Reply to The shows you watched in 2020 in Movies & TV & Books WinCustomize Forums

Of those in your list I watched the Aussie show, Glitch. Others were The 100 season 7 and Outlander season 5. As for the rest, I either didn't bother or was preoccupied with other things. To be honest, I've watched very little TV since Game of Thrones ended.... and decent shows on our regular free-to-air here in Australia have been sparse. Thing is, our free-to-air channels have free streaming channels that show a lot of those shows listed and more, so I could catch

I'm thinking that I may have to do a clean OS install and start from scratch to remedy the issue. The one problem with that is getting the ROM drive to be the first boot device. I'm thinking that if I disconnect the 4 SSDs/1 HDD, then perhaps the system will boot from

Like you, I'm having issues, but with an older AMD build that sometimes will boot and other times not. According to the BIOS message when it doesn't boot, the Boot Manager is corrupt and system cannot start. Thing is, it does not happen all the time. There's times when the system boots first time without issue, then there's times when the OS attempts to load but doesn't first time, meaning I have to do a hard reset, after which the OS loads without issue. What I don'

You can still do a system repair from the installation disc in Win 7, it's just a slightly different process... it begins in Control Panel rather than going to Settings as per Win 10. Also, have you tried scc /scannow to detect and repair corrupt or missing system files? I've not been able to test this because I no longer have a copy of Win 7, but it might be worth giving it a try. I recall reading somewhere that Win 7 recognises M.2 drives if they're mounted o

[quote who="Jafo" reply="14" id="3796385"] Incitement to riot has always been a 'crime' [/quote] That! And incitement to riot is equally as bad as the actual rioting, especially when it comes from a public figure, a person of influence, a person in a position of power. Furthermore, when such a person uses media outlets to incite insurrectionists to riot, then those media outlets are quite within their rights to terminate that person's ability to do so... no matter who

Banned for getting tips how to be an insurrectionist from watching the TV news on the 6th. [quote who="Ryat" reply="25463" id="3796396"] What happened on January 6th crossed a very ugly line. [/quote] Yeah, it was certainly not a good look. Hopefully it never happens again, especially after 5 people lost their lives in the chaos.

Okay, I now get it. Another possible solution could be booting from the Win 10 installation disc and selecting the repair option. From there you will find several options to hopefully resolve the issue. Alternatively, how about doing a System Restore to a time before the offending driver was installed? I had to do that when a network driver gummed things up and Safe Mode wouldn't run. Funnily enough, Safe Mode also ran normally once the driver was gone, so yeah

Have you tried going to Settings > Update and Security > Recovery. Then under advanced Startup select Restart Now. When your rig restarts you will see a menu with several options > select Safe Mode and your machine will reboot with that selection. From there you will hopefully resolve your issue. Hope this helps.
