shorty6100 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 On Windows 10 Pro with some issues. I cannot access settings-I get "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" explorer.exe error. The Windows 10 cumulative patch was supposed to fix this. I ran "sfc /scannow" thinking that would fix the issue, but after rebooting, I got a flashing blank screen. I was able to fix with a restore point. I tried all the same things in safe mode; same thing. In fact, I forgot to untick safe mode after rebooting. Only way to fix that was to remove CMOS. Ugh.Then I had a thought-what if StartIsBack was the culprit. I disabled it and sure enough, I was able to access settings. I wonder if anyone else has this issue. If so, I'll have to go to the StartIsBack++ forums for resolution. Maybe I should have waited a few months for Microsoft to fix this OS........

shorty6100 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 I was referring to the OS in general. There are still many bugs, too numerous to mention here. I currently have the latest version of StartIsBack++ and was wondering if anyone else using SIB was having similar issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shorty6100 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Issue solved. When I got home just now, voila-installed new version 1.02, and now "settings" opens. It was a SIB issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
