    [SOLVED] Lenovo Vantage would not start, just endlessly loops the logo animation

    I swear, computers are the most enigmatic things in existence because well, deleting it somehow made the app working again! Thank you! And rather expectedly, the error ended once I deleted the file as well.

    [SOLVED] Lenovo Vantage would not start, just endlessly loops the logo animation

    Another update: I reinstalled windows (without deleting anything), and nope, still doesn't work.

    [SOLVED] Lenovo Vantage would not start, just endlessly loops the logo animation

    Yeah, I doubt the whole interactive services thing has to do with the problem, considering how it's been working perfectly well out of the box.

    [SOLVED] Lenovo Vantage would not start, just endlessly loops the logo animation

    Nope, didn't work. Commercial Vantage didn't work either, as it requires a Think series machine. However, what I found is that the errors (the interactive services and stopped suddenly ones) popped up right after install.

    [SOLVED] Lenovo Vantage would not start, just endlessly loops the logo animation

    Here's what disk cleanup came up with: (not pictured: 91.2kb of diagnostic files) Meanwhile, I've gone ahead and set that registry key to 0. However, that service just... doesn't exist anymore. It got axed outright. I think I'll go ahead and try reinstalling Vantage one more time. See what it...

    24.9 gigs out of 119. I'd say that's a decent bit of wiggle room. as for disk cleanup, there's 683 megs of delivery optimization files, but nothing out of the ordinary...

    [SOLVED] Lenovo Vantage would not start, just endlessly loops the logo animation

    Reliability History doesn't find anything out of line, nor catch the errors I mentioned. The C drive currently has 29 gigs left, so it can't be that, nor misconfigured. I checked the update history and found a .NET update that failed to install so I went ahead and installed it. Still no dice.

    [SOLVED] Lenovo Vantage would not start, just endlessly loops the logo animation

    Second update: I clicked on the Applications tab to be greeted with this. "taskhostw (26044,R,98) WebCacheLocal: Unable to create a new logfile because the database cannot write to the log drive. The drive may be read-only, out of disk space, misconfigured, or corrupted. Error -1032."...

    [SOLVED] Lenovo Vantage would not start, just endlessly loops the logo animation

    I downloaded it from the Windows Store, as there seems to be no other source. And yes, the loop is the Vantage app itself. As for the Event Viewer... "The LenovoVantageService service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s)." And also: "The LenovoVantageService service is marked as...

    [SOLVED] Lenovo Vantage would not start, just endlessly loops the logo animation

    This problem has been going on for a couple weeks now, with no solution in sight. I've tried reinstalling it (including the service) multiple times to no avail. I mostly need the software for the Conservation Mode, and without the app it isn't working at all. For reference my laptop in question...

    Question I can't remove Gaming Services ?

    Phantasy Star Online 2. For some reason, when I reinstalled it the Xbox login prompt no longer appears. I followed a couple guides and seems like I screwed things up even more.

    Question I can't remove Gaming Services ?

    First I noticed that I can't install a certain game from either the Windows Store nor Xbox (the latter spitting out 0x000000001.) Then I deleted the GamingServices and GamingServicesNet registry keys as people instructed and reinstalled Gaming Services. Still doesn't work. The problem now is...

    Question Artifacting on Dell Vostro V130

    First gen i5, 4 gigs of RAM and Windows 10 1903 I think. Dust and debris might not be an issue since I just got it cleaned and reapplied thermal paste a month ago.

    Question Artifacting on Dell Vostro V130

    This laptop is most likely around 8 to 9 years old now. It used to be my father's work laptop until it got handed down to me. And just yesterday I noticed that Youtube videos started to show large amounts of artifacting. I checked and offline videos also get affected. The first time it...

    Question Relentless ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY bluescreens after Windows reinstall

    DDU'd it and reinstalled drivers. Seems fine thus far? Will still have to see.
