Desktop Background slideshow is stopped after Windows Update

I have my computer and automatic updates from Microsoft. I received a number of Microsoft updates on 14/02/13. After the reboot, the background slide show feature has stopped working. The background alone, that I can use now is a solid color. If I select a single image or images and save the value, the background does not change. The bottom icon temporarily shows a slide show and then switch back to solid in seconds by itself. It was working fine before the update. Once I connected after the reboot, the bottom just went blue. I tried all different background options and the only one that works are solid colors. I can change the color scheme, but can't get images to display. How the background slide show to work after Microsoft updates? Y at - there an update I can remove it to restore the function?

I was able to fix the problem by replacing the "TranscodedWallpaper.jpg" file and clear the contents of the file "slideshow.ini" in my... Directory of \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes. Not sure that is actually solved the problem. I deleted the "TranscodedWallpaper.jpg" file and replaced with an image file. I selected all (cntl-a) in the ini file, even if it looked empty, delete the entire contents and saved. Then I closed all Windows Explorer Windows and the background went to the image. Then I was able to pick my theme with background transitions and it worked.

Obviously, updates of windows which took place on 14/02/13 caused one or more of these files to become corrupted.

I hope this helps someone else.

  • laptop keyboard stopped working after Windows update.

    have a toshiba satellite A505 laptop and the keyboard stops working after Windows Update reboots. We reinstalled Windows 7, which fixed the problem until the updates have come. Now the keyboard is unresponsive. Sounds like a software problem, no material. Also checked the keyboard drivers that are up to date.

    As a first response, go to the control panel, device, keyboard, keyboard Manager and right click, uninstall it and let it rediscover Windows and then reinstall it.

    It suits it much of the time.

  • After Windows Update: Start, taskbar, toolbar, tools, etc., have disappeared. Disabled Task Manager, programs don't run, etc, etc.

    My multi-monitor desktop Win XP through a long Windows update yesterday. Starting this morning, button bar and try to start at the bottom of the screen are no longer present. My table of multi-monitor configuration has changed radically in view/settings. All the tabs on the Task Manager are missing - with the exception of the processes tab. All keyboard and mouse commands have been disabled. To restart, I had to unplug the computer from power. Restart twice again obtained the same results. As there was no apparent way to start programs and features in Windows (Control Panel, Windows Explorer, Manager tasks, etc.) I resorted to a Safe Mode system restore after snatching the lead for the third time.

    It seems that a system restore is the only cure for this, and I started this operation. Updates of various sellers require me to use to restore the system several times each month.  I learned to fear the automatic updates for fear that they will cost hours and days of recovery since the "cure" for other ailments that are not obvious to me. The last update all deleted antivirus controls volume and their icons. I have still not got their back. But I digress...
    My questions:
    What I've done wrong?
    Should I disable updates?
    How can I make sure that the updates stop disabling my computer?
    What are your recommendations to repair the damage?
    Thank you.

    Hi Craig,.

    Follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1:

    I would say you turn off the automatic updates (not recommended however) and install the updates manually ensuring that you will refrain from any installation problem causing updates unless it says "important updates.

    a. log in Windows XP to your administrator account. Click 'Start', then right-click "My computer" and select "Properties".
    b. Select the "Automatic updates" tab and then click on "Turn off automatic updates."
    c. click 'OK' to turn off the automatic updates.

    Step 2:

    You can also test the issue in a State of clean boot in safe mode (after installing updates).

    Note: Don't forget to restart your computer as usual.

    And some information for you about Windows updates:

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

    You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

  • Good question after Windows update on Satellite P100 PSPA3E

    I encountered a problem with my sound card after a Windows Update. It became an old analog tuner with problems of dust on his volume knob. (this is a reference "sounds like" for those old enough to remember) I updated the driver to the most recent DriverGuide.com, no joy.

    I even did a complete system restore "with the"product restore disk."" Which fixed the problem until Windows updated the right files for trash again. I don't know what files do the dirty on my card since most of the windows system updates are performed while I "continue to work! Anyone with ideas?

    Thank you

    JD

    Hello

    What operating system do you use? XP or Vista?

    Satellite P100 PSPA3E must use a sound chip Intel high definition audio Conexant CX20551-22.

    I recommend to remove the sound card in Device Manager after installing Windows updates.
    Then restart the computer and install the latest audio drivers available that support the sound chip HD Conexant CX20551-22.

    First of all, you should try to use the driver for the Toshiba page. If this does not work, check the Intel page!

    Hi jlm00926,

    ·        Update that you installed before the problem?

  • Problems after Windows Update on Vista wireless

    It seems that other people have a similar problem, but I'll post this new...
    I've been running Windows Vista Ultimate on my Toshiba laptop for years without any problems.  Earlier this year, I started seeing issues after Windows updates.  The main problem is that after updates Windows, my wireless network is is more noticed and the wireless card (which was installed on the computer, and never had problems before) is not recognized.  I manually installed updated drivers with no luck.  The only thing that has worked is to do a system restore to a point before the updates.  The problem seems to be related to an update in general, I can't uninstall.

    I find it extremely ironic that I have no problems with Vista until Windows 7 is launched. First of all, it's the wireless card, then a problem with a driver graphics card (apparently... which seems to be fixed now) and return to the wireless card.  Should I expect to continue to have problems unless I upgrade to Windows 7?  I can't continue to spend half of my day trying to fix my computer after an update that is supposed to fix the errors, but I don't like the feeling that I am forced to upgrade.

    Hi dabaum77,

    From your post, it seems that the issue was occurring when Windows updates are installed automatically again even after the restoration of the system and that is why I suggest to restore the system again to a point before the updates and download and install Windows updates manually.

     
    Access the link below
    Follow these steps to disable the automatic updates:
     
    1. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    2. in the left pane, click on change settings.
    3. under important updates, choose the option you want.
    4. under recommended updates, select the Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates check box, and then click OK. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Install the updates one by one and check the update is causing the problem to occur. If the problem persists due to a particular update, repeat the process and refrain from settling the problem causing the update to.

    You can also check the update problem in Windows Update history.
     
    Follow the steps to check which day caused the issue:
     
    1. open the control panel (all items view), and click the Windows Update icon.
       
    2. click on the link to view update history.
      
    3. to view the details of a single Windows Update-
    (A) select and right-click on a Windows Update list, and then click details.

    (B) click on close when finished.
     
     
    You can also uninstall the update that is causing the problem to occur, although it is not recommended.
     
    1. to uninstall a Windows Update, you must go to programs and features. There are several ways to find it. One of the simplest is to use the search box on the start menu.
     

    2. in the programs and features, click the link updates installed.
     

     
    3. after a few seconds, Windows Vista will load the list of installed updates. Scroll down the page until you find the update you want to delete, select it with the mouse and then click on uninstall.
     

     
    4. Windows Vista will ask you to confirm that you want to uninstall the update you selected. Click Yes and the uninstall process will begin.
     

     
    5 depending on the size of the update, the uninstall process may take from several seconds to several minutes.
     


    6. wait for the window above will disappear and, if necessary, restart your PC. The update is now deleted.
