Stolen laptop, stolen Software - why not stop it?

My laptop was stolen from my vehicle, a police report has been filed.  The franchise on my car insurance is $ 500 and the laptop was $ 320.  I know that I won't get it back, but why Microsoft cannot disable Windows system, as long as I have a valid police report?  The laptop will finally be Ouvrezunesession Windows Update and then it should be rendered useless.  Makes no sense?

First of all - it is unlikely that anyone (thief or innocent victim after the flight) would affect in any way.

Secondly - has no way to connect than installing Windows.  The laptop came with the edition / version of Windows it has pre-installed on it?  If so, it is unlikely that you were never use the product key you * may * have recorded off the coast of the sticker on the laptop in all cases - declaration of product key for having turned it off would be almost useless (it will probably never be used in reality.)

In what other way did you think the 'right to use' license you to Windows has been attached to you?  If it came with the computer, he was attached to the computer.  If you have the serial number of the computer and a receipt to link this serial number you - maybe you can prove this system and usage of Windows right is yours - but if windows came pre-installed, your right to use this particular Windows license was related to this specific computer (OEM licenses, etc.)  You can't take this right to use this license anywhere else, even if it was stolen.

As already indicated, the product key, you may have (unlikely) recorded off the coast of the sticker on the computer was probably not even during use (thanks again to OEM) - there is nothing unique identifying this SPECIFIC "Windows Update" system, where you think to a sort of identification could arrive and disable the said system.  If you have used some product keys finder and saved the key he found, the one you got is probably OEM SLP and they won't turn off thousands of legitmately owned machines for your (really?  a laptop $ 320?  Looks more like a netbook...) a fly.

So - questions to ask yourself...

  • You have the product key Windows off the sticker on the machine?
  • Product key Windows that was used on the machine?
  • The serial number of the machine?

    I recommend that you make sure you have your license key for webroot. Uninstall the software and reboot. If that solves the problem, it's time to go to the Webroot support and ask their tech support that it.

    my laptop do not stop proprly .when I do stop my laptop to come in blue screen so how do slove this problem?

    You have an external equipment attached and turned on when stopping?

    All applications are closed before attempting to stop?

    Try to do a clean boot:

    I would also make sure that all the drivers for hardware and software updates have been applied.

    How long have you been experiencing this problem?

    Have you installed a new hardware or software since you started facing this problem?

    Also perform the following operations:

    Check your hard drive for errors:

    Click Start

    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD

    Click on "Run as Administrator"

    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    then

    Click Start

Many tanks, rich

    Hello rich trew,.

    Just to make sure that you understand it, some manufacturers of computers such as HP, Dell, Sony and gateway in the past have offered free software and operating systems. Microsoft Works was part of your first computer, but this has been the manufacturer of the computer. This has led people to believe that it is always included as part of the Windows operating systems. They included Microsoft Works, Roxio Easy CD Creator, Adobe Reader just name a few.

    Microsoft let computer makers bundle what they want, when they sell their OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) computers. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the computer what to offer and has nothing to do with the operating system of Microsoft.

    Thank you

    My (certainly old and slow) system made too the first time I opened 11 player, but he "thawed" after fifteen seconds, (an eternity in computing time, I know, but it has finally opened completely) what you see to the right is the "Tools" palette during initialization. That's exactly where mine would freeze at startup. Once he finally opened fully, I clicked on the "Tools" link at the top to close the Panel, and I opened and seen a document in this way and then closed reader. Now when I open the drive, the tool palette is not initialize and it opens immediately.

    Restart and prior to open what any else, open the drive. When you open it, DO NOT try to do anything with it until it fully opens, do not click on anything that it either, do not try to switch to another app give it time to open up completely and then click the tools link to close. Then open and view a document and close it. Close the player and reopen it. the tools Panel should stay closed and reader should open completely immediately.

  • My ipad was stolen and does not activate my find my ipad... help

    Hello, please my ipad was stolen two days ago, unfortunately for me, I did not activate my find my ipad. Please, can he still follow? I have all the details of the ipad help!

    Hi imeyoya

    I'm sorry to hear that your iPad was stolen.

    Unfortunately, without finding my iPad is enabled on the device, there is not that you can do to recover or protect the data on it, but you can protect your account. I hope that you had a defined password.

