I dont have AV i just rebooted and now windows is stuck after the loading screen, it loads the mouse and nothing else. i tried going to repair but it says there is no admin account on the computer. im redoing a windows sb bootable and will try to fix it from there.
Happens on my notebook (on real HW, not VM). Just force shut down your system and next time it'll boot normally.
seams you messed your system in any way.If refresh doesn't help ,time has come to install from scratch
seems like it messed up on its own, i rebooted yesterday night after the KB hotfix and everything was fine, the 2 VM soft are the only thing that ive installed and that have not worked since i installed the system. it does not boot in safe mode either
Well I managed to boot into safe mood without network. Desktop had a box with Explorer. Eye hard error, I did task manager relaunch Explorer got to control panel and found a restore point before the 2vm install, it's restoring now, let's see what happens
The restore point fixed the issue it seems, however the start menu does not work anymore. Edit: i did the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\EnableXamlStartMenu - DWORD 0 trick and i got a start menu back
just to recap: You said you didn't mess but it messed itself ... hope you must not laugh about yourself since you said you altered the registry ... glad to see you back in a nice environment
VMware Player v7 is working fine for me: OS/2 Warp and Ubuntu 14.10 running smooth, and OS X 10.10 not so smooth.
Wheres the fun in that. Welcome to the world of beta testing, where anything that can go wrong will go wrong. At least twice a day.
