• WIN8 - system restore ends after a shift of reboot, and then in the advanced options

  Ok.. for some reason any my laptop win 8 has just decided to update itself to win 8.1 - when he does this he discarded my profile and frog marched me through the creation of a new profile with a Microsoft account - something I DON'T WANT especially if I am supposed to connect a Microsoft umbilical cord on my credit card!

  Not happy, I tried to do a system restore to an earlier point by making a shift-restart and then the selection of advanced point-to-point previous system restore options-

  On this operation, you receive a warning that once started: the process cannot be interrupted or stopped... it was four hours ago his will... Now what?

  Finally, why is Windows 8 so horribly difficult?

  Hello

  Is your Windows 8, a copy retail or OEM (OEM)copy?

  As you have already started the system restore and it does not end, the only option you have is to force restart the computer and check if you are able to boot to the desktop. If you are able to boot to the desktop, then check what operating system is installed at present. If you have Windows 8.1, the only option is to perform the refresh.

  How to refresh, reset or restore your PC

  Note: Applications that you have installed Web sites and DVD is deleted. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

  I hope this helps! Let us know if you have other problems with Windows in the future.

• (Windows 8) System Restore how can I?

  Guys,

  I was see several issues since windows 8A are released on the no sound, Apps, and other small problems with the operating system and laptop.

  System Restore is a software available in all versions of Windows 8. System Restore automatically creates points of restoration, a memory of the system files and settings on the computer to a point in time. You can also create a restore point. Then, when you use the system restore to restore your computer to a point in time before the beginning of the program, the System Restore returns your computer for files and settings of the restore point. Your personal files and documents are not affected.

  Most of these features worked fine until an installation (Windows), or just randomly stopped working.

   

  As a general rule, when a features quit working all of a sudden the system restore will bring the laptop at a time where the features on the laptop was working.

   

  When you do this step, you must be sure to save any information or downloads you recently installed on a flash drive or any type of removable media.

   

  System Restore is a great feature that HP and other manufactured goods have to give you the possibility of not losing the functionality at any time while having the laptop.

   

  

  First of all, here is the document that will help guide you in this step.

  While taking these steps, I must warn to re-register you please any information you have recently saved or downloaded.

  Hope it will be useful for you guys!

• Firefox Sync has restored after a mysterious Win8.1 'no - system restore' by ~ 1 month; addons lost and bookmarks in this period.

  Situation quite messy/weird here. I woke up this morning to find that my Win8.1 was reduced to a 1 month whose state of my Firefox Sync State. Bookmarks seemed to be updated but not the series of modules. I clicked the sync button in the hope it would refresh things on the last saved state to my e-mail last night, but he churned through and then my favorites, it was missing the last 1 month. I'm having problems with WIn8.1, too, that event viewer shows no system restore (and will not allow me even open the system restore) and event poster Viewer half a dozen updates Apps I never user as the only activity that happened during the night. Any ideas on wtf that happened here and how fix?

• Install the software and registry keys for the windows installer I screwed up after a system restore, what can I do?

  After you install an update, which forced me to restart my laptop, I had to do a restore point, because it stops while windows is loading files of the update, which led me to a restoration of the system, which has messed up a large number of windows registry keys install leaving me unable to open the following software:

  • Skype
  • Avira (but not the antivirus) Launcher
  • Java

  I can not install or uninstall these programs, either because I need to an .msi file that does not match the latest version of these programs, the program does not appear in the uninstall Manager or just installer does not at all, so what can I do to correct these programs and be able to install their return

  The just Java installer does not appear when I double click on the .exe, no matter if it is the x 64 or 32 bits, and I can't uninstall it because it does not appear in the uninstall Manager.

  Avira Launcher Installer, ask me for a .msi to remove the last version, but I can't, if the installation fails, also the program does not appear in the uninstall Manager.

  The Skype installer just cannot be updated, and I uninstalled it with a 3rd party uninstaller, but now it's just throw a critical failure when starting to install

  My main question is, how can I solve these installers, should I format this laptop and do a clean install of windows?

  Hello

  Please contact Microsoft Community.

  After the description of the problem, I understand that you are not able to install programs after system restore.

