Hi Jörg, I like to fix this from the command line. My method is as follows (please note that commands should always be typed without the surrounding quotes):

1. Prepare a Windows 10 32-bit USB installation drive using either Microsoft’s media creation tool or a pre-download ISO and Tuxboot.
2. Boot the drive created in step one, at the region settings screen press Shift and F10 (a command prompt window should appear).
3. Type “cd /d c:\” followed by enter.
4. Type “dir insyde /ad/s/b” followed by enter. You’ll get a list of places where the switcher is located.
5. For every location type “move <location> <location.old>” with double quotes around the locations. (Note, you can copy and paste to save typing).
6. Exit setup by either closing all Windows or else type “wpeutil reboot” followed by enter into the command window.

As an example this is what you might get for steps 4&5: C:\>dir insyde /ad/s/b C:\Program Files\Insyde C:\>move “C:\Program Files\Insyde” “C:\Program Files\Insyde.old” 1 dir(s) moved.

 

Many thanks for the quick response. I’ll try it.

Best regards
