Next chapter in a (never ending?) story.
Well I finally got in. I started reinstallation of Windows 10 with the option of keeping my private files. The pc started working, and working and working. The little wheel kept turning and turning, - untill after 20 hours I stopped it this morning. Message: roll back changes. And that is what it did. Now it works, like it did before, i.e. with all the same problems, howver, I got a service message from MS saying in my translation:"Please change your MS account in order to allow other apps to start on this unit".
Well, this was new and I logged into my MS account in order to change this, however I could not find anything which led to places where I could change anything of this kind.
Have to leave now for my dentist.

When I was manually updating to the August Update I would get the never ending busy wheel and I would stop and restart it until I got a message that it was trying to recover the install or something or other until I figured it was my Norton Security getting in the way.

It may be best to back up your personal stuff and select keep nothing to see if that progresses.

I don't have a MS account or do I use any of the apps so not sure about that procedure - does it want you to create a new MS account ?

BTW - Good luck at the Dentists :)

As we say in Denmark(not very optimistic!) "a mishap seldom comes alone!
Well, it became rather expensive at the dentist http://www.tweaking.com/forums/Smileys/smillhey/undecided.png
Concerning Windows. i tried once more to reinstall. Everything went fine, it came up to 100%, it started with the (boot) menu as usual, but that's where it went wrong, as the rest never came up. Maybe I should try once more and close my Bullguard security in the meantime.
I am in the process of copying my files. I cannot back them up with my backup programme because of the damn .exe-files not working.
When and if I choose to install Windows without my files, I wonder if Windows format my C:. I have scanned the pc again today for viruses and malware, but I am afraid some harmful waste could remain on the drive.
The service message from MS was like this (my translation): Correct your MS account to apps on other units in order to start apps and continue your experiences on this PC.    It means nothing to me. When I log on my MS acccount the only thing I can see is that MS want me to syncronize with possible other units such as Xbox, phones etc.. However, I get suspicious, when I am having problems with apps and their .exe files.
well, a long song from me. Don't get bored too much. Brgds

Boggin:
In the UK when we see something we don't understand, we used to say, "It's all Greek to me" - just the same as that MS message is to me :)

Do you use any of those apps it wants you to synchronize with - haven't a clue about that either :)

You could format the drive yourself prior to the reinstall.

One good thing about Win 10 now is that it will self activate.

erlingstar:
I am sorry, I don't understand. If I format the C:, how can Windows or part of it remain in order that I can install it? How does self activate function?

For some odd reason, my C: is a dynamic drive, which in many ways is unpractical. When formatting, is it possible to change it to a "normal" drive? If so, how?
