No luck running as administrator, I did try that before along with a hard restart.
This time I completely removed the data cable from my Focusrite 6i6, before just tried it with power off along with another hard restart. The 6i6 is all I have on this pc other than my printer.
So regardless what I do it just locks up on the start up logo. I tried running it from my file explore also.
Needless to say, Im not the best with pc's.
