Windows and wont break

Windows 10 updates are just out of control. I could not get either OS running after this either. Seems like it's fatally broken. I pulled the drive for later analysis.

The background article is nice, but I think the bcdedit reference should also be linked here, and unfortunately it doesn't go into the path variable much. Non-tempered glass is most often encountered in ordinary residential windows, whether jalousie, casement, Miami-style, single or double-hung.

Older sliding glass doors and older storefront windows were also made from non-tempered glass. Large windows made of non-tempered glass can cause severe lacerations and even kill you when shattered. These break into large, heavy, sharp shards. When these come crashing down a single piece can slice your arm, face or leg open. In the wrong place, you could bleed out before paramedics got to you.

This is another reason why you should carry a tourniquet on your person. I once worked for a window company and all of us dreaded replacing large non-tempered glass. It is extremely dangerous to work with. Skylights and some commercial storefront doors and windows are constructed with laminated glass.

As with car windshields, these are tough to defeat also. Another type of laminated glass is wire glass. If you are unsure of the type of glass you are about to break and have time, wear gloves, eyewear, and protective gear. If you have to break out a large window in an older structure, I would not break it at the bottom.

If it is non-tempered glass, it will rain down heavy fragments that will injure you badly. The safest place to strike large glass is near an upper corner, while you are standing as far to the side of the window as you can. Once the glass is broken, use a longer item, like your baton or a long-handled tool, to clear the glass from the opening.

Pay particular attention to clearing out the glass above you. Breaking tempered glass in a residence is the same as with a car window. You can use a punch and attack a lower corner.

Just make sure you are certain it is tempered glass. Many things can be used to break non-tempered glass. Your baton is an obvious choice, but it also puts you closer to the danger than a shovel or SWAT tool might. Do your best to respect the glass and use as much safety gear as you have available.

This is where the Ares cut resistant gloves we reviewed can come in handy. Make sure you read our Glass Breaking Tools for Police article for a look at some of the best window punches and other tools for defeating glass barriers.

This will bring up a dialog box. In the text field of the box, type tpm. Click Status. At this point, there are several reasons you might be receiving the wrong error message from Microsoft, so your best bet is to get a professional to take a look at your machine. If you don't see that message, and instead see "Compatible TPM cannot be found" or another message indicating the TPM may be disabled, follow the next steps.

We'll cover both here. The first is for much newer PCs, the second method for those a few years older.

Regardless of which you choose, though, you're going to need to restart your machine. So save any work and close any open windows or programs before proceeding. If you have a newer machine running Windows 10, your boot time may be too fast for you to try the traditional method of hitting a particular key to get to your BIOS menu before Windows can fully load. Here's how to get to it from inside your normal desktop.

Start your computer normally and open the Start menu by clicking on that Windows button on the far left bottom of your screen. Click on the gear-shaped Settings icon on the left side of the menu.

On the left-side pane that appears, click Recovery. Under the Advanced startup header, click Restart now. Your computer will immediately restart, and instead of restarting and bringing you to your normal desktop screen, you'll be brought to a blue screen with a few options. You're going to need to move very quickly for Step 1. You'll only have a few seconds to get into the BIOS before your operating system loads. If you miss your window, no harm done, you'll just have to restart the computer and try again.

After Step 1, though, feel free to take your sweet time. Restart your computer, and as it's booting up you should see a message telling you to press a certain key to enter the BIOS, whether it uses that word or another. On most Dells, for instance, you should see "Press F2 to enter Setup. Depending on what kind of computer you have, a different key may be needed to enter your Setup menu. If there's no message on the screen with instructions, the general rule is to hit the key when you see the manufacturer's logo but before Windows loads.

To find out which key will get you in, search online for your laptop's make and model along with the phrase "BIOS key. Using your keyboard, navigate to it and hit Enter.

Once you're inside the Security section, you're going to be looking for the TPM settings. Warning: Stay alert here. Within most TPM settings menus, you generally have an option to clear your TPM, update it or restore it to factory default.

Do not do that right now. This action can not be undone or reversed. You're not touching anything else. Look through the options inside this menu for one that shows some form of toggle or switch beside the word "Enable" or "Unavailable" or even just "Off.
