Windows 10 install doesn't work not after reboot (works fine until the PC is rebooted).

It's bad enough. Upgrade to windows 10. Wanted to ensure that I started with a clean slate, so I have uninstalled FireFox, and then use the new edge of Windows browser to download the latest version of FireFox.

He moved very well, remembers my bookmarks and settings, etc. Everything seems fine.

But after a system restart, the FireFox icon on the desktop and the taskbar are just blank page icon, and when you try to run the program it says it cannot be found, or that I don't have permission to run it.

Let's not get too hung up on how the bad error message is (go, Windows, who is?), the problem is that a program that worked very well until I rebooted now is not found or all of a sudden, I don't have permission to run it?

The problem is if I try to boot from the desktop shortcut or if I go directly into C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox and double-click on Firefox.exe.

I tried the things:

1. check the properties of the installer to download stub (Firefox Setup Stub 40.0.3.exe). I noticed that it was reported as a program that had been downloaded on the Internet and could be 'blocked '. So I checked the 'Unlock' button Did an uninstall, and then run Setup again. Everything is fine. Restart - same problem.

2. check the properties of the installer to download stub (Firefox Setup Stub 40.0.3.exe). I noticed that there are two weird entries 'unknown user' in the settings of security with a sort of GUID. I removed those two. Did an uninstall, and then run Setup again. Everything is fine. Restart - same problem.

3. do you have an uninstall, and then run the installer as administrator (after making the above changes). Everything is fine. Restart - same problem.

I'm out of ideas.

A diagnosis by a Microsoft technician during a support chat session!

If you want to do a clean install of FireFox on your Windows machine after upgrading to Windows 10, but you had FireFox installed on Windows 7 or Windows 8 before the upgrade, you must uninstall the TWO FireFox and install the service of Maintenance of Mozilla before performing cleaning.

If you uninstall FireFox but not the service of Maintenance of Mozilla, you will get the squirrels I described, where FireFox stops working after a reboot or a disconnection / connection.

I think this is related to the BS that Microsoft introduced with Windows 10 where, after installing FIreFox, if you click on the button that says that you want FireFox to be your default browser is not only to persist this setting directly. Need you to the configuration screen of Windows 10 for default programs, which is not at all intuitive, especially those based on past behavior.

I think that FireFox should put an explanatory text (on the page where you click on the button to make FireFox the default browser) which explains what Microsoft is up to.

  • Satellite L300 - external screen works fine until the Windows login

    Hello world

    I am trying to use an external display with my Toshiba Satellite L300 and it works up until I have to Log in Windows (or in Ubuntu just had the same problem).

    At this point, the laptop does not seem to recognize the external display more and jump using the internal screen again.

    The problem occurs in both systems.

  • Powers of laptop on but Vista doesn't come not after I tried to use the restore point?

    My HP laptop running Vista had some performance issues (my husband has used it) he had begun to restart itself on a law on a regular basis in the middle of him to help, so I thought I would try to use a restore point to see if it would help.

    He acted like he normally does to eat, but then it wouldn't start again. To be clear, the laptop turns on but does not boot to Windows. Windows error recovery screen turns on and gives the choice of Safe Mode, Mode safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt or start Windows normally Mode.

    I have it turned back and tried to use it in each mode Safe Mode with command prompt because I don't know what to do if it came like that. Whenever I've tried these other settings I get tell screen... Loading Windows files... .you go really fast... system32 drivers start loading then nothing else to a blank with the cursor on it and then screen after awhile the screensaver out of lights but that's it.

    I don't know much about fixing anything beyond using restore points, so I have no idea what to do.  Any help would be appreciated!

  • Windows Media Center extender on my XBOX works initially, but not after reboot of my XBOX. Error: Failed to connect to the Xbox 360 could not connect to the windows Media Center computer.

    It's VERY odd and very annoying!

    I set up my laptop next to my Xbox 360 with an Ethernet cable directly connecting the laptop to the XBOX, and the laptop is on our wireless network. The XBOX has access to the internet (shared through the laptop), and when I test the PC connection and the connection XBOX Live sound fine to all.

    So I'll try to set up Windows Media Center, it works great! I "Add Extender", put the code to 8 digits. It passes through the installation, all works, no problems and WMC opens on the XBOX, I can go into my library, watch movies etc... works great!

