  • Because Windows update (13/08/15) I can not install a toolbar on Firefox Robo

    I have been using RoboForm for years without problem. However, last night, I ran the last Windows Update and this morning I had no Robo toolbar on my Firefox. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Robo and still no toolbar. I ran the restore windows at 08/08/15 and there was the fully functional toolbar. I went back to windows update and had the same problem again.

    The toolbar may be hidden or the add-on is no longer compatible with Firefox. You right-click at the top near the address bar and to activate a specific toolbar. You can also check your list of Add-ons to see if it is listed as incompatible. Please note that you do not use beta, not everything may work correctly.

  • I've corrected the 10 Feb Windows update BSOD issue. What to do next?

    Like many others my infographic died with a BSOD after the windows update Feb10th. Returning the suggested KB977165 had no effect, but fortunately after returning all the updates, my computer is back to life.
    I have now a computer with windows update disabled with an update waiting that I suspect is causing the BSOD again if I turn on updates.
    The various forums etc I found will tell you how to recover your computer on but none that I have found tell me if I can go back to windows update or how carefully remove any update caused the BSOD.
    I haven't tried the "no support for Windows Update problems" for an answer and gave with an automated response telling me to try here.
    Can someone please point me to a 'next steps' to recover completely from this?

    I've heard reports of infected, media files cj. The two movies and songs that have been downloaded through Limewire.  If I hear anything else about it, I will be sure to post it here. All the protection we use still depends on who is using the keyboard or mouse click.

    Suggest that you scan the system with Malwarebytes anti-malware , too.  Download the free version, install and allow update when installed.
    Then click on the button scan and use the default quick scan setting. Once the scan is complete click on the button to display the results.
    If sure all detected object is checked and then click on the button select Remove.
    If nothing is detected, I would start the system into safe mode and do a Full scan, too. It will take time to finish but worth it.

    One way that you would be able to be almost certain to 100% that you have detected and deleted all the bad creatures is to shoot on the hard drive, install it as a slave on another system and then scan the HD active.
    Or you can create a BartsPE or Linux boot cd and the scanner without having to shoot HD.

    Anyway is not elegant, to say the least, and not give the same level of confidence you would have with (ugh) formatting and reinstalling.

    KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073 installed, but not "seen" by Windows Update

    Today (Tuesday 22 may 2012), after seeing the yellow icon in the taskbar, I ran Windows Update and KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073 successfully installed, I turned off the PC by clicking on the red icon Turn Off with a shield icon, expected for all 3 updates to install, 4-color and for the PC to stop itself. It took a while, but everything went well. No error message.

    After turning on the PC, I went back to Windows Update and was surprised to see Windows Update suggests to install... KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073 which is the same three components I have installed successfully.

    I ran Microsoft Fix It that 1 issue (update of Windows components needs to be repaired (next line) repair of components Windows Update.) I clicked Next. Everything went well. I had a green check mark 'Fixed '.  I turned off the PC (without having to install 3 updates which I have already installed).

    I turned on the PC and went to Windows Update, asking me to install KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073. It's like Windows Update does not "see" that these 3 elements have already been installed.

    Note: I have the same problem on another PC. The two PC XP SP3 and are stand-alone PC. One is a desktop computer. The other laptop.

    I am running Windows 7 Home version.

    In Windows Update, how do I remove the upgrade option to Windows 10?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    What you need to do here first, is to change the way you receive updates. The automatic updates enabled, the operating system will reinstall the nagware guest who is KB3035583 after uninstalling a step we will take in a minute.

    Then follow these steps:

    1. Right-click the icon of the center of the Action on the taskbar and go to "Windows Update".
    2. In the left menu, click on "change settings".
    3. Change automatic updates to "download updates but let me choose whether to install them".
    4. Click "Save Changes", then "Control Panel Home".
    5. Go to "Programs and features" and click on the link "View installed updates".
    6. Copy and paste KB3035583 in the high-field search right and when it appears below, right click and select "Uninstall". It's a great Setup uninstall can last several minutes.
    7. Then restart and then go back to Windows Update again.
    8. Since you now have different parameters of WU, click on the link if there is no waiting for your approval, which will bring you to the menu where you can decide what to install.
    9. If you see KB3035583 in the list, right click and select "hide update". The box you should checkmark to select an update will turn gray and when you exit WU, these files will be sent in the repository called "Restore hidden updates". You can restore the updates that have been hidden there at any time by clicking on the link, make your selection and click "restore".

    The next step is to edit a registry that will prevent Windows 10 download and installation.

    Press the Windows key + R to start the command run, type: regedit , and then click OK.

    Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE--> SOFTWARE--> Microsoft-->--> CurrentVersion--> WindowsUpdate Windows--> AutoUpdate--> OSUpgrade

    Click the OSUpgrade key (which looks like a folder), and then in the right pane you should be able to see the four values respectively called:

    AllowOSUpgrade

    KickoffDownload

    KickoffSource

    OSUpgradeInteractive

    Part or all of them will have a value of 1. You need to change those to 0 as you see in the screenshot.

    To change a registry value, right-click and go to Edit. In the value field below, transform figure 1 0 a

    Click OK and Windows will add the 0x00000000 (0) itself.

    If it's already a 0 then you don't have to touch it.

    In addition, you must create a value. To do this, right-click on an empty part of the right pane, and then choose new DWORD with the name DisableOSUpgrade-->.  Windows will add REG_ DWORD early, after it is created.

    If inadvertently, you lose the highlight when you create the new value, right click and select Rename.

    Then, right-click of your new value and go to edit. Change the 0 value in a 1 in the value field. Click OK to confirm and exit.

    Reboot, then go to Windows updates. You will now be able to install updates 8.1 without being hassled by Windows 10.

    Vista - hate him. I spent hours on the phone with a brand new computer that Toshiba with Vista 64-bit Edition Internet will stop working with the DNS server unknownerror. Sometimes reboot help but with all Windows update he internet is a luxury. Internet connection is perfect, perfect bc other laptops in the House with no problem, router, no viruses etc., computer - fine tooth - comb nothing.

    Take each OFF download windows update and work until updates again and then started barking at me, something is missing like its updates! Can't very well what update is screwing the connection or networking or a framework-Silverlight is always suspcious to me also.

    My icon for internet splits in two and shows as a #2 without asking confirmation except for a mysterious update. Access: Local and Internet. Symbol of the Internet will be turned off and will not ever look like disconnected until you try to connect.

    That's why people are going to Apple. Windows will not help or is somewhere secret and accept just your visa and mastercard and so what still you? Vista I can't update and no security.

    Toshiba is not very user-friendly, that is toward the back, they discovered Windows was the question. Isn't our problem, said - even if we're stuck with Vista with their product!

Why not just open windows as it used to do?  (if I remove the battery from the laptop and it stops completely it will finally boot normally and go to windows, hense I am able to write this, but I don't want to do all of this to return to windows.)  Thanks for any help you can provide.  TJ
