Windows 10 Virus Edition
I ran into some strange problems after updating my computer the other day. It was taking a long time to get to the lock screen, and when I try to type in my password for my account it comes up with an error saying it was the wrong password because it was a taking its time storing my password. So I must wait a little longer before trying logging in again. Then as soon I logged into my account I got a black screen and saw an error message saying ‘C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable.’, so I checked my SSD for data corruption and it appears that it’s in good condition.
I was unable to get access to everything, and every time I try open any program an error message pops up saying ‘An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist.’ So I tried rolling back to the previous version, but unfortunately that was a no-go. Luckily I found a perfect solution to get access is by pressing Ctrl+R to open up a Run program and type in ‘cmd.exe’ to open Command Prompt, and I used it to launch the Windows 10 Update Installer.
So now everything is up-to-date, and none of my stuff got corrupted from the update failure. 🙂
Saturday Open Thread: Drunk and Disorderly
Just after 2 AM I looked out my window and saw police car lights down the street. I went outside and saw some drunk driver being interviewed and later arrested/hauled to jail. The way he was wobbling around there was no way the cop going to let him go. That and he refused to take the sobriety test (he would’ve fallen flat on his face anyway or stuck his finger in his eye). I found out today that he was trying to evade the cops and took the corner too wide, ending up in our neighbors’ front yard head into a power pole. I decided to take a couple pics of the scene of the crime:
Don’t drink and drive, call a cab. This guy’s life is going to be all kinda fucked up right now but at least he didn’t ruin anyone else’s life.
