After having recently updated windows, some programs no longer work. In addition, System Restore does not work.

After having recently updated windows, some programs no longer work.  Also, when I went to do a system restore, that he would not allow me to restore to an earlier date.  Among the programs that no longer work are VLC Media player, ieploxer, f.lux.  Even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled they would not load correctly.  I would get the splash screen for the program, but noting else.  When I am gone in Windows Task Manager the program would not appear in Applications, but there are processes running.  And an interesting thing, the exe afficheraient use of the 72K memory.  Still, even for different programs.

What can I do?

Start the command prompt, and then type

sfc/scannow

Do check and see what the result is.

Also run full system scan with:

  • Envy of HP dv7-7332ea - System Restore does not work on windows 8

    Hey there,

    I recently bought this machine about a month ago. I used the Windows 8 System Restore feature to restore my pc to a previous state.

    However, after running it, I got a message saying: it failed and to ensure my anti virus is disabled. Accordingly, I have disabled Norton and tried again but it still does not work.

    Previously, the only problem I had with the pc was that he locked himself completely and therefore I turned off the machine that I have been unable to close.

    When I rebooted, HP Support Assistant could not run and so I uninstalled and then reinstalled from website theHP. It is now resolved. The thing is I'm a little scared that something is wrong with the machine that is the reason why I think that the system restore does not work.

    I'm a newbie on the computers here. Could you please give me some advice to diagnose if there is nothing wrong with my machine and fix the system restore?

    See you soon,.

    Hi Damon,

    Norton is a component called 'Tamper Protection' that should be disabled before a system restore can be performed - for more details on this topic, see the following link.

  • When I update Windows 7, Aero no longer works

    This seems to be a common problem, but I was not able to find a solution. I currently run an ASUS laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, processor i7 Q720 and GPU NVidia GTX260M. I always installed updates as required, however, when I install updates currently aero effects no longer work.

    I tried the troubleshooting, and it detects any problems. I checked that my monitor is running in true color (32 bit) and everything seems fine here. I also have the latest NVidia driver.

    If I restore the system before the update, it will return to operation. I thought he was one of the updates of windows that did, so I installed each individually (IE 10 and a defender of windows update) but the result is the same in either. I then tried to install an optional update randomly and the same thing happened. Any suggestions?

    If you have updated your Windows then uninstall the update of platform for Windows 7 (KB2670838) and your problem should be solved.

    Before I updated my Windows this month I just checked if Microsoft still offer this update. This is in the optional list. I installed so I thought to manually upgrade to IE10 because he wasn't in the IE9 update list. So I did manually and after that check updates again and to my surprise this update has disappeared completely. I have an old PC as well, and after installing all the updates I still have no problems so far.
    System Restore may also help in some cases.

  • I am running Windows XP. System Restore does not restore points. How can I fix?

    I checked the services window and he said: restore and system started in auto mode. I checked the settings of system restore and it's turned on and monitoring of my hard drives. However no restore points are created. I am also running Spyware Doctor from PCtools. He also tries to create restore points
    When it detects and corrects spyware or infections of male ware. This program tells me to check the system restore is on, because it cannot create restore points when it should.

    What antivirus program you have installed? Products Norton will interfere with system restore. Or your computer may be infected (Spyware Doctor is not particularly good).

  • System Restore does not: Windows XP, getting the error "system restore has not initialized because windows stops."

  • System Restore does not not in Windows 7 upgrade

    HP DV9715nr, clean install of Win 7 Ult, cannot restore the system to a previous restore point, mistakes by saying "System Restore could not access a file. This is probably because an antivirus program is running on the computer. Temporarily disable your antivirus software and try the system restore. An unspecified error occurred during SYSTEM restore. 0x80070005.

    I have disabled my Avast v6.01 software, retried the restoration, the same exact error. The options only other 'Advanced' restoration are a wipe and reinstall completely.

    That does take to get the sys restore works correctly?

    You can do the Microsoft System Restore even F11 too. F11 does not mean to restore the system to factory settings. There are several other options in other than recovery F11 recovery menu.

    I'm not familiar with the settings of Avast. You can see if you can disable something like Tamper Protection.

  • System Restore does not not on windows vista & connection with HDMI to the TV problem

    Hello, we had a problem with the restoration of the system, that we are on family vista premium, we continue to get the message there was an error unspeccified and system restore did not complete. We don't have a norton security, but use AVG professional. We tried several different restore points with the same result. Also maybe it's a coincidence but connect us quite often the PC via HDMI to the TV, it has always connected without problem, it has also stopped working so the reason we thought that system restore has been the answer. Any ideas would be received with gratitude thank you

  • After the recent update Windows Vista (Japanese OS) Firewall/Malware WARNING

    Hi, I am faced with a new type of problem since the recent update of Windows. In fact I've been using computer for a long time and on computer there's always Norton Internet security (previous Anti Virus) also, I had Malwarebyte s anti-malware installed and did not get the message "security WARNING Windows turn on the firewall and malware". When I tried to click OK, it won't because I'm already using Norton and Malwarebyte s.

    This message is very annoying, I want to turn it off, but I can't.

    Would you please let me know the steps how can I disable it?

    Thank you.

    Hi Ari,

    This could be a temporary problem, please run live on your Norton Internet Security Update, until you get the message "No updates available", and then restart the computer. If the problem persists, run Norton Reinstall tool by www.norton.com/nrnr to reinstall Norton Internet Security and let us know if this helps.

  • After having recently updated Firefox, I lost my menu bar Freecorder. I uninstalled and reinstalled but it still does not appear. It is in internet explorer, but not firefox

    Desktop running w7 64 bit

    To insert a toolbar in Firefox, Freecorder needs to install an add-on Firefox in addition to its own program.

    The standard response from their tech support is to uninstall and reinstall:

    I installed freecorder 4 audio, but the toolbar does not appear even after activation Add ons

    Freecorder Toolbar disappeared

    Without installing it myself, I don't know what else to think.
