Windows 10 stuck on screensaver
2 days after resolving all of that mess, this new issue started. I ended up needing to clean my registry because at the time, none of my executables worked. I tried running the vundo fix and the Sricam fix, but neither found any issues. I have tried to reboot in safe mode, but I receive the dreaded "blue screen of death".įYI.I recently had several spyware viruses that I removed with McAfee, SpywareTerminator, SuperSpyware and Malware Bytes. No matter what keys I press, I am stuck looking at my wallpaper. Like others have reported, CTRL ALT DEL, CTRL SHIFT ESC, Function Keys, Right Clicking, etc. Upon the 2nd try, I can see my wallpaper with no icons, start menu, task bar, etc. It starts to login and then quickly logs me out.
#Windows 10 stuck on screensaver windows
When I start my Windows XP machine, I am able to login. Unfortunately, I am having similar issues that have been reported. Thank you everyone who has offered advice. Hello - First let me say this is a great forum. To reply to the message of SearingWolfe Please click on the link below: Sadly, you will have to do this every time you log on, if you have a system restore point before this desktop problem, then do a system restore. In the white bar type in explorer.exe and you will have your desktop back. A small window will open up that says Create New Task. Now click the Applications tab and you will see 3 buttons at the bottom called End Task, Switch To, and New Task. If you do not see explorer.exe then skip this step. Click it and click End Process at the bottom right. you will see explorer.exe somewhere in there. click image name to organize it in alphabetical order. Do a Ctrl+Alt+Delete and look in the process tab. When I log on, I can only see my wall paper. Good luck.ĮVERYONE THERE IS A MUCH EASIER SOLUTION!! I found that I did not have explorer.exe in the registry, and I have the same problem. I do not know if it works or is an appropriate solution. SearingWolfe suggested the following for those that cannot find explorer.exe in the registry. Thanks to everyone for their help and happy new year! Hopefully this thread will save many people lots of time in the future.
You can back up the explorer.exe folder (and files in the Image FileĮxecution Options root if applicable) by exporting them before the deletion Rebooted and everything was back to normal. In there I had an explorer.exe folder that I deleted (you may have anĮntry in the root of the Image File folder as well. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Currentĥ.
File, new task, typed regedit, clicked okĤ. ctrl+alt+del to get windows task managerģ.
I read many posts related to the topic and eventually did the following:Ģ. In short, the proposed action plan that worked for him and seems to be I do not know if this is the same problem, or just the same symptoms since our shop is almost all XP and all SEP.Hi, I found the following at a Windows XP Newsgroup at For those other PCs, I might notice 3 a month or so out of about 200 workstations showing the symtoms when making my morning rounds. However, the problem is far more infrequent. I have also caught the same, initially mentioned symptoms occuring on other models with SEP and XP 32-bit not equiped with Hitachi drives. However, preliminary testing indicates that this has just changed the nature of the problem to spontainious reboots rather than simply locking up the PC.įor what it's worth, the few times I could get information off of a test machine from just before it locked, or now rebooted, showed that COH had just started for whatever reason. I have flashed the updated firmware to the drives. The severity varies from once every couple of weeks to several times a day. I have encountered this problem specifically on Dell Optiplex GX760s with the afformentioned Hitachi DVD drives running SEP on XP SP2 and SP3 32-bit.
