• Right-click on the program icon to create the desktop shortcut - nothing happens?

  I right click on any program icon to create a shortcut on the desktop and nothing happens. It is as if he has forgotten what to do when you right-click. How can I fix it

  Hi Yoliray,

  • Since when are you facing this problem?
  • You did changes to the computer before this problem started?

  However, you can start the computer in safe mode and check if you can create a shortcut on the desktop in safe mode and after return the result. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

  If you can not create a shortcut in your user account, you can start again in safe mode and try to access the built in Administrator account and try to create a shortcut in the administrator account and check if it creates and post back the result.

  You can also try to re - register the i the shell32.dll file and check if it helps to create the shortcut. To re-record the file, follow the steps below:

  a. Click Start and click Run.
  b. in the run box, type the command regsvr32 /i shell32.dll and click Ok.

  Restart the computer and check if that helps.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the result.

  Thank you and best regards,

  • Applications or processes that interfere with Internet communications
  • Problems on your computer
  • Strong Internet activity

• I have the inability to run Windows Update. I get this error: Code 80070005

  I have the inability to run Windows Update. I get this message: Windows could not search for updates. An error occurred when the new updates for your computer. Error: Code 80070005 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
  I tried a few patches, but they do not work. Including those of ACCESS DENIED. And another by Kim.
  What's next?

  Hello

  • Have what troubleshooting measures you tried?

  Error code 80070005 means generally that you're not quite allowed to install updates. Access may be denied if you have logged on to the computer as a standard user and this account does not have permission to install updates.

  To resolve the problem follow the steps that are listed in the methods below in the order listed, starting with method 1.

  Method 1:

  Log the computer as an administrator or as a user with administrative rights.

  Method 2:

  One of the most common causes of this error code (access denied) is the Anti Virus and Anti Spyware software running on the computer. You can try to disable them, and then try the updates again.

  Note: Runs the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; don't forget to activate the security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after you have identified the problem.

  Method 3:

  Try to reset your default security settings.

  Reference:

  Method 4:

  Reset Windows Update components.
