Updates Windows 7 October 2016

I just installed the updates in October for Windows 7 on my laptop.  Almost all of them had to do with safety.  One was something new, called the Malicious Software Removal Tool.  Now, I see that only half of my shortcut icons suddenly disappeared and 2 months of history and my list of favorites.  What is going on? This happened to someone else after the installation of updates?  I can repair shortcuts, but is it possible to recover my history and bookmarks from the list?

P.S. It wiped out my home page and Adobe Acrobat Reader too!  I will have to reset all sorts all sorts of things.  I don't understand.  Everything on my computer couldn't be 'malicious '.  I did this (I don't know how.) or is it Microsoft DIY?

Really glad to hear that.  You would select please my ad as a response.  Others help find the assistance that's in this thread.

    When I first installed the new 5.1 icloud, OUTLOOK 2016 worked well. Updated windows 10 and know icloud will not work. ICloud show that it works. Have reinstalled icloud a lot of time and know that the add-in does not show up in OUTLOOK.  Help

    I was pulling my hair re the incompatibility of iCloud and Outlook of Office 365 2016.  I finally got things to work on three of my computers - which are on the latest version of Windows 10.

    The steps that worked for me:

    (1) uninstall the plugin iCloud (what version you have); the uninstall may fail but if so don't worry as step 3 below overlays some iCloud plugin version you have installed

    (2) open the Control Panel, uninstall, change/repair Office 365; Select fast repair

    (3) reinstall iCloud plugin (version 5.1), then restart the system by following the instructions

    (4) after the reboot, plug in iCloud application Apple ID and password; Make sure that you enter your apple with the suffix icloud.com ID (e.g., [email protected])

    (5) check the iCloud options to your will (e.g., photo synch, synchronization of bookmarks, sync mail/calendar, etc.)

    (6) check apply it, leave the work plugin iCloud for a minute, when he finishes, check the closing

    (7) open Outlook 2016 and check your calendar or contacts or anything that you indicated in step 5, that you want to synchronize with iCloud.com

    I hope it works for you!

    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  • Update Windows Vista crashes with 'check updates'

    Last month, Windows Vista updates began to hang on to the 'check updates'.

    I have: 1. tried all the fixes I could find.
    2 reloaded Vista with SP1 from a recovery partition.
    3 update worked until SP2; SP2 downloaded and installed OK.

    4. then, the update said I need latest update agent (7.6.7600.256). Downloaded and installed OK. At this point, the Windows update fails.
    5. If I uninstall SP2, but let the agent update, it works. When I reinstall SP2, it fails.

    6. I have installed a completely different image of Vista - this one was integrated in SP2. This version fails in the same way.

    7. I ran SFC, CHKDSK, System diags, updated all my drivers updated BIOS and replaced the memory. As far as I can tell this is the only thing that does not work on my PC.

    Anyone has any ideas. ? -Thanks!

    Hi Ichabod22:

    Thanks for your comments, and happy this worked.  I did have the chance to try this workaround yet - my phase "check for updates..." ran for 4 hours during my may 2016 updated Patch Tuesday before we found 16 available updates - but quite a few users of Win 7 SP1 and SP2 of Vista are now reporting that before installing these updates Windows kernel mode driver (Win32k.sys) each month (for example the KB3145739 in April 2016; KB3153199 in may 2016) reduced their updates for Patch Tuesday to hours to minutes.

    I doubt that this is a permanent solution so be sure to check the page Web of Dalai Search for Windows Updates takes forever?-a possible solution next month to see if a new version of Win32k.sys is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center before your race updates your June 2016 Patch Tuesday.

    Woody Leonhard has published a series of articles on of temporary workaround in his Woody on Windows blog, including Windows 7 update scans still holding? KB 3153199 can solve the problem, so congratulations to Woody, Dalai and others to share this potential solution.

    How can I reinstall components update Windows with a Microsoft Tool that is always available for Windows VISTA home edition?  Microsoft still supports VISTA?  It is a year now and I can't get updates; Research of update crashes.  I tried several recommendations of correction through the Microsoft Community with a negative result.  I tried a Microsoft Fixit Tool that reports 2 errors aren't fixed which includes error OX8024402C(2016-09-10-T-08_58_50P). Microsoft Servers don't know the Windows VISTA updates for support Windows 10?  How can I get through Microsoft for direct assistance on this serious mistake that is extremely difficult to define? And Microsoft does this help?

  • Updates Windows computer overheating

    I have a hp 2560p elitbook and the fan goes wrong then it overheats it tries every time is updated and I can't seem to stop the update. Whenever I stopped him or the battery it dies updated to market. It was updated for 3 days now and I don't know what can anyone help please

    Your central problem is obviously the heat.  If you use your laptop on a soft surface, it's your problem, or at least a major contributor.  If you're not, you can try to blow off the dust, but more often that otherwise, it would mean replacing the fan.  Usually, that happens on an old laptop and can not be cheap.

    As far as Windows Update is concerned, change her FOREVER, you should do anyway to take control of your system up-to-date.  After you change the setting, restart.  After the reboot, type services in the text box that appears when you click the start planet.  Click Services.  In this window, navigate to Windows Update, right-click on it and choose stop.

    I suspect that Norton might be part of the question, and if you were to perform an Internet search on something like:

    the failure of the Norton windows update

    You will see more than a million results with these words:

    Granted there are problems with Windows Update, because for several months but if your updates are downloading and just do not install I would suspect Norton - because in their community of support online, there are so many reports of problems and many, many debates and ideas for things to try that can work sometimes maybe (sometimes they work) , adjustments for Norton, the reinstall from scratch... it is very messy.

    In their community, they discuss especially Norton vs. Windows updates and you tell your update Adobe and Trusteer OK but those who use a different method to update that updates Windows, the problem could be JUST with Windows updates.

    Unless you are forced to use Norton for a reason, you should consider at least temporarily uninstall, then reboot your system without it and see what things look like.  You can always install it again later, no?

    You must be sure to use their custom tool to be sure that the uninstall is clean:

    https://support.Norton.com/SP/en/us/home/current/solutions/v60392881_EndUserProfile_en_us

    Some people dislike not so much of Norton (and the problems that come with it) they believe Norton its own type of computer infection and malware.  I would never recommend or install it, but your mileage may vary.

    Remember to replace Norton with something like Microsoft Security Essentials, which has a much smaller footprint, and you can download the low low price of free:

    https://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=5201

    Your system will give you better performance.

    As mentioned hit Windows Update for a long time too, but you can probably fix that part.
