    In two weeks, after an update of HP launched automatically, my monitor is not recognized - I tried to restart my PC via the power button, but the action brought everything back without interruption to the place.  Finally I made the necessary update HP closed down and all was back to normal.  Last night I made a full stop and a Windows 7 launched updates (do not turn off your computer, etc..).  This morning when I powered back upward, I got messages on the windows during Setup, etc, then everything returned normally.  I worked for a few hours and left the machine - it entered into mode 'sleep' and now I can't get out of fashion "Eve".  If I power cycle the monitor, I can messages same "cannot detect.  If I try to shut down the PC via the power button, the light is orange/sleep, I hear a humming, then seeing if off, then back to orange/snoring, reverse, etc..  Keeps the bike like this.  I'm afraid that question a couple of weeks may have been a sign of early warning of a problem of h/w, but am not sure.  Can anyone help?  I am not very savvy h/w... and hope that it is something more simple than that.  The PC is 2.5 years.

Without having to reinstall all the software, what I can do, as I have not changed anything other than subscribe to automatic update of Windows? (It makes me want to stop the update btw, if the updates affect the normal performance of my laptop).

    A new update for Windows 8 rises to fix this audio problem?

    Welcome to any other measure to solve the problem? -Many thanks.

  • Bad patch after automatic update: Windows will not start

    I am running a 32 bit Windows Vista and my automatic updates recently installed "major updates", but there must be one which is mess up my computer. Fortunately, I was able to do a restore of the system on my computer right before when the updates are installed, my computer is working again and the error code that was spotted in the restoration of the system was that there was a bad patch. Updates were: KB2288613 (a security update for microsoft office 2003), KB2347290, KB975558 KB981322 KB2141007 (all updates for windows vista security) and KB905866 (update for windows mail junk e-mail filter).

    I was wondering if anyone else has had a problem with these or any other patches automatically downloaded? I restored my computer so that it will continue to work for me, but I can't keep ignoring important updates for my computer. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem and to keep my computer don't step back after an update? Would be trying to download one at a time (then by restarting after each download) in order to remove the update is causing the problem to the best idea at this stage? Maybe that way I can just ignore than AN update...

  • USB ports does not work after automatic update in Windows 8.

    Hello

    There was an automatic update that occurred a few nights ago on my computer that I never knew until after that I turned on my computer back the next day. The computer starts up, then stopped and restarted about twice more - a total of three reboots in all.
    It is really annoying, because my Bluetooth has also stopped working a few days before. So I'm completely paralyzed - I've been using USB keyboard and mouse since the Bluetooth went bankrupt. I can not connect.
    The computer starts as usual. The 'numlock' keyboard lights, like the optical light under the mouse; This happens just before the Windows loading screen. However once windows loading screen comes and the "pearls" downstairs begin circulating, the mouse and the keyboard go quiet. I am sure that there is no hardware problems, and the keyboard and mouse work on my Mac very well.
    I tried system restore and PC options refresh on the Startup Options page, but unfortunately, my hard drive is unlocked, and system restore won't work; It says that I need to specify which Windows Installation to restore. I also tried my options with the Windows CD.
    Do a complete restore of the system is not really something I want or feel that I can do. Being the sidenote, I have school work on this machine in question, and it was already over. Otherwise, I would have not had any problems.
    Anyone had this problem before?

    Hi, I just have this problem, but I have noticed that the driver has been disabled, when I activated, it works fine now.

  • Windows has completely changed since the automatic updates

    My PC with Windows 8 began an automatic update about 3 days ago. I can't do anything to cause this. It took a long time to complete. Anyway, when it's over, it was as if I had a completely different PC. Now, when I turn it on, it goes straight to the office rather than to start with the tiles Page. When I change to the Start Page, it's completely different. She added 8 new applications, and the bottom of the page is different. If I want to pin a site or application to the Start Page, this selection has gone, and I don't know how to get it back. I don't know what happens, but I wish it was the way it was. What can I do or where I can find what to do to fix this? Help, please!

  • Sudden appearance of error STOP C000021A after automatic update of Windows

    Everyone knows a sudden STOP errors after that update Microsoft has done for his actions in the background? I'm setting up a SL500 for a client who has crashed all of a sudden with a STOP C000021A error. This error number (and the minidump file) point about csrss.exe crashing. The machine is no longer usable in 'normal' mode but it does not start in "safe" mode A review of the microsoft update log file reports the accident happening right after that the update ran. Before I nuke XP and opt for a restore to factory (as well as reinstall/configuration) I would like to know if others have seen this happen recently.

    In response to my own question here: I managed to do that work again. It turns out that the automatic update is more or less malware Microsoft's "Office Genuine Advantage". Remember, once again, why people accept this type of behavior of a business entity... No, not only to accept but reward in continuing to do business with them. Something in the water maybe?

  • main admin deleted after automatic update

    A got a dell pc that came w w Vista Norton anti virus, somehow the main administrator has been deleted after an automatic update, whenever you try to do something ask password admin, no password was never created, suggestions how this can be fixed or main admin restore?  The main administrator has completely disappeared off the coast of user accouts, shows only any other user who is not admin.  Use of the pc is very limited, not working right since he get up and running... so impossible to restore the main admin is it possible to uninstall vista and Add XP or 7

    Hi Mama04,

    1. what update has been installed on the computer?

    Automatic update cannot remove or modify the user accounts on the computer.

    If no password is always set on the computer, and then try to empty password i.e. press ENTER when never password prompt.

    Method 1

    I suggest that you perform the system restore using the installation disc of Windows vista to the point before the update was installed.

    Also check the update has been installed before the problem occurred.

    (a) open Windows Update by clicking Start , all programsand then click Windows Update.

    (b) in the left pane, click view update history.

    Try the step below to achieve the system restore using the Windows vista installation disc.

    If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

    (a) Insert the installation disc.
    (b) restart your computer.
    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.
    (c) If you are prompted, Press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    Note  If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, seeBIOS: frequently asked questions.
    (d) choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    (e) click on repair your computer.
    (f) to select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    (g) in the System Recovery Options menu, click System Restore.
