Windows 10 stuck on lock screen install#

I have Windows 10 installed on a system older than that (Dell Optiplex 320) and it runs great. If it runs Windows Seven just fine, it should run 10 as well, and just because it doesn't have drivers specifically written for 10 doesn't mean it's not compatible. I don't think your CPU or pc in general is too old for Windows 10.

Reboot your PC and install USB or chipset drivers that came with your system (on the supplied CD or from the manufacturer's website) to restore functionality to your usb controllers and devices. You can temporarily hide that particular update to prevent it from being re-installed, but if a newer version of the drivers are available in Windows Update, they will be automatically installed with the chance of your devices getting broken again! In order to hide the update, you'll need to download the wushowhide.diagcab troubleshooter and run it. This is hardly a permanent solution since it doesn't stop the update from being reinstalled as soon as you're back online. Search 'view installed updates' and browse the list to identify which update to uninstall. In addition to changing device installation settings, you should uninstall whatever drivers were installed by Windows Update. Note that device installation settings do not affect Windows Update, they only affect installation of drivers when a new device is detected or when manually updating device drivers from Device Manager. Three more options will appear below it, so make sure to select 'Never install driver software from Windows Update'. Search for 'change device installation settings' and select the second option on the dialog that opens. Check the option to delete software for them (use spacebar to tick/untick checkboxes, similar to mouse clicks).īefore you restart your PC, you might wanna disable automatic installation of drivers from Windows Update.

Open Device Manager (navigate using your PS2 keyboard) and uninstall ALL USB controllers with yellow exclamation marks. I believe drivers were automatically delivered and installed via Windows Update, something you do not have much control over, thanks to Windows 10's mandatory updates.
