Satellite C660 - Windows updates keep turning off my wireless.

The latest little have disabled my wireless and I was able to get it working again by rolling back by using the system restore.

The last time this happened (last month) even this does not solve it and I had to let PC World do the.
They challenge the updates of Windows one by one until they finally restored the wireless.

Their opinion was to NOT let Windows automatically update my PC!
The problem I have now is when do I allow an update?

Sometimes there are important security updates.
How do I discriminate between them and more importantly why is my Toshiba exposed to these inconveniences and that Toshiba makes preventing them in the first place?

Hello

I can't imagine that the official windows updates would affect the Wlan functionality.
I recommend updating the driver WLan to the latest version available and allow all updates to windows.

The update of the WLan driver can be found here:

  • Satellite L600: How can I turn off the Wireless Communication switch?

    Hello! Would be very grateful for any help... After struggling for 3 months that I finally registered here in the hope of getting help.

    I have a new Satellite L600 / Win7 Home Premium.
    My question is that I don't know where the wireless switch is to turn off COMPLETELY wireless.

    Whenever I start the wireless (orange) light turns on automatically.
    I have to wait until finish and turn off manually by Fn + F8.

    When I opened ConfigFree (or doctor of connectivity), the diagnosis on the left bottom says [STATUS"switch of Wireless Communication: WE]
    This tells me that the main switch is somehow always THERE.

    Twice I called Toshiba and they couldn't find it either.
    They said that the new versions of the BIOS does not...? And for this model, there is no physical switch built on the PC itself.

    I have looked everywhere and did the following:

    (1) disable the adapter in Device Manager.
    (2) in HWSetup, where there used to be an option to click on the switch wireless off, he's gone.
    (3) I went into the BIOS setup and could find nothing remotely related to without wireless/bluetooth to switch.

    I wonder why there is a wireless laptop with light permanently? But if it is enabled, there must be a way to turn it off. Press Fn + F8 every time at startup is not a long-term solution because the risk is that I'll forget someday).

    My last laptop was hacked until it's an absolute priority that I know how to disable all wireless functions. So even if I have to do through the commands, I'll try it. In addition, I do not know if anyone else experience the same thing with this model, or is it a default of my particular PC?

    Any help or even experience will be much appreciated, thank you.

    I disabled the card in the Device Manager.

    When I opened ConfigFree, connectivity doctor tells me the Wireless Communication switch: WE

    > My question is that I cannot find where the wireless switch is to turn off COMPLETELY wireless.

    There is no hardware switch that would allow to enable or disable the WiFi network.
    WLan can be turned on and off using the FN + F8 key combination.

    > When I open ConfigFree (or doctor of connectivity), the diagnosis on the left bottom says STATUS\ ' Wireless Communication switch: on it tells me the main switch is somehow always WE.

    What is the status of the WLAN if you check in network connections?
    The WiFi network is always on?
    If not then the WiFi connection turned off and I wouldn't be worried by the fact that ConfigFree says that it s THERE.

    Of course, you can disable the wireless network adapter in Device Manager. Just mark the Wlan card under network adapters and turn off your device. But believe me; It s enough to do using FN + F8 ;)

  • Why my Windows Firewall keep turn off briefly?

    I just launched a recovery on Pavilion Media Center TV m7470n desktop my father, which has restored XP Media Edition 2005 SP2. I then installed SP3 and use Windows Update to get the latest updates. The system now works fine, but from time to time, I get a popup notification that says that the Windows Firewall is disabled. The popup balloon quickly and when I enter the Security Center Windows Firewall appears as on. I did a full scan with Microsoft Security Essentials and I also tried Trend Micro HouseCall and RootkitBuster. None of the scans showed no threat, but I'm still uncomfortable with the ball of myesterious to appear several times a day. Someone saw?

    Now, I think the HP software that updates the computer was responsible. I tried to get the updates by running the software myself, but he says there is no update available. After a day or two, however, he popped up and told me that several updates were waiting to be installed. After you install the updates from HP, the problem with the Windows Firewall stopped.

  • Why security essientials keep turn off windows Defender. ?

    Why essential security keep turn off windows Defender?

    Hello

    Windows Defender features are included in MSE, defender of loading would be redundant.

    Windows Defender antispyware =

    MSE is antivirus + antispyware.

    Then think about MSE as Windows Defender with more added (which is).

    ===========================================

    Here's what I use and recommend:

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
    Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

    Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
    (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
    a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
    Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
    a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    Hello

    Sounds like hardware, so you should seek the help of a real computer (not the leeks and pics store
    at a Best Buy or other department stores) or system manufacturer support.

    If a PC unplug ALL and then reinstall the cards memory and cables (at both ends) - in fact
    delete and replace - do not just tight. Clean the dust bunnies and ensure that fans
    and the vents are clean.

    Good luck its associated heat so try adding a small fan blowing through the vents to see if that helps.
    Not all heat problems can be solved by adding a fan, but if it helps at least a
    intensify the problem.

  • Windows Update keeps updated tioir to update installed

    I am running Windows XP Professional SP3 on my laptop and installed a number of updates successfully on 11 and 13 July 2013.

    But Windows Update keeps me offering updates security KB2729450, KB2742569, KB27789643, KB2804577, KB2833940 and KB2844285 and KB952069. I get no error message and they show installed successfully in my update history.

    I ran MS Fix Center several times without success. On checking through my control panel, I discovered that the first 6 had actually been installed - I uninstalled and reinstalled, but Windows Update always their offer. I see that KB952069 has been downloaded, but it is not in the security updates that I can see through the control panel; so I do not know if it is also installed (doesn't seem to be the case). I've now hidden these 7 updates in desperation. How to solve this problem?

    Good to know and happy you have sorted it.

    Windows Update keeps trying to install K2686828 and KB2656369.  Whenever I tells me the installation succeeds only to ask again to update.  I tried the fix - it solutions, and they have not corrected the problem.  Also, I did a virus scan and found nothing.  All my other updates were installed without problem.

    This problem is related to the MSI registration information inconsistancies.  I was able to fix by using a cmd "msiexec /i {C09FB3CD-3D0C-3F2D-899A-6A1D67F2073F} ADDLOCAL = ALL/l * v % temp%\repairLog.txt.  At the end of this process, the two installed normally KB and I have now no critical updates in the meantime.  I noticed that article 917964 described a situation where IE would not work if the repairs were made the xp without removal of IE8 or IE 7 first.  My IE 8 works fine.  By 917964, "before you perform a repair of Windows XP installation, you must uninstall Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Internet Explorer 8 of the Windows XP computer.". If you perform a repair of Windows XP installation, when a later version of Internet Explorer is still installed, Internet Explorer does not once the repair is complete. »
