  Method 1: Check with another keyboard.

  Try a different keyboard on your computer. If it works well when you connect a different keyboard, the issue may be with the keyboard.

• Why a shortcut for Microsoft Update doesn't appear in the start menu as it always has in previous installations?

  In this latest new installation of Windows XP Pro when I upgraded from Windows Update, Microsoft Update no item does appear in the start menu in previous installations? Can I remove Microsoft Update and then reinstall it? Can I manually install the shortcut? I'm comfortable editing the registry.

  Off topic, I know, but you can work some magic for another problem. When I boot, when half of the icons appear in the notification area, I get a message that Windows Firewall is disabled. After the last icons appear, the message disappears and the firewall turns on again. It's annoying, and I'd love to [repair]. Thank you.

  Assuming that the message "the Windows Firewall is disabled" comes from the Security Center (Windows), looks like you see what we call a "race condition". Essentially, Security Center is loading before the Windows Firewall was fully charged (may be due to the amount of NAV system resources then uses what he loads and runs his own control over the firewall).

  Until the warning goes away in a few minutes, don't worry, you see a normal behavior (for Windows XP).

• What are the programs in the start menu in Windows 7

  Hello

  Assuming that I get a new computer and I just installed Windows 7 and nothing else. What are the programs will then be in the start menu?

  As the current state of things, my computer starts very slowly, so I don't want to uninstall something if it is vital to start Windows 7.

  Thank you

  JIMOA

  While nothing in the Startup tab is vital to win it can prevent vital programs from functioning as expected.

  And if you buy a new PC, it would normally win pre-installed and the manufacturer will have also included all kinds of utilities/Add-ons not less a trial anti-virus program

• What happened to the shortcut on the start menu in Windows?

  After the Muse on Windows 10 2015.2, I can no longer pin the program in my Start menu, which is the case until now, I always recorded. I can not even find the program by searching for, and it is not in the folder program files. To open the program, I had to do it directly from the Adobe cloud program, and I later opened by double just by clicking on one of the Muse files I was working with. I can still pin Muse to the taskbar, but I'd really rather in the start menu, I have try to keep the taskbar pretty clean and do not use Muse too often that the other programs that I keep there.

  In any case, this change in the installation by design is? Seems very counterintuitive not to be able to access it from the same location as other programs Adobe. I really have no idea where the executable file is still at the present time.

  Hi Brett,

  Thank you for pointing out this bug! The shortcut on the start menu should be back in our latest version of Muse, version 2015.2.1.21.

  Thank you

• Windows Live Mail does not present as an option for default programs or in the Start Menu.

  Something happened this week. I can't identify enough exactly when so I can't say with certainty whether or not it is the new update of 2011.

  I use Windows Live Mail (desktop application) for the mail. It is installed and since I built the machine first. I've recently updated for 2011 through Windows Update. In the Start Menu, the default e-mail link no longer works. If I go to customize, I have the options of Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, and Outlook. If I select Windows Live Mail, it launches a web browser to go to live.com and use Hotmail (which I don't use).

  Now, if I choose Windows Mail, and then re - open Windows Live Mail manually, I can set it by default. In this case, when I go back into the Start Menu, the link is there but empty and you get a message that "the selected item is not available. It might have been moved, renamed, or deleted. You want to remove from the list? "I can't get around that. Under "Default programs" in the Control Panel, Windows Live Mail is not yet there. It's as if she is not yet installed, and whatever the shortcut points to (wherever it may be) is apparently nothing. In the registry, under HKLM/Software/customers/Mail, there is no key for 'DLLPath' and "LocalizedString" as there are other programs.

  I must point out that repair installation does not help and neither does file and reinstalling.

  I managed to solve the problem.  I received an email from another user and I'm sorry to say, I do not remember what were the instructions in the email.  The answer to (y) our problem used to exist on the web, until Microsoft has removed the old answers live site, or something like that.

  IIRC, I believe that it was fixing the misdirected registry keys.

• E-mail on the Start Menu of Windows Vista top icon does not work

  Icon of e-mail on the top of the Start Menu of Windows Vista does not work. It displays a generic icon and when clicked shows an error message that reads as follows: "Explorer.EXE - Application not found. What I want to do is to launch Windows Live Mail (version 2009). The application works normally at the start of the Menu start Windows Live Group. I can not select Windows Live Mail as the default mail in the window client Customize Start Manu, because it does not appear there at all. There is an entry under the name "Windows Live Mail", but it defines the mail client by default for the site Web of Windows Live Mail, not the program. I tried to reinstall and repair Windows Live Essentials, but neither helped.

  Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

• new tile on the start menu does not work as a dinamic tile

  News tile in Start menu it works dynamically, such as sports or travel tiles. I reinstall windows app but still does not. This morning, I find an update for the news, but still does not work. I can't configure my RSS, just to see the sources all over the world, by continents.

  PS I have active Microsoft account permanently, in user accounts.

  Hi SoranaChiriac,

  Thanks for the post. I'm sorry to hear the news about the start menu tile does not work as a dynamic tile on the computer of Windows 8.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this.

   

  1. what happens when you try to add a new source to the app?

  2. is the application works normally aside from the direct tiling?

  3. is the active live tile?

  4 live tiles to other apps work?

  5. have you already worked the live tile?

  6. If so, what changes did you do before the show?

   

  Your response is very important for us to ensure a proper resolution. Please get back to us with the information above to help you accordingly.

   

• On the start menu control panel does not work

  When I click on the start menu control Panel icon, it says and I quote": {26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}"the RPC server is unavailable." All other icons are thus working computer, network, printers, etc all its only the control panel is not working. Two questions how to fix this and what is the RPC server?

  Hi I.Saenz,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2 when was the last time it was working fine?

  3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  Remote procedure call (RPC) is a part of Windows programs, which is "an interprocess communication technique that allows the software client and server to communicate." CPP is designed to provide a common interface between applications, making it easy for programs to communicate with the servers.

  Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Restart the computer to return to normal mode

  If the problem persists in safe mode then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  For more information please visit the link below.
