Windows 10 problems with locking up
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2016 12:11 pm
Ok, well I installed Windows 10 on all the systems here at the house after finding Classic Shell in this article - http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/make- ... -windows-7 - Makes Windows 10 so much more bearable. now ever since the latest updates my system just freezes up. Windows wont close, nothing will open and I have to do a hard restart. I have no idea why. I went to roll back to windows 7, well lo and behold it found problems and could not roll me back (I hate windows so much) so I went ahead and did a complete wipe and reload. now it took me 3 days to get the updates again due to this rural slow ass internet and it seemed ok until today when it started again.
I installed...
firefox
roboform
weatherbug
steam (but no games yet)
classic shell
Acronis true image 2015 OEM
That is really it so far. All programs are the newest versions. Oh I installed Malwarebytes but it says none of my lifetime licenses I bought in bulk about 7 years ago are any good even though it worked fine on Windows 7 when they changed to yearly because they are valid paid for keys, so it is not running unless I run it.
Any ideas?
I tried everything online about the power management stuff, registry things, etc before I did the complete wipe and nothing worked at all.
before I start uninstalling things and doing the long drawn out trial and error I figured I would ask here and see if someone a lot smarter than me (doesn't take much) would know anything.
I should have never gone to 10....damn mandatory updates just suck.
I guess i could reinstall Windows 7 as long as upgrading to 10 did not invalidate that license....
UPDATE - I just cloned the Crucial MX100 512GB SSD to a Kingston 120GB to see if it may be the drive due to the power issues I had previously (which seemed to be fixed after I removed the bad fan from the loop).
