No sound, probably due to the update of windows

• No noise in web browsers, probably due to the update of windows

  Background-

  A week ago, my browser (firefox) has stopped playing all sounds. Spotify, Winamp, etc. were all still works fine, so I assume that it was not pregnant-related, but rather something to do with the browser. I checked the updates of the plugin, flash etc, everything was up to date. I tried another web browser (Google Chrome), same problem. I then tried the things usually offered on the internet such as checking msacm32.drv is present, check that nothing is cut in the mixer volume, also attempted to execute a file that fixed my registry, but I received an error. I also ran a codec tweak tool & who said everything was fine.

  I ran out of ideas so don't have a restored system about a week ago (about when I thought that the problem started), and voila, my sound was back.

  However, windows this morning updated itself (I'm on windows vista), and now my sound disappeared again. As I am quite computer illiterate, I am struggling to understand what is causing the problem.

  The installed updates today were:

• My Lotus iNotes will no longer send emails due to the update of windows

  My Lotus iNotes is no longer send emails, however still receives. I keep getting error messages. It's already happened and my work, IT supports the Office told me that it was due to a Windows security update, but my computer has recently updated its self, does anyone know what update would it?

  Hello

  1. What is the full/exact error message?

  2 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

  3 is specific to the program the issue?

  Initially check updates have recently been installed on the computer.

  See the Windows updates are installed

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/see-which-Windows-updates-are-installed

  Follow the steps and check if that helps.

  Method 1: To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

  Method 2: The problem can also be caused by your security such as anti-virus program that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable the anti-virus and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.
  Disable the antivirus software:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you should reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 3: System Restore -it takes the computer to the point when the problem did not exist. See if you can find a restore point right where the problem had not demonstrated upward.
  Reference http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

  What is system restore?
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore

  After restoring the computer to a previous point, you need to install the update, one at a time to verify the update is the cause of the problem.

  Let us know the status of the issue.

• Windows Vista crashes due to the update of windows

  I just reinstalled Windows Vista 32 bit on my Lenovo PC after experiencing problems due to a virus. However, during the execution of that Windows update, I started noticing problems because my computer would freeze randomly. Neither the mouse nor keyboard would allow me an entry stop properly or to restart the computer, so I had to cut the power, whenever this happens. on the way back - turn on the computer, I noticed that the operating system is trying to update something and fails or succeeds every time. I know not why this problem occurs because I have a decent amount of DDR2 RAM (2 GB) and have even stopped to try to alleviate the problem of automatic updates.

• Svchost.exe CPU / out max memory due to the update of Windows

  I'm having a problem with a svchost.exe process running the CPU at 100% and more than 200 000 K of memory.  The service seems to be related to Windows Update (PID 6408).  Is there any solution for this?

  Hi SF340_Driver,

  (1) you get an error message?
  (2) how did you get the information that the problem is related to Windows Update?

  Svchost.exe is a process on the computer that hosts, or contains, other individual services that Windows uses to perform various functions. For example, Windows Defender uses a service that is hosted by a svchost.exe process.

• Dell Vostro 1510 Audio has stopped working after the update of Windows Vista.

  Nice day!

  My computer (vostro 1510) began to revolt recently and I wonder if you could help me with this.

  Basically, last week I was talking to my friend on Skype when suddenly my computer restarted due to the update of Windows (I have Windows Vista Business 32-bit). After he turned his back, I realized that there is no audio from the speakers. I tried using headphones but still - no sound.

  Immediately, I went to the 'Sounds' menu and checked if my speakers were still 'active '. They have been.
  Next thing I decided to do was to reinstall the Realtek audio driver, however, did not help or the other. Since then, I tried to reinstall several times but, unfortunately, everything remained the same.

  Then, I thought that maybe something was wrong with my hardware, however, audio spent ALL Dell diagnostics audio tests (so my hardware is very good, yes?). I also tried "System Restore" option and returned to the point before the update... Nothing has changed!

  In addition, as far as I know, all the audio settings in Windows (checked in Registry Editor) are OK.

  What should I do now? My last hope is to completely reinstall the system, however, I decided to contact you first.

  Thanks in advance!

  Solved the problem by reinstalling the operating system.

  Thank you!

• HP EliteBook 850 G3: HP EliteBook 850 G3: its problems after the update of Windows 10 anniversary

  Hi people!

  After the update of Windows 10 birthday I have problems with my sound card. There are two sound cards listed by Device Manager. The first is "Conexant Audio of ISST" and the second "Intel High Definition Audio". I know not weather it was the case before the update. I just recognized it after the update when I had sound problems.

  In any case, on a sound start works on the other boot it does not work. It seems that Windows chooses the sound card, every time when it starts. Sometimes it takes the bad sound card.

