Critical Error message on boot up - new 10103 install on laptop
I just upgraded my Dell Latitude E6400 from Win7 to Win10 1030 (not clean install). Everything looked good a first and I did the first set of Windows Updates. Shutoff laptop and set aside.
I just cam back to it and upon restarting I get an error message.
There is a window/box in the middle of the desktop that says:
CRTICAL ERROR
A critical error has occurred in the Shell Infrastructure Host. Start Menu, Cortana, and some Apps may not be available. Please save your work and sign-out to recover.
The box with "Sign-Out Now"
I have tried three times to reboot (cold restart too) but it keeps coming back with this error. Has anyone seen this before?
I can open Task Manager and third-party media player on my desktop (but the Error message stays on top). I can not access anything from the taskbar and most taskbar icons are not loaded.
I'm going to try to boot into safe mode.
