Double-Restart question... then unable to restart
« on: May 02, 2020, 03:54:02 pm »
After a clean format/reinstall of windows and a new installation of GSX, the end of the installation always asks to reboot the computer. However there seems to always be a hidden second GSX install, which is waiting to ask the same question. If you answer "yes, reboot now" the system will go to a blue screen that says "cannot restart, following program is preventing restart.... GSX install"... If you go back and close it, now the system hangs, and the only way to restart is to press the computer's reset button. Will I damage the install by doing this?

Don't reply YES and reboot manually after the installer closed.

The suggestion to reboot is not coming from our installer, it must be coming from the MS Visual C++ redistributable installers, which sometimes require a reboot to work.
