• After update on Windpws 8.1, applications and desktop windows files are gone

  After using windows 8 for some time and just become familiar with my lap top has started promoting update me windows 8.1 I did. He got to halfway through the update failed.  A pop up message that my computer will reboot when it has finally done I had to create a new user as egone account all the tverything that was on my computer is now disappeared from windows desktop is Islands and apps are word disappeared from windows of the program excel outlook ECt are all deleted.  I first tried to contact microsoft last night 9/12 14 after a long time on hold I got to a telephone switchboard finally after an hour to be spent on I got to a person called Sheena p who accessed my computer remotely to fix the problem after that several attempts to try to untangle the issues it has had problems as it were quite well refused to listen to what I explained.

  He decides so after hour or more that this too is a problem for him and I need help of level 2 and it would organize a call back for today 10/12/14.  Soon after the end of the call, I received another call from microsoft, explaining that the Office of the United Kingdom farm at 7 and I would like to be contacted at 18:00.  After leaving work earlier to be home to this call and in the meantime and until it became obvious that no one was going to get in touch.

  So I contacted once again microsoft got passed from one person to another, so that all operators attempted to pass the problem on to another Department, eventually after about 45 minutes, it is call that I am someone in the phillapines that even once, pretty much couldn't or wouldn't understand the problem told me it could not be anything else other than a virus no matter how much times I explained the problem that she seemed unable to depart from it on the screen guests as she just constantly repeated the same vein times she said microsoft is paying and that she would not do anything until I paid $ 99, I think that it is and violates since I had already spent enough money buy microsoft software that has now been removed and a microsoft program.  Then she just transferred back me to the very first options menu so I wasn't on hold or in any that just left to start all over again. I finished the call to seek an alternative.

  can someone sign affect me? I have a laptop restored to factory settings, no files, folders, pictures or software because I have updated windows 8 from their guest.

  Thanks in advance

  Mark

  It would be impossible for the .old and the user folder to disappear, unless someone went to PC settings and clicked on the "Reset PC" option.  Other than that, the only way for those missing is to be booted from a CD or USB and do a new installation instead of the update to the App Store.

  Regardless of how, however, at this stage there is no much I can suggest.  Install your favourite again and get your files from OneDrive or backup everything you use.

• Satellite P10-304 - update Windows 7 problem

  I have a Satellite P10 304 to 2003 which has Windows XP, but I need to update for obvious reasons. I bought a copy of Windows 7 (32 bit) and installed without any installation problem, however I can't update Windows.

  I reinstalled, deleted the hard drive and reinstalled again. Tried the stop and start the Windows Update utility.
  Downloaded the stand-alone Windows Update.

  Updated the BIOS to V2.0 and downloaded the Toshiba Service Station application (who says no update is necessary).
  All this without success.

  My hopes were raised when I saw that the Station Service for Windows 7 32 bit software was available for the P10 304 but I am now at a loss.

  Anyone know if this laptop can be upgraded to Windows 7 and how to get updates of work?

  Help is welcome.

  Peter

  I'm sure that installation of Windows 7 update problems are not specific to Toshiba problems even if you use the Toshiba laptop.

  From my point of few, you should check the Microsoft support pages to find the solution.
  For example this:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/w...#1TC=Windows-7

  Just a tip: I had some problems in the past to install updates because of the antirust software. He locked the installation of some essential updates and after you disable temporal, updates could be installed...
  Missing Service Packs might concern the single installation of patches.

• Updates Windows installs - Error 8000FFFF

  Whenever I try to install an update through Windows Update, I get the same error: 0x8000FFFF. I tried the solution given here, but these registry values do not exist in my registry so the problem is something else. I was not able to install an important update in a very long time (some updates requiring installation go all the way back for 2009!). Because of this window will let me install Internet Explorer 9 and Security Essentials. Updates only that it allows me to install Silverlight and Microsoft Office updates are, are not as important as the updates of security and whatnot. Any help?

  Hello

  -Logged as administrator?

  I would suggest trying the following steps and check.

  You must have the permissions for the 'SYSTEM' in 2 files Temp.

  They are:

  C:\Windows\Installer

  AND

  \AppData\Local\Temp C:\Users\

   

  How to add permissions:

  1. a click right Security - Properties -file tab

  2. in the "Group or user name," you should have

  a. your account name

  b. SYSTEM

  3. If the SYSTEM is missing, click on ' Edit...', then ' Add... »

  4 al 'Entered the names of objects to select', 'SYSTEM' key, and then click OK

  5. click on 'SYSTEM' and ' Full Control ' is checked in the permissions window.

  If you find no records you will need to view hidden folders.

  1. click on Start and then click on 'Computer' .
  2. click on organize and then folder and Search Options. In the view tab, check on ' display the drives, folders and hidden files "

   

  If you are still having the same problem, then create a new account and check.

• Updated Windows huge problem?

  OK, my problem is THAT WU worked for 2 weeks in a row.  I ran each diagnosis tools, convenience stores, Scans and fix his previous discussions that have worked in the past.  Here's what made WU.  It runs and uses all the resources and the cpu.  Cannot access the internet because WU uses every bit of my computer and makes the rest of the useless.  In other words WU takes over my computer completely and cannot use any program whatsoever until I got disabling WU.  Only after I disabled service WU I can then go on the internet and use my programs and others.  Can someone please find a real solution for that stupid fool Windows update.  Microsoft will not address these issues and we consumers have to fix ourselves.  I am running Win 7 32 sp1 and is not a performance problem and SFC and other troubleshooting options won't work at all to fix Windows Update.  Someone please for the love of God.  I am at my end of strings with WU and I really want to dump Windows all together and try Linux or another OS just to get away from WU.

  If you did the first post, I did try this next and yes it has been a problem, but it has been fairly constant during the definition

  Switch your windows update setting to never check the updates temporarily

  Restart the machine

  Then you download this from your download folder run from there.

  https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/library/security/MS16-039?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

  Download the x 86 for 32-bit or x 64 for 64-bit

  Install it and restart when prompted too after he did a search of stand-alone for updates that should not

  take too long, it took all of 5 seconds, '' If '' windows update settings are turned on forever check

  updates before running from the downloads folder.

  Once it installs and restarts

  You can reset your updates affecting everything you had before default =...

  Then check the updates manually.
