Windows 7 has changed after the Automatic Updates - screen resolution may not change back

Last night was automatic updates from Microsoft.  Today, the resolution of the screen and the icons are huge.   Tried to change the resolution of the screen through Control Panel but can not find the same as before.  I tried to adjust the zoom level on Chrome but now everything is long and lean.

Tried to do a system restore, but it has a red x next to it and will let me not turn it on.  How to restore my resolution wallpapers and icons to their previous size etc?

Completely, remove the current (or software) driver and install the latest driver available.  For instructions on how to do read everything to update the drivers of my partner JMH3143 http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki/windows_other-hardware/updating-a-driver/a5e6345e-af9b-4099-bef0-8d22254aa1c1?tm=1436753520149 here

  • All browsers stop working after the automatic updates

    * Original title: Windows 8 - all browsers stop working after update

    Hi, I have a Dell 14R with Windows 8, standard configuration.  After the automatic updates pushed on 06-04-14, computer laptop start behaving strange - not able to connect to any external website.  Home page only on a browser worked.  Troubleshooting auto did not find any problems. I restored the computer to the last point saved, generated an error "cannot restore', perhaps due to MacAfee, but solved the problem.   Then I disabled the updates for windows, just in case.  Did you anyone has a similar experience lately and was able to locate and solved the problem?

    I've updated for Windows 8.1 over the weekend, it seems to work great so far.

  • computer crashed after the automatic update Tuesday night

    Hi, Kevin

    My computer crashed after the automatic update Tuesday evening. The message indicates that the demand for window vista (which initially provided with the Lenovo computer, that I bought new in 2007) is not valid. When I rebooted and you press F5, it offers 3 options 'Security Mode', but no return explicitly beforehand updated status.

    I'm not familiar with uninstalling and restoring systems. Can you walk me through the process? Can I uninstall or restore when the computer is in mode security (limited capacity)? How a WAIK/Windows PE image downloaded to another computer to help me with the computer that is out?

    Your suggestion to install SP2 apply to windows vista home basic version, 2007?

    Thank you!

  • Unable to connect after the automatic updates of Windows.

    I have two computers on my network, one with 7 and one with vista.  (US) both for automatic Windows update and yesterday, after both received updates, I couldn't go online.  Restored both and that solved.  Today it's the same thing.  I restored both and Windows updated together on manual.  Problem is I want to install updates, but you need to know what is happening.   Thank you

    Many other people have the same problem after the recent update of Win7.  A thread said that the culprit is update KB2705219 and you'll be OK if remove you it.  There is no other additional information that the user in question has done so successfully [I can't find the link, I checked both of these threads today].

    I have not tried to uninstall it I like my PC to install with a decent connection the last hours [no idea why].  I also have McAfee.

    In addition, you should never uninstall McAfee or any other AV application unless you have a copy of the relevant utility uninstall application.  Results to omit this step can be severe and cause quite disconcerting & apparently unrelated symptoms.  I do not recommend this as a step for the problem today, but keep this link for when / if you decide to replace McAfee - McAfee Consumer products removal tool.  For other AV applications, see list of anti-malware cleaning - program uninstall tools

    Hi Jenny,

    To provide the proper resolution, I would need more information on your side.

    1. do you receive any error messages? If Yes, what is the exact error message?

    2. What is the item number knowledge base of the installed Windows Update recently?

    Method 1:
    If files are missing from the library, I suggest you try the following steps.

    (a) go to the libraries in Windows Explorer.

    (b)with the right button no matter what folder gives you an error.

    (c)delete the folder.

    (d)with the right button on the "libraries" folder

    (e), select "restore default libraries".

    The folder you just deleted will now be back and fully functional with all your documents safe and sound.

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you to virus scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
