Clean install onto new notebook in Audit mode - All good & working. Shutdown & reboot, create local account & get to desktop - all good. Connect to wifi, Windows activates. I check for updates: updating elantech touchpad to 15.13.3.1 (I had 15.13.1.1), defender updates & adding enhancements (English(GB) optical character recognition). Reboot. Now I've noticed some apps I had at startup aren't running! MSconfig shows "Selective Startup". Changing to Normal & rebooting makes no difference. It's always boots with "Selective Startup"!
anyone knows what is this error about. I have this error on all of my pcs. The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {6B3B8D23-FA8D-40B9-8DBD-B950333E2C52} and APPID {4839DDB7-58C2-48F5-8283-E1D1807D0D7D}
Lots of results for the same error going back to Win8. Quick scan of a few didn't turn up any solutions (besides a newer Insider build fixing it for someone and an MS employee telling people to ignore it), but you can check and see if I missed something and share it with us.
Bought the game Jalopy from steam and it wont load, mind you they don't say it's for win 10 but still, thought the compatibilty mode might have worked if win 10 was that good. What's odd is before buying it, I download the game from "cough you know where" and it works perfectly in win 10 on an old graphics card on another computer.
Compatibility mode is just a series of shims. It's not magic and sometimes developer incompetence or changes in Windows just can't be worked around successfully, so things break.
As a lot of kids like Jalopy game and the devlopers must be quite dumb in not realising win 10 has been out a year and you would think steam would have pressurised the developers to update the game instead of people complaining and claiming their money back for a basic fault. Mind you steam didn't give me my money back (well the steam a\c is in my grandson's name) and just put him in credit so they still keep the money until you buy another game..a sorta rip off.
Symantec Workspace Virtualization doesn't seem to be compatible either. Upgrading to 1607 results in "system service exception" and "APC index mismatch" BSODs at 75% of upgrading. Installing it after Windows has been upgraded results in the same BSODs during boot up also. Latest version was used: 7.6.210
Bah, 4 out of 5 clean installs have "Selective Startup". With the system above I performed a "Reset this PC" & ran WU again. Same updates of course but this time when I reboot everything has started! It's still listed as "Selective Startup"...
Well searching for a file manager as good as old Norton where it would show all files on the hard drive, sort them in dates, file spec etc...well the first one I attempted to try was Saleen file pro, anyway selected install and it crashed the computer well I'll try again and four more to go.
I just did a clean W10 anniversary install, and tried installing Comodo Firewall, since people here and on their forums say it doesn't work, well, it works just fine for me. Did they update Comodo? Has anyone done a clean W10 anniversary install and gotten this comodo issue?
In general doing an in place upgrade w/o uninstalling any third party FW/Security suite,AV, antispyware is a sign of the lack of any common sense.
