  Updates, mainly critical updates, which are downloaded and installed manually appear actually Windows XP-> Control Panel-> Add / Remove programs. I use NO automatic update of Windows.

• Cannot access control panel or Windows updates and not more sound

  Yesterday, I restarted my computer and a message keeps popping up that I am victim of software counterfeiting (in reference to Microsoft Windows) when I bought the computer at Future Shop just a year ago. Also, now there is a red X on the speaker icon in the corner and said "no audio output device is installed". I followed the instructions mentioned in another post, as well as other Web sites, and nothing seems them works. Above everything else, I can not access the control panel. It appears and disappears immediately. If this were not already enough, Windows Update does not work or the other. The icon is there, but whenever I click on it, nothing happens.
  I only bought the computer a year ago, and there is already a long list of problems with it. I'm at the end of my rope! If someone is brave enough to tackle these problems, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

• KB3035583 failed - cannot access control panel or turn off PC

  Because today, I'm not able to access control panel or turn off my PC Windows8.

  I checked the software updates, and I see that the KB3035583 update failed last night. If windows 10 update I don't want installed nor am I eligible for it. However, this update failed meant now I can not access PC settings, control panel or turn off my PC. Also I am not able to run any command as an administrator because it tells me that I don't have that even if I am sure that this feature is enabled, and it's my PC denied access. I also tried restore but even that does not work.

  Advice please?

  Read it in conjunction with the rest of the information they give link above.

  Note

  If SFC could not fix something, then run the new command to see if it can be able to next time. Sometimes, it can take by running the sfc/scannow command 3 times restart the PC after each time completely fix everything what he is capable of.

  If not, then run the Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth command to repair damage to the component store,

  Repair-WindowsImage-online - CheckHealth

  Repair-WindowsImage-online - ScanHealth

  Repair-WindowsImage-online - RestoreHealth

  Restart the PC afterwards, and then retry the command sfc/scannow .

  If still no, then try using ONE OPTION above to run the command sfc/scannow at the start

  If still no, then you could do a Refresh of Windows 8, or run a System Restore using a restore point dated before the wrong file occurred to fix. You may need to repeat doing a restore of the system until you find a restore point that is older that may work.

  If not yet, then you can use the steps in the TIP box in the section THREE OPTION to manually replace the files SFC could not fix.

  Refresh your PC goes like this:

  • The PC starts in Windows RE (Recovery Eenvironment).
  • Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
  • Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
  • Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.
  • The PC reboots into the newly installed copy of Windows.

  "When you reboot your PC, the drive will be completely reset and all your applications and your files will be removed it." Windows 8 will be reinstalled, and you need to change any settings, and then reinstall all the apps you want to come back after the reset. If you know if all the files you don't want to lose, then you must back up these files before you start resetting.

• ICAN can't uninstall Justcloud. I tried Control Panel, add/remove, but he did not remove it. What can I do?

  Very well... I downloaded Justcloud but failed to read the terms and policies. I want either, so I tried to uninstall it by going into the control panel and clicking Add/Remove, but Justcloud would not uninstall. I'm a novice at this and I don't really know what to do to get this from my computer. It's the first day of a 14-day free-trial which Justcloud offered. I really need this uninstalled before the end of this trial period because I do not share the terms and policy and I will not be forced.

  Hi Shawn,

  System Restore can return programs and system files from your PC to a time when everything was working well. This will not affect your documents, images or other data.

  Do a System Restore to an earlier date and check if it works.
