work in Windows 8 and I hate Outlook. Phew!

    The last update, I myself guard re-initialization.  I tried to start in safe mode, but he continues to return to complete the update and I can't ever get into windows.  It's Vista.

    Well, that solved the problem for me after an hour and a half very stressful.

    Don't know what the cause was updated, the only ones I chose were labeled 'Important', I did an update for some time (for fear of the unpredictable results). The updated list is now empty except for SP2, so I'll install that afterwards and see how I hear.

    The 'Ticking' noise is indicative of an HD program.  You can made a brick out of it.  The Message on the selection of the appropriate boot device indicates the tilt of the computer 'See' the HD.

    You see the HD in the BIOS when you start?

  • Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

    I have an Asus UX31 of Zenbook ultrabook. It is running Windows 8, I installed it via download, is not a physical disk.

    Recently, I ran Windows Update and he knew as usual, until the time of reset. It restarts, showed on the screen "install updates", but then finally started only the following error message:

    "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.

    As mentioned, I don't have a disc, my ultrabook is not a hard drive. Internal storage only that there is a 128 GB SSD. I went into the bios and check the boot settings and the SSD is correctly listed as the only option to start.

    I can only assume some question that's happened with the update of windows. I'm not sure of how to proceed now? ATM, I only have a weight £1000 :/

    Hello r,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    By the description of the problem, I understand that you have problems starting from the computer to the desktop screen, it gives the above error message.

    I imagine how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. I appreciate your efforts to solve this problem.

    As this problem occurred after installing Windows Update, this could be the reason for the incompatible driver installed with the Windows updates.

    As you have already checked the settings for starting a disc SSD set correctly, I suggest you disconnect all the external device and restart the computer, check if are able to boot to the desktop screen.

    We will try the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: I suggest you create USB recovery media as your laptop doesn't have the DVD Rom.

    If you're having problems with your PC, a recovery USB disk can help you troubleshoot and fix these problems, even if your PC does not start.

    Create an installation media for Windows 8.1
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

    Method 2: Once you create USB recovery media, auto repair:

    Follow the steps below to perform an automatic repair:

    1 restart the computer, wait for the logo of the manufacturer to check the option of start menu, it will usually F12.
    2. the start menu key can be different with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the start menu button, you can consult the user manual.
    3. restart the computer, when appears the logo of the manufacturer, continue to press the Boot option menu key to enter the boot menu and change the option to boot in DVD ROM.
    4. Once you start your computer by using Windows 8 DVD or system repair disc, a black screen appears with the gray text "press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.
    5. Select the exact time and the type of keyboard.
    6. click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.
    7. click on troubleshooting, advanced option and then click on auto repair.

    Hope this helps, please reply with the status of the question to get help.

  • Satellite M50D-A-10W - error "reboot and select proper boot device."

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M50D-A-10W passing me all nuts "reboot and select proper boot device."

    This has happened before and it was solved by ctr-alt-del and F12 to get into the BIOS where the date went back to some time in 2010 - after put so far and to change the boot device, everything worked fine... until the next day.

    Now I get the screen "reboot and select good boot device ', but the F12 key does not; I also tried F2... the message keep multiplying, no BIOS...
    Help, please!

    In some cases the BIOS is only accessible by pressing the button turn off force on the lower side of the unit.

    Info:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB3C03JR0000R01.htm

    After that you were able to start the windows system, its highly recommended to update the BIOS as BIOS update would solve this annoying problem.

  • Reboot and select good Boot Device problem - my PC does not start!

    Hi all

    Whenever I turn on my computer I get the message "Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected boot device and press a key.

    I checked the diagonistics material and these are the results:

    Test CPU-

    Hard drive: failure of the connection Test - Error Code: BIOHD1

    Memory - past

    I don't think that the issue is a faulty connection. My reason to believe so because I think that I had a virus on my computer (I was not able to confirm) I tried to delete the last time I was able to use the computer. Then I turned off the computer to restart, but unfortunately, that's when I got this error message.

    I had this problem once before (about 3 years ago) and I was not able to solve this problem, so I just stopped using the PC. Then one day my Dad turned on the computer (a few months later) and it worked all of a sudden.

    Anyone know what this problem is? How can I solve this problem?

    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you very much for your time and effort!

    Additional information:

    It was originally a windows 7 PC, but I have upgraded to windows 10, which is the current operating system.

    Product: HP p6620f

    I managed to start my PC again.

    I have unplugged all connections and left it that way for about 24 hours. Then I plugged everything back in and all of a sudden the PC worked again. I don't know if it will last, but right now it works.

    I'll write another post if something changes.

    Hi all

    I have now repeatedly received the error message "Reboot and select proper boot device."

    I tried the F12 approach to , but my Start Menu does not have this option.

    I'm frustrated that the new laptop played if bad, given that I have had Toshiba devices for about 10 years.
    In addition, I am disappointed that potentially serious consequences to remove the drive were clearly deprecated for me, before you start.

    Please give us a solution.
    The laptop is 4 months old.

    I seem to have accidentally deleted the data on the disk.

    Obviously the HARD drive recovery procedure is not possible now because the HARD drive recovery files have been deleted.

    I guess you have not created such recovery media as recommended in the user's manual.

    Well, in this case, you have a chance to order a missing middle of recovery and recover the laptop to factory condition.

    Means of recovery can be ordered here:

  • Satellite C660: message: reboots and select good boot device

    Hello

    I dropped the laptop today literally a few inches from the ground, it slipped from my hand as I was placing it on the ground. He fell flat.

    Now I see the message "reboot and select proper boot device."

    I tried a few different options that I read, and I see the HARD drive in the BIOS F2 thing or whatever it is called. If it is recognized, but I can't seem to move in the message. Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    PS I will need clear instructions, I'm not stupid, but I need to explain. I don't understand some of the pieces.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think that your HARD drive is bad.
    I think that you have not checked it correctly in the BIOS.

    Please go to BIOS once more, by pressing F2.
    Now on the first page, you will see date, time, details of CD/DVD drive and you should also see the details of the disk (size, name)
    You see that?

    Otherwise, the HARD disk is not initialized by the BIOS and this means that, because of the fall, the HARD disk has been damaged.

  • PC freeze/crash followed a "Reboot and select proper boot device."

    We have 11 PC running on a local area network, all currently running Windows 7 Professional. The following happened in recent weeks, on 4 of our PC 11:

    PC freezes completely, however, the mouse cursor will always pass normally, clicking on anything don't generate a result, or will be by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE. My first step in the fight against that had to leave the PC alone for 5-10 minutes to see if the problem resolved itself. After about 5 minutes, the PC will be closed on its own and try to reset, prompting the message:

    "Reboot and select good boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected boot device and press a key.

    When you press a key, the message again and again. The only solution I've found that this was a closed hard, leaving it for a minute and restarting, how everything seems fine.

    I'm suspicious that this may happen again, or on the PC so far unaffected, if someone could advise on what could be the cause, or how to stop from happening, I would be grateful.

    How old are the hard drives on those computers?  Is it possible that they have lack of hard drives?

    Download and run the software tester of the drive by the hard drive manufacturer to test the equipment.  Tell us the model numbers (Device Manager), readers and we'll give you links to get the correct software.
