Application Errors after signing in

[KaelGK]

I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 running Windows 10. My screen has been slightly flickering but nothing bad ever happened because of it.

Two days ago, I tried to log in and after logging in I got a few pop-ups, all application errors such as:
IAStorIconLaunch.exe Application Error
IaCTS8SST (or something like that) Application Error
Transition.Exe application error
MBAM application error.

Avast also won't open up on my computer. I tried to do a Windows Reset but that was unsuccessful for some reason.

If anybody has any ideas or needs me to give them any other computer specifications to help solve this please let me know!!

Thanks!

The "iastoriconlaunch.exe" or Intel's "Delay Launcher" is a startup application that is part of the Intel Rapid Recovery Technology.

only search I find for 2nd is your post elsewhere
Transition.exe - this is a lenova program
MBAM.exe = Malwarebytes

common theme, they all programs that load at start up.

Malwarebytes and Avast being blocked could mean its a virus that just doesn't want them running - you might want to try another malwarescan and see if you can install and run one: http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/best-free-anti-spyware-and-anti-malware-software-1321656

we can try to fix reset or you can bite bullet and fresh install win 10

Fix Reset
right click start button
choose command prompt (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its finished, copy/paste this into same window - it has to be exact:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

SFC cleans and fixes system files, DISM cleans and fixes both the files SFC uses to compare the files, as well as fixes the image files reset uses, so if SFC didn't fix everything before, run it again and restart PC. Reset should work too.


Fresh install
Download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

After a broken reset, I would suggest a fresh install
change boot order in BIOS so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
follow this guide: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html

when you reach screen asking for licence, click "I don't have a key" and win 10 will continue to install and reactivate once finished

On the screen where you choose where to install win 10, if it gives you an error about GPT drives, delete all the partitions on the hdd and press next. If it still gives error, cancel out of the installer and restart PC and start installer again, it will accept next on that screen this time (some PC just need a restart here)
