• Major update of Windows 7 = lost everything...

  Hey there.

  I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 ultimate installed on it. I recently did a huge update that had the little pop up at the bottom right of my screen saying something like: this is an important update, your computer will restart in 15 minutes. So I decided to do and went.

  When I came back, I lost everything... And I mean everything! I am a digital artist with photoshop CS5 and other programs, I had hundreds of photos and several paid and other programs... Went. It was as if I just bought a new laptop. With firefox and recycle bin on my background.

  If you know a way to get everything back, please let me know.

• Security Center and updates of Windows do not work on Vista laptop

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron with Vista 1405E.    The Security Center and Windows updates do not work.

  I ran Norton Utilities to clean the registry and I deleted Norton Antivirus (completely, following the instructions from Symantec on the phone), but nothing has changed.  Any suggestions on what could be the problem?

  Thank you

  Should I remove S * PERAantiSpyware from my computer?

  If it is not necessarily - free SAS, but if all were fine with your computer (and it's not!), you should not have installed SAS because MSE includes a component of anti-malware.

  Should I install the [definitions optional updates offered by Windows Update MSE]?

  You pouvez install them but this is not necessary - assuming that MSE is installed & working properly... but I suspect that this is NOT the case!  See this FAQ: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/74e507b8-f6da-4eca-8ce7-d1aca7d3f1ba

  [Microsoft] Security Essentials is related to the Security Center?

  Yes. Security Center monitors the status of the firewall, automatic updates and Protection against malware (anti-virus & anti-malware; applications i.e. Microsoft Security Essentials).

  Translation: Since the Security Center still cannot be permanently turned on, there is a very good chance that MSE and Windows Firewall will not work correctly - despite the fact that we have now managed to get the computer fully patched to Windows Update and despite the multi-step fix, I had to make.

  In your case, there are several possible causes for this behavior:

  1. your McAfee subscription and/or your previous subscription of Norton AntiVirus may have expired before that you did something;

  2. do not run the remove McAfee & Norton tools at the right time; or...

  3. misguided use of registry cleaners.

  So, what can you do about it?...

  OPTION A: MSE support could be able to help you. Residents of the United States (only!) should be able to open a support incident free of charge by e-mail via this page-online https://support.microsoftsecurityessentials.com/default.aspx?productkey=morrolaunch&mkt=en-us&st=1&wfxredirect=1

  Note: After selecting your option, language (e.g., English-US) and clicking the button CONTINUE, click on the EMAIL button, not the FORUM button!

  OPTION B (recommended): See the poster in this thread and follow the instructions of (my) WHOLE (to the letter and in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c44429fb-3f7c-4646-8529-5a97bb3cd0eb

  If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the local computer, reputable and independent (i.e., not a 'BigBoxStore' or Geek Squad!) computer repair shop & let them do the work.

  IMHO your computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

  Wish I had better news for you. Good luck!

• June 16 corrupt update of Windows Vista

  I lost internet access and most of the program window features (I'm running in safe mode, which is the only way to connect). The only change was the update of Windows that loaded on 15 June. I tried to restore to June 6, but nothing works. I spent hours trying to solve the problems, Windows programs keep hang up, but I don't get the error codes. I am running Vista SP1. I have a LinkSys Router (whose Windows no longer recognizes) with a Qwest DSL. I had a wireless network set up that worked until today (although I did have the computer since June 15). I have unplugged and plugged everything in and everything rebooted several times. No luck. I downloaded a malware that has found no bugs. In addition, I can't download Windows Defender because the scan MS says that my software is not genuine. I can't follow the instructions for the attachment of validation: the command 'net start slsvc' does not work in safe mode and command prompt does not run under Vista. Any ideas or do I have to pay someone to fix it?

  Thank you.

  Matt,

  Thanks for the info on the email... silly me.

  I tried to delete the KB, but Windows won't let me delete or recycle... I tried to move the files, but Windows won't let me... I thought that perhaps I did not program enough time, so I let him try to move a file of 25.5 KB for more than 5 minutes and I just the scroll bar as if trying green very hard, but not to succeed. I also tried to delete the files from the DOS prompt, but I get an "access denied" message and it wouldn't let me.

  It's been 4 days and I spent more than 10 hours trying different things to get the computer working again, so I'm giving and give to a professional. I guess I understand now why Vista is so unpopular. I never had any kind of problem with XP.

  Hi emiquestion:

  Long 'check for updates...' crashes and slow window updates are a currently a problem common to many users of Vista SP2 - please see the workaround suggested, I posted yesterday over BluesBlaster WINDOWS VISTA 32-BIT updates.

  Note that it is a temporary workaround and updates slow Windows will probably return each Patch Tuesday (the second Tuesday of the month) after Microsoft also releases a new batch of updates to security for Vista SP2 and IE9.  Since September 2016 Patch Tuesday updates are published tomorrow (13-Sep-2016), it would be wise to wait a day or two to execute step-by-step instructions posted on June 16, 2016, in m #l's thread of updates does not, he has been looking for updates for hours and save yourself a bit of extra work this month.  Dalai normally updates its list of Windows kernel mode driver (Win32K.sys) implemented to date required the same evening that the Patch Tuesday, updates are published by Microsoftto the http://wu.krelay.de/en/ .

• The PC HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15: Blurred and static Audio after update of Windows 10

  I was using Windows 10 quite a few months now with no problems. My sound has been clear until this morning when my computer automatically updated itself. After the update, I noticed that my sound (which worked perfectly fine before the update) was blurred and subdued, with a noise static when the music I listened to hit a higher mark. This had not happened before. Not until I've updated. So far, I checked to see if I need to update something new for my audio device in Device Manager, but I was told that everything is up to date.

  Previously, a few years ago I had a similar problem when updating from Windows 8, but rather my audio is completely out. Waiting to see if something like that happen again. I'm not sure what to do on my audio now, but I'm afraid to uninstall my sound card where I can bring him back despite says he's coming back. In addition, I don't know what to do for my specific product. I've read that many others have had similar problems, so if someone could help me I would be very grateful.

  Thank you in advance.

• OfficeJet 5745: Cannot print after update of Windows 10

  I've updated to Windows 10 and now have problems printing.  Help!  I've done all the troubleshooting, coil status stuff!  I'm used to be able to print from the internet, scanning to my computer or email and print wireless from my phone.  I now can not print anything!  I tried to install Windows updates.  Should what printer I configure default network or regular?  Use the printer pdf microsoft thing?  I am desperate... saved my bank statement online (pdf) to my documents and it would not print the Bank or my documents!  Before this I had problems after that my hard drive crashed and I got a new hard drive.   When my hard drive crashed I was using WINDOWS 10 and everything on the big printer worked; they sent back with new hard drive on windows 8.1 and I had I thought that the upgradew would solve the questions.   I could print and scan but no wireless for my phone on the new HDD in windows 8.1 and upgrade to 10 thought would solve my problems, but now it's worse... Help!

  Hi @savra,

  If your computer is connected to the printer on a wireless network, you do not want to send print jobs to the network printer.

  Here is a support document to help with printer after Windows 10 upgrade problems - after Windows 10 Upgrade, printer problems occur.

  Aside to make sure Windows updates are up to date, there are a few other updates that can help with printing.

  Microsoft has released an update that is supposed to help with wireless printing - Cumulative Update for Windows 10.

  There was also an update for Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge who can help get this impression of your bank's site - Update for Adobe Flash Player.

  Please let me know how it goes.
