Windows 10 won’t shut down restart /Device Manager and Update Issues
Having MAJOR issues with my custom build desktop. Was running fine for a few days. No malware, AV, or sketchy software, only using Windows Defender. Issues started, were fixed, and are back full flight again. This is my gaming rig.
Here is my CBS log for current errors:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l9lvhviiwmjm0kc/CBS.log?dl=0
· Windows 10 Pro Legit copy, clean bootdrive install
· I5-6600k @ 4.6 stable (removed OC’ for now)
· GIGABYTE Z170XP-SLI Mobo
· 16GB Ripjaws DD4 2800 CL16
· Evga GTX 970 ACX 2.0+ SC x2 in SLI (removed OC’ for now)
· Samsung 840 256gb boot drive
· Crucial M500 1Tb SSD
· Asus 24” 1080 IPS, Xstar 1440p 27”, 60” LG Plasma
Possible Causes:
· W10 is totally busted, works fine on my Surface Pro 4, was a nightmare on my Pro 3 with random crashes
· May have patched my video drivers with the nvidia pixel clock patcher 1.3.5 incorrectly (to run my Xstar @ 120hz)
· Unknown root cause?
Here are the issues:
· W10 gets stuck on restart, shutting down, getting Windows ready Don’t turn off your computer (need to hold power down to shutdown, then issues on boot)
· W10 might shut down but leave PC fans lights and usb powered
· W10 start menu occasionally stops working on certain boots, also icons disappear and menu becomes see through (aero look)
-Windows Store Icon invisible on Taskbar and won't open
-Windows Apps won't open
· W10 update always says no internet connection, or stuck on checking for updates….
· Device Manager totally screwed, stuck on driver update, stuck on scanning, stuck on removing drivers
· Can’t restore from backup, just hangs
· Device Manager missing monitors
· Most programs won’t install or uninstall properly gets stuck
· USB storage devices stopped being recognized on some boots
· Settings doesn’t always pull up, freezes on some menus
· Can't uninstall updates, just hangs
· Can’t eject USB drives
· Random boot errors
Fixes attempted:
· Sfc/ scannow – found corrupt entries and repaired
· Troubleshoot startup repair
· Windows Update (won’t connect when PC is hosed)
· Turn off fast startup, remove sleep from menu
· Tried restore from backup but hangs
· Managed to get USB recognized on a boot and used my W10 USB install to run a repair install and retain apps and files. THIS WORKED. All symptoms were cured. I did a clean video driver removal in safe mode using DDU, reinstalled latest Nvidia drivers and PC was running fine after several reboots. USB drives stopped responding so I shutdown and the problem started over again will all the same symptoms.
· Second time I tried to run the stick solution it got stuck on getting windows update….
· Sfc /scannow is showing no integrity issues now but all problems are present.
Not sure where to go from here
