Instant Sheller, black screen, can't undo

[dbzap19]

I installed Instant Sheller 2.01 on Windows 10. I checked my Bios settings and no secure boot setting found. My GameEx folder is on a separate drive (E:), than my Windows drive (C:). Set up Instant sheller to GameEx shortcut path. Computer booted up and went to black screen and I cannot return to Windows desktop or undo Sheller. How do I undo setup so I can reinstall to make the program work properly?

Knowing a bit more about your system (What Windows version is installed, etc) may also help. Were you able to CTRL+ALT+DEL to get to Task Manager and attempt to End Task Instant Sheller?

One of these threads may be of help:

Let us know your results.

The PC has Windows 10 Pro with the latest updates. I tried Crl-Alt-Del and it indicates that no apps are running with the black screen in the background. I tried the Alt-N and no response either. I tabbed to the Details drop down and it does not do anything.

When the machine is booting up keep pressing the u key on the keyboard. Assuming you left most of the default options in instant sheller that will allow you to undo and reboot.

I reset Windows to get back to the desktop. I am running an original full version of GameEx that has been updated. I am going to setup the GameEx Arcade version and then run the Sheller with it. As troubleshoot, would it be best to keep GameEx and the Sheller program on the same drive or does that matter? I am trying to avoid this issue again. I was not able to locate the SecureBoot setting to disable in my PC's bios. 

I disabled GameEx in the Startup folder. Not sure if that would conflict with sheller or not.

The GameEx Arcade is more advanced than the older full version that I started with 10 years ago. So I am assigning the paths again and updated emulators, etc. As I am setting this up, please advise on any settings that will make my setup more efficient to work with Instant Sheller. I want this cabinet to boot straight to GameEx to give it a more Arcade feel.

 

Thank you for your help.
