• After the automatic updates of Windows8 all my files disappeared

  After that the automatic update performed by Windows8 about two weeks ago, that all my files were deleted, all system settings and favorites are gone. The image of the Office was changed, as well as the background was changed from green to blue. Well, I managed to find my files in a file system, it back office. However, today, I just restarted my computer and the parameters are all back as they were 2 weeks ago but all my files are gone for good. There were about 200GB, now my drive C/watch 390 GB free on 440 Go, so my all files have been deleted. No search engine can find them. They are all gone. I had saved in this project, I worked on during 2 months and have no idea what I'm supposed to do now. How Windows can delete something I never heard it? I have not updated, restored or anything like that. Quite simply, I rebooted my computer.

  Can any guru who created this Windows8 how to get the files that my career depends on it?

  Hi Jenny,

  To provide the proper resolution, I would need more information on your side.

  1. do you receive any error messages? If Yes, what is the exact error message?

  2. What is the item number knowledge base of the installed Windows Update recently?

  Method 1:
  If files are missing from the library, I suggest you try the following steps.

  (a) go to the libraries in Windows Explorer.

  (b)with the right button no matter what folder gives you an error.

  (c)delete the folder.

  (d)with the right button on the "libraries" folder

  (e), select "restore default libraries".

  The folder you just deleted will now be back and fully functional with all your documents safe and sound.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest you to virus scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  Note:

  1) the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  2) if you run the virus scan of the program which is infected with the virus will be deleted. Therefore, reinstall the program. Also, if files and folders are affected by the virus, while they might even get deleted.

• All browsers stop working after the automatic updates

  * Original title: Windows 8 - all browsers stop working after update

  Hi, I have a Dell 14R with Windows 8, standard configuration.  After the automatic updates pushed on 06-04-14, computer laptop start behaving strange - not able to connect to any external website.  Home page only on a browser worked.  Troubleshooting auto did not find any problems. I restored the computer to the last point saved, generated an error "cannot restore', perhaps due to MacAfee, but solved the problem.   Then I disabled the updates for windows, just in case.  Did you anyone has a similar experience lately and was able to locate and solved the problem?

  I've updated for Windows 8.1 over the weekend, it seems to work great so far.

• I need to know how stop the automatic updates, secondly how do I substitute him "you can't run this program on this pc?

  First of all, I need to know how to stop the automatic updates, second how to replace him "you can't run this program on this pc?  I SWEAR THAT IF HE SAID THAT HE AGAIN THAT I WILL BREAK IT INTO PIECES. Then I'll go buy an android tablet.  Surface, hate hate 8

  Yes running of programs that are not on the store is not possible. It is not a parameter or artificial, it's just that the RT line uses what is called an ARM chipset, also known as RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Chip).  Literally, he cannot read the compiled code of complete programs.  Same reason you can't run Adobe Photoshop on an iPhone, just CPU cannot decode the program.  But on the good side of things, it cannot launch virus either, so he made the first version of Windows that cannot get 'gunked up' over time. It works like an iPad and have a continuous and consistent performance for a lifetime. I'm sad that they abandoned it so fast, I know a lot of people who could use this service.

  Anyway, you can skip the connection at startup.  There is in fact in two ways.  Unless you do a lot of "full stops", I recommend enter Power Options and setting by turning off the "password required when you wake up sleep."  Which will remove the requirement for password of sleep/wake, but if the device never complete a boot will always be a password.  This is a good compromise for safety and security, so if the device is lost or stolen, it eventually crashes when the battery is dead.

  But if you want to delete this, you should be able to do it by running the command NETPLWIZ, as described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOYmY-6Wd3Y

• Stop the automatic updates.

  I won't use Firefox 29 or newer to the interface introduced v29 shit it's user friendly and bring some missing thing the v28 (they may be survivals of an older profile), no. Restorer Classic theme does not bring them back.
  The above is here simply to try to stop suggestions on the use of v29

  I tried to go into the menu options Firefox > Options > advanced > never search for updates, but this does not prevent updates.
  I had to uninstall Firefox 29 5 times today, each time after he said to "never check updates."

  Not to start a war here, but Mozilla won't return to the entire user interface that they spent 2 years working on. That would be a downgrade to them. Mozilla is all pushing forward. Some users may the hate, but it's that there are other alternatives such as the Restorer of classic theme for people who dislike the design Australis.

  There is a way to disable updates by going through the menu Options, but after this, when you go to help > on Firefox, it would update regardless of this setting.
  2 methods here, pick a.
  You can set these prefs in about:config to turn off the automatic update:
  
  App.Update.auto - false
  
  App.Update.Enabled - false
  
  App.Update.Silent - false

  Or you can use this method to do it for you:
  You can create a new file in a text editor (default values are: Notepad of Windows, TextEdit for Mac and Linux text editor) called user.js . When you save user.js, is ensure that it's file type is all FILES like leaving as it's going to add the extension .txt (user.js.txt) and it will not work. Place this file in your profile folder. See link below to find out how to access the file

• Download Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007 but the automatic updates do not work.

  Hello. Thanks in advance for your help here.

  I am at a loss to know what to do.

