• Update icon is missing from the system tray

  Salvation Windows XP experts,

  My "Automatic Updates" is set on "download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them", but several times I don't get the icon in the system tray, and it is until I want to shud down my laptop when I get the message "click on disable to install important updates and turn off your computer. , and if I work on the batteries, I don't even get this message. Sometimes I change my setting "Notify Me but don't automatically download or install" hoping that icon will appear, but it's not.

  Recently, I have been informed of the 2 updates to download and agreed, but they got downloaded the icon has disappeared... and when I lock my PC, I got this message because I have new updates have been installed, I clicked on the button "turn off". I was surprised when I saw him on the screen saying 1 of 1 updates is being intalled! I pressed the power button until it exploded and then restarted, it, went into the folder Windows to know he was installing the single update, is not one of the 2 updates that I accepted on! What a f * ing system?

  What can I do to see what updates will be installed on my PC?

  Thank you

  Hello

  If I understand well, you have a little problem with the 'automatic update' - in particular with the notification in the system tray icon. The icon does not appear in the system status bar when updates are ready for instalation - does?

  There is a similar but opposite problem - system "Auto update" displays the icon in the system tray – as they may be new updates installed, but the updated window does not update after clicking on the icon in the system tray:

  http://www.eggheadcafe.com/Microsoft/Windows-Update/29682120/Automatic-Update-icon-stay-on-system-tray.aspx

  So, this has been resolved by removing the "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" directory "C:\WINDOWS" folder

  (before deletion was stopped the service "Windows update").

  What you can try:

  (1) this Fix IT (full reset Windows Update components - including registration of libraries, to rename files ...)

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058/en

  2) install the latest version of the Windows Update Agent (for good communication with the WWW of Windows update server)

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949104/en

  3) only recommend - install the latest IE (IE8) (Select language)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=43

  (4) this Microsoft Genuine Advantage diagnostic (I hope that will be the pages of the SITE in English)

  I confess that I have not read previous answers (PA bear MS MVP) in detail, it is possible that you've already tried this. However, I tried this, if I had similar problems.

  Just one thing. I noticed on restart every time the yellow icon appears in the status bar but only flashes for a second or two, then

  disappears once more. I tried to quickly click on it but it does not.

  I then checked the taskbar customize notification and I found that it presents itself as an element of the past and said that it is associated with the download of updates.

  Syed N:

  Thanks for your suggestions.
  I wanted to post back to update everyone on my current situation.
  I was going to ask your manual correction of the WSUS... when I got home tonight. However, at the start of my PC tonight the Automatic Update icon (yellow) was actually download updates once more and things work like they are supposed to. After the download, the icon shows the balloon which informs you that you have updates available and when I clicked on the icon it was admissible and that it took me to the menu as usual at the.
  Then, I tested several updates in the menu of the AU and downloaded. They were installed properly and allow them left unchecked the icon stay in the tray as usual.
  I don't know what happened, but things are now correct.
  You have an overview on why things "fixed", I would be interested to know the why of it. !!!!!!! It is interesting to me.
  Maybe the MS is really followed this site and or you guys relay these flaws in MS for the correction.
  Thanks for your suggestions, I've forgotten to be able to reset the update components!
  Finally, Syed:
  If you can relay the suggestion to MS. I always liked Windows and like the superior ability I have to control aspects of it unlike OSX (Apple MAC) however the link low is a win (including 7) WIndows update mechanism. I was lucky for me and my family, I'm enough common sense to know how to apply updates to avoid the problems of the operating system, but not everyone has this education and too many times same own OS Win with very little in option programs/software and hardware drivers downloaded) have more up-to-date flaws then seems reasonable.
  I would like to see MS improve WSUS and also more importantly still provide and ENCOURAGE users to take and the advantage of teaching material that MS can offer users to consumers.

  Also thank you for your suggestions. I didn't know that MSE is a culprit in this issue, but you never know.

• All the addon icons are missing in the window customize

  I use FF 3.6.18 on XP, Vista and Win7. Given that FF itself upgrade 3.6.18, Miss all kinds of icons of the addon. Needless to say most of the addons cannot work unless that icon there to click. When I went to the [toolbar Customize] window to drag the icons réécrirait tool/menu/status bars, I find that ALL my icons missing addon. The FF default icons are there, but all the addon icons are missing. I've seen a lot of messages from people with the same problem as FF4 running, but it is not only a problem with version 4. Most of the answers provided were advised going to the window to customize and dragging that icons back out - obviously written by people who have not been read the question very carefully. Others recommend clicking the [restore default icons] button. They did not read the question with much attention either. I have this problem on my PC, those running XP, Vista and 7. Yes, I already ran ladies of virus and spyware, and that has not helped one of my PCs. reinstall the addons is no help either. Since the problem is on all of my PCs in various operating systems and upgraded to FF4 seems to make things worse, it looks like a bug in FF. Most of my friends who use Firefox have the same problem. It is a bug, or is it repairable? Does anyone know how to solve this?

