have we not back up our data to an external device before the update to windows 8.1.

update to windows 8 8.1 will affect the data in the laptop...

@swati90

If you upgrade from the Microsoft Store, your applications, data office and personal will not be deleted.

If you're updating with an ISO will always give you the opportunity to register personal files.

Error on prudence, I like so I will say that it is not a bad idea to back up important data to an external drive before the upgrade.

    IPad disabled with thousands of pictures of children that are not backed up with iTunes or icloud. Recommendations for the recovery of photos please?

    Sorry, but if your device is disabled and you have no backup, then you won't be able to save the data on the device:

    You should back up your device regularly to iCloud or import your photos to an application on your computer. Otherwise, you will be risking losing those photos. If your device has been lost, stolen, or crushed by your car, you'd be in the same situation. Really sorry for your photos.

  • I now have a problem with the update for Windows Live Essentials 2011

    I don't understand how it happened, but maybe someone could enlighten me?

    First of all, I was informed of an update for Microsoft Security Essentials. So of course, I did the update because I didn't want to be protected.

    I don't know if this is related somehow. I think that my update understood also as a Windows Live Essentials package. When I checked my e-mail and instant messaging, I noticed that the format has changed, and now, I think it's the new WLM 2011.

    It may seem very nice and put up-to-date, but it caused a series of serious problems for me. Let me explain:

    First of all, I must clarify that I am disabled and use the speech recognition, Windows speech recognition Dragon NaturallySpeaking both, because I can't use my hands.

    In the original WLM before the update, if I were using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, I was able to dictate with great ease and had no problem. If I wanted to then send the email I would say just 'send' and e-mail would go. With WLM 2011, if I say that now, it does not work.

    It's just a problem that I have. The next problem is much larger. In some cases, Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech recognition will not work and I can't dictate anything. I then have to close WLM completely and then open it again. Then only, it'll work. This happens many times and it's very frustrating, as you can imagine for someone like me.

    Forgive me for saying, it may seem very well with all the new bells and whistles there, but it makes my life a misery at the moment. In my view, there are a lot of bugs that need to be sorted out first with her.

    My question is, can I go back to the original WLM somehow until the update meets my needs? Can I go back to the status quo when WLM 2010 worked well with speech recognition for me?

    If so, can someone tell me how to do what you please?

    If not, then how am I supposed to use these features now?

    Thank you

  • my wireless does not work when I download the update for Windows Vista (KB2753842) security

    After an automatic download of Windows security update my wireless card did not work. He could not find a wireless networks that she normally

    the fact. When I used a LAN cable I internet connection.
    When I did a system restore to exclude the update of Windows my wireless card security worked perfectly.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium - all user accounts have disappeared after the update of Windows...

    My Windows 7 Desktop is really watered.  After a Windows automatic update, none of the user accounts appear in the login window.  Only a generic connection where you will need to enter the user and the password are displayed.  And when I enter the user name and password, I get a message that they are not valid.

    Here are a few additional pieces of information:

    1. I tried to restore to the point before the update, but it fails.  I get a message that there are missing files.

    2. my other restore points I had before the update are no longer available.  I don't know what happened to them that they do not appear on the screen of restore points.

    3. I can't log on to the computer at all, none of the accounts work.  I can get to a command prompt by using the repair disk, and I can see all the folders for the users.  So everything is intact.   Something must have happened to some system files and thus connect is not possible.

    4. users appear in the list of profiles in the registry.

    5. no windows service start because none of the users are no longer valid.

    6. I tried sfc/scannow, but I get an error "already waiting.

    7. I tried to add users on the command line using net and they are successful but even when they do not appear on the login screen and I can't manually type in these user accounts - I get the message that they are not valid.

    I tried searching online and I'm still not able to connect to the computer.  It has been 2 days of downtime.  What happened to my old restore points?  And why doesn't my restore points created by the work of windows update?

    I want to just restore from factory default, but I'm afraid I'll lose data in particular, all of the files currently sitting in the user folders.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Here are a few comments:

    1. I tried to restore to the point before the update, but it fails.  I get a message that there are missing files.

    -> Which files are missing? Can you give an example?

