    Auto login, windows 10 tablet, anniversary update freeze bug.


    So I have a windows 10 tablet, think it's eufi(?) Bios. I unfortunately set it to Auto login through netplwiz. Did the anniversary update and getting the freezing problem as soon as I press anything. I seem to be able to change the wifi, not sure what else I gave up a while ago and recently found it.
    Anyone got any ideas? The standard uninstall guide doesn't work, had trouble with a windows reinstall due to the bios. Getting a new otg cable soon so I can have another crack at it.

    Hi Matt. Welcome to the TenForums @Mattfletcher111

    Not sure if it going to be exactly the same on tablet but it should be. Power off device, power on, when you see the dots power it off. Power it back on, see the three dots power it off.

    Power on again and Windows should provide you with the Advance Startup Option.

    Boot to Advanced Startup Options in Windows 10

    I would try the "Go Back to Previous Build". Failing that a reset. (Mind your data, assuming you have it backed up.

    Not sure why you can't boot clean. If you use the Media Creation tool and create USB key it should be find. You may have to disable secure boot and fast boot in BIOS if you have.

    Clean Install Windows 10

    If you would take the time to fill out specs it might be easier for members to help. At a minimum what make model is tablet.

    Thanks for the reply Ken. I'll try out the restore option, I did try the reset options, created a USB for it but can't remember the issue I had. Not sure I used the media creation tool but I'll give that a go too.
    I would have given more specs, but it's a really cheap unbranded tablet, the issues I'm having make it difficult to find specs I'll see if I can find it online, I'll post photos of the bios otherwise... THE BIOS! I'll try and find the specs in there when my otg cable and usb hub arrive :) lol I'm an idiot.
    I did try quite a lot to fix/restore it before, tried all options in advanced start up, just hoping I can eventually sort it

    The media creation tool will format USB as FAT 32. Assuming device is booting UEFI you need fat32.

    Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