    If you do not enable find my iPhone before your device has been lost or stolen, you can not use it to locate your device. However, you can use the following steps to help protect your data:

    1. Change your password on Apple ID. By changing your Apple ID password, you can prevent anyone to access your iCloud data or using other services (such as iMessage or iTunes) from your missing device.
    2. Change the passwords of other internet accounts on your device. This might include email, Facebook, or Twitter accounts.
    3. Report your lost or stolen to the local police unit. Law enforcement could ask the serial number of your device. Find the serial number of your device.
    4. Report your lost device to your mobile phone service provider. Your carrier can deactivate the account, preventing the use of data, texts and phone calls.

    Find my iPhone is the only way that you can follow or locate a lost device or missing. If find my iPhone is not activated on your device until missing, there is no other service from Apple that can find, follow or flag, otherwise your device for you.

    What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen

  • Why the STOP button stops not timed loop.

    Hello world

    I had a rather complicated code launched against me. I had to change program action unique (and many other things) when ACQUIRING a button has been clicked making timed measurements. I was able to add the time... but I want the loop to stop once you click on the STOP button.

    I have attached a very simplified version of my code.

    So if you start and press the ACQUIRE the program generates random numbers (to simulate the measure) and records them with a device ID. The program stops once the total is for instance in the default settings after 20 sec.

    But it does not stop when you press the STOP button. MY QUESTION: why not?

    FOR INFO:

    In my actual code, there are 10 events instead of only 1.

    It doesn't have to stop immediately, inbetween iterations (because I already tried to include the timed stop Structure VI and it did not work either).

    I also used the execution to highlight, but it did not help me.

    Thank you for any help or suggestion!

    Lisa

    Lisa,

    First of all, thank you for explaining clearly what your problem and to present a simplified program.

    The problem with your program is very simple. The loop inside the structure of the event begins when the acquisition: Mouse Down event occurs, which seems to be what you wanted. The default condition for the case of the event is "front Lock (defer the treatment of the actions of the user) until the end of the occurrence of the event." This is controlled by a checkbox at the bottom of the evetn installation dialog box. What this means is that the stop button is not recognized until AFTER the event is complete.  BUT the case of the event cannot complete until the while loop stops.

    The Solution: Move the loop outside the case of the event.  Generally speaking, event must not contain any code that could take more than a few milliseconds to run and certainly should not depend on the user's other actions to complete.

    Look at the design of producer/consumer models (events) for advice.  Also learn how to use queues to pass data between loops rather than local variables.

  • Laptop will not stop or sleep

    Hello

    I recently bought an Acer E5-571-54YJ.

    The laptop works very well and fits my needs for the school.

    Only problem I have with it is that it will not stop or go into sleepmode.

    When I stopped it after a few seconds when the screen goes black I mean the closed disc and fans to stop spinning, but blue remains on. I must then manually turn it off by holding the power button.

    Even with its in sleep mode. The light stays on and I can't turn it back on again. I have to first manually stopped in now the power button and then start it upward.

    I tried to disable the quick start, but this does not solve the problem.
    I hope someone can help me quickly because it's really annoying that I can't put it in mode 'sleep'.

    If you want more information, just ask.

    Greetings,

    Jean-Paul

    First of all, make sure that you have the latest version of the BIOS.  If the update to the latest version of the BIOS fixes the problem, then please don't read any more.  If the update to the latest version of the BIOS doesn't fix it, then continue reading.

    http://www.Acer.com/AC/en/us/content/drivers#_ga=1.190056232.264310007.1474604665

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Do not read anything below, or attempt anything below unless you have the latest version of the BIOS and will always have the problem.

    If you have Haswell-ATU as the computer linked below - i5 4210U, then the only two known workarounds I know are using the Intel Management Engine interface driver 8.1 Windows 9.5 or install Intel MEI 11.0.0.1181.   If you have Intel Management Engine interface driver 11.0.0.1146 installed, it would be the problem.

    http://community.Acer.com/T5/S-and-R-series-laptops/R3-471T-not-shutting-down-completely-or-turning-...

    Internet search or this forum.  There are tens of thousands of messages that describe problems associated with sleep/stop Haswell-ATU and Windows 10 and usually driver boost a/k/a turbo Intel MEI 11.0.0.1146 11.0.0.1146.

    Yet once, most people use the 9.5 intel management engine interface driver (a Windows 8.1 driver) as a workaround to resolve the problem.  Go to Device Manager and try to restore.  Roll back may or may not give you the Windows 8.1 driver.  You may need to install it manually.
