• When I try to change my lock screen wallpaper I get error saying "setting of the lock screen has failed. Please try again ".

  Original title: locking error screen

  Hello. I use Win 8 Pro x 64 and I'm having a problem affecting the lock screen wallpaper. I am the admin of the machine and Windows is activated.

  After a few days ago, Windows stopped to change my lock screen background. When I try to change it, the error is displayed on the screen:

  LOCK SCREEN ERROR

  Setting the lock screen has failed. Please try again.
  However, I can still change my profile picture and the bottom of the start menu.
  Other users of the computer can change the lock screen normally. My user account is linked to my Outlook.com account as well as others.
  I already tried the other 'solutions' out there: in doing a selective startup with msconfig, disable services applications at startup and also manually delete the folder "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData". Needless.
  I also have the feeling of other users on the web: it's somehow connected to some Windows updated published these days.
  I would appreciate any help on this matter.

  Hi, Tadasha. Thanks for the reply.

  In regards to KB 2770917 updates, I already installed it on my Win 8 as well as others (I keep the OS always up to date). So it has not really helped but thanks.
  On the tip of the gob0nkers is not really the case here, because I don't want to set a wallpaper of single lock for each user (in fact I had already read his answer to the question of ch). So far I have found no article on the web by offering an effective way to work around the problem.
  What I've done: created another user profile and abandoned the old (who introduced the problem). I think that it is related to the file the user AppData or something.
  So far things are working well with the new profile of the user.
  Thanks for the help!

• FaceTime does not account for failover of screen lock

  Hi all

  I've had this problem for a while now (at least since iOS 8) as well as with different iPhones (5, 5s, 6s). I usually failover of screen lock ON since I like to use my phone while on the couch or in bed and do not want to worry that the screen rotates another every minute.

  The bug following (?) that bothers me and a lot of my girlfriend:

  Screen rotation lock, I lie in bed (would be horizontal mode but it is vertical because it is locked) and I run a FaceTime call.

  -> FaceTime uses horizontal mode and ignores the lock of flipping screen in a vertical position

  Screen rotation lock ON, I start the FaceTime call in vertical mode-> all is good.

  Until I turn to another application, while holding the iPhone horizontally. The other application is in vertical mode (as it should be as flipping screen lock is on) but as soon as I return to FaceTime, FaceTime ignores the failover of screen lock and switch to horizontal mode.

  The solution in both cases:

  (1) I have to disable the blocking of the rotating screen (SRL),

  (2) hold the iPhone upright,

  (3) wait until FaceTime changes in vertical mode,

  (4) to activate once again, SRL

  (5) lie down with my iPhone in landscape mode.

  I don't see how this can be a feature! We are the only ones who are bothered by that?

  If you have a solution, please tell me. If this is not a bug but a feature, please describe a situation where this behavior makes sense.

  I thank very you much.

  Best regards

  Maxim

  Wait for the next update of iOS (9.3), it won't take very long I guess.

• I can't turn on my firewall, error: Firewall Windows cannot change some of your settings Error code: 0 x 80070424

  My firewall is off, I went to control panel to turn it on and it comes up saying "Windows Firewall cannot change some of your settings Error code: 0 x 80070424" any ideas how to fix or what's goin'?

  Hello

  What do you use for security?

  If you are using an Internet Security Suite, it will have its own firewall and disables the default Windows Firewall.

  And you should have only one firewall to avoid problems related to the operating system.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Malware to disable your firewall and your safety programs.

  Scan of Malware in Safe Mode with network.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-Windows-in-safe-mode/#Vista

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  Once in Safe Mode with network, download and run RKill.

  RKill does NOT remove the malware; It stops the Malware process that gives you a chance to remove it with your security programs.

  Then, download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:

  Hello

  I just changed a new laptop with win 7. I have a little problem with screen saver which is defined in the field of sleep on white screen, set to 15 minutes and requires the password. Everything is more gray, so I have no possibility to change that.

  Can someone help me to unlock the screen saver settings (remove the grey shadow) so that I can customize my screen saver?

  Thank you

  Hi Baracus,
   
  1. are you able to click on the dropdown under screen saver?
  2 or it is dimmed as well?

   

  If this isn't the case, then select a different screen saver and try to change the settings.

• "Windows Firewall cannot change some of your settings. Error code 0 x 80070424 ' how to fix this?

  I get this error: "firewall Windows cannot change some of your settings. Error code 0 x 80070424"when I try to turn on the Windows Firewall (Windows 7).  I am also unable to start my computer in safe mode.  My computer has been infected by the virus 'Win 7 Security 2012', which is what caused this damage to my system.  The virus also seems to have removed all the system restore points before the infection!  I believe that I have the virus completely deleted.  I used Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware, Kapersky Virus Removal Tool, antivirus Ati Avira (anti-virus program I was running when my computer has been infected by the virus) & Microsoft Security Essentials.  I ran the Scan SFC, a tool for emergency response Microsoft Support, Microsoft FixIt, ComboFix, & Tweaking.com Windows Repair all-in-One.  Repair Windows Tweaking.com seems to be turned Action Center back, where I now get a message that: "Windows Defender is turned off" & it does not seem to recognize MSE as my anti-virus program.  I need to know how to get Windows Firewall works again & get Action Center working properly again.  My computer has a partition with my Windows Recovery on it, but since I can't start in safe mode, I can not also start the restore partition to do a "repair" install, or even restore to factory settings!  Can anyone help?

  Also, when I use a search engine on internet, I get re-directed to a site that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the result of the research, and I click on... I am not that so that is proof that the virus is not COMPLETELY gone or not.
