I hate it so much! Is it me or other people have problems with it?
Some apps that worked before and now no longer works or crashes and closes when opening them! Or the Windows updates were corrupted? Also noticed that the default calculator not even working anymore! Going to Windows settings to check installed apps / uninstall apps and it auto closes! What a joke! And one of my mp3 music files now only lasts for 1 second when it says it's still 3,5 MB? I have no viruses and scanned with Malwarebytes and found nothing which is good!

I think Windows 10 is awesome.

I do have 1 issue with it and it's a pain to fix as it seems it's a different fix each time. Thats my 500 gig SSD Samsung backup drive. It often vanishes for no good reason now and then. Pain in the ass to fix.

Apart from that I have had no issues with it running anything I run on it. ;) Comprehensive Account Security

Can you go through your default programs settings and check nothing is being opened by TWINUI?


Also if you want a story of my experience with windows 10, I recently experienced a windows update screwed up my boot manager. I was unable to fix the boot manager until I had rolled back the update and after doing that the update made the same mess again. So I ended up just completely reinstalling windows (in which I had to delete my partitions too because it refused to just reinstall on top of the old one as the installation guide claims it can) and then there was no issue installing that particular windows update.

SSD's have firmware that can be updated these days, usually by downloading a bootable environment to a USB stick, booting into it, and it'll flash new firmware on. It's probably worth seeing if there's any for you.

I had a similar story with my last SSD. It'd just seemingly turn off at random, whilst in use. The entire system would lock up and then it'd take several attempts of rebooting the machine into tricking it back into being functional again. Eventually some Windows updates fixed the issue though since the firmware ones didn't. I think the theoretical problem is that something tricks it into thinking its had a sudden loss of power and they go into a self defense mode to prevent corruption, this appears to the system as it simply not being there as if it was disconnected because it just stops responding entirely.

Then it died after only 5 years of minimal use out of the blue last winter.

But the other day my power supply shot sparks out the back and died after only 10 months of use, so I guess the SSD wasn't so bad.

[stuff]

Right click the Windows start icon, open up the command prompt as an administrator.

Into the box, type in "chkdsk c:" and press enter. Wait it out, it'll look for problems and hopefully find none. If it finds some, it'll probably ask to reboot.

Once that's done, open the admin prompt again, and this time give it

"sfc /scannow"

This will check for some OS corruptions, the kinds of which might cause application instability like this. Again you just wait for it to do its business and it'll either help or just say it had no work to do.

But frankly there's a reason techies jump to reinstalling the entire system if problems get too obscure like this, easier to just start over and get setup in a few hours again than spend possibly days on looking for a fix that might not come.

Windows 10 is the most untested OS with highest install base in the world.

Microsoft fired its QA team, the very professionals who day-in and day-out hunting for bugs prior and during the lifetime of a Microsoft OS.

Since the turn of 2015, all bugs fixed by Microsoft came from the volunteer testing team known as Microsoft Insider Preview program. That program replaced the paid QA team, and look how messy Windows 10 is.

There is a lot of stuffs overtime that no longer works or working proprely! Updating won't even solve the problems! For examplre the only way for me to uninstall apps, I need to do that via a program called CCleaner! The settings in default Windows to uinstall apps auto closes everytime I try to view the installed apps so that sucks!
