-made a clean boot

-check updates

-disabled firewall

-off spooler printing and Bluetooth service at the same time ending explorer.exe, restart explorer.exe and activated the two services to auto again.

-tried to use different profiles

Specifications of the computer:

  • Win 7 Prof 64 bit, devices and printers Control Panel does not load

    When I try to open the devices and printer Panel, it opens initially but shows not all devices. The status bar at the top slips slowly into overall but never reaches the end to load completely. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of all my printer drivers (using the manufactures installation routines. Research in various forums talk about start/stop the bluetooth services, but none of this helps.

    I created another user account and when I connect it, devices and printers opens OK.

    I could live with that if it wasn't for the fact that I can't disconnect safely from my drive external hard usb. When I right click on the icon "safely remove hardware and eject Media" on my task bar the only option I have is 'Open devices and printers' and then I'm back to my original problem. The list of the menu I receive when I right click on the drive in WIndows Exploxer does not include a choice of ejection (it does for a flash drive, but not my hard drive).
    (I have a laptop with Win 7 64 bit installed and it shows devices connected when I right click on the icon "safely remove...) »).

    I tried to turn off nonMicrosoft al and restart services but still having the same problem. In the past, I had run CCleaner to clean the registry (no, I did not indicate a restore point) and I saw on a forum how that could have created the problem. I have since deleted CCleaner

    I use Avast Antivirus, Windows firewall, SnagIt and Cobian backup. Short of re - install Win 7 (please, no) or by creating a new user and all displacement there (not even sure how to do this) is anyone know how to fix this? Or at least how I can safely disconnect my drive hard usb without messing up his data?

  • Devices and printers don't is not loading

    I spent a ton of time to solve this problem. I mean I followed every forum thread, including the Bluetooth service, got the Windows patch that works not etc. Here's what happens:

    1. in the services there that the Services of the Bluetooth Support - now started auto value. I understand there should be also Bluetooth Service that one is missing. I followed a thread that suggested registry check if Bluetooth is there and yes it is.

    2. I played with spooler service stop / start on cmd. When the spooler is stopped, I can see devices and printers and all in this window. But then I can't print, add printers or other devices :(

    3. I ran into the cmd file check sfc/scannow - all files, check and good.

    4. has obtained the fix for this problem here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2486635?wa=wsignin1.0 not good either

  • Windows 7 freezes for the right click devices and printers don't is not loading

    I support for a local photography studio and built all of their computers. One of their photo editing machines faced some weird problems I can't solve.

    It is currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. About two months ago the mainly the user complained that a right-click on a folder or a file on the desktop would cause the computer to freeze. She also noted that devices and printers would not have been responsible. We finally just did a clean install of Windows, and that seemed to fix the problem...

    .. .for a while.

    About two weeks, the same two problems returned, now it is intermittent. The user declares every morning, she has him restart the computer several times, but then everything works very well for the rest of the day. But while it comes in the next morning, and it does the same thing.

    I tried manually reset the BIOs, turn on Bluetooth Services (even if that computer does not all bluetooth devices) and play with Windows registry a bit, but because the problem is not compliant, it is very difficult to solve.

    I don't know if it's a hardware or a Windows problem. All the tracks would be greatly appreciated!

    Check the report viewer for all errors that occur.

  • Devices and printers suspendusent/Print Spooler error causing printing issues

    Hello fellow forum participants and Rangers.

    As of recent, I had questions on our servers with regard to printing problems.  The problem would be to randomly appear and disappear without notice.  I tried to diagnose the problem by activating the event handler, but the event handler was not able to provide any specific error in addition "a timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a response from the spooler service transaction.  Whenever I try to open "devices and printers", the window would without constantly/eventually without loading anything.  I would also add that the problem starts when the user connecting.

    I tried the things:

    (1) sometimes restarting the PC would magically make it work.

    (2) restart Printerspooler fix the problem

    (3) automatic setting rather than manual Bluetooth function has failed.  (has worked for most of the people similar/same problem).

    (4) we tried to reload the drivers.  Temporary solution, but the printing problem happen again.

    Any help would be highly appreciated and sorry for the wall of text.  This question led me into the wall!  Thanks in advance.

  • Windows folder instead of the Officejet 6500 icon icon has more E710n in devices and printers

    Can someone help me get the OfficeJet 6500 has more e710n printer to display correctly in devices and Printers icon?

    I have recently reinstalled Windows 8.1.  However, when I installed my printer, the printer icon in devices and printers, I get a generic Windows yellow folder icon.  The Fax icon is OK, just the printer icon is wrong.

    If I double click the icon, I get a blank page with a message near the top of the page saying: 'information updates are available on your device.  Click here to download or learn more. "If I click on the notice, a drop down menu appears with 'Download update of information' or 'Learn' more.  If I choose Update downloaded information, a new printer window appears which is often empty except for a message in the center of the window that says "no task is available on this page" to learn the most fair option gives me info on the update of drivers.

    The icon of the printer in the start menu is fine.

    I used HP Print and Scan Doctor uninstall and reinstall my printer, but it did not help.  The program finds a problem with the printer driver and the fixed, but that has not changed the icon either.

    I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit fully up to date and used the full version of the HP Installer for the printer (not the basic version) and HP Print and Scan v4.6 doctor.

    Hello

    Those are two logical printers, and you can use both:

    1. the first condition is connected to your WiFi network normally.

    2. the other is directly connected, you can print even when your network down.
