In the last week or 2, my daughter's computer has been extremely slow to shutdown when you click start, then shutdown. Additionally, and more importantly, I tried to download and install the windows update 2026-03 this morning and it has gotten stuck after a restart or when you try to turn on...

If I remember correctly, I initially tried Brink's guide to revert back to the old context menu and get rid of the "show more options" section and it wouldn't work on my machine. This was months ago and I can't remember why it didn't work or where I got this batch file. Here it is attached.

So I started using windows 11 recently, didn't like the right click context menu and went and found a batch file (i think it's called that) that restores the old context menu the way it was in Windows 10. I am interested in trying out the new one further and I am unsure how to restore the...

Ok, so all drive scans seem to be healthy. The Samsung Magician wasn't able to do much because it said "drive is not supported." The machine has not rebooted or BSODd at all today. I'm going to install a game or 2 for my son and let him try to play and see if it actually works this time...

So, good news, Memtest86+ found a couple errors. I have swapped to a different kit of RAM I got from a local store. The system seems way more stable overall. I've been on the desktop and I'm currently running the hard drive tests you asked for (Seatools, HD tune, HD sentinel). I ran a quick...

Ok, yea I'm getting all the basic programs, graphics drivers, chipset drivers, and system changes installed and implemented. It's still already BSODd twice during the login screen (i enable auto login because it's on my kids computer) but then restarts and logs in fine. I'm going to run those...

So for whatever reason, this morning, I can't even get the machine to startup safely to the desktop. It gets to the desktop for all of about 5 seconds and BSODs every time. It'll boot into safemode eventually and I've tried every restore or repair option in that menu. It will not boot stably to...

Ok, got it. I'm learning all the terminology here and how to use it, lol Also, the machine has had a lot of BSODs today, namely when my son tried to launch Fortnite. Not sure if that means anything to this process. I updated the Nvidia graphics driver to the latest version with a clean install...

Thanks zbook for your replies and your help! I'm not sure what you mean by "post a share link" but here's the txt files from the DISM scan and the Tuneup plus again. *edit* I think I get what you mean. The DISM file is too large to include. let me know if this link doesn't work...

Fair point, that reminds me that I actually did reseat the ram while I was reseating the drive.

Here is the HD Sentinel results

Ok, Step 1 was pretty confusing. I got the "tuneup" file, not sure what else you wanted. I completed the other steps 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Attaching the pics/docs and going to run step 8. Sorry this took so long. Life happens and the computer started running just fine for a while. I'm finally...

I just built my son's computer literally yesterday. The specs are what are listed in my "specs." Windows 11 home version 24H2. Ryzen 5 5600X ASUS TUF Gaming B550 Plus WI-FI II MSI Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 G.Skill 2x16 32 gigs ram, DDR4 3600, 18-22-22-22-42 Hyper 212 Black WD 2TB NVME drive...
