Fear of the computer of the update after update failed.

I left my computer for about twenty minutes and returned to find a black screen.  Thinking that the computer had crashed, I rebooted it, just to see what he was doing in fact has been updated itself, and I interrupted this process.  (I thought that I had automatic updates disabled - ugh.)

After my computer restarted, all my apps/windows no longer appear on the start screen.  I can't search for apps and get the message "this application cannot be sought.  File associations are confused.  I have to open the Task Manager after restarting the computer just for glitch in showing my office because otherwise it stays on a blank screen.

What would be my best course of action?  I would simply click on the update button and take it as if by magic itself - but I'm terrified of losing all my work files.  I fly over files on an external drive to be sure, but I'm also afraid of losing the programs I work with that I literally had long and I don't know if I can reinstall them even.

I also read on doing a restore of the system, reset or refresh it?  All options are safer than the other?

Thank you very much!  I am currently using Windows 8.  I wouldn't mind updated to 10.

You need to download the iso file and upgarde your system. This file installs windows 10 and keeps all the files, software, applications, etc. Unless something fishy is going on. It didn't happen with me, so I guess that, this will not happen with you also.

  • 13.0 Firefox crashes on startup almost everytime. Thus, all of the updates fail because Firefox has to restart. What should I do?

    For the past several versions of Firefox (I think 10 or 11), I had a lot of trouble to get Firefox to start. I understand not all crash IDs. It just won't start not almost everytime. Ironically, I think to be able to get to doesn't start until I opened another browser such as Internet Explorer. Then, it will start until I close it. So I have to repeat the same process (opening another browser, then try to start Firefox) every time so he could start again. Now, the problem seems to have gotten a some worst bit with version 13.0. It cannot be updated because Firefox needs to restart to update. When he tries to turn on, he can't. When I finally get Firefox to work (after opening IE), I get a notification indicating that the update failed. I saw the notice on the Web site, but does not. It drives me crazy!

    You can also check your security software (firewall) because it does not yet acknowledge the new version of Firefox 13.0.1.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  • How to replace "apply downloaded update now" with "Check for Updates" in the menu help when the update fails because the downloaded update files are missing but the "Ready to install update" window keeps appearing?

    Question

    I have another type of problem with Firefox

    Description

    Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?

    Version of Firefox

    Windows XP

    You can manually reset the software update feature by closing Firefox and remove the file "updates" (which seems you have done) and the two files "active - update.xml" and "updates.xml" - these are in the installation (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) directory or in the profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default).

  • BlackBerry 10 when the update fails, where are the temporary files?

    Hello

    My phone was about 1 GB of available and did an automatic download of the 10.3.2. When I tried installing it says that I need an additional 480 megs. I tried to use the link to date, and it failed (with a msg saying that the update has been interrupted). Then, I deleted about 1 GB of data and tried again. Always has failed, but now I find myself with only 300 megs free.

    It seems that the update has eaten to the top of my storage somewhere, probably with temporary files, but I can't find them. Where can I look to see where these files are located so that they can be removed? Control of the storage of the device shows nothing out of the ordinary.

  • 8 place of Dell does not start after the update failed

    I had started my new Dell place 8 (with Android 4.2) for the first time, and it works pretty well. I was about to install some applications when I noticed "System update," tap to install. I did and it downloaded, rebooted and started to install with nothing do not appear to be wrong. I waited patiently to settle, and all at the end of the installation, he stopped and displays an error message - which amounted to a bot Android in a pose 'broke, closed, stwaming' and the message 'error '.

    And it has been frozen.

    I held down the power button to turn off and then repressed it see the logo of dell for a fraction of a second, and then a USB symbol for a fraction of a second, then it stops. This happens whenever I start.

    I tried to use Droidboot to reset the installation. I can get this to work, but after that I selected recovery it restarts and after the Dell logo gives me the error message 'pic of the Android dead' with the message "No command." This is an another freeze screen, I can't go further without having to reboot.

    What I want is this thing start, I don't like what version of Android, it runs at that time. Assistance to get the thing to start would be greatly appreciated. I won told the thing in a contest, I don't want to be the proud recipient of a brick.

    In this regard, it turns out that you don't have any loose! I discovered this by risking that it and it worked! I didn't not lose something unique on my tablet.

    Step 1 power off.

    Step 2: Press and hold the Power + flight to access Droidboot.

    Step 3: Choose Reboot or recovery (I chose the recovery! "I would say that recovery is the best option!)

    Step 4: When greeted by Dead Android, room hold press flight - up twice and a mini menu appears.

    Step 5: Select Restart now. In a few minutes, your device needs to be restored and booted up ready to go! Enjoy your Tablet without worry!

  • BlackBerry smartphone App I paid for the list disappeared after the update failed

    I suggest that you clear the cache of the AppWorld application:

    1. open the App World

    2. go to my world

    3. for the BB keyboard-oriented - hold down the ALT key and press on, in the sequence R, then S, then T

    3. for Storm/Pearl - hold the num-lock (! 123 button) so that it hangs and then press on, in the sequence 3, then 4, then)

    4. If your BB locks after issuing clear cache, do a battery pull reboot

    5. return to the AppWorld. Connect to MyWorld (if there is one) and try again.