    2. my other restore points I had before the update are no longer available.

    -> This happens after the automatic updates.

    5. no windows service start because none of the users are no longer valid.

    -> How to tell you, because you were unable to connect?

    7. I tried to add users on the command line using net and they are successful but even when they do not appear on the login screen and I can't manually type in these user accounts - I get the message that they are not valid.

    ->, I guess you have done this so that in the WRE (repair Windows environment). It is a ghost environment that disappears that you restart the system. Drive X: is a virtual, not a real disc.

    I want to just restore from factory default, but I'm afraid I'll lose data in particular, all of the files currently sitting in the user folders.

    -> Many people are unaware of the need for regular backups (for example, weekly) until they are suffering from a major disaster.

    Suggestions

    Going by your description, I suspect that your existing accounts are irreparable. They need to be rebuilt. User data appear to be safe.

    Option 1. Use the console commands then in WRE to save all the files of the user on an external hard drive. A disk 2.5 "500 GB in a USB enclosure costs less than $60,00. After having tested the files on another machine, perform a destructive factory restore.

    Option 2. Start the computer with a boot of Ubuntu CD, then its GUI allows to save files to the user. It takes time to burn such a CD, but the copy process is easier. When you're done, do a factory restore.

    Option 3. A somewhat complex process allows you to create a new admin account, and then use this account to create new user accounts. You must then manually configure each of them (for example Outlook) and move their records of the old data to the new profile folders.

    There is also a method to restore old files registry of a set of backup files are a few days old. In your case I wouldn't consider as it would create a disjoint system: the registry files refers to a set of files that have been largely modified by the update.

    Post again if you need more detailed instructions for the option that you favor.

  • After the updates of Windows 7 computer does not start

    I received a notice from the system Windows 7 updates have been downloaded and available for installation. I selected the installation of updates. After the updates when installed I was in charge to restart. The computer will not start at the top. It tries but stops at a blue screen with a cursor. I tried to boot into "safe mode" and get the same. I booted from my original Windows 7 disc and I went back to my restore point before the update. It appeared to restore successfully but I still get a blue screen.
    What is my next course of action? I certainly DON'T want to format the drive and start again.

    The only thing I can say is that I know that you will not like to hear.

    It is to re - install Windows 7 (do not enter the product key and uncheck the 'Activation').

    Then immediately turn off automatic updates.

    Then, go to the Microsoft Update site and only install one update at a time (make a note of the number KBXXXXXX), restart and check that you do not get the blue screen. Then download the next update and repeat the process until you either find to have installed the offending update or updates without any problem. If all goes well and the problem did not repeat, then you can activate Windows.

    If you find yourself always with the blue screen after a given Update call Microsoft and tell them. If they won't listen, then create a new post on this forum, making reference to the question of the blue screen AND the number associated with the update. Also post the number here if I can do some research on the problem.

  • After the update of Windows CD/DVD drive does not work

    After windows automatically updated on my windows system 8, my CD/DVD drive no longer recognized discs. It will rotate when you close the disc drive as if he tried to recognize and initialize the disc, but then it will do nothing. When you go in my computer it doesn't even say that there is a hard drive available.

    In device manager has a yellow triangle with a '!' in the middle on the DVD/CD drive. When I click on drive properties and check the updates on the disk, it indicates that the drivers are up to date. Drive is MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ8C0.
    Y at - it a fix for this problem? For some reason my system does not restore automatically save it before the update or the other so I can not on a point system. Help, please.

    Try to remove the GEARAspiWDM entry.

    To remove the GEARAspiWDM entry double-click UpperFilters and, under value data, delete GEARAspiWDM > OK

    Create a system restore point beforehand and restart the computer after.

    However, if you have an application that uses the GEARAspiWDM, like iTunes, just install the latest version of hardware drivers (4.020.5) and that no changes to the registry:

  • Is no longer able to install windows updates after factory reset (windows service exception / failure set up the updates of windows roll back)

    After you install all the following updates occurs after a reboot:

    - Or directly a system service exception.

    These problems are solveable by a system restore to a point that has no updates.
