Window 11 blue screens within 1 min or so of startup #3161

Closed hoylegj closed 3 weeks ago

hoylegj commented 3 weeks ago

Version 22641.3296.64.3 and 64.1 Win 23H2 22631.3447

I moved the task bar to the left, all was fine A few days later I put in back to the bottom, my blue screen started. I moved it back to the Left, still blue screened Uninstalled, still blue screened Cleared out reg, still blue screened Reinstalled, still blue screened Started safe mode, no problem

Is there a script to restore the reg back to standard?
Are there files that need deleting? after he uninstall? Blue screen between 30-90seconds.

regards Geoff.

if you disabled tabs in windows file explorer, you must re-enable them, otherwise you will have crashes:

vivetool /reset /id:37634385

reboot

vivetool /disable /id:37634385

vivetool /enable /id:37634385

reboot

this is not a bug with EP

hoylegj commented 3 weeks ago

thanks for your response.

I've looked everywhere and can not see how to disable or enable explorer tab.

File tabs are working. !!

So still looks like a bug

many thanks for your help

pyrates999 commented 3 weeks ago

Did you try those commands anyways? EP was disabling tabs in an earlier release.

You can also try in EP properties application, click on file explorer, untick register as shell extension and click restart file explorer in the bottom left corner.

hoylegj commented 3 weeks ago

Thanks, I just tried the commands above, had to install and run them in safe mode as I do not get a chance before it crashes in normal mode.

No joy still crashed 30 seconds after restart, safe mode still works

regards Geoff.

Does uninstalling EP fix it?

hoylegj commented 3 weeks ago

No, I assume it's changed something in registry and that does not get reset on uninstall

pyrates999 commented 3 weeks ago

what about if you create a new local user? That shouldn't have any changes done to the registry.

hoylegj commented 3 weeks ago

Good idea, let me try that.

Amrsatrio commented 3 weeks ago

This doesn't seem like something that EP causes to your system... perhaps there's a hardware problem that blue screens during CPU load spikes. Are you running on a custom built PC, prebuilt PC, or a laptop by the way?

hoylegj commented 3 weeks ago

Nope, just the same arrr

hoylegj commented 3 weeks ago

Think I'm ready to blow windows11 away and go back to 10 ;-)

hoylegj commented 3 weeks ago

Thanks all, it's strange I grant you, nothing was installed after apart from the standard Microsoft patches and the issue started after moving the bar back to standard, but I accept it could be something else. I will look through the event logs before I blow it all away. Can't say I like windows 11 and will probably go back to windows 10 until 11 has the functionality I need. I've been in I.T. For 30 years as a developer and DBA so I will have a poke around. It's a test machine so not to much of an issue. Be nice to understand it issue though.

Regards Geoff

One more thing you can try is on the user you normally use, in the EP properties application, go to About and click on Restore default settings. Then reboot.

Amrsatrio commented 3 weeks ago

Yeah I believe it's a coincidence and not an issue within EP itself. Feel free to reopen if you have ascertained that this issue happens only when EP is installed.
