Win 10 had been working great for about a week. I had it set so that no password was required.

This morning for some reason the computer had rebooted and now a password was required. I was able to check if any updates were done and there weren't any.

The problem was that the desktop was blinking on and off. If I opened an app. say Excel, the app didn't blink but the desktop continued to blink.

I went into safe mode. I googled the problem and others have it but there didn't seem to be any one solution.

I rolled back to Win 7 using an image I had made with Macrium.

Good move...
I'm waiting until much later to upgrade my Win7 machines...maybe never!

You also might have gotten an update for your anti-virus program or your video card which required the machine to reboot to install the link into the boot directory and boot log. Not all updates come from Microsoft, so you can just reboot the machine to resolve most problems like this. Doing a simple "RESTART" will do the trick in most cases..

BTW, I'm still searching for a good book on WIN10 but it seems it will take another few months to get anything descent published and available for distribution or sale. When I find one though, I'll post the info here on UHH. Typically, Amazon has these books almost immediately after they come off the presses.

Reboot did not solve the problem.

Wait until we will be forced to use the "cloud" only. 😏
