Hi everyone. I'm new to windows 8. It's running on a Compaq laptop and it's being running ok for a few days.
Once I login into windows it jumps to the start screen with apps then goes to the desktop (but you only see the taskbar) and back to the start screen again. It's does this every second. I can bring up task manager and tried a few things which was a pain because its still loops but with patience I managed a few troubleshooting.
Here's what I tried so far:
- System Restore (from cmd.exe) - it restored system but it still does the same thing
- Advanced Boot Option - keep getting error in cmd (The boot configuration data store could not be opened. Access Denied.)
- If I stop the Windows Explorer task the loop stops but once I start it again it loops again.
I can backup all my documents and just reinstall but do you guys know of anything else I could try to get it working again?
Thank you for any help!
