    It works. Since it's an application issue, not video, it stands to reason that at some point a portion of Windows might decide to function. After pressing ctl-alt-del you will see the list of security options, press task manager. The switch to services. My AppReadiness was already stopped. However from here you can "open services" which also works. After changing appreadiness from manual to disabled I rebooted and am fine.

    It looks like the problem has been fixed by updating the video card driver.
