  Hi Alex,

  This problem can occur if the update would have changed the parameters of indexation.

  Try the following and see if it helps.

  Method 1:

  Check if the search Windows service is turned on.

  a. Click Start, type services.msc and press ENTER.
  b. double-click Windows Search.
  c. set its startup type to automatic.
  d. set the service state to started.
  e. click OK. Check if it helps.

  Method 2:

  I suggest you to rebuild indexes and check if it helps

  Rebuilding the index can take several hours, and searches may be incomplete until the index is completely rebuilt.

  a. indexing by clicking the Start button, open the Options and then on Control Panel. In the search box, type indexing options, and then click Indexing Options.

  b. click Advanced. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (c) in the Advanced Options dialog box, click the index settings tab and then click rebuild. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Method 3:

  I suggest you to scan Run System File Checker (SFC) tool and check if this may help.

  The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  Hi PA bear

  Thank you for your interest for my problem. Another long session of trial and error on this issue. I tried different solutions offer after having read a few other answers users forum, tried to find PowerShell in the M/S Download Center but failed in the present. At the end of the day, I gave up and disconnected.

  I started my PC this morning and found that M/S Windows 7 has set its self, so Windows Update now as it should. What was wrong with Windows for 24 hours? I got a popup saying there had been a failure, and a report was compiled and sent to M/S.

  I tried to reload the McAfee security software but failed, which resulted in an email exchange with a member of the McAfee technical support team that took control of my keyboard and mouse. I noticed that it resets the default values for the original settings and remove the history of Solution Explorer. After these adjustments, I was able to reload the McAfee security software and fortunately my PC is protected and that it works correctly.

  What was the problem with M/S Windows 7 on this occasion is a mystery to me, I thought for a moment that I had picked up a virus. I don't think that this report will be of value to other users?

  concerning

• Updates to Windows, computer stops working

  This morning Windows automatically updated (Windows XP), and now it's freezing in different places. Apparently randomly, it will freeze:

  • On the login screen. I can't click on the name of connection.
  • On the password page. I click on a name and the password appears, but I can't type out there.
  • At the level of the office. I enter the password, and the desktop but no icons and no taskbar.
  • On the normal screen. Icons and task bar appear, but as soon as I click on the 'Start' button and it freezes.

  I any case, I have to restart the computer by pressing the power - no work Alt/Ctrl/Del button.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Take a look in the system and Application logs in the errors and warnings event viewer and post here the copies. Do not post on that more than 48 hours ago.

  You can access event viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, and Event Viewer. When searching for the meaning of the error, information about the event ID, Source and Description are important.

  A tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. You will see a button resembling two pages. Click on the button and close Event Viewer. This places a copy of the report to your Clipboard. Paste it into the body of your message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

  Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

• Windows 7 Pro 64, windows update/Defender/firewall has stopped working. Firewall gives me error 0x6d9. Defender gives me 0 x 80070424.

  Original title: Windows 7 Pro 64, windows update/Defender/firewall has stopped working.

  I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed, after the time of my last updated 31/7, my windows update has stopped working, and no so Windows defender and firewall.  Firewall gives me error 0x6d9. Defender gives me 0 x 80070424.  Update Windows to 7.31 was an update of the Defender, however, windows update will not give me the option to uninstall this update because the Defender has completely disappeared from the prompt that allows you to choose which puts up-to-date to uninstall. Is it possible to manually remove somewhere else?

  I ran SFC/scannow and I WAB32res.dll has been altered, so I copied the file on my windows 7 CD for 64 Professional (from program files/common files) and copied and replace my program.files/common files one.  I restarted the SFC and the same error occurred.  I had 5 errors like this:

  2012-08-03 19:15:59, 000002fb CSI Info [SR] cannot repair the military record [l:24 {12}] "wab32res.dll" Microsoft-Windows-WAB-Core, Version 6.1.7600.16385, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 = (9), the Culture neutral, VersionScope is 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, type neutral, TypeName neutral, neutral to the public key in the store, hash mismatch. "

  I also ran Microsoft Safety Scanner Scanner, he finds 16 errors and fixed them (I saved the names), but even after I reset the computer my Windows Update/Defender/firewall STILL does not work!

  Anyone have any ideas? Especially how to fix 'wab32res.dll"maybe that I recorded it in the wrong place?

  I noticed there is one in each 'program folder' folder (program files x 86 and regular for 64 bit).  Is also wab32res.dll somewhere in system32?

  Thank you!

  a. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
  takeown /f Path_And_File_Name
  For example, type takeown /f E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll.
  b. type the following command and press ENTER to grant administrators full access to the file:

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Windows has stopped working properly

  "" I have windows vista and when I try to surf the internet, after awhile, it appears as a small windows that says "windows has stopped working properly ' and it restarts not close windows. It started before this date sometimes more often until my pc broke down: it became a flashy blue screen with writing something like problem phsichical... damage discs and now I tried to format it but it seems like the same problem comes up... now I can't download it again up to a certain point It is stackable

  Looks like your system is good enough corupted.  I backup my data and restore the computer to factory settings.  The procedure for this varies from a make and model to another, but should be in the documentation for your computer.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.
