Quoted from Grizlyrig:Yes that is sometimes known to happen if upgraded over wifi. Seems some files get corrupt and will screw up the boot up. I had to upgrade using ethernet cord after the hassle over the phone with tech support. Windows 7 was better imo.

Yes, upgraded over wifi. How the hell do I get out of this?

Quoted from Crash:Just had another horrible experience with 10. Turns out Microsoft magically decided to launch the Windows 10 installer on boot on one of the office PCs I maintain for a business. So we were freaking out thinking Windows 10 had installed itself over our previously working Windows 7 setup. Fortunately it didn't, but it completely wrecked IE to the point where it crashes immediately when you try to use it. I reset all factory defaults for it, no luck. Also uninstalled it and downgraded to an older version, same bull****. Now Windows Update is stuck in a loop so I can't update IE once again and the offline installer failed. If I can't fix this mess I'm going to have to reinstall the whole fricking OS. Golf clap, Micro$oft. Golf clap. It's literally the worst browser hijacker I've ever come across. It honestly feels like I'm fighting a malware infection.
My only working PC is now trying to upgrade automatically. It keeps saying to restart for the upgrade and I click no then it sets an automatic time to upgrade. I still can't get my other PC working and can't lose this one.
Quoted from RWH:Has anyone experienced this windows 10 attempting to launch itself? Hadn't been on my laptop for close to a week and when I opened it the other day it had tried to install but had encountered problems which thankfully stopped the install. Sent messages out to the tech support but haven't heard back yet.
See my post above.. That's what it is doing to me to. It's setting itself for automatic update. I keep blocking it and it keeps setting it again. I've had Malware that was easier to get rid of. My first PC is junk from it.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying your Windows 10. My PC is still bricked and the only thing they can tell me to do is a clean reload. Of course that would wipe out the 100's or arcade pictures of many pins I worked on plus the last 10 years of family pictures that are on my drive. Somehow I turned off my restore point so it's either wipe it or nothing. Just going to have to buy another PC and pull my pictures and other stuff off the old drive.
