UPDATE 2: So I just learned that the "critical problem" thing also happens when my computer comes out of sleep mode.Įdited by Softfang, 29 April 2018 - 11:23 AM. I tried again in Safe Mode, and it didn't work. UPDATE 1: I tried to start the Windows Eventlog service and the "Windows encountered a critical problem" message came up. I'm sick of this and it's stressing me out. I really don't want to have to reformat- but it looks like that's my only option left. I close it out and my computer seems to work fine regardless, but still it worries me that somehow it could be related to all this happening now. I had one from the 14th, but when I tried restoring it to that point, it ended up failing "due to a file."Īnother issue that's been around for much, much longer than this one (a year or two now?), is that whenever my computer starts up after I sign in, a blank untitled Notepad opens up with the error box that reads "access denied". Also my system restore points are all gone. I've also tried F9 to see the mysterious "Repair computer" or whatever option that's supposed to be there, but I never found it. I've tried sfc /scannow and chkdsk as well. I've tried running defrag too and it just doesn't open/work for some reason. And none of them found anything that fixed these problems. Malwarebytes (before my sub ran out- waiting for my boyfriend to get paid and renew it again since he bought the sub for me), Avast, Adw (Malwarebytes extra?), MalwareFox, HijackThis, Security Essentials, Spybot, CCCleaner.
I've tried MULTIPLE scans, and even 5 different Windows techs (using that Remote support thing where they take over my PC and try and do things to fix it). And sometimes trying to reopen them, they'll just close out before they can load back up.
And randomly, my browser (I use Chrome and Firefox) and Discord instant messenger will just. SAVE YOUR WORK NOW."Īside from this, my computer runs slower than it should, browser too. I don't know how long it's been going on for now, but I've been dealing with this incredibly annoying issue where I'll be running my computer just fine, but at certain times (Opening task manager, trying to download a file, watching videos, browsing websites (it actually happened just now when I tried to click open an old forum post I'd made here after coming back to my account since 2014), or really anything else maybe triggers it, I don't know for sure, it'll show a "WINDOWS HAS ENCOUNTERED A CRITICAL PROBLEM AND WILL RESTART IN ONE MINUTE. 1TB HD (replaced the old one a few years ago)
