I keep finding solutions for the issue with a black screen before login or after login and to use the task manager, but my problem is a little different.
I can log in using my pin, and press ctrl+alt+dlt to get the option to bring up the task manager. However, when i click it... no task manager pops up!
I'm at a loss, been in hold with Microsoft for over an hour now. Please help!
I had similar problems when I upgraded my desktop.
Thankfully I had a full backup of my windows partition to revert back. Ultimately I ended up formatting the partition installing Windows 7, activating it with my OEM license, and upgrading from there.
I then moved files from the backup, to the Windows 10 installation.
I tried for a couple days, many different ways to get things working properly, but ultimately had to format the system.
I determined my problem was caused by programs installed on my initial OS (motherboard utilities, and other hardware related programs) weren't compatible with Windows 10.
Hope the info helps.
How do i downgrade?