    However! As soon as I turn my XBOX off and back on, it will fail to connect to the WMC.

    He says his 'find Windows Media Center PC' which seems to work fine, it goes to the ' Windows Media Center loading screen "contact...". ", and after about 10 seconds, I get an error"failed to connect the Xbox 360 could not connect to windows Media Center PC. Make sure that the PC is turned on and connected to the network.

    I tried to configure the Extender repeatedly, whenever it works fine until I restart the XBOX... :/ - and its strange cause I still the internet connection (shared through the laptop) after turning on the XBOX, its really JUST Media Center which is screwing around.

    She continues to keep trying to connect then repeatedly fails.

    If I wanted to, I could re-configuration the WMC Extender EVERY TIME turn off the Xbox, which works the first time without fault, but that's all just stupid.

    I can't really understand what is happening here... any help would be appreciated.

  • How can I resolve this - AUTHORIZATION has BEEN REVOKED CS5 INSTALL doesn't WORK on Mac OS SIERRA SAYS the APP

    I had to reformat my Macbook air to update the operating system OS Sierra

    with everything deleted, I am trying to re-download my adobe photoshop cs5 extended... I downloaded successfully the dmg, but the guest of installation inside it will not work warning saying 'Install' cannot be opened. you must eject the disk image.

    then when I click on the? It is said

    authorization of the application has been revoked

    There may be a problem with this App. Although the application has been signed by an identified developer, revoked the certificate for the app and it cannot be opened.

    check with the Mac App Store or the developer of the software to see if there is an updated release of this app.

    so I talked to someone on the chat to adobe but they say they don't provide support for the current version products and told me to talk to Mac... Then I talked to Mac and they told me to ask if adobe has a compatible version for OS Sierra... went back to adobe they gave me icon apple steps - system preferences - security and privacy - blocking - click on download from anywhere - unlock - it did not work and they said the problem is that I use a beta version of the software (Sierra) that's why the error shows and that the solution should have said fixed operating system has not been started and is not tried and tested... I'm going to my version is not beta, because they have officially launched yesterday... and told me to ask adobe to publish an updated version that works on the Mac Sierra...

    of course, none of them have helped...

    Anyone have any ideas?

    I'm not good with computers, software and my head is about to pop, last resort's downgrade to the operating system that I used before... to run cs5 coz I need it... unless someone has a solution pls... Here's all the details... Sorry for the test

    Hi, I think I might have a solution, I'm busy now installing CS5 premium on a new installation of sierra, but will let you know if there are problems! I had the same problems as Britz00, very frustrating!

    After I had run the patch to allow 3rd party applications will be installed, (in a terminal such as suggested by K Perkins) instead of a double click on the installer in the terminal I dragged the exec 'install '. by opening a Terminal window and which seemed to work? (open the "Adobe CS5 Design premium Installer", then right click on the 'install' folder and click on "view the contents of the package in the menu drop-down down that pop-up, then double-click the"content"folder, then double-click the"MacOS"folder.") The exec 'Install '. file is the one that I dragged by opening a Terminal window) hope it makes sense. (Sorry, I'm terribly inept to explain technical things in computer)

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as

    I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect.  It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC).  Help!

    Always recommended to reset the airport back to settings by default and then set up again whenever you have a new modem or change your Internet Service provider.

    Turn off the new modem for at least 30 minutes. More is better.

    Perform a hard reset on the AirPort Extreme, then it turned off.

    Make sure that the Ethernet cable connects the modem to the "O" on the AirPort Extreme WAN port

    After the power of the modem 30 minutes down, turn on the modem and let it run for at least 5 minutes by itself.

    Then, turn on the airport and let it run a few minutes

    Set up AirPort Extreme again

    Important note... There are many reports of problems with the modem Arris SB and airports. Both are great products, but they do seem to work perfectly together for some users.

    installed a keyboard and wireless mouse and the mouse works fine, but the keyboard types the wrong keys! Any ideas? Thank you

    Wired or wireless - is usually not serious unless the wireless can get more interference.  If the keyboard is close to the receiver which is connected to the computer and you get the strikes hurt - my suggestion is to try first the keyboard on another computer.

    To do this, * not * require you to install specific drivers.  Simply unplug the combo of a computer and in the other and see if the keyboard works correctly.  Then, you can troubleshoot from there.
