[QUOTE="hjlbx, post: 495129"] SD can have corrupted installation. It happens. If desktop, unplug then replug and try to restart. If laptop, remove battery, wait a few minutes, use AC adapter and then try to restart. If does not fix, you can enter Safe Mode and uninstall SD. A standard thing to do is to run sfc /scannow from an Admin command line console to verify the OS file integrity. If that doesn't work you might have to clean install Windows from recovery media or backup image. NOTE: I, as well as many others use SD on W10 without issue. I am not saying you're not experiencing a problem - I am just pointing out that there are many of us that use SD on W10. So I am not diminishing what you are reporting and I personally think it is unfortunate mess. Somehow the installation went awry or the reboot didn't rebuild the system properly after Shadow Mode. It is rare, but it does happen. Fixing such things is almost always a trial-and-error process. [/QUOTE]
