Windows 8.1 glitch

[Mouse droidz 21]

Today my windows 8.1 experienced the same problem except I didn't get a virus, my computer was in full black. It seems to be either Microsoft or someone has hacked into Microsoft today, I fixed the issue by refreshing my computer. Even though most software that I had installed was gone, all folders where still restored.

pop the cd in and run windows repair. looks like the installation didn't even finish.

i had a problem like this but a little different

if you want to boot into a disc you have to change the directory to what it boots into from bios, if it loads up, but you dont have a resque disc, soo...

This could actually be the problem.

Apparently Windows.UI.Immersive is just corrupt.

Whatevers on it can still migrate from the HDD to the other one.

unless he runs an exe or the virus integrated into the mbr or some ridiculous stuff then no it's not. even if it did you can get an antivirus on the 2nd pc, plug it in, and it'll stop it if it does

this is correct, such viruses as mbr ransomware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MkwiJ_rZh4 (the url was taken down years ago so dont stuff yourself) and such do this
its a really tricky process because after that your master boot record is forgeted unless you rewrite it or something
