• Updated Windows rebooted my computer and installed the updates last night and now my login password is different and I can not connect. Help?

  I put my computer to sleep last night and when I woke up this morning it has restarted and was sitting on the login screen.  This occurs when windows update itself - and I absolutely hate it by the way.

  When I entered my password, it says that it was incorrect.  I had the same password for a long time, so the only thing I can think is that the update of windows somehow changed my password.  I have Vista Ultimate 64 b.

  I ordered the Dell XP disc and did the re-install. It works fine now. The Dell technical support had me do some updates on the web as well. I have not had problems since. What happened with the automatic updates completely wiped out my operating system. At least I don't have to buy a new computer.

  If nothing else works, try reinstalling your operating system. It worked for me.

• Impossible to attach Windows 10 laptop computer to the Internet via cable USB iPhone 5 c after update to iTunes and iPhone (March 2016)

  System information:

  Tactile Lenovo Y50-70

  Construction of 10.0.10586 of Windows 10-10586

  iPhone 5 c - iOS 9.2.1

  iTunes - 12.3.2.35 / 64-bit

  Cell carrier: Etisalat AF

  Last year in Afghanistan, I have used my iPhone 5 c to attach my laptop to the internet simply by connecting via USB.  It has always worked.  Was very simple.  When I returned to the States for R & R in November 2015, I've updated my iPhone and iTunes to the latest versions and upgrades Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

  I am now back in Afghanistan and USB tethering no longer works.  WiFi tethering works half the time.  The other half of the time, when I try and connect to the network of the iPhone, it is said, you cannot connect to this network.  When I can't connect to the phone, I disable the personal hotspot, WiFi and Bluetooth on the phone and then I turn it back on.  I also turn off my WiFi adapter on my laptop and turn it back on.  Which usually solves the problem and then I can connect via WiFi.

  Do some research on the internet, I read that there was a file corrupted when the current generation of iTunes, but Apple had set and you just need to reinstall the current version, which I did.  I have reinstalled iTunes by suggestions from different site.  After reinstalling iTunes and restart, I can always have my phone to connect to internet via the USB cable.

  I want to be able to connect my laptop to the internet using my phone via the USB cable.  I want it all works just as it did previously.  Connection via WiFi is a pain in the ass, because it does not work half the time and disconnects on a regular basis.

  Please tell us what should I do to solve this problem.

  Thank you.

  OK, I finally understand how to solve this problem.

  I was able to understand because of this post:

  https://discussions.Apple.com/message/29267225#29267225

  The problem is that Windows 10 was not install appropriate drivers for my iPhone.

  You can see 2 places to see.  We're in the control panel.  After you plug in your iPhone, the iPhone will be displayed and highlighted as not having is not a compatible driver.  The other place is in "Devices and printers", there you will see 3 apple devices: 1 Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, iPhone 2, and 3. Apple iPhone.  All three appear when I plugged in my iPhone.

  However, the problem was one that said iPhone really should have said "Apple Mobile Device Ethernet".

  So, how to fix this?

  Open devices and printers-> right click Iphone which should be under "Unscpecified"-> properties-> hardware-> Propterties tab-> change settings-> tab driver-> update driver-> Browse my computer for software Local-> Browse to the directory "C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support".

  Make sure you have the files box to include under verified.

  Who did.  Windows successfully installed the necessary drivers.  Now, I can easily connect to the internet via the USB cable again without any problems.

  Im running windows vista 32-bit edition Home premium. I have not had my computer lately ive been let my sister use it. IM afraid that even if she was using it she got a virus because now I can't update windows, my microsoft security databases can not be updated either. Ive never had windows defender and essentials of security on that because I don't do much with this computer. Can someone help me understand if I need to reformat or if there is just a problem with my windows update?

  The best approach for a very infected PC
  is a 'Clean Install' you can never be 100% certain that every last bit of the infections have been removed.

  That said if you have time and want to see how you can go to eliminate viruses, malware and bots then read on.

  Start by reading the following information of the Virus removal: (you must first install and run MalwareBytes)
  Provided by: Malke - MS MVP:

  For me on a PC friends who had more than 60 infections and there is no CD of restoration and the key code has been lost, the article above "Malware Bytes", "AVG Free" and Norton NIS 2010 has been around.

  NIS 2011 trial software:

  (Note: the trial download Norton NIS requires a credit card, read the terms 'Opt Out' before you start)
  In addition, a second pass using Malware Bytes and NIS seems to have removed all infections.

• Windows shuts my computer to install updates. He Don't warn me, as he has done before, with option to defer. Corrective action?

  I recently got a new computer. I used to have XP now I have Windows 7. I don't know if I have received prior warnings on this system. I've always had warnings from windows before with XP.

  Eric,

  read here:

  Team blog product Microsoft Update: Windows Update and restarting automatic http://blogs.technet.com/mu/archive/2008/10/02/windows-update-and-automatic-reboots.aspx>

  Change how Windows installs or informs you about updateshttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates>

  If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.

  You can change the setting "notify only". Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded updates are installed commandeLorsque, which they are installed.

  What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

  While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live [as well as Silverlight & Microsoft Security Essentials]. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

  Source: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windowsupdate/FAQ.mspx>

  If you disable Microsoft Update, your default update source is "reversed" update of Windows, but it does NOT neutralize automatic updates.

• Updates Windows 7 Professional beat other features on my computer

  My company recently just bought 3 new PC with Windows 7 Professional on them and 2 of the 3 are working properly. The 3rd on however was to find work until I went to install the updates. Once the updates have been installed I noticed that I was no longer able to access to certain things. As I are more done right click on the desktop and go to personalize. I can also no longer right-click on my computer and go to properties. When I click on one of these nothing happens. I also notice that the appearance of my satrt button changed. He went to a similar round more at XP Start menu button. I did a restore before updates and that's how I know that all this worked well before. Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Hi Melissa,

   

  1. What is the number of KB updates that you install?
  2. how many updates you install both?
  3. do you have any security software installed on the computer?

   

  More than once some non-Microsoft programs will interrupt the installation, updates. We recommend that you turn off non-Microsoft programs and install the updates one at a time and check the result. To do this, try the following steps.
  a. open the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
  b. Article, follow "step 1: perform a clean boot."
  c. restart the computer.
  d. Click Start, type updated and press to enter.
  e. search for available updates and install an update at a time and check the result.
  f. When you are prompted to restart the computer.
  g. Article, follow "step 7: reset the computer to start as usual.
  h. restart the computer so that the changes take effect and check the result.