  Recently, I downloaded Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007, which seems to be very well. The problem is the automatic updates do not work. After searching online, I did the start > run > Winver and he says I have Service Pack 3. Then I went to control panel in Add/Remove Programs, and even if it is listed, there is no indication that it is actually installed.

  I remember a year or there are problems with SP3, when I tried to upgrade to IE8 so "I THINK" I removed it. Probably shouldn't have done that!  But IE8 has worked fine once I removed it. Microsoft says that we will no longer receive automatic updates to SP2 in June and so we have to upgrade to SP3.  Well, I just don't know what I have on my computer at this point!

  Anyway, now I get these failed messages on the updates for the Office:

  The 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2)
  Update for Microsoft Office System 2007 (KB967642)
  Update of security for Microsoft Office System 2007 (KB951944)
  Update of security for Microsoft Office 2007 (KB951550)

  So I thought I'd download the SP2.  But I did not know if Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 actually means I have SP2 installed or not.  And I got in such a mess last year I don't want to take any chances again.

  I'm sorry that it is a message that is too long. I tried to print screens to attach more information, but that did not work. Let me know what you need.

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  Diane

  I found more information. Looking in my history of update for automatic updates, all 4 of these updates failed have the same error Code which is: 0 x 80070663.  I don't know if this info helps solve this problem or not, but that's it.

• KB955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.

  original title: Windows Update acts confused - kb955759 does not appear when I check the updates manually, but it appears with the yellow shield after you have enabled the automatic updates.

  I just reset my CMOS settings, writing zeros for my hard drive, repartitioned, reformatted and used the recovery cd Gateway system to get my computer to Windows 98se - factory settings, except at the beginning of the recovery of the system, when it says "press any key for advanced options," I pressed a key and then I unchecked all the default (3rd party) applications including Norton and left only 2 checked: "Updated USB Hub" and "Windows Shutdown Supplement," while nothing has been installed, leaving only win98.
   
  Then I used my disc XP Home (SP2) update.  I, immediately after the upgrade to Windows XP, installed "Office XP with Frontpage, Developer Edition", then Norton 2012 before never connect to the internet.
  Then, I connected to the internet and continuously update of Norton, before ever hitting the Windows Update page. The first thing I did then was to activate Windows, and then activate the office.
  Then I hit the update of Windows "button" that says "get all your updates in one place... upgraded"Microsoft Update".  I, then, just kept hitting the page update and restart, until I find the SP3.  Then, I took a break, until the next day.
   
  I have an ADSL broadband, with a Linksys EtherFast PCI card.
   
  Then I got SP3, which installed without any problems.
  So I just kept "microsoft continuous update" manually (and reboot), until there is no more updates - EXCEPT, I always uncheck Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - which was the only screening at the final stop for the night.  I think that I ticked the box "don't ask me about this update".
   
  Then, in the morning, after you have enabled automatic updates, I noticed the yellow shield - Windows security icon (or whatever it's called), so I clicked on it and checked it was tellimg me was available [when I checked "Custom Install (advanced users)"].  What showed was 1 update - 955759 KB.
   
  After the problem, already at the reformat (months and months), see the yellow shield telling me there are updates available, which were already installed (before rebooting), I checked manually on the internet with IE 8, pressing alt, "T", "U".  There is no updated list.  Then I checked through my history of update (twice), and KB955759 had not been installed.
   
  My update setting is to let windows download ('important') updates, but let me choose when to install them.
   
   
   
  What is the right - Windows Update (NO update important reporting) Site, or the yellow shield (reports [a] kb955759 [update])?
   
  I can not yet confirm he is supposed to be an update for XP home kb955759, because I was unable to locate any detailed documentation on this 'thing' that protect the yellow safety seems to think is a significant update.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Just for the heck of it, I have disabled the automatic updates, cleared my browser cache, checked manually, updates from microsoft (windows) and found none (with the exception of software malware removal tool windows [which I have not installed]).  Then, I turned the automatic updates on, and without even being connected to the internet, the yellow shield popped up with the kb955759 "update"...

  Repost...

  1. If you open Internet Explore (only!) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and run a CUSTOM scan, KB955759 appears in results?... If so, you manage to install it and/or security updates available?

  2 after no. 1 above [<>], is the 'yellow shield' icon appears in the Notification area (on the left of your clock)?  .. and if yes, by clicking on the 'yellow shield' icon tells you that KB955759 or any other updates is ready-to-be-installed?  .. .and if so, you manage to install it?

  3 after doing 1 # & #2 above [<>], is KB955759 or any other updates offered as a ready-to-install update when you go off your computer?  .. .and if so, you manage to install it?

  ... I guess that clearing the browser cache does not erase 'downloaded' updates.

  Nope. If you want to clear the queue of the update...

  OPTION A:

  1. stop the automatic updates service:

  Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
  Double-click automatic updates > click stop
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  2 remove the contents of the download folder:

  Start > run > (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > click OK
  
  Open the download folder and delete its content
  Close the window.

  3. start the automatic updates service:

  Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > click OK
  Double-click automatic updates > click Start
  (Starting the service will take a moment)

  OPTION B:

  1. open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 [don't know the titles, etc..]

  2. make disappear/close the Troubleshooter automatically pop up.

  3 repaired 50202 in DEFAULT modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]
