What should I do if after an update is installed something no longer works?

Hi JohnEvrard,

It depends on the update and the program that was hit.

To find out what update is causing the problem note the installed updates. You can perform the system restore and restore the system to the date that the program worked very well.

Once the restore is complete, install the standalone product of each update and check if the problem occurs in the program.

I see you have another post in which you mentioned Windows Live mail orthographic corrector does not work after update.

If the query in this post is in regards to Windows Live mail, I suggest you follow the steps provided by PA Bear for better assistance.

  • After having recently updated windows, some programs no longer work. In addition, System Restore does not work.

    After having recently updated windows, some programs no longer work.  Also, when I went to do a system restore, that he would not allow me to restore to an earlier date.  Among the programs that no longer work are VLC Media player, ieploxer, f.lux.  Even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled they would not load correctly.  I would get the splash screen for the program, but noting else.  When I am gone in Windows Task Manager the program would not appear in Applications, but there are processes running.  And an interesting thing, the exe afficheraient use of the 72K memory.  Still, even for different programs.

    What can I do?

    Start the command prompt, and then type

    sfc/scannow

    Do check and see what the result is.

    Hello Julian

    If you still encounter this problem, please try the following troubleshooting steps.

    Solution 1: Sign out of Lightroom 5.5 and then connect back with your Adobe ID

    Solution 2:

    Set the permission to the folder SLStore & SLCache:

    NOTE: Do this twice, once each for the SLCache and SLStore files.

    Mac:

    • Use the Finder to navigate to/Library/Application Support / Adobe / SLStore or/Library/Application Support / Adobe / SLStore.
    • Control-click on the folder and choose read information.
    • Expand the section sharing & permissions.
    • Click on the padlock icon in the lower corner on the right. Enter your administrator user name and password when you are prompted, and then click OK.
    • Set permissions:

    System: read/write

    Admin: read/write

    Everyone: read/write

    • Click the gear icon and select apply to closed. Close the dialog box for information.

    Win 7 / 8 to win:

    SLStore: ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore
    SLCache:

    Win 32 bit: program files Files\Adobe\SLCache\

    Win 64 bit: Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\SLCache\

    • In the file Explorer, right click on the SLCache or SLStore folder, and then select Properties.
    • Click the Security tab and set the permissions:

    Administrators: Full control

    Power users: all except extraordinary and a total control

    System: Full control

    Users: Read and extraordinary

    • Click on advanced and, if requested, accept the (UAC) user account control elevation prompt.
    • Click on the owner tab, select administrators and click on modify.
    • Select Replace owner of subcontainers and objects. Click on apply and then click OK.
    • Click the permissions tab, and then click on change permissions.
    • Select Replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object. Click OK, click Yes.
    • Click OK, and then click OK in the Windows Security dialog box. Click OK to close the advanced security settings dialog box.

    Suggestion 2: Rename the SLCache folder and relaunch Lightroom 5.5

  • When I update Windows 7, Aero no longer works

    This seems to be a common problem, but I was not able to find a solution. I currently run an ASUS laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, processor i7 Q720 and GPU NVidia GTX260M. I always installed updates as required, however, when I install updates currently aero effects no longer work.

    I tried the troubleshooting, and it detects any problems. I checked that my monitor is running in true color (32 bit) and everything seems fine here. I also have the latest NVidia driver.

    If I restore the system before the update, it will return to operation. I thought he was one of the updates of windows that did, so I installed each individually (IE 10 and a defender of windows update) but the result is the same in either. I then tried to install an optional update randomly and the same thing happened. Any suggestions?

    If you have updated your Windows then uninstall the update of platform for Windows 7 (KB2670838) and your problem should be solved.

    Before I updated my Windows this month I just checked if Microsoft still offer this update. This is in the optional list. I installed so I thought to manually upgrade to IE10 because he wasn't in the IE9 update list. So I did manually and after that check updates again and to my surprise this update has disappeared completely. I have an old PC as well, and after installing all the updates I still have no problems so far.
    System Restore may also help in some cases.
  • What should I do when after Lightrom 6 worked OK and I was rocking it draws to develop, all of a sudden I have started getting the message "folder or file not found?

    I downloaded photos successfully in Lightroom 6 and were able to develop and even export but suddenly in the process of development or export, Lightroom gives the message "File not found" and "file cannot be found. These pictures are already in Lightroom, how can't he not know where they are? And is it a problem with Lightroom, my computer, or what I did? And what should I do to correct this?

    Photos are never stored in Lightroom. They are stored on your hard drive somewhere, instead you put them, or to the place where you education Lightroom to put them.

    Lightroom is a database. When you import a pohtos, a record is created in the database for each photo, which contains the file name and the location of each photo. When the photo is no longer in the location Lightroom is looking (because somehow the file or folder has been moved, renamed or deleted outside of Lightroom), Lightroom indicates that it does not find the photo (or the photo is missing).

    Therefore, find the photo using your operating system. Once you have found the photo, you must tell Lightroom where the photo is, and what's his name. The exact tools used in this step are described here indetail: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

  • After the FireFox 16.0.1 in Windows Update, the address bar no longer works, as well as the search bar, but not immediately. Reinstalling does not fix it.

    Initially, I downloaded an AOL optimized version, but when the problem came I reinstalled the regular version and it was fine. Two days ago, it restarts randomly. Address bar won't go anywhere with entry or press the arrow and the search bar does any search engine. Try adding a search engine by clicking on "manage search engines" doesn't help; the 'Add a search engine' button is unresponsive and there is not in the list of your choice. I uninstalled everything, including my customizations and settings personal and reinstalled, which did not always help. I tried to disable all plugins and that no longer works. I even tried the search by looking for FireFox homepage, since at this time there, it was the only page I could do and even who would not find. The most recent that I downloaded add-on was the Evernote Web Clipper I think, but it does not seem to coincide with the beginning of the problems.

    Update: I ran a malware (MalWareBytes) program and it came with nothing. I also found in FireFox to get troubleshooting information and added in. In addition, here is my list of plugin/extension:

    Plugins:
    Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.1.530
    Google Earth Plugin 6.2.0.5788
    Google 1.3.21.123 update
    Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.90.5 10.9.2.5

    Glad it worked. Thanks for posting back.

    You previously installed another version of Firefox and if it did not seem possible that one would contribute to a clean reinstall, but it is not a general solution that all users should be considered without first try simpler and safer alternatives.

  • Portege M800 - after Windows 7 upgraded FN keys no longer works

    Hello
    I upgraded my * portege M800 * bought * Canada * for * 64-bit Windows 7 *.
    Everything is good except the keyboard. It's a Canadian bilingual keyboard with 86 keys with 13 function keys and a buttons on console with 6 keys (cut, cd/dvd, play, stop, previous, next).
    I don't update all the drivers because it works very well with Windows 7 drivers.

    The problem is:
    -function keys (Fn +..) no longer works
    -the buttons of the console with 6 keys (play, pause, etc.) no longer work

    What I did:
    -check the keyboard driver in Device Manager: it is a microsoft driver
    -a attempted to update a driver toshiba but * he didn't find in the list of drivers for windows 7 or vista on toshiba website *: [http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/download/PORTEGE_M800_64_cae.htm]

    So, I don't know if it's a driver problem or something else?

    Concerning

    Hey,.

    These special functions of the FN keys and multimedia keys have nothing to do with the keyboard driver. There is no update driver in addition to the keyboard. There is only the Windows standard driver that can be used.

    The point is that you have Toshiba Value added Package and Flash Cards Support utility. If you purchased the M800 in the Canada, I guess that it of a model Canadian and as a result, you can download all drivers here:
