• Can not download updates without having to download Windows 10

  I had to uninstall/reinstall Office 2010. So I thought I'd better get all the updates for these programs. I went to Windows update and checked all of the updates, but when I started to download, Windows 10 starts to download.

  I don't want Windows 10!

  If it downloads with my other updates, can I keep it to install?

  Is it possible to prevent it from downloading with my other updates?

  Thank you very much.

• Windows 7 will not be updated without requiring a download/install of Windows 10, I don't want to.

  Whenever I try to update my Windows 7, Windows Update module only provides a button that will download/install Windows 10.  Why?

  You must remove Windows 10 of the queue by hiding the upgrade or remove the upgrade.

  Once hidden, you should be able to update Windows normally - but he might come back to haunt you again.

  Easy way:

  It is a free tool that can remove and disable notification area icon "get Windows 10' on Windows 7 and Windows 8. The latest versions can also disable the behavior "upgrade to Windows 10' in the Windows Update control panel.

  I got message saying there was an update for 7 0 1 firefox but I download the update, but it will not install I also lost more than firefox, as I said I am running windows 7 32 bit and zone alarm on the pc zone alarm came that the download was not stable

  You must uninstall your current Firefox installation, and then reinstall Firefox.

  -> Uninstall Firefox on your computer

  • DO NOT SELECT DELETE THE SETTINGS AND DATA OF THE USER
  • Restart your system

  -> Download Firefox latest version of one of these links by using a different Web browser:

  • http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/new/
  • http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/Central/
  • http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/FX/
  • http://www.Mozilla.com/en-us/Firefox/all.html

  -> Installation of Firefox

  Check and tell if its working.

  Hello

  Try to re - install ZoneAlarm on laptop, BUT it tells me that I must upgrade to the Microsoft Windows Service Pack 1 (SP1) to do this... I am running Windows Vista and when I click on windows update it works for literally hours without anything happeneing.

  Zone Alarm has a key valid license - but for some strange reason, he will not have, so I had to uninstall and reinstall ZoneAlarm - he tells me that I need this update - who will not come?

  Note: Windows Firewall is turned on right now and when I look at 'exceptions' does not offer updates of windows as part of the selection list.

  Please, any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.

• file loss or damage after running automatic updates, cannot run windows without having to re - install

  I am currently running Windows vista 64-bit, but I'm unable to allow automatic updates to run because it results in loss/damage/corruption of files.
  It will install everything as usual and reboot the computer, but instead of windows startup, it reports that windows cannot open because there is a missing or damaged file. The pc is not repairable by placing it in a previous restore point or using the at startup repair shop and I find myself having to reinstall VISTA to get the pc working again. Accordingly, Iam unable to install service packs for Vista or other updates to the system because I don't want to reinstall my computer is there a patch or fix for this error?

  J0seph1ne,
  If you have a question whenever you install an update with the loss of corruption\file then it is possible that you have a problem with your hard drive or with and infection.  You can try the tools\links below.  I suggest you then install just a few updates both to seek only possible that poses a problem.

• Computer recently downloaded and tried to run a update and system now cannot start Windows

  As the title suggests, there was a failed an automatic update attempt.  System attempted to automatically repair the problem, couldn't.  I tried to restore to a checkpoint before the update attempt.  This was failed several times.  Each time the system reboots and the tent to start windows but ends with the blue screen crash every time.

  I am able to go into windows in safe mode, but it ends up doing what I was doing outside of windows.

  The blue screen is not displayed for a long time, but when he does has what I think is an error code or something... This code is always the same - as I saw it several times, I managed to write it: 0x0000007F.

  Any ideas?  Help!

  Thank you

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• Windows Update error Code 80246008 on system running Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a problem installing the Windows updates on my system (running Windows 7).

  Windows Update tells me that I have three important updates, but when I try to download, it tells me that they do not have.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

  All the best, Greatdaytobealive

  Norton applications are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. See if the following solves your problem:

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of the 2010 version of your Norton application (for example, Norton 360 2010) using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8 test cycle.

  WU, MU will not install the updates downloaded or optional updates selected. No error code is given, it remains at 0% for as long I leave or I cancel installation. I tried to install individually in MS catalogue still will not be installed. This is a new computer that I built in July and punishment, it has not been used. It's strange because for the first three weeks of this computer, I had no problem with the installation of all available updates, or anything else. Then when the updates of August were available I chose all security updates and install optional updates that have already downloaded click on the button and nothing happened, it remained only on 0%. My question is, is there an update that was given earlier that caused these updates not installed? I really want to use my new computer, but I don't like to run without new security and the latest updates. I had trouble before what do.

  I used all the security software listed above on all my computers for about 5 to 10 years and non of them are set to prevent windows update from working.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  NOTE: in the Clean boot state ZoneAlarm will be disabled. Make sure that the native Win 7 firewall is now on in the Panel.

  While in the clean boot state, you can also try to download and Save the Fixit found here -How to reset the Windows Update components?
  Once the download completes close all open programs and browsers.
  Now launch Microsoft Fixit 50202.msi and choose the default mode.
  When it has finished turn the system reboot to clean it from same start State and see if updates can install now.

  If no joy, run the Fixit once more and choose aggressive mode.
  Then restart on the same State of clean boot and see if update succeeds now.

• Error 80072efe when you try to run Windows Update (computers)

  In the last week or so, Windows updates have begun failing on our computers to Vista. Sometimes it will work. If there are no updates, there is no difficulty to install. Error # is always the same. Here is a text of the passage of a WindowsUpdate.log:

  An interesting sidenote, if we try to navigate to update.microsoft.com in a browser, after a long break, we get a banner at the top of Microsoft, and three empty frames all display connection errors.

  We tried different DNS servers, we bypassed the firewall, we tried all possible parameters in the network configuration of PCs, we tried to define the parameters of Internet security at the lowest level possible.
  At this point, I'm fresh out of ideas.

  Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem?

• Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working". It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error code just a constant circle. This has happened for days. I am running windows 7.

  Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working".  It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error, just a constant circle of shutdown and startup code.  This has happened for days.  I am running windows 7.

  I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.

  We will cover all the possibilities.

  1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:

  Norton Removal Tool: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  McAfee removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all software (including LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton) Norton through Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view)

  IMPORTANT! => Activate the Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  IMPORTANT! => Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed the steps #4, #5 and #6 below!

  4. right click on one of the files that you saved in #1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  5. Repeat step #4 for another removal tool.

  Tips:

  -Online use another computer to download the removal tool, if necessary, then transfer it to the computer via CD, DVD, or a USB brand new, never been used (flash drive), or a summer freshly updated in shape.

  -Online start the problem in Mode safe computer, if necessary, proceed as above.

  -Online after completing all of the above, uninstall AVG Free & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.
