Windows 10 - am I wasting my time?

I have Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 with relevant updates, but I have never had the reserve icon in my taskbar and I can't seem to get it by forcing through the wuauclt.exe/updatenow suggested command.

I start thinking as it is a waste of my precious time... thoughts?

Microsoft can make corrections from time to time to improve the chances that it will work.

  • Windows Explorer stops working at random times while browsing files.

    Windows Explorer stops working at random times while browsing files. I tried to fix this by doing a start-up in minimal mode, but without any result.
    It all started with a similar problem, Explorer windows stops working at first upward and restarts and stops working again and restarts again and keeps it doing. I've tried several things like do a clean boot, by safe mode, but even there it happened the same thing but this time, stop once and restart it once, and then it worked normally. When I started windows normally, it did the same thing, so I tried and inplace upgrade and did not work, so finally I did a cover, but only on the first partition, which is the operating system, now I have this problem, Explorer stops working at random times while browsing the folders, it restarts, but then the same thing happens.

    I tried your methods, but still did not work. In the meantime, I did a full restore to two partitions, and it worked. I guess the problem was I uninstalled a few unwanted games, which came with the pc and the anti-virus of the trial.

  • Windows can not activate at this time, try to activate Windows later.

    I bought my laptop 2 months ago and activated windows when I started it upward. Last week, however, for some unknown reason my laptop won't start properly so I had to do a restore to an earlier date. This good all worked but every time I start up it takes me to the screen of the PC settings and tells me to activate windows. When I click on activate "control key" text flashes for a split second, then disappears, nothing happens and it says above "Windows can not activate at this time, try to activate Windows later. If the problem persists, contact Microsoft and online support to activate Windows. "It is incredibly boring because all the days Windows spends half an hour to start the download of updates only so he can fail and take half an hour to undo the changes." My laptop came with Windows 8, so I have not updated. I know my activation key but have nowhere to enter the PC changes screen. I also tried to run the slmgr.vbs-ipk command prompt - followed my unsuccessful activation key, I get error 0 x 80070426. When I go to the Control Panel, system and security, Center of the action, activation of windows and click on activate since there I get error 0xC0000022

  • Wasting my time?

    I'm just now affect some of my After Effects / cinema 4 D mograph to learn a few chops for web animation. I'm wasting my time to learn the edge animate because it is discontinued or will be its features restored Adobe animate CC?

    Thanks in advance.

    Development of EA being abandoned does not prevent you to use it. I always use it in production every day, and it will probably be fine for a long time unless there is an update of the browser brakes which is possible, but extremely unlikely.

    Flash/Animate 2016 includes HTML5 Canvas. It is possible that it will include EA features along the road, but we really don't know at the moment.

    Personally, I think EA is the best product at the moment of making products of css/javascript due to an excellent interface user and relatively easy coding. There are other very good products like Greensock, but it's all coding and no user interface by itself to develop. Of course Greensock may be included in EA. I have a few tutorials about it on Edgehero ( Edgehero |) Edge community animate CC | Homepage ) or on my site ( MJ Page Design).

    I guess that if you do something that is not quite critical, then advance and use EA.
