Question

Windows 10 Glitch.

Jun 10, 2016 2:42AM PDT

My win 10 system has been showing various messages and suggesting "your computer ran into a problem ,we are collecting information and will restart for you." Not the exact wording but close enough.
I was advised that I should use dry compressed air can and it should solve it. I followed the advise. It did not happen for a while today it happened in the middle of my work not as usual at the start up time.
When it restarted it started as PCs start in soft mode or is it Safe Mode, Sorry about my mental confusion,
I tried to press shift key several times but the computer starts with the same mode with very large icons and every thing enlarged.
Please help.

I used the recovery drive. I assume it would have al the drivers.

I just did a full recovery yesterday and more.

I had to go get a few drivers and apps.

The apps were things like Nvidia's Geforce Experience. It didn't install from the recovery system.

By the way, since it's the last few weeks of the FREE Windows 10 upgrade, our office is going through the rest of the inventory to upgrade while we can for free so I'm getting a lot of hands on testing of recovery features. This is not one of them. That is, just like the prior 2 decades, you still have drivers and apps to find and install.

...that it's almost always an issue with drivers needing to be updated. It's a pain in the **** but that's Windows for ya. This is why I'm intent on moving to a new OS sooner than later.
