• Windows update caused catastrophic hdd failure?

  I installed the update of windows the other day to return to find the catastrophic hard drive failure. I've never had problems with this computer before. I wonder if anyone has had similar problems. I lost a lot of work, the photos that I'm never going back.

  Is it possible that windows update caused this hard drive failure?

  Hello

  Windows updates won't cause failure catastrophic hdd. In addition, I would like to let you know that hard drives are mechanical devices with moving parts, so they are subject to wear and tear expected. It may possibly do not mechanically at a given time. However, most of the manufacturers branded their product with an average (usually supplied by total number of operating hours). But if a part is defective or there is some manufacturing defects, service life of the drive, a bit more in as little as a day.

  Other factors are primarily external in nature. Mounted sudden power can cause a drive failure, as can cause fire or damage, as well as a number of computer viruses of water. Exposure to high levels of magnetism can disrupt the classic functions of a player, as well as net impacts. If dust gets in a car, it can become a catalyst for an eventual failure.

  Thank you.

• Windows Update causes freeze/Crash

  The latest version of windows (25 August) crashed my laptop under Vista and now it only works in safe mode. If I reset it to 20:00 on August 24, it works fine, then it executes the same update process and crashes again (3 times now) and now I am in safe mode. What is going on? How I have difficulty / stop?

  Hello

  Set Windows Update to download but not install updates. You can then use a process of elimination
  to see who is causing the problem. Sometimes just install them one at a time solves the problem.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows Update causes glass/aero turns off. How to restore?

  I am currently running windows 7 Professional, and today an automatic update of windows has been installed on shutdown.  After reboot, I lost the aero glass look and it is replaced instead of greyish blue bars.  Using the system restore I can go back to glass, but as soon as the update installs again once he goes.  In any case to return the glass?

  Hello

  Do your restore and then after reboot immediately do the following:

  Configuration-Windows Updates - settings - updated Panel assigned to download but not install so that you can select
  for install or click right on and HIDE as needed. Don't forget if you restore to before these values are set
  Next, you need to put it back again. If you are sure that the question is clear, you can assign their automatic return.

  You can also update video (display driver) with this method and updated 1 AUTO driver
  immediately after the above (why and how are below) even if you only do not put in manually day
  the pilot.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause

• Windows Update Causes Massive screw-up system. Help!

  Hello world!

  I need help desperately. I use a HP Slimline desktop running Vista. I've recently updated (last Tuesday or more) using UPDATES AUTOMATIC - and my computer everything is SCREWED now.

  Essentially - I installed the update as part of the shutdown process, as I normally would. But restart my computer, it gets regarding the screen before the log-in (when he has this loading bar bit and the rest of the screen is black). Momentarily, one of two things happens:

  1. blue screen of death. The computer turns off, tells me to reboot and try to restart in Mode without failure.

  2. Startup Repair launches. I ran the diagnostic tool, but it has not detected any problem.

  So pretty much the problem is that WINDOWS WILL NOT BOOT. In the Startup Repair, it tells me there is no problem with anything - but it also TELLS me THAT SYSTEM RESTORE has BEEN STOP on my computer. I do not disable this feature!

  I have all my files stored on my external hard drive - however, my computer does not recognize this drive. My wireless internet, which is usually given if my computer is turned on or not, also does not work.

  I'm totally screwed? I mean, I've never used to before startup repair and it is confusing, mostly because I do not know why the system restore does not work. I CANNOT LAUNCH MODE without FAILURE or any other useful tips from Windows.

  What can I do? Help, please.

  the computer had McAfee installed as a trial when I bought it. Have since renewed - subscription is up to date, and no problems have been associated with him other than he identify some of my updates of windows as spyware.

  1 applications McAfee (and Norton) are known to not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. Even on the assumption that you have purchased a subscription before the free trial period has expired, there is a good chance that "remnants" of the trial caused the version purchased, renewed not to install and work properly.

  2. the fact that the application of McAfee is supposed to be identify legitimate (assumed) updates to Windows as"spyware" is certainly the evidence to me that the application of McAfee was not "works" and therefore led to the infection of W32/Alureon rootkit you are dealing with now.

  To be clear as possible, your problems are not due to the installed KB977165 itself, they are due the KB977165 have installed on an already infected computer. [1]

• Windows Update Causes startup problem

  I have an interesting problem with Windows Update (or apparently is from Windows Update). I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, if that info is needed. There are two updates I have not install, as I am not sure that is the cause. The updates in question are Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Defender definitions 1.63.604.0. Here's what's happening.

  When you restart after Windows updates, the computer starts with a black screen with a mouse pointer. That's all. Happened every time I tried to start after the pdates. I can reboot into SafeMode very well, is apparently a problem driver or update.

  I also installed DivX on the computer, but it seemed to work as I could watch .avi via WMP thereafter, so I excluded. I thought that if there was a problem with it, it would not have worked in the first place, but I thought it was interesting.

  In any case, the only solution I found doing a system restore and do not install updates day or DivX, since technically I don't know which is the cause. I had to restore the system 3 times already and I didn't continue to do because this computer was very expensive and I don't want to ruin the hardware or something.

  Someone knows something about an error with updates, or perhaps with DivX that may have caused this. The computer works fine without the updates or DivX, I just want to know what could be the real problem so if it is only one of the 3, I can install the other two at least.

  Change your update settings, install the updates one at a time, hide the problem:

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

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

  In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

  > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

  When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

  > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

  See you soon.

• Windows Update causes internet connection to stop working

  I installed the recommended Vista updates last night and this caused my internet connection, to stop working.  This has happened to both of my HP laptops.  I was able to work around this problem by going to a previous restore point but worry about future updates, causing the same problem.  Please notify.

