Unbelievable.

My laptop ran fine for a while and now it's got the blue screen of death on startup.

I've just been running through all the options with Which Tech, and nothing they have tried (rollback etc etc) has sorted it.

So I've got to crawl back to John Lewis and I guess it will be back to the factory reset 😭

BUT

Also unbelievable.

Since the BSOD I have been using my old Dell laptop, which nobody could fix either.

It runs Windows 10, and had been running at watching paint dry speed, as indeed it was when I started using it again recently due to the problems with the new one.

It's quite old, and it  wasn't worth paying to get anything hardware related sorted given the move to Windows 11, which was why I bought a new one.

BUT!!!

There was a Windows 10 update recently. And since then the Dell has been running at lightning speed 😮

It probably won't now I've posted this 🤣

  • Sue changed the title to Laptop not sorted any more 😭😭😭

glass half full not half empty.

A builder said that to me once!

What I should have said (but thought of it too late) was that given that I was paying him to do a job, I expected that my glass would be full, not half full 🤣

But yes, you are right in this instance!

You have a backup of your data?

Yes.

And now the old Dell is playing up again. Wouldn't shut down last night 😭 

Clearly I am either very unlucky or something more sinister is going on

🤣🤣🤣

laptop not shutting down, could be because the operating system is updating

Oh dear. I waited for ages then used the power button.

I had previously got a blue screen  message saying the laptop had "run into a problem" and needed to restart.

If memory serves,  it was  ok after it restarted, but then later wouldn't shut down.

I did Google and apparently it is a common issue with Windows 10.

I haven't had time to investigate yet.

Wouldn't you usually get an onscreen message if the system was updating, telling you not to turn off your computer?

It has just started ok, but I don't know what will happen now.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
