Right you are! I stand corrected.

Things have been working great for months, but recently Windows 10 magically re-enabled fast boot and I began experiencing the same problems. So I went in and turned it off again. Boo Microsoft!

I had this same problem, but solved it thanks to help from this forum. Here's my post from last August describing the issue:

Been working on this a little more...no solution yet, but more info: ...

OK, turns out this was a non-issue for me. I left the computer on overnight, and in the morning it still had the black screen with cursor. I reasoned that since I'd already signed in before the...

Just upgraded my bro-in-law's HP Pavilion desktop from 8.1 to 10. It's got an AMD processor, but I don't know which one exactly...probably one of the lower level ones. It was a refurb from Fry's,...

You're very welcome! So glad I could help. These forums have been a lifesaver for me during my transition to Win 10, and it's great to know I've been able to give something back.

I also really like Nitro Reader, but have uninstalled it because of this issue. I hope they sort it out and fix the program, because for me it's the best free pdf reader/creator out there. In the...

Whoa! My Photo app live tile just magically re-appeared! I have absolutely no idea why. This is one seriously quirky app.

Yeah Gator...it's also my feeling that it's a sign-in issue. My photo app was working perfectly until I tried to sign in. The first two tries it didn't accept my Microsoft id and password (which...

I do have a login logo verifying that I'm logged into my MS account. But when I reinstalled, the first thing it did was ask me to log in, so I think you're on the right track since you got a...

Away from my computer for a few hours. Will get back to you later, ok?

Here's instructions for how to turn fast boot on and off Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Did you reboot between the uninstall and the reinstall? I did, and I think that's necessary.

Oh, and if this still doesn't work, you might try going into power options and uncheck (disable) the...

OK, I tried this, and it worked! I used option 2, suboption 3. Photos is now working as it should...(it's still a crappy app, but it's working).

Just started happening to me today. Last time it worked it prompted me to sign in with my windows account and password, which I did. It told me my password wasn't recognized (huh?) but that I could...

Problem solved! Apparently Windows was booting too quickly, and the external devices were not detected before the boot was completed. I posted this same question on another forum, and someone...

THANK YOU! I disabled the fast boot per your suggestion, and this morning when I booted up my drive was recognized just fine. This was my last buggy issue after upgrading to win 10. Gotta love...

Just installed windows 10 (was running 7 on Lenovo Y580) and keep getting the "device descriptor request failed" for my Seagate Backup Plus USB 3 external desktop drive. It's connected to my...

Upgraded to win 10 yesterday from 7 Home Premium. When I boot up, it no longer recognizes my Seagate Backup Plus 4TB USB 3.0 drive. But if I unplug the drive and plug it back in, it recognizes it...

Thanks for putting me on to Lenovo's One Key Theater as the culprit. Also tried the emerging issue 67758 fix, but no go. I went to the Lenovo folder in ProgFiles x86, found the one key theater...
