Bootable CD problem

I'm having an issue creating a bootable CD. I created a System Repair Disk via the "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)" (which an odd title in itself). After the initial creation looking at the disk in File Explorer shows files/folders and it has a label. Upon trying to boot from it, it just goes...

Windows 10 update 2004

I hope this is the right place to post this, plus I didn't want to hijack someone else's post. I set my ethernet connection to 'metered' so that some updates wouldn't install automatically - the update to v2004 in fact - and indeed for a week or so it was shown as available to download. Then 2...

Windows 10 (64bit) continually searches for updates

Could we put a hold on this guys. After about 6 hours (over 2 days) it appears to have found and installed updates (KB452147) and is pending a restart. So I'm not sure if I have a problem now or not.

Windows 10 & Windows 7 interaction

This query actually fits into both versions of Windows category but I'll ask it here. I have Windows 7 Pro on an SSD and a 2nd standard 2TB drive containing data etc. With the end of support looming for Win 7, I bought a 2nd SSD drive. I replaced the Win 7 SSD with the blank new drive...

BSOD occurring more frequently

Hi. Thanks for the reply. Since my last post I searched for csmon.sys and found 2 occurrences one of which was in a folder belonging to 'ransomstopper' which I had recently installed. I uninstalled this and haven't had a BSOD since; and csmon.sys doesn't exist on my system anymore. So I'm going...

BSOD occurring more frequently

After following and implementing the 'driver verification' instructions, the system wouldn't boot and kept blue-screening. Here's the contents of c:\windows\minidump. It contains 6 files, non of which however equate to the time of the latest BSOD caused by this action. I've attached them in...

Intermittently cannot boot from CD/DVD

Hi. Apologies if I'm a pain. I've created a new Easus boot disk and so far 3 times out of 3 it's booted. Whether there's still a problem or not remains to be seen. If I need to I'll get back here. I know updating the BIOS can be risky and so far I never have. Thanks again for all your help.

Intermittently cannot boot from CD/DVD

After successfully sorting my Windows update problem (thanks to softwaremaniac), I now sometimes am unable to boot from a CD/DVD. (Unsure if the 2 are related or not). When I insert a Windows 7 Repair disk and boot from it, it tries to display the blue boot window with one option at the top to...

[SOLVED] Unable to install KB4343900 in Windows 7 Pro

Hi. I do believe panic over. When the system rebooted after the successful update I went into 'msconfig' and stupidly selected 'Normal' startup NOT the selective which had many items disabled. Consequently, when the system booted up next time a dozen or so windows appeared which hadn't been...
