Cliff I do like the idea of a repair install....what I am wondering though it says it has to be the exact kind of windows on the ISO file. The file I downloaded was from the site that Toronto Cat linked:
http://www.windowscentral.com/window...-iso-available
It gave me several options of windows 10 to download, either 64 or 32 bit. I downloaded " win 10_1607English_x64.iso " . I put it in my documents folder. What I am wondering is the OS build in my machine now is 14393.105 which was put in by a cumulative update for Win 10 version 1607 on Aug 31.
Am I going to be able to use that iso file with that version of windows. I have no idea what build that iso file is?
Also one other thing I went to the Device Manager in my computer and right clicked on the top one & scanned for hardware changes, but it didn't give me anything different that what was already on the screen. I have no exclamation marks on anything and they all seem to say they are are working fine. Don't seem to be having any problems with them at least not right now. ( No changes probably because I had gave up before and tried resetting the machine under settings)
My IE 11 is still doing the same thing when I go to Google search page and try and search anything with numbers in it, Like a phone number lookup. I did go ahead and try all of your suggestions, and since the new windows update, I now have IE version 11.0.14393.0 and the mshtml.dll version is 14393.105 . Not sure how to get the IE version up to match the dll version, tried everything you have said it this thread, and it doesn't seem to change. That is everything except the CCleaner....I used to use that program all the time but since the update to the Anniversary Program, my machine will no longer leave it in here, as soon as I get it in and have to shut down, then when I restart it is no longer on my machine. It's gone. Not sure how to correct that either.
Guess it could be worse, so I have to be thankful that I can at least get into windows (most times), and I am able to get up the next day and start having to fight this computer one more time. About the time I get it half way straightened out there is more updates that seem to screw things up again.
If you can tell me if that iso file is ok to try and do a repair install I will do that. I don't even care if it saves my files, as I have token just about everything off of here except for my office 2010 program and Kaspersky Internet Security 16
