Lock screen question

debgram said:

I have windows iso on usb and dvd, but I u sed the dvd and tried repair, no luck, so I finally had to break down and do clean install, having it remove all my programs which I'm slowly getting back installed, I guess it was a good thing cause then I realized some programs I didn't need anymore. My IE 11 is running better too, windows live mail is running better. I did it like the link you provided. I am having another problem though after running sfc /scannow.........it couldn't repair some things and I saved the CBS file in .rar format in case you want to look at it

When you said you did a repair you meant from here Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

Did not mean Startup repair through the advanced startup screen ? How so no luck with repair install and what happened about no boot issues ?


Either clean install option is going to remove all software, but the first option will keep settings, i would of gone with custom clean install since you did this anyway. sfc /scannow unless i see the cbs log may have to do with Display drivers (Graphics card). No need for a .rar format as it is in a text file and can be copied. C:/Windows/Logs/CBS

I tried to do repair like the image above, I also tried the system restore and nothing. I did the completely remove programs, settings, the whole thing. The CBS file is pretty big will it fit here

I even tried fixing the boot thing and it all would say successful but it wasn't, so I gave up and did the clean install

But this boot thing happened all of a sudden before doing any repair or during a repair ?

The boot thing did it before repair that's why I was trying repair

Wonder what caused you a boot error to begin with. You followed the tutorial by selecting the setup.exe file on the ISO for repair install ?
Thinking either a software or driver was causing your original issue with the lock screen, so be careful putting back software you had on before do it one by one if you do, not all at once. As one can be the culprit.

What did you select when doing a clean install, custom or upgrade ?

the one you have highlighted.

O.k., i did not highlight i took it from the tutorial, but that means you did a custom clean install which removes everything usually formatting the hard drive unless you select to save a certain partition.

You will again need to go to your manufacturer's web site and download all important system drivers and reinstall them again, for you being custom built i would go to ASUS for this Motherboard ASUS P8P67 deluxe.

Issue with the Personalization missing part of the settings isa mystery to me why this happened and have no clue why and how to fix can be part of what might be showing in your CBS log i am not sure since i have not seen it. Chances of trying another clean install, not sure.
Then the downloading of drivers for ASUS can wait.
