  • Satellite Pro C850 - problems with WiFi after Windows update 8.1

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could give some advice on a problem I have.

    Had an adjustable C850 Pro for a few months and worked well on Windows 8.
    I myself am then harassed and intimidated by Microsoft Update in order to install Windows 8.1 and in a moment of weakness, I succumbed (got sick of the nagging).

    Since that time, my wifi is very intermittent; either I'm on another computer write this and the laptop is essentially not connected to the internet.

    For some reason any (although I didn't try it before), I can not connect via ethernet either, so I think it's probably the driver problems. (I also tried to connect the public wifi but fails).

    I tried to install the driver WiFi Toshiba 8.1 but that has not solved the problem.
    Then I noticed that I'm supposed to install a bunch of drivers in the order.

    Maximum setting to do it, but the first package (associated with bluetooth) said I have to remove the current driver... I try by "turning off", then "Uninstall" but 8.1 seems to re - install automatically and I don't know how to disable this option (I can try to delete the driver file, I guess, but I'm sure 8.1 covered too and will probably launch a drone to try me out ", if I do). *

    Any kind soul there suggestions on a way forward? Pls.

    I see in the instructions of Toshiba Windows Update 8.1 should I have uninstalled the drivers before the update, but there is not much I can do about it now. :(

    Hello

  • Problems with printer after windows update on Vista

    I am running Vista Home premium 32-bit with SP1 and have an Epson SX215 printer. I have Noton antivirus installed.

    My printer will not respond after installation of recent updates. Remiain of items in the queue for printing and the caanot be deleted. I tried Mr. Fixit for printer problems, but it just crashes evenn after leaving 2 hours to run! I tried the system restore, but I just get a message saying "unknown error found no changes."

    I can solve the problem by resetting the PC to the settings to factory, but when I load these recent windows updates again that the problem comes back.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    What updates caused the problem to occur?

    Look for updates in the update history.

    a. open Windows Update by clicking on the button start. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.

    (b) in the left pane, click view update history.

    c. to display more information about an update, double-click it.

    I suggest that you realize the following methods and check if they help to solve the problem.

    Method 1:

    (a) click Start, go to control panel

    (b) select system and Maintenance

    (c) select administrative tools

    (d) double click on Services

    (e) in the services list, scroll down until you find one called "print spooler".

    (f) make a right clic on "Print spooler" and "restart".

    (g) "suppression" of work will be lost and all work queued in your queue will print.

    Method 2:

    I would completely uninstall and reinstall Epson SX215 printer driver package.
     
    a. open devices and printers, click the Start button, and then click the start menu, click devices and printers.

    b. right-click on the printer you want to remove, click on remove the device and then click Yes.

    If you can't delete the printer, right-click again, click Run as administrator, click on remove the device and then click Yes.

    Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    c. now, reinstall the printer . Note: Valid link also for Windows Vista.

    Method 3:

    If the above didn't help, restore settings PC and install the updates one by one and refrain from installing the update (although not recommended) which is the origin of the problem.

  • How to open the window updates "Adobe Application Manager"?

    How to open the window updates "Adobe Application Manager"? Or I can or should I...?

    I am a brand new Member of cloud.  I heard about the update of the retina.  Assuming that's where updates seems logically I went first to the application "Adobe Application Manager".  Without closing the "Adobe Application Manager" I open Photoshop and went to the Help menu and select "Updates."... » ; a second window in the Application already handler open "Adobe".

    I chose the update of all.

    The result is less to:

    Now, I closed "Adobe Application Manager" and reopened "Photoshop" and again selected "updates... " on the Help menu.  The "Adobe Application Manager" opened again with just a window this time and the updates happened correctly.

    I was hoping a updates would be the "Adobe Application Manager", I don't think so.

    So, if I were you I would not select "Updates."... "in an Adobe application unless the " Adobe Application Manager " is closed until they fix IT...

    Current version: Adobe® Application Manager - Version 7.0.0.128 (7.0.0.128) notes the two windows in the "Adobe Application Manager" in the attached image.

    If you read my entire post you would have seen that after closeing "Adobe Application Manager" updates completed normally next time I chose "updates... "in the Help menu in Photoshop.

  • Windows Update Agent fails to detect the updates (Windows Server WSUS with SCCM)

    Howdy

    We recently integreated WSUS in SCCM 2012, which means WSUS updates are now provided through the software Center instead of through the Windows Update client. This does not work as expected.

    However, we are using Kaspersky Endpoint Security, which has a function of software vulnerability report that we want to use. This could inform us of all the machines that do not have all their updates installed. It is a simpler than using SCCM reports interface. When searching for vulnerabilities, Kaspersky Network agent uses the Windows Update Agent service to find updates in WSUS. This function does not work on our customers, where it can detect a single Windows Update. I have a transcript example from the WindowsUpdate.log file below:

    We also have in our devices infrastructure traditional WSUS running on a different server (not SCCM), which are reports in fine and properly, Kaspersky detects missing updates.

    We determined with Kaspersky that the problem lies in the Windows Update agent and not their software. Can anyone tell if the question is because we use SCCM for updates (and therefore Windows Update agent is not working properly) or that there is another issue that can be resolved?
