Unable to connect after the automatic updates of Windows.

I have two computers on my network, one with 7 and one with vista.  (US) both for automatic Windows update and yesterday, after both received updates, I couldn't go online.  Restored both and that solved.  Today it's the same thing.  I restored both and Windows updated together on manual.  Problem is I want to install updates, but you need to know what is happening.   Thank you

Many other people have the same problem after the recent update of Win7.  A thread said that the culprit is update KB2705219 and you'll be OK if remove you it.  There is no other additional information that the user in question has done so successfully [I can't find the link, I checked both of these threads today].

I have not tried to uninstall it I like my PC to install with a decent connection the last hours [no idea why].  I also have McAfee.

In addition, you should never uninstall McAfee or any other AV application unless you have a copy of the relevant utility uninstall application.  Results to omit this step can be severe and cause quite disconcerting & apparently unrelated symptoms.  I do not recommend this as a step for the problem today, but keep this link for when / if you decide to replace McAfee - McAfee Consumer products removal tool.  For other AV applications, see list of anti-malware cleaning - program uninstall tools

  • All browsers stop working after the automatic updates

    * Original title: Windows 8 - all browsers stop working after update

    Hi, I have a Dell 14R with Windows 8, standard configuration.  After the automatic updates pushed on 06-04-14, computer laptop start behaving strange - not able to connect to any external website.  Home page only on a browser worked.  Troubleshooting auto did not find any problems. I restored the computer to the last point saved, generated an error "cannot restore', perhaps due to MacAfee, but solved the problem.   Then I disabled the updates for windows, just in case.  Did you anyone has a similar experience lately and was able to locate and solved the problem?

    You can try to disable the Sophos websheild and ClamXav if she has one. Even better would be to uninstall both and test.

    FWIW, it is never a good idea to have 2 av programs installed.

  • computer crashed after the automatic update Tuesday night

    Hi, Kevin

    My computer crashed after the automatic update Tuesday evening. The message indicates that the demand for window vista (which initially provided with the Lenovo computer, that I bought new in 2007) is not valid. When I rebooted and you press F5, it offers 3 options 'Security Mode', but no return explicitly beforehand updated status.

    I'm not familiar with uninstalling and restoring systems. Can you walk me through the process? Can I uninstall or restore when the computer is in mode security (limited capacity)? How a WAIK/Windows PE image downloaded to another computer to help me with the computer that is out?

    Your suggestion to install SP2 apply to windows vista home basic version, 2007?

    Thank you!

  • How can I get my laptop to recognize my printer wireless after the automatic update?

    After the automatic update I couldn't open any program (Word, Excel, internet etc.) that I managed to resolve by restoring my laptop settings before the update. It seems to have worked until I went to use my printer. My laptop will not find my printer through devices and printers, and when I go to print a document, an error box pops up saying "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the installation of the current printer.

    Your help would be appreciated gratefully.

  • After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers

    Hello

    After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers. I get an error code 21 when I try to install the drivers AMD apparently missing.

    May 14, last night I had several (automatically) downloaded windows update

    Today, I was unable to boot my computer with Windows - tried the disk check, start checks etc, and eventually had to use System Restore (for help before the critical update to restore).

    Perfection, everything works, but knowing that windows will attempt to redo an automatic update, tried to check online - no one seemed to have a problem and (naivly) thinking I could always do another restore of the system, I rebooted again.

    Same thing worse. Could not do a sys restore either just before restarting or last night. Chose a date earlier (last week) but then lost the USB drivers and pilots display. Downloaded updated but refuses to let my AMD driver install Windows I have a very unpleasant screen... and I must now stop the installation of this update "critical."

    Would appreciate advice how do my installed display driver or whether anyone else has problems following this update

    Thank you
