  • Two identical icons is the Notification area icons window

    Windows8; I installed a Portable application to warn me when Windows Update was available.  I have updates the value «Download but I would select to install»  The program is "Windows Update notify v1.2.2".  It works exactly as the author of the notification of update done in Windows7 by opening a small window in the lower right to warn you that updates are available.

    Given that this program is Portable there is no way to uninstall using programs and features.  He says reading about portable programs... that you delete the folder that the program created... and its autorun file and his party.  I can find the file... it shows his request... I can't find the Autorun if in fact there is a.  The program installed in C:\Users\XXXXX\Desktop and I can see the Zip file downloaded in the Desktop folder and the folder decompressed when you click on it shows...

    How would completely uninstall a Portable program to include its autorun?

    At this moment I have two icons for Windows Update notify 1.2.2 view that I see when I click on the box SHOW HIDDEN ICON on the taskbar and that makes no sense... they are exactly the same... certainly 2 are not necessary and I have found no way to remove one...    If I keep this program installed, proposals on how to delete one of these duplicate icons?

  • Windows 7 64-bit slow start of blue circle hangs on the network icon in the notification area. Some programs don't load until the problem resolves. stuck at the screen of welcome for 5-10 minutes sometimes.

    Hello world.

    It will be long and windy.

    I have a problem with my ASUS G50VT - X 5.

    im going to write down the details of my question, short first. so if you want you can read my short story on my laptop and I.

    • Slow start.
    • Network at startup initialization problem.
    • Blue circle weighs on my network icon in the taskbar notification for 10 minutes or more. then she disappears with the problem that everything starts to operate correctly.
    • some startup programs do not start until the issue is resolved. (blue circle disappears) i.e. adjustment of splendid colors, services, programs of control really like network connections and things like that but some i can still run.
    • programs that have to do with the network or the internet such as IE or center network to hang until the issue is resolved.
    • Some programs won't load if started up that the problem is solved. for example, microsoft outlook and other things.

    Another thing, I noticed. If I have automatic network connection configuration and the network is in range when I launch firefox I can actually serf the web regardless of the question.

    I'm not the only one having this problem, but solutions that work for some do not work for me. some of the things I've tried to understand.

    • has run msconfig to see if it is one of the start up programs or services is causing the problem. found nothing.
    • run the cmd command, I think that the chkdsk. It digitizes and restores the registers according to me. did not help
    • Used norton. then corrected all the errors found and the questions. did not help.
    • Ran startup recovery tool to fix problems at the beginning. did not help.
    • Booted up my laptop in SafeMode with network. Works very well

    Also, the problem started not with win 7 install I had it on my laptop well before the problem.

    im running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. as if lately, about a week ago my laptop started to start, slow down and be laggy when the system boots. I have no much attention at first. Since the question does not disappear on its own, I noticed that my network in the notification bar icon has a blue circle probably because its network initialization or loading something that is bound to it something as is. After about 10 minutes the issue resolves itself and everything works fine until I have reboot or restart. also sometimes on occasion I will be stuck to the homescreen for 7-10 minutes.  also if I put my laptop to sleep when I start it it works fine. I think that the time to resolve that issue got longer it is about 10 min now but it used a lot less. at least that's what I recall. In addition, I noticed a few more things. If I left click on the network icon does nothing when normally it will display network connections. If I right click on it displays troubleshooting and Open Network and Sharing Center. Troubleshooting doesn't help and returns nothing. Network and sharing Center is suspended until the problem resolves. in fact, some programs won't load until it the problem goes away as internet explore, network and sharing virtually Center almost everything what has to do with the network and also other programs that require a bit more resources. What else... the kicker is that while the issue is to present the networks I connect to automatically are in fact very well and I have internet, even though the network is still initializing. what I mean is that if I start my portable firefox and launch (cannot use IE because he hangs up) I can go online and the serf of the web.

    Well, I am at a loss and don't know what to do next, except to format and clean install. However, people who did it until the problem was which leads me to believe that this is one of the windows updates may be.

    If someone knows how to fix this problem or can give a kind of constructive contribution, I'm all ears.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Notification area: icons are invisible (NOT the system icons)

    Was fine when I went to bed last night. Computer did an automatic stop (no windows update). Started this morning and the notification area icons are invisible. The space of each icon is still there because I can mouseover a vacuum arises space and text for each icon.

    I tried the regedit fix, but that is really intended for people who cannot see their system icons. The icons of my clock, volume, network and battery are still visible, but no other icons are. Restarted several times, started in safe mode and windows theme switched from classic to vista. I can't find an answer to this problem.

    When I restart windows, first 2 or 3 icons will begin to show, but then after that, for some reason, they disappear and no other icons appear. As I said, however, the actual processes are still running and I can even access. Just the icons are not visible.

    Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  • Its icon does not appear in the notification area - no audio device is installed

    NO INSTALLED AUDIO DEVICE & NO SOUND, VIDEO & GAME CONTROLLER NOT TAB ON DEVICE MANAGER

    I had some problems with the sound on my laptop... sometimes the volume icon will suddenly disappear from the notification area and I can not add it even because it is grayed off the coast, unless I restarted my laptop... and after an automatic Windows Update I suddenly got errors on my sound whenever I play a game and try to mute it. After that, the volume in the notification area icon got a red X and it had the "NO AUDIO DEVICE IS INSTALLED" message!

    I tried everything I found on the net without success. I can't even enable or disable my audio driver because I have NOT any how 'audio, video controller & game' tab on my DEVICE MANAGER! I can't uninstall & re-install my drivers either because it would not uninstall first, even in safe mode. Reinstall the driver will give me an error message saying "No. MEDIA FOUND to this DEVICE DRIVER" !

    I also tried to reformat my laptop and goes back to factory settings, restore my system to a point where I wasn't having problems still, it reboot several times, always check the Device Manager if somehow the tab for its controller will magically appear and try several times to reinstall my driver... This gave me No. SOLUTION !

    I don't know what to do more and forums on other sites do no help either. I don't want to dirty my registry for fear of totally play my laptop.

    HOW can I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? I just got windows update and not only I have problems with the audio on my laptop but I can't play games on facebook either!

    Hi Annetalla,

    You can uninstall the current sound driver from Device Manager and restart the computer to load the generic driver and check if it makes a difference.

    1. click on Start.

    2. type devmgmt. msc in the search box start and press to enter.

    3. right click on the speaker and select Uninstall.

    4 restart the computer, and vista will load the generic drivers.

    If an audio device on board, you will see the option in the BIOS. To do this, you need to read the manual that came with your computer or contact the manufacturer for this.
