Hi I purchased Alcohol 120 because i used the trial during my windows 7 days and since you stated that product is compatible with Windows 10, I skipped the trial version. unfortunately your latest version is broken. Per your support team, i am not the only one and you don't know how to fix it. so i paid $50.00 for a lifetime upgrade for a product that doesn't work. is there a way to request a refund?

 

thank you

I have been a happy user for years.

 

I had Alcohol 120 running on my Asus Xenbook (model 501 UX) for about 4 years... Originally Windows 8.1, but upgraded to Windows 10 with no problems.

 

I bought a new Asus (Asus ROG GL502VS)...removed my license from the Xen (through the website)

 

Downloaded Alcohol 120 onto the ROG  started the install. It rebooted the computer, as is normal, Then Blue Screen. 

 

The ROG will not load any more... It is patched and current Windows 10 Home. There is a Current installation of Avast Pro. on the ROG, but other than that... it is completely new. 

 

Any help or suggestions?

This is apparently happening on systems that had older Alcohol version installed and then applied some Windows updates. Currently we are still not able to reproduce it on our test systems and we don't know how you may fix it but from the reports of other users that experienced this I can tell you that doing a Windows reset you should fix the problem and then be able to install Alcohol. It appears to be related to the Windows Anniversary update and as mentioned above is being looked into.

 

Please try the above or wait for a new version that will probably fix the problem.

You can also register in the forum and have access to the support forum section for the purchased users.

You mean two licenses. :)

You mean that the previous version worked and the latest one doesn't (on the same Windows 10(?) build)?

Latest version doesn't solve the problem. I will wait for a new version, hoping that it arrives asap.

If the problem has to do with SPTD 2.11 we must wait until DuplexSecure releases a new version of SPTD to fix the problem.

We have been trying to isolate this problem and we found that most of the users experiencing have systems with NVMe storage devices as boot device. Also it apparently only happens with the latest SPTD version. One system known to be affected is Surface Pro 4, our development team will soon get one for testing and trying to fix it.

 

In the mean time you may try to downgrade to an older Alcohol version.

Yes, it should work :)  But not so easy... because as soon as you install latest Alcohol you get unbootable system :(

I have the same problem. My laptop doesn't even boot into safe mode so I don't know what to do. I can't access my computer. Any solutions?

You need to recover Windows to a working restore point. Then don't reinstall the latest Alcohol version until we release a new version that fixes this problem.

The problem seems to be Windows trying to boot into a drive other than the c: drive. It's not hard to guess that it thinks that the virtual drive of alcohol/sptd is the bootable one as this is caused by alcohol120. If someone can describe how to point c: drive as bootable using the command line of recovery I might be able to rescue without any cost
