My only option is to try and make a bootable memory stick from an old laptop which hasn't been switched on in 12 months, but that is a job for the morning before work.
Best of luck with that.

Are you on an Insider Build? Make sure that you don't have a gaming controller plugged in as one of the previous builds had an issue where it wouldn't work at all (A black flashing screen) if you had a XInput device plugged in. It resolved and works fine once removed.

I came off that when it reached RTM, so creating the media now via the laptop hopefully that will either let me do a repair or reinstall and hopefully my SDD hasn't gone pear shaped.

Ah, hopefully you can rescue things. Windows 10 seems to have worse disaster management than older versions. The ability to get straight into Windows Repair (Which does kick in without needing media to do so but only if a boot fails entirely) would be nice.

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/boot-windows-10-safe-mode/

I know you can't do it now, but look at Method Two at this link. You can re-enable the ability to hit F8 upon boot to get into the startup menu, saving the need in future to get another USB disk etc to boot in situations like this.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Managed to recover it using the media stick and doing a repair which took seconds, wouldn't have been possible without the old laptop to create the installation/repair media, always have recovery media folks and don't do what i did!

Neighbour started building their extension today, now listening to a drill. Not happy at all, I'm disgusted despite there being 2 objections she was allowed permission.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Another day another (exploratory) operation on my leg. Now if only the finest minds here at Addenbrookes actually knew what the problem was they could start on a solution..... Could be in a while then

But the window view from my bed is fantastic.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

'Product Registration' - which most companies make you think it's essential to do, if you buy one of their appliances. Absolutely no need, as long as you keep proof of purchase, that is your guarantee in the event of breakdown.

No matter what brand of appliance you bought all these 'registrations' are directed to one company, Domestic and General, whose only business is selling extended guarantees. They also collect marketing details for selling to others.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

I play 8 ball pool sometimes on my mobile or tablet and what really grinds my gears is the annoying people who need to add (Hehe) as they a about to pot the black and win the game, although sometimes they can make a fool of themselves and pot the white so therefore lose the game I must admit that I'm tempted to put nice short when that happens but never do.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

I used to play it on the laptop, got annoyed with those who quit the game when I got to the black ball, I'm like why can't you suck up a loss for once?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Yea that annoys me also Mark I tend to hope they pot both the black with white which sometimes happens and then I'm like YES.
