Hi guys, having some trouble here.
I cannot find a solution, I've tried everything I can think of to no avail.
One of the games I play seems to have become corrupted and caused a crash. Now it won't launch at all. That is not the main problem.
The PC refuses to uninstall it. I went through Control Panel, selected Uninstall, and it just wouldn't. It's as if I haven't even clicked the button. It doesn't do anything.
I attempted to open Apps through Windows Key - Settings - Apps, but the window closed automatically before displaying anything.
I restarted in Safe Mode to see if that revealed anything, I went to Apps again and it told me the system detected Stack-Based Buffer Overrun.
The page at The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer [FIX] suggested the following:
Solution 1 – Scan for malware
It suggests running in Safe Mode before running Windows Defender from the notifications bar, but the bar won't open in safe mode.
Solution 2 – Run SFC/DISM
It won't complete sfc /scannow, or either of the DISM/.../ScanHealth or /RestoreHealth operations
Solution 3 – Perform a clean boot sequence
As far as I can tell, it completed the clean boot, but it accomplished nothing
Solution 4 – Repair with system resourcesIt suggests either System Restore or Startup Repair. Naturally I don't have any restore points, and startup repair wouldn't work.
Solution 5 – Repair with a bootable driveThe Media Creation Tool I made only a few months ago won't run, either when I plug the USB into the computer having booted, with the error message being "A device attached to the system is not functioning"; or when I boot with the drive already in. It says to select "Startup repair" with the drive attached. I got as far as a menu showing the different hard drives and asking which one I wanted to install it in, but none of them were compatible.
Solution 6 -Reinstall Windows 10
Honestly don't know what their article is talking about. Something about Technical Preview? The first step is to Start the device in the latest Windows 10 Technical Preview build.
I also tried Resetting the PC but after about 40 minutes it said it ran into an issue and couldn't do it. I have several Windows updates queued but they won't install.
I'm honestly at my wits' end here. Everything is like hitting a brick wall.
Thanks,
Adam
