KB976002 (browser choice app) uninstall on Windows 8

well, I had this coming... so I hid this pointless update, but after installation of Media Center on my Windows 8 Pro KB976002 is installed with the WMC or after that (in which case my "hide" obtained order ignored) - either way, it's a MS messup side, not the user

However, the biggest problem is that this bloody update can not be uninstalled by conventional means - in the section windows updates, there is not an uninstall option, the app has not an uninstall option, run wusa.exe/uninstall kb:976002 gives me the finger saying update can not be removed , because IT IS NECESSARY (Please make me laugh more)

Please tell me how KB976002 can be uninstalled (and no, I do not accept "it cannot be" for a response)-unfortunately I do not have a system restore date to get rid of this embarrassing piece of...

THX,

Adam dancso

I can´t MS belive still does these things. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run and remove the entry from the browser choice.

    Sorry for the long cuff. After that Windows Update found this update, I chose to install it, but there is no sign of a shortcut from where I could choose between different browsers and no screen appears where I was supposed to do the same thing. My system is:

    Did you already have firefox or another browser besides IE by default when you install the browser choice?
    If yes then the ballot screen will not appear.

  • I uninstalled the App STore of Windows 8 (and some others). How do I get it back?

    I uninstalled the APP STORE of WINDOWS 8 (and some others). How do I get it back?

    Thank you very much! It is very easy to find. I also discovered that just by clicking you will find a lot of information - for instance if you right click on to the bottom in the left corner, where the Start button should be, a menu will appear with Control Panel, search, run and all sorts of things. If you right-click on any web page a menu will appear, much like with a print on file menu, save as, send to and more. If you right-click on the search bar (top) charms button all programs on your computer will display. Maybe Windows 8 is not if badly but sometimes I can't find an arrow to the left or even the task bar or the address bar and it's still boring. I also hope that the Start button was left where it has been for twenty years with all programs, etc. Well, I guess that's what they call progress... Thanks for your help - I am really grateful for this forum

  • Update of reported to the need by MBSA in the United States Europe browser choice

    We need each month of security reports on our computers for security audits. This process is the race of MBSA on them. MBSA has early reports various computers such as demanding KB976002, the update of the European Microsoft browser choice. Each month, we will have 1 or 2 additional computers reporting like that suddenly in need. A branch shows all except a title in need. It started with one who need a year ago.

    We're under XP SP3 on all computers. All are in the United States in the midwest. All of them are desktop computers and are never has left the buildings and the country. All have everything in the set of locales in the United States, English or English (United States). All of them are on the correct time zone. If we run Microsoft Update, it does NOT show the update as being necessary. MBSA only shows and only on some computers.

    Our security audit of the sort reports now see the numerouse computers as being "At risk", by MBSA reports. How do we get this corrected?

  • Please free App Firefox for Windows Phone.

    Please free App Firefox for Windows Phone.Thanks

    The very low market share with Windows Phones, it is not worth to spend money and essential resources to make a mobile version of Firefox for these devices.

    Mozilla has versions for Windows Mobile starts a few years ago but as would have stopped due to low users.

    http://www.windowscentral.com/just-1-market-share-why-are-OEMs-choosing-Windows-10-mobile

    Initially when Mozilla experimented with a mobile browser they did with Windows mobile OS while she was Minimo. Mozilla later changed to Android as the platform for mobile Firefox.

  • I get the 0x80072ee2 error code when I try to download apps from store Windows.

    Original title: can not download on windows store.

    My Windows Mail app stopped working, so I deleted and tried to download a new one. Then, after a while, I get a message: can't install, error 0x80072ee2

    Had the same Message on other applications too

    Can someone help me with this?

    Not sure if this will help, but my wife became the circle of perpetual rotation trying to launch the app store in Windows 8. We loaded 8.1 to Windows, and then always the same error except that we started having error 0x80072ee2 when it would be dismissed. After trying the "WSReset" and powershell scripts and many other suggestions that I found online, I finally found the cause.

    While the application screen is in place (not), go to right and make appear the parameters. Choose Change PC settings. Then choose network, then choose Proxy. There is a point 8.1 of Windows setting which is "use a proxy server". For us who turned and he should not have been. Turned it off and the app store expenses very well now.
    We could browse internet and other property before this change. The only behavior was that we couldn't get the app store to load.
    Hope this helps you and or other.
    Thank you

  • During the closure after a browsing session I find several windows behind the window of the main browser I have not opened and they must be closed individually. What is the cause and how can I stop it?

    During the closure after a browsing session I find several windows behind the window of the main browser I have not opened and they must be closed individually. What is the cause and how can I stop it? Edit

    These windows display ads? They could be 'pop-under' designed to show when you are finished with your main window. Orbitz has these, for example. Irritating. I'm not sure of the best solution, i.e., advertising blocker blocker vs.

    If they are not ads, can you think anyway that they are related to the sites you visit?

    In addition, to close a tab (or window, if there is only one tab), you can press Ctrl + w. could speed up the process of their release until you find a real solution.

  • I have this search browser "inbox" which blocked in windows Explorer. Any ideas on how to remove it?

    Original title: malware

    I have this search browser "inbox" which blocked in windows Explorer. Any ideas on how to remove it?

    Hi Perry,

     
    1. What is the operating system installed on your computer recently?
    2. What do you mean by "I have this search browser"inbox"which blocked in windows Explorer?
     
     
    If you think that your computer contains viruses, you can search for viruses using the Microsoft Safety Scanner, and then check if it helps.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
