My Laptop screen went blue and says Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart
It says We're just collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. It then says 0% complete. It has been like this for about an hour. I can't restart it. Can anyone help please?

Deleted Thank you, that worked. I had tried to restart it but that wasn't working. This did though 🙂
The laptop seems fine except that it's having trouble working out what a .docx file is. Is it likely to do this again? I just got a new laptop and have removed everything from the old one, which is the one with the blue screen error. Would a factory reset prevent this recurring?

Aug 06, 2023A new laptop requires a lot of updates - which it needs to download and install - it should be plugged in - and rebooted to install new drivers.
It's just that your way of using - (too short working time) causes the problem - but I'm just guessing 🙂
- KathyZabAug 08, 2023Copper ContributorIt's not the new laptop that had the blue screen, it's the old one that I'm busy transferring everything from. Most of my files are on the cloud so that's a big help 🙂
