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 ๐Ÿ˜ญ

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 itย  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 ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

It probably won't now I've posted this ๐Ÿคฃ

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 ๐Ÿคฃ

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 ๐Ÿ˜ญย 

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 screenย  message saying the laptop had "run into a problem" and needed to restart.

If memory serves,ย  it wasย  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.

    • It has come to this authorโ€™s attention that the world of 4+ admissions โ€” that most enigmatic of educational rites โ€” continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons โ€” Instagram โ€” to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek.ย The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Penciltonย  ๐ŸŽฉโœ๏ธ
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass.ย To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs,ย it had been relatively undisturbed,ย  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
