What's an update? "Updating the functionality of Autorun in Windows"

I have an update that claims to be from MS that says it will update the AutoPlay feature, but it seems it downgrade to the 1990s, by removing support for devices other than optical disc and add multi-step manual required to use some of the features currently available in AutoPlay.  Is this really the millisecond, and if so, what would be the possible gain by installing this upgrade?

  • Where should I contact regarding the functions of newsgroups in Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail?

    Where should I contact regarding the functions of newsgroups in Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail?

    I seem to have problems with Windows Mail, perhaps caused by the update KB978542 and/or run the program WMUtil.

    One of my Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 64-bit machines, whenever I try to start Windows Mail, it displays 0x800C0155 error message, then a message saying that he was unable to start because MSOE. DLL could not be initialized.

    The other has problems of material type instead: it's a laptop with no mouse and no reliable connection to the internet.

    On my Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit machine, I can start Windows Mail, but most local issues have disappeared - only the Inbox is visible.  I already checked that subdirectories for the other files are still present.

    All three of these machines have had problems of backups for months and have had no successful backup for the last two months.

    I have trouble finding enough information about Windows Live Mail without having to install this program if it could avoid these problems or just make it worse.

  • How to update the model of RDS for Windows Server 2012 collection?

    Hi team,

    I want to know how to update the collection of RDS model (model master sysprep) which is used to create the collection?

    I tried the below way but did not get the update of the collection of virtual machines.

    -Start the image of mater of sysprep

    -install the required components

    -resysprep the image and stop it

    -East went to the RDS Collection and added new virtual machines in collection (removed the old his)

    Once created, I opened a session in the machines, but I don't see the updates (I installed some software in the sysprep image however and no is not there in the virtual machines in the pool)

    Can someone let me know if I need to create a whole collection again or the way I do it is a proper way? If it's a good way what could be the reason why I get the new installed software model sysprep image in virtual machines created in the pool, based on the model?

    How do we actually updated for security and other regular patches updated in virtual machines? In my view, we use the same approach?

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Kind regards

  • Can I update the bios with software for windows vista?

    I have a HP Pavilion a1747c desktop computer and I need to update BIOS for virtualization technology. However the update the BIOS only supports Windows Vista, and I have Windows 7. Can I still updated it somehow?

    Yes, you may be able to extract the actual BIOS file of the installation package compressed and use a flash routine appropriate for flashing BIOS under another operating system, but you do so at your own risk. Any damage to your computer by using this process is at your own risk and you take responsibility for it.

  • Did an update of Windows disable the functionality of Gadgets in windows 7 because Windows 10?

    I had a calendar gadget on my Windows 7 Desktop I've used every day.  Since July 29 or 28, 2015, he is liked here, "Gadgets" in the control panel do not work, do a right-click on the desktop and choosing 'Gadgets' do not work, "Platform of Windows Gadget" under the features of windows is enabled.  That's happened?

    Internet Explorer 11 has essentially rendered unusable gadget.  Microsoft said a long time ago that she would not support is more gadgets.

    I guess that they did not base this decision on a survey of preference!
