Windows 10 Creators Update too will install unwanted Store Apps ! :(

Windows 10 Creators update, scheduled for April release has got some additional changes 

happening right now and then, Microsoft is releasing new features to insiders every week in 

the name of windows 10 insider preview builds, recently it released windows 10 insider 

preview 15042 for PC users, this build has not got many features added unlike previous 

insider builds, they had only fixed some bugs.  

I had upgraded my PC to windows 10 insider preview 15042, but after some time, My PC 

got some bugs so i went to reinstall windows 10 insider preview 15042 again . I booted the 

ISO and installed Windows 10 creators update preview build 15042 successfully on my PC. 

But after installation i was shocked to see unwanted store apps again even though i hadn't 

logged in using Microsoft Account.




The apps installed on My PC were found to be Adobe Photoshop Express, Code Writer, 

Pandora and sway. 

There were some other apps, that were on the line to get installed on my PC consuming my 

bandwidth badly 😢😢.

I think this build with other existing bugs fixed will be released to Windows 10 users as 

windows 10 creators update, because Microsoft had finished adding  and tinkering features. 

There is also a high chance, because this insider preview build 15042 doesn't have 

expiration date set, which is quite uncommon.

Whatever it may, it would be better, if Microsoft stops installing such unwanted apps to 

users at least in Windows 10 Creators update because, we paid to own our PC ourselves, 

not you Microsoft...! (in the form of unwanted apps )

ESRV_SVC_QUEENCREEK cannot be found in Windows 10 [Solved]

The description for Event ID 2 from source ESRV_SVC_QUEENCREEK cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event: Error [5]: [Unable To Open Device.][0x0].

The above is the error that was retrieved from event viewer in my friend's PC. When we 
checked for system changes, there was nothing much change expect a driver update. As a regular approach we tried running sfc and chkdsk and also system restore everything failed. 


We are helpless, as we can't find the error even online. So we decided to check for every possible changes, before trying to re install windows 10. As we checked, there was a driver update from INTEL and its for energy saver or something related to it, we really don't know what it was..

So, we tried to roll back that driver, but it failed. ESRV_SVC_QUEENCREEK cannot be 
found error still resides.




At that time, we don't know how to fix it, but a crazy idea of us, solved our problem.

What we did ??

We just stopped the ESRV_SVC_QUEENCREEK service after that our PC worked fine..

How to do on our PC?

Just follow the below steps..

1) Press Windows + R Keys of your keyboard, 

2) Type services.msc

3) Hit enter.

4) Now, scroll down and right click on the ESRV_SVC_QUEENCREEK service and select properties.

5) Click on Stop.



6) On the startup type, select Disabled.

7) Click on Apply -> OK.

8) Restart your PC.

(Or) 

9) Open powershell as administrator

10) Type the following command and hit enter.

stop-service ESRV_SVC_QUEENCREEK

Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -filter "name='ESRV_SVC_QUEENCREEK'".Delete()

Alternative command, you can try for step 10,

sc.exe delete "ESRV_SVC_QUEENCREEK"

Now, restart your PC, you will see it fixed.

Enjoy.!

Windows 10 System Restore failed with error code 0x80070091 [Solution]

Microsoft is trying to fix windows 10 since long time, even though most of them are fixed 

and are served through windows insider preview builds  , Some fixes are causing side 

effects on user's PC. 

One of the issue that i faced today on my friend's PC is, his system restore failed. We are in 

a situation of reinstalling windows 10. But we thought of trying system restore using system 

restore point created a long ago. Luckily, there was a restore point that was created a 

month ago. We tried to restore using that point, it went good, but after some time a popup 

box appeared in front of us stating "System restore did not complete successfully, Your 

system files and settings are not changed" claiming that the error happened at 

%ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps, an unspecified error occurred during System restore . (0x80070091) 

We fixed the error using a simple method, so i like to share the steps here, if you had faced 

with such an error, then i hope my crazy fix may work for you too.


Windows 10 System Restore failed with error code 0x80070091 [Solution]


Understanding the problem....

I thought there  may be a possible corrupt in that windows apps directory. so i thought of 

renaming the folder which may make windows believe that there is no such folder, so that it 

can re create it or skip that part.

OK, here is How i fixed...

How to fix Windows 10 System Restore failed with error code 0x80070091

1) You may be prompted to choose a system restore point in your PC right ?? ( System 

restore , system image recovery,etc on advanced options), so simply 

click on browse. and navigate to C:\ProgramFiles folder.

2) Make sure your hidden items box is checked, because WindowsApps folder is hidden by 

default.

[Helpful link : How to show hidden files in windows 10]

3) Click on the item and Press F2 Key on your Keyboard...

4) Rename the folder to any name, for example : like windowsexploredforu

5) Press Enter key, so that it saves the file name..

6) Restart your PC and 

 try your system restore again, it will work now..

This may sound crazy but its the solution that worked for me..

Enjoy.