  In this case first I'd say allowing you to run the cities in trouble it automatically repair the issues that block the installation program or delete because of corrupted registry keys.

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall?WA=wsignin1.0

  After that it fixes if you have any third party anti virus try to disable it from your computer and then try to install these programs.

  WARNING:

  Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Try these steps and ley, we know the results.

  I hope this helps.

  Kind regards

• System Restore causes anti-virus software malfunction?

  I had a big problem with my antivirus program after that I did a system restore.

  My antivirus provider said that the system restore deletes their program component
  updates and definitions of model virus and causes a need to uninstall and
  Re - install their software.

  The complaint is often coming from Symantec (Norton). Norton and McAfee are two anti-virus best left on the shelf. There are other products, many freeware, where you encounter any problems with the system restore.

• Software Distribution Service 3.0. my wallpaper, all my documents, my videos, my photos, my desktop shortcuts, etc. all gone. has had to do a system restore. How can I avoid this in the future?

  XP Professional 5.1.2600 Pack 3. Automatic updates are on. After that an automatic update on Mei and June 2012 identified as Software Distribution Service 3.0 my wallpaper, all my documents, my videos, my photos, my desktop shortcuts, etc. all gone. has had to do a system restore. How can I avoid this in the future?

  Software distribution service 3.0 is a system restore point, not an update.

  When an update is installed a SDS is created.

  To check the name of the update, go to the Microsoft Update Web site and check your update history, search for the date, that the error occurred.

  Also make sure that your system is clean:

  Download, install, update and scan with these full free malware detection programs:

  I guess 'Mei' is your abbreviation of Microsoft Security Essentials under your antivirus protection, is this correct?

• Why Software Distribution 3.0 appears on my Microsoft (restore point) system restore almost every day?

  original title: software distribution service 3.0

  Why Software Distribution 3.0 appears on my Microsoft (restore point) system restore almost every day?  What is it?

  The Software Distribution Service 3.0 Restore Point is created when new Microsoft updates are downloaded and installed.

  Depending on the configuration of your system, the updates can be downloaded and installed automatically as we never see what is happening.

  For example (this is what I usually see), if you use Microsoft Security Essentials and an update of MSE comes out every day, you can't "see" anything on your system to tell you about this, but when the ESM update is installed, a new called Restore Point "Software Distribution Service 3.0" will be created. "

  If MSE gets several updates per day, you will see a new PR of 3.0 SDS created for each of them, so it would be possible to have several SDS 3.0 Restore Points per day.  Alternatively, you can have one for MSE and another for some other day.  Some days you won't see any SDS 3.0 created restore points.

  Of course, there are other reasons, you might see a new SDS 3.0 Restore Point and you might be curious to know what is all just never one see you.

  Among the technical support engineers Microsoft will surely be able to tell how to look at each new SDS 3.0 Restore Point you have and tell you how to determine exactly what was in this update of the Software Distribution (if you're curious).

  The reason in question do not contain the required information may be because there is no incentive to enter the required information when you create a new question.

  The odds on this planet someone reading "How to ask a question" before asking a question are extremely unlikely, therefore (if the forums wanted more useful), the forums Microsoft Answers would invite for information, when a new question is asked.

  Even the discussion in the article "How to ask a question" is quite ridiculous that it does not describe the same basic information that should be in a new topic.

  This gross oversight in the way the new positions are created in these forums in frustration results, guess, lost time and wasted cycles then message that this information is being collected.

• Problem with SP3 - cannot uninstall or system restore

  Here's my problem. I am running Windows XP, and the longer I could not install Service Pack 3. Finally, it worked and I thought that everything was going well until I rebooted. When it restarts and relit, first thing, that it says is that my version of Intel Audio Studio does not support the Board detected, I think, only is not supported by my advice. It took a little longer to start, my microsoft security essentials do not work either nor I have my internet icon and other programs that should be in the corner, but I can always get online. Also, I can't drag files or copy and paste elsewhere, either.  The next thing I thought to do was, try to uninstall the service pack. Without success. It gives me an error "specified file is not found." So, I then decided to try a system restore. I can't do yet! He said "system restore is not protecting your computer." Restart and try again. "It's something like that happened. So, my next step was try in safe mode, no luck there either. What can I do? Help, please.
