I really think MS hates me :cry: :devil: :cry:

So I first took ownership of drive D:
Then I took ownership of folder XX

I added the "everyone" a few days ago hoping it would help. It...

Our service shop did a clean W10 install on my PC with only the C drive installed. Once I had the rig back, I put back the other drives (2x SSD and 2xHDD). All OK. However, especially with mp4 files,...

Consider me with my jaw on my feet. I reset the network in the other PC as well, and now both machines can see each other, share files, and they show up on their own network window.

I wonder what...

No, just right-click the internet icon in the taskbar, go to network sharing centre and completely at the bottom of the status page is "network reset".

After the March 2023 W10 update, the PC and two laptops on my LAN do not see each other any more. I got something back intermittently, but yesterday there was another update, and now everything is...

Several months ago and again three weeks ago, including compressed air. And yes, it was a bit dust, but not as dirty as some others I know.

I had CoreTemp installed, and since the cleaning...

In and by itself, no. However, there is a high probability of a causal link. The process of installing the update somehow initiated a cascade of events that ended up with a non-functional PCIe slot...

OK, for this and other thread on this forum the same conclusion.

For the full details and to avoid double posting: see this thread

Any idea how I can complain to MS for messing up my system?...

OK, for this and other thread on this forum the same conclusion.

On Friday day zero my old rig functioned perfectly, including video editing with Premiere Pro CS6 and a trail of Premiere Pro 2023...

I know its not the best (or even a very stupid) solution but this is the only way to quickly test if that 8800 is good or not. To be sure, this is only for a few days just testing if it works. I am...

Check the other things as well but its a a bit difficult in the weekend.

From non-profit project work I still have the old PCs (old as in 2000-2008), some functional, some with one component...

As described in two threads here, the W10 March 2023 update crashed my PC.. Could not repair and in the end after several BSoD had to do a complete clean install without GPU Card installed

Once...

Where possible, I tried to follow the suggestions given here.

To repeat myself, the PC crashed and I could not get back into Windows, so letting Windows make a mini-dump from inside windows is...

SPOILER ALERT: found the culprit, solved :-)

The 1-pass memtest on the sticks revealed no serious errors.

So I literally disconnected all the loose-hanging Sata cables (drives were already...

I am now running a "quick" memtest86, only 1 pass on each of the four sticks. I have Kingston 4 GB 1866 mhz DDR3 ram, now 11-12 years old.

I know that for conclusive results you should do 4-8...

ubuysa: Yes Yes, and I did what you suggested after the questions.

So summary:
Friday 24 Windows updated automatically, showed "I am ready - tour"screen, then I switched off PC.

Saturday 25...

I asked my colleagues at a Czech academic institute to make a new installation drive. No problem, but then the system crashed as well after installation?!

BSoD message: Windows could not load ......

OK. This is a continuation from problems after the March 2023 update mentioned in my MCT not working thread

In short, Media Creation Tool did not work and finally got it to work and tried...

Model SSD: Crucial MX300 2.5 SSD, 275 GB

Tested it with Hard Disk Sentinel.
summary:
The status of the solid state disk is PERFECT. Problematic or weak sectors were not found.
The TRIM...

Finally managed to make a bootable drive using MCT. Changes several services to automatic and running, added a registry key and cleaned all temp files etc. But the think that I think did it was...

Megahertz, I used MCT, will try your suggestion tomorrow

I hope this is the correct thread to continue the discussion.

With help of AOMEI, I made a Windows PE bootable drive. That process...

I saw that screen, closed it, and then shortly thereafter stopped the PC. That probably messed it up, so now I cannot get back in, and all repair options even with 3x forced reboot do not work.
...

I will try to keep the thread separate, one about the messed up MArch update and this one about the media creation tool not working.

So more details on what I did.
- bought a 64 Gb Flash drive,...

I had forgotten that I had joined until the forum software recognized my email. :-)

The March 2023 Windows 10 update messed up my PC and got stuck in an auto-repair loop. Tried everything and some more, no dice. No going back to previous restore points, no rolling back of last...