  After, with great difficulty, eliminating the motor leads from my system, I tried half a dozen other things, but ultimately never gave up is fixed without wiping my hard drive clean. However, the latest update of Firefox (3.6.24) solved the problem! on all my computers! Don't know what you people at Mozilla has done, but thank you, thank you, thank you. No idea what caused the problem, or what fixed it, but it's a happy camper now.

• How to replace "apply downloaded update now" with "Check for Updates" in the menu help when the update fails because the downloaded update files are missing but the "Ready to install update" window keeps appearing?

  Question

  I have another type of problem with Firefox

  Description

  Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?

  You can manually reset the software update feature by closing Firefox and remove the file "updates" (which seems you have done) and the two files "active - update.xml" and "updates.xml" - these are in the installation (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) directory or in the profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default).

• Windows Update icon appear not to system tray when an update is available

  Whenever my computer gets an update I see the update available in the off option but not in the system tray. What a way to turn it on? I get updates via WSUS.

  It is likely in the corral of notification.  Next time you see the option off, display of the overlay alert icon, view by the clock and click the triangle to display hidden notifications.  Your Windows Update icon should be there, and you can drag it to the bottom to the toolbar set as a priority so that it is never hidden again.  Note that if there is no update to download or install, the icon will disappear as usual.

  If it solves your problem, click on the link "Propose as answer" below and vote as useful by clicking on the green triangle for the lelft. Thank you!

• Each PC with the Update icon will install Windows 10

  I have the Update icon on my laptop and I even booked my copy of windows 10, but when I go to 'check pc', it shows that my pc is not compatible, can anyone tell me the conditions required for the update

  The reservation application indicates that I have incompatible hardware (IE. CPU, Bluetooth, video card, printer) or software, what do I do?

  You can check the software developer and supplier of equipment for the latest updates before performing the upgrade.

  UPDATE: Please see the following article by Barb Bowman (Microsoft MVP) solutions to this problem.

  Is that what my display graphic or peripheral Bluetooth compatible with Windows 10? Pre-trial showed that it was not.

  

  Microsoft compatibility database is continually updated with new data. What you can do is to regularly run another scanner to see if the database has updated the information about your hardware. Even if you get this message, you can still run Windows Update after installing Windows 10 and download the latest driver too.

• System restored automatically after the installation of updates & a few missing desktop icons.

  Original title: same set of updates on both computers due to different problems, one problem being a system restore.

  I have two Windows 7 computers in my house.  They all have two problems after installing updates a month ago.  The problem for 'Computer 1' is a bigger problem than the problem of the "Computer 2".  2 computer problem not really seems to be a problem now, but I'll give you the information for comparison purposes. Sorry for the length of this post - I am trying to be thorough.

  1 COMPUTER DETAILS:

  News of the computer: Dell Studio 1745 laptop computer running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, six months at the time of the problem, now age of seven months. It came with Norton pre-installed, never used and uninstalled.  Trend Micro Internet Security installed at the beginning of the use of the computer.  Analyses Micro trend came clean.

  Background: set up with a single account (Administrator, of course) and after a few days of putting in place computer, said ale user account for everyday use.  Computer is configured to warn me before downloading/installation of updates of Windows, with permission for each type of account to install Windows updates.

  While in the standard account, I welcomed these download/install updates and was prompted to restart the computer.  I was done with the computer, so I just closed instead of restart.  According to "Your update history Review", it's updates and they were all successful:

  Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB980846)
  Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB982670)
  Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB982519)
  Update Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for x 64 systems (KB982526)
  Cumulative update for Media Center for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB981078)

  After you turn on computer back, everything seemed normal.  I opened Firefox and I got a notice that Firefox has an update is available, a standard user cannot.  Unlike some programs, there is no popup to sign as an administrator, so I went to start > switch user and signed as an administrator.  (There was no update of Firefox at this point - just a switch single user.) That's where the problem appeared: instead of normally load the admin Office, I had to wait while Windows configured my desk (it's new)... wait... wait... wait... wait... BAM!  Your computer has been successfully restored * insert date here * (I don't remember what it was - January of this year, perhaps - because I was so incredulous that it happened and I continued to watch the game "successfully restored").  I do not have the computer to eat, and it don't has not asked me if I wanted to restore it.  He just did, just on its own initiative, when I went on the admin account.  A bunch of shortcut icons are missing from the Office of the admin acct and the ACCT. standard, and wallpaper to the admin account has been changed.  I am not absolutely sure if nothing else was touched.