  I tried to uninstall maps its and their resettlement. On the HP site, there is a driver for the Conexant map bot no driver for Intel High Definition Audio card. 10 Windows itself is not find a driver for this sound card. I also tried to reinstall the other drivers, chipset drivers for example. But unfortunately it did not help. I also tried to disable the Intel High Definition Audio, but also without success.

  What else can I try? I don't want to reinstall Windows. There must be a solution without this. Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of my device manager, perhaps it helps:

  

  If you need more information, please let me know.

  Best regards

  Ty

  I just tried this driver and I still have sound after 6 resets.

• accidentally turned off during the update of windows

  Guys, im using sony vaio with vista premium OS and it is automatically updated, I had used to remove my battery for use at home, during the update of windows, I accidentally kick off the power cord and it disconnected from the main power switch and turned off, when I open it I saw a note on the bottom right 'tm this copy of windows vista is not authentic.

  someone could help me on this guys, how can I do recover without reformatting my laptop.

  Please help me guys...

  Thanks in advance...

  Needless to say, cutting the current during the update process can cause all sorts of problems - many not even related to the update itself.  It is a common branching.

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  I don't know if this will solve the problem, but it might.  It's worth a try (and it can be useful if there are other problems that you have not yet detected).  Whether or not it works, you will need to re - install the update (and this time won't turn off - LOL).

  If you still have the problem of validation after system restore, and then click Start / computer / system properties and check the bottom of the Activation section.  Your system always shows that it is enabled?  If this isn't the case, then reactivate.  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

  If this does not resolve the "not genuine" message, please post your problem in the Windows Genuine Advantage Forum: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/threads , where the experts on this kind of problem will be more than happy to help you with your problem.  They will probably ask you to run a program and download the results so they can examine in order to find the problem - just follow their instructions.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Failed to check the updates of windows on Windows 7.

  OT: windows 7 updates.

  OK, I reinstalled windows 7 due to getting a new hard drive. Everything works well, the installation has functioned well. Although this problem happened more than once. A Microsoft disabled all the updates? It is very aggravating when you check updates and hours and hours, nothing happens.

  Does Microsoft support more on windows 7 updates? I use a computer that does not support windows 10, so please do not ask me to upgrade. in any case, my computer is healthy and good. I want to just the updates of windows 7.

  I am writing this message on my computer windows 8.1 is said by the way.  Please tell me not to make any change of setting. These updates to windows 7 after a relocation should not take hours to come to me.

  Thank you

  You can't solve a problem with Windows Update, based on the information you provided. The information requested will provide this information. To solve most computer problems, it allows to watch the evidence available in the system information file and Event Viewer logs. An experienced eye can choose needles in a haystack and see more clearly the precise nature of the problem or issue.

• I lose my files if I do the update of windows 10?

  Currently, I use 10 windows on my laptop and want to do the update of windows 10 but I don't want to lose all my files, can anyone help?

  Do you mean you are on W7 and want to update to W10?

  IF the update takes place properly and smoothly, as expected, then your data (documents, music, photos, videos, etc.) must remain in place where they are. However, it was reported that some or all of the data has not successfully transferred to some people. So back up everything first.

  It cannot emphasize enough, BACKUP all your data before you perform the upgrade.

  If you have a backup, things go wrong, you can recover. If you do not have a backup, things go wrong, you have probably lost your data.

• Install the updates of Windows 7 not Windows 10

  I have more than 30 windows 7 selected updates and when I click OK it brings back me to the GET started installing Windows 10 screen. I want to install the updates, not Windows 10 and can't find a way to do

  Do you plan on installing Windows 10 soon?

  If this isn't the case - get rid of advertising for it in this way:

  -COPY EVERYTHING BELOW THIS LINE-

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX]

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade]

  "ReservationsAllowed" = DWORD: 00000000

  -COPY EVERYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE-

  Once this is done, you should be without the notification and your Microsoft Updates must return to its normal state.  If you ever want to upgrade to Windows 10 new (remember, this is a work in progress and if you upgrade already on this system and active - there is a license for Windows 10 you'll never pay for related to this individual machine for the life of this individual machine) you can probably use the media creation tool to make * or * reverse the registry values (all above (: 00000001 becomes: 00000000 and all DWORD: 0-0000000 becomes: 00000001) and save this file and MERGE again.  Restart and you are back where you were before.

  * TIP * for everyone out there.  One thing I saw not advertised on the option of restoration of 30 days you have with Windows 10 is that * if * you run the media creation toolat any point in these 30 days, it BREAKS the ability to restore - even if you did just to create an ISO image, so you should have the installation media to continue.  That's because this tool recreates the $' Windows. ~ BT' and ' $Windows. ~ records of the WS on the root of your C drive and these two folders and their content after the upgrade as well as the "Windows.OLD" folder (the only 'visible by default' one of the three) are all necessary for the process of restoration work.

  It's a little 'reflection', but the images (animated ones) could be useful at least some number of words is above this line...
