Had the same issue..it worked well for a few weeks then wham couldn't boot..couldn't repair, couldn't safe mode..ended up having to wipe the HD and start again. Had to reinstall Win 7..then in a moment of madness decided to try Win 10 one more time..OK at the moment but if it does it again will be sticking to Win 7 until a few patches in. quote:
ORIGINAL: m10bob When Win10 came down the road, I eagerly upgraded for free, online, and for the most part it seemed to be working, but I share files with folks all over the world, and many of them are professional IT kinda guys. They were warning me to go back to Win7 and told me of many bugs being found. They feel the issue is with the version which was offered free, online, but not the version already installed on new CPU's. Well, last week my computer finally crashed exactly with the symptoms described from here to Ne Zealand, Austria, the Netherlands, and all points between. The darned thing will boot into "safe mode" and at that point will not even recognize you as the administrator of the computer!!!.. After failing with alt-cntrl-delete, and the ESC button, and holding the power button for ten seconds, and all other forms of trickery on my part, I finally had to use system recovery, (No, not restore from a prior date, that failed as well, I had to go full recovery. I did it from inside the control panel so did not lose much of my apps nor other files. (I have 4 HD's daisy chained together with approx 2000 Gigs so my larger files were not on my C drive anyway..) Just passing this along so if you get that darned "SAFE MODE" problem, you may remember how I got out of it...
