Default Help Please, Personalise not running.

Windows 10 64 bit, v1803, OS build 17134.441

I haven't had cause to use Personalise for quite a while but tried to
run it today from both the drop down menu and Personalisation in
Settings.

Using the menu I get a blue screen with the white cog and from Setting
nothing, I've waited to give both a chance to sort themselves out to no
avail.

I've tried various fixes from the Web and even an fsc /scannow (no
problems) and a System Restore which didn't work.

I now admit defeat and ask any kind person to point me at a solution or
where the personalisation start up thingy is.

Thanks in advance

Mike

If you can't change the personal settings, it could mean that your windows is
not activated.

What version are you running? Run "winver" no quotes. Do you mean
right click desktop Personalize ? There is no "personalisation start up
thingy"


The menu is the right click one and Personalisation is one of the
sections in the Settings.

It's been activated for over 12 months, the Display Settings on the drop
down right click menu work perfectly.

Have you performed any of the troubleshooting routines at
Settings, Update, Troubleshooting.

I should pay specific attention to those routines Hardware and Devices.

You may also do an extensive disk check chkdsk /F /X /R from Command
Prompt (Admin )
https://www.lifewire.com/chkdsk-command-2625838

If you are losing major portions to the screens for the OS, you may need
to reset Windows 10.

While not wishing to be a wet blanket. With my last computer I was
having similar problems. I had done most of the above when I heard a
"POP" from the computer. I bought a laptop with i7 CPU, 8GB memory, 1TB
disk.

Please reformat your hard disk and start again and stop crying like a
small baby on public newsgroups.

If you can't solve anything on Windows 10 then get an Indian technician
to sort you out. They are better educated than you are and they know
more about computers than you do. They are currently running the top IT
corporations in the world.

Right click My Computer
Click properties
The activation status is on that page at the bottom.
MS had activation server issues last month that deactivated
some systems.

Mike


slmgr /dlv

and check to see if it says you're activated.

Remember that Microsoft had a server meltdown not
that long ago, that *deactivated* perfectly good
accounts.

If you're not activated, Personalize should be locked.

They've fixed the license server problem.

Find the Settings wheel dialog for "Activation". Type
"Activation" into Cortana to help you find it. click
the button.

Then go back to Personalize.

Best guess,
Paul

This will not help, but it perhaps shows the reason

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4467682

After installing this optional update some users may get a blue or black
screen with error code, "System thread exception not handled."

After installing this update some users with custom Start menu layouts may see
them displayed incorrectly.

Not on the Personalise front but I did find later that I couldn't log
into my windows Xbox so couldn't play Solitaire and Wordsmart.

A 5 day old system restore update fixed this but sadly not the original
post problem, strangely the SR claimed to have not worked but fixed the
Xbox problem.

Don't you just love Windows.

Update, if anyone is interested.

I tried everything suggested without success, yesterday I was notified
that an update to1809 was ready.

I decided to let it get on with it, one and a half hours later, despite
having a quad core CPU, 16 gig of RAM and an SSD it completed and I now
have Personalisation back.

Many thank for all who tried to help.

As for the time it took, how much of it was download time? Has your ISP
implemented "traffic management", aka as "Pay for speed." No, nit teh drug,
the bit rate.


A good proportion of it was actual installation time, a good hour plus,
download wasn't to bad over a 200 meg connection though I got nowhere
near that from the Microsoft servers.