  Hello

  Use a wired connection to download the latest drivers or download on another computer
  and transfer them to this one on removable media such as CD, DVD or USB drives.

  Control Panel - device - networks - WiFi - Manager write down of the brand and model, and then double-click
  on the drivers Tab - get the version number. Then double click on update drivers (this can do nothing
  that MS is far behind the drivers of certification). Then make a right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
  will update the driver stack.

  Now, go to the system manufacturer and search for updated drivers, this will be your fallback. Then go to the Site of the manufacturer of the device
  and look for the even more recent drivers.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put the driver - CLICK RIGHT to it - RUN AS ADMIN
  (repeat on the site of the manufacturer of the device)

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Windows Update causes high CPU AND not let me install Windows 10

  Windows 7 update has several issues:

  1 Windows Update Service causes the CPU usage high - CPU usually works 50% or more with a single SVCHOST.exe running.  I click with the right button on the SVCHOST entry in Task Manager-processes and saw all the services that SVCHOST is still running.  One at a time, I stopped and restarted them.  Finally, when I stopped the Windows Update service, the cpu immediately fell to almost nothing.  I rebooted and tested several times, and each time, it was Windows Update service that was causing the high CPU.

  2. Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor says I could upgrade to Windows 10, and get the icon Windows 10 is in the toolbar.  But it has failed to install several times.  Now, after stopping and restarting the service of updating (and I checked, it is started), the window get Windows 10 rises, is empty and goes.

  3. I ran the Update Diagnostic and got 1 error:

  Windows Update error 0 x 80070003(2016-04-04-T-04_56_09P)

  the Details of the Diag Windows Update window said:

  RootCause: RC-DataStore

  Error code: 0 x 80070003

  4. I tried to launch the 'Fixit' for update, but it did nothing.

  5. I tried to update Windows Update WindowsUpdateAgent30 - x 64 .exe Agent,

  but it fails with this message:

  "Windows Update Agent Installer has met a fatal error"

  6. when I try to start Windows Update-check for updates, it displays the dialog box "check for Updates" and activity indicator green runs and runs and runs for more than 10 minutes but nothing happens.  And when I check the view update history, it shows no updates, even though I know that I've run a LOT of updates in recent years.

  7. I thought to reinstall Windows 7.  I went to download from Microsoft, and when repair installation it activated my key it says that it wasn't a retail version, so check with the supplier (in this case HP).  I checked with HP and they said that this machine was is no longer supported.

  8. on the way I've renamed the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution-Windows SDOLD, force it to create a new (probably why it does not find the old updates).  IT did not help.

  So it seems to me this machine is expandable to 10 Windows (it meets the specifications and the Advisor to update Windows-10 said yes and installed the toolbar).  But something is wrong, probably with Windows Updater, and now nothing will be update or upgrade.  And I can't get a new copy of Windows 7.

  So, any thoughts?  I'm out of ideas.

  All I can say is to ensure that you have the latest Net framework installed manually 4.6.1

• Window update causing problems of printer driver

  Hi, I have a laptop running XP and router wireless computer (WAG54G) and a set of HP6380 in one. About 2 nights ago an update to Windows Installer by himself and rebooted the laptop (even though I have some turned off automatic updates what they seem to be screwing with anything these updates produce still grr)...

  I went to try and print and to found the 6380 was absent from the list of available printers... The problem is not with the wireless network (as it is trendy and functional). I don't know what it does the update of windows... but when I tried to reinstall the drivers for this printer from the disc, he acknowledged that they were already installed... So I uninstalled them instead (and it is taken up only parts of the driver remained and he removed these pieces).

  Then I tried to do a fresh driver... install that took a long time because it got stuck at the end... Finally, he came up with an error and so I tried to introduce him, HP - and received click on a desktop icon... (Icon HP - XP Installation). I tried it but it tells me to 1) Reinstall driver (done twice -) solve printing problems wireless (not a problem at this point given that I have no printer driver and I can use the network wireless for other things very well) well tried anyway... or 2

  Anyone has any suggestions please > in the past when Windows updates have caused problems, I used the system restore to roll back, but this is only a temporary solution - as Windows insists on the updates I want!

  Thank you very much!

  If you have the original HP software CD, look in the folder of the ccc/utils for a L3_unintsall (or similar).  Run for an uninstall very full.

  Reset.

  Now, download the latest version of the software for your printer from the "Support & Driver" link at the top of this page.  DO NOT reinstall from the CD (a good rule is in general not the CDs software, but to go to the website of the manufacturer for the latest and best).

• "Laserjet 1022n Windows Update", causing problems printing: print jobs do not print

  Hello

  A few days ago I installed upgrading Windows Laserjet 1022n on my Windows 7 64 bit and since then I can not print a page normally: the page does not print. I use a TCP/IP network port.

  I made several attempts to resolve this problem:

  -uninstall the printer driver and install it again (I tried the latest version on the HP site and an older one that worked perfectly before)

  -update the firmware of the printer to the latest version on the HP site.

  When I put the printer in pause and start the print job, you can see in the list. Resumption of the printer, printing starts on the printer but you see that the job remains in the list, flashes again and again. The printer keeps printing the same page.

  I don't know what I can do to solve this problem. There is no way to uninstall the update of the HP Laserjet 1022n software because it does not appear in the list of installed programs (course list is also op updates from windows updates).

  I have same problem printing to the same printer from another PC Windows 7 (with the same windows update done)

  But I have no problem printing with my laptop on an other network printers.

  Is there someone who has the same problem and how to solve?

  Thank you for answer

  I found the solution on this site: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/59912-29-1022n-printer-stop-printing

  Just uncheck the chekbox "enable two-way communication" on the "Ports" tab of the properties of the printer and it works normally again!
