Windows

A fix for Windbg - Failed to connect to server. Error: 0x8007043C when installing.

Make sure you install the WinDbg on Normal mode and not on Safe Mode.

Windows 10 Home would not map or access network shared drive or running Netlogon script. It comes up an error 0x80004005.

Solution: Add a Windows Credential of that network you were trying to access.

Windows 10 Symptoms:

• Start menu when left click is not showing
• Mouse cursor keeps spinning
• Takes too long to restart and shutdown
• Black screen after logging into Windows 10
• On Safe mode - everything is behaving normally

I ran into a BSOD 0x71 Session5_Initialization_Failed error after transferring a hard drive from Dell DCNE to another desktop Acer Veriton T661.

It also shows check disk then the BSOD 0x71. When I try the safe mode, the last driver showing would be mup.sys before it does an automatic restart.

The motherboard on the Dell desktop died hence I need to transfer the hard drive, this is for the client with limited budget.

Running the following will NOT fix the above BSOD as it already passed the MBR.

• chkdsk /r
• fixmbr
• fixboot c:

The only solution that works for me is to copy a backup registry hive from C:\Windows\Repair\ folder.
