• IE8_Windows automatic update when IE8 is already installed

  original title: automatic update anomaly IE8_Windows

  Windows Auto Update on my laptop under Windows XP Sp3, just downloaded and prompted me to install "Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP".  However, I'm already under IE8 (8.0.6001.18702 worm).

  The update is not called an "update for IE8" and its accompanying info explains the benefits for me to install IE8.

  In addition, there is a link in the details area of this automatic update that goes to a website showing "we're sorry, the requested page is not found.

  Is this just a problem in the Windows automatic updates, in fact just an update to my already installed IE8 or something more sinister?

  Appreciate your advice

  In no order given...

  1 automatic updates will not offer all other updates as long as there are one or more updates in the queue (for example, IE8).

  2. in my previous answer, hide (optional, non-security update) KB951847, the HID Driver (generically identified as KB 911895) and IE8update.

  TIP: If you have not already run the troubleshooter automated in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & restarted, you may need to do if after you hide these updates.

  3. http://windowsteamblog.com/ie/b/ie/archive/2011/12/15/ie-to-start-automatic-upgrades-across-windows-xp-windows-vista-and-windows-7.aspx refers to IE8 in WinXP and IE9 in Vista & Win7.

  4. as far as I know there is no current, yet available AV app version (free or otherwise, including Avast and Avira AntiVir) which would be like 'light' on your Windows XP system as a bit outdated-yet-still-supported by AVG Free v9.

  Comment: A casual survey on the malware removal forums will show you that the vast majority of infected systems are running AVG Free (any version) - followed closely by ISP-freebies McAfee Security Center & Norton Security Suite. Think about it...

• USB ports does not work after automatic update in Windows 8.

  Hello

  There was an automatic update that occurred a few nights ago on my computer that I never knew until after that I turned on my computer back the next day. The computer starts up, then stopped and restarted about twice more - a total of three reboots in all.
  It is really annoying, because my Bluetooth has also stopped working a few days before. So I'm completely paralyzed - I've been using USB keyboard and mouse since the Bluetooth went bankrupt. I can not connect.
  The computer starts as usual. The 'numlock' keyboard lights, like the optical light under the mouse; This happens just before the Windows loading screen. However once windows loading screen comes and the "pearls" downstairs begin circulating, the mouse and the keyboard go quiet. I am sure that there is no hardware problems, and the keyboard and mouse work on my Mac very well.
  I tried system restore and PC options refresh on the Startup Options page, but unfortunately, my hard drive is unlocked, and system restore won't work; It says that I need to specify which Windows Installation to restore. I also tried my options with the Windows CD.
  Do a complete restore of the system is not really something I want or feel that I can do. Being the sidenote, I have school work on this machine in question, and it was already over. Otherwise, I would have not had any problems.
  Anyone had this problem before?

  Hi, I just have this problem, but I have noticed that the driver has been disabled, when I activated, it works fine now.