  I have searched online to try to understand why it happened, and I remember well from my only find, is that if I went to the restoration of the system, there will be an option to cancel it, but I don't see such an option. So I told the computer to eat on a few days to a week before that updates.  It doesn't seem to help.  Shortcut icons are still missing.  Looked at the update history and it shows the five latest updates as being installed successfully, but Windows Update tells me that I need to these five updates AND this time, the little check marks are only already there on four of the five updates listed.  (The first time, the little checkmarks were already there for all five.)  This is the update that is NOT now pre-checked:

  Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB982670)

  Do not reinstall the five updates.  I don't know if I should jump install them again, or if I should install only the
  now, four are already "pre-checked."  I'm very hesitant to install KB982670, because this update seems to be the likely cause of the problem given the fact that it is already pré-coché in the Windows and the following information updates for computer 2.

  Since I installed the latest updates for 1 computer with no apparent problems:

  X 64-July Windows malicious software removal tool (KB890830) 2010
  Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2032276)

  NEWS ON COMPUTER 2:

  The computer news: Systemax desktop running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, a month at the time of the problem, now age of two months.  It has not come with any pre-installed antivirus.  Trend Micro Internet Security installed at the beginning of the use of the computer.  Analyses Micro trend came clean.

  Reminder: Set up immediately with an admin account and a standard account for everyday use.  Computer has been set to automatically download and install updates for Windows, but is about to inform me first.

  At the time of the problem above with the laptop, desktop computer has been enabled.  As all loading,.
  an error message came that there was some kind of issue with the .NET framework.  At another person asked if he knew what was up with that, and it didn't.  Did not note the specific message, thinking he would tell me again if there was a real problem.  I thought it could have been some kind of Windows hiccups when starting the computer, not even knowing about update problems.  I have yet to see this message.  After the number of laptop (computer 1), I took a peek at the desktop computer (computer 2) to check that Windows Update and I saw that an update is available, which is the referenced above same update that the notebook had already the check mark in its box (KB982670), which gives me the choice to check the little to install it.  Very curious, since, as already mentioned, the computer has been configured to automatically download and install Windows updates.  Looked at the update history, and it has already downloaded and installed the other four updates that the laptop has been.  Changed the automatic Windows Update setting to warn me before you download and install updates.  I have not installed the missing update.  Said the only other person in the House who would probably bother install updates to not install it.

  A month later, 2 computer has a notification from Windows update that 21 or 22 updates are available (as a result, by clicking on the icon of the trial of Microsoft Office).  The update not installed a month ago is no longer on the list, and update history shows as having been installed a few days before, apparently because someone else in the House must have thought it looked like a good idea.  I installed all the 'important' updates and have not seen any more problems with computer 2.

  BACK TO THE COMPUTER 1:

  Yes, is there anyone with ideas on how to get 1 computer back to its state before the 5 updates listed above, and what to do about to reinstall some or all of them, I hope, without more problems, for example a random food system does not happen?  I have a feeling I will say that the random system restoration do not occur, but he did.

  Thanks for any help.

  No, I don't use the Norton removal tool.

  IN RE COMPUTER 1 ONLY:

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

• My desktop icons and system tray icons are missing!

  It seemed as if an adobe program trying to install an update, and I cancelled it. All of a sudden all my files/desktop icons were missing. If I go to my folder on the desktop, they do not always, show however, if I search for a specific file name I remember from my old desktop files, it will search, still saying its in the desktop folder... What is the problem?  My option for show desktop icons is checked and tried to re - sort icons by grid, etc. Changed the size too. There is an icon that doesn't disappear and it's Internet Explorer.  Help!

  Hi LuvlyLisaLou,

  1. what adobe update was trying to install?

  2. you receive messages or error codes?

  Step 1:

  You can try to run a SFC scan and check.

  This problem may occur if a system file is missing or damaged.

  You can refer to the method-the System File Checker tool in the following article:

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Step 2:

  If you're still having problems, then you can try a system restore to a restore point that you knew the question...

  Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:
