I wonder if anyone could please advise .. Yesterday my Laptop decided to no longer cooperate !..
After using it (writing a presentation, whilst streaming music), it was shutdown. A few hours later, I restarted it, only for it to fail to start with a blue screen.
The blue screen continued to loop, and even booting to safe mode or attempting to roll back to a previous restore point failed, and the laptop halted.
I was able to restore from my USB boot Win10 media, and attempted to fix the system.
After re-installation of Windows, things weren't happening.. XTU3SERVICE was giving a .NET error on login, and the keyboard colour control app was no longer available.
I attempted to reinstall the drivers from Downloads, but couldnt get rid of the error. Finally tracked down the Extreme Tuning Facility and installed that, the error went away, but the Laptop hung...
Ive taken the decision to completely wipe and re-install Windows / MS Office, VPN, Anti-Virus Software.
Everything is stable and fully patched, but im yet to start to install the Laptop Specific Drivers and Utilities for my Laptop... This is what im a little concerned about doing.
