Was this presented as a clue here before though? Or am I just getting deja vu...
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

Hmm. There's nothing in the rules, but I think you are right - I'll have to declare this one "null and void" and repost another.
Here's hoping you get it again...

Oh bugger! Yes, I just checked my list and I did indeed ... I must have copied instead of cut when I posted it - I keep a small stock of pre-worked out clues for when I win one, so I don't have to rush on the day.

Well done! Slightly too late, but you get an upvote for supplying the solution as well.

You have been caught. I guess you will come up with a new one.

This is something like the 4th time I've rebooted tonight.
First time, tried to unlock my computer and it wouldn't stop showing the login screen.
Nothing. Power off.
2nd time, tried to start Chrome. 100% disk utilization. Nothing. Powered off.
3rd time, 100% disk utilization. nothing. powered off.
4th time, tried to start Chrome again. Nothing. Powered off.
I'm using MS Edge to post this. Is there a MS Update going on? Can't tell.
Just more Win10 shenanigans I guess.
Edit
I attempted to start Chrome again and disk (HDD) went to 100% and at that point I cannot regain control of the machine again. Had to power down and restart.
Also, earlier I was able to just barely get to TaskList but I couldn't kill Chrome.
Edit 2 (2017.03.03)
I found this report from someone else. Same experience I'm having:
Light XPressions said: I kind of have the same problem since today My google wont start properly it just freezes my whole computer it takes forever so I ended up crashing the computer I uninstalled twice does not help I am using windows 10 too.
Google Groups: Chrome wont' start[^]

Yeah, it's true.
I've checked fragmentation on my disk. No problems there.
I even ran c:\>chkdsk all good on that front.
I've downloaded Kaspersky virus trial since machine is acting so odd.
Scanning now, but I really don't think that is it either.
Well, unless Win10 _is_ a virus.

By now I thought this was established fact or at the minimal for it to be considered malware. 
There are good things about it, several even yet I still hold off on upgrading because I have enough trouble with w10 at work.

mate, I was going to say 'you're special'  but no, we all know the myriad of hardware, drivers etc that can cause issues like this
- It would be interesting I guess to ascertain what % of people with issues are new installs running on new virgin purpose hardware for example vs upgrades etc

I'm on hardware made for Windows 7, a Lenovo T520i. Upgrading to Windows 10 was no problem, and Windows 10 upgrades have been no problem. Windows now even has generic drivers for the laptop's features that do a better job than its own.

ok, then maybe its 'luck'
have a good weekend mate

My problem was with the Anniversary Update, that every day for six months tried to install itself.
Every day it failed and rolled back - a process that took about an hour.
Even worse, it removed my Shutdown and Restart options, replacing them with 'Update and Shutdown' and 'Update and Restart'.
I'm surprised it didn't replace Sleep with 'Update and Sleep'.
So any reboot was taking an hour.
Then, mysteriously, last week when I was on the point of formatting the drive, it succeeded.
The machine started off as Win8, then went Win8Pro -> Win8.1Pro -> Win10Pro, so was probably a more difficult update than most.
Even so, it was a complete PITA, but now seems OK.

Same here with a certain security update, but it failed after 5 minutes, paused for 5 minutes and tried again. I have disabled some services to prevent auto updates completly. But after reading your post, I guess I will give it a try again.
Wish me luck ...

I have happily avoided it without problems since its release.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

That's very simple. I had installed Win7 when the whole updating circus began. It told me that I would get no forced updates unless I activate windows. So I did not activate it.

Ah, the memories! My first laptop came with ME. It would blue screen 2 or 3 times a day, especially when working in Visual Studio 6. It taught me to code in short bursts and save frequently! Finally, a friend introduced me to W2K and the nightmares were over. I liked W2K so much that I mostly skipped XP.
