So yesterday my 2 month old computer did some updates, when I shut down there was the usual prompt to 'update and shut down' or 'updated and restart'
So I restarted to make sure everything was hunky dory... they weren't!!! At the login screen, I usually hit return to bring up the login (roll up the picture) nothing happened, I had to move my mouse and click, before I could put my password in... When in Windows, I went to search somthing... The search bar came up, but I couldn't type into it, Opened the settings menu tried to search in there, nope no typing, opened Windows store, tried searching... Nope no typing there either!!
I then noticed my fans were louder than normal, checked the taskbar to find the ASRock tuning utility wasn't running, so I started it from the start menu, and the fans quietened down. Checked the 'Autorun with Windows' tick box (it was already ticked!!) Thought I'd reboot to see if this persisted..
Yep! on Reboot, No typing in ANY search bars associated with Windows 10, and neither of my ASRock utilities (fan tuning or store) were running (amongst others!!)
Is there an easy fix for these sort of problems!? I'm at my whits end, googling various solutions, none of which seem to work, or sound plausible!!
ASRock X570 Pro4,
AMD Ryzen 5 3400G,
32Gb DDR4 RAM,
512 Nvme SSD.
Windows 10 Home (1909)
Thanks guys. I don't want to have to re-install Windows. Though I am considering Linux if this sort of rubbish beta testing is slipping through again!!!
