Windows has a mind of its own?

A few weeks before that I demoted Win.8.1 of Win8. I can't support either.

Tonight, I get a message that my computer needs to reboot for Win.8.1 can complete loading.

I never said I wanted to move to 8.1. Windows has a mind of its own

and upgrades to the next version without worrying about whether you want it or not?

Well, I guess I'm stuck with 8.1.

This happened to someone else?
Bob

It apparently * a * is happened to others, even though I have yet to see it happen first-hand (or with anyone I help/manage personally who chose to not move to 8.1 for a reason any.)

If most of the 8/8.1 aversion is the interface - 8.1 is the best choice because it gives more options to customize without know entirely too much about the inner workings.

If you don't mind a suggestion - check out the first post in this discussion to see if some of the suggested changes would help you with your discomfort with Windows 8.1 or not...

    Hello Kluggerjo,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how important it must be able to count on your devices work as expected, and I have a few steps that should help resolve the behaviors you see.

    I would recommend to go by resetting your management system (SCM) controller. MSC helps control and regulate different material on your Mac, including Bluetooth systems.  This article will guide you in this process: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    If you still experience the issue after the test, you can test the behavior to a test user. This will help us to determine if the problem is systemic or isolated to your user account. This article will guide you in this process: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

    If the behavior is duplicated to the test user, I'd recommend reinstalling El Capitan. This will not delete your data. To reinstall using the recovery mode, take a look at this article: How to reinstall OS X

  • Cursor has a mind of its own

    I have a toshiba satellite PCs running windows vista, service pack 2. I use a touchpad synaptics instead of a mouse.  Recently, I went to the microsoft hotfix to fix a number of issues that have been resolved. However, my cursor began to do his own thing like later - as scrolling, opening links that the arrow crossed, highlighting blocks of type, etc.  Instead of my traffic action through a click or tap of the buffer, the cursor active almost everything what it touches.  I have changed under the mouse settings in the control panel and adjusted the settings in synaptic Touchpad, but the problem persists.  All of the suggestions.  Ken

    Hi oneplus1,

    I suggest that you update the touchpad drivers from the laptop manufacturer's website and check if it helps.

  • Please help, 8 Win leads me to madness. He has a mind of its own.

    I'm sure it's a built-in function daignee be beneficial for the touchscreen, but believe me, the laptop everyday with a keyboard, it is quite exasperating. You make the slightest movement with the slider and you are suddenly whistled off the coast on a fully independent screen. Is there any solution for this? Microsoft must be aware that this is a problem. My brother did the same thing. He appeared calm right down for a few months, as the navigation in a normal version of Windows on a regular computer, that I have no idea what I did to achieve this. Since I did a refresh of the system a few weeks ago he's back with a vengeance. Here, he just did again. I was to move the cursor at the end of the sentence and was whistled off the coast to write new messages in Outlook. Why! ?? I would be really grateful if someone could advise me on what to do. I'm at the end of my home. I can see this laptop pretty soon hit the back wall! And he just did it again. Write a new e-mail in Outlook. Help, please! :(

    Hi Karma

    Looks like you have problems with the Touchpad on this laptop.

    Laptop many keyboards have advanced options that are designed to allow movements that simulate the touch screen functions.

    Examples: options, sensitivity, scroll, Pinch Zoom, a slippery finger gestures other than simulate the pressure of a button or double click when touching a certain area on the touchpad, etc..

    To check this, I would recommend that you attach a standard USB mouse to the laptop computer and disable the touchpad. See if this prevents the problems you are having.

    If this resolves the problems, open the properties of the Control Panel/mouse and look for a tab that has the Touchpad options.

    If you let us know the brand and model of the laptop, we can study this further.

  • my cursor has a mind of its own-why?

    When you type in a word doc, I noticed that my cursor jumps all over the document while I type sometimes...? Why this might be happening?

    Most of the time your cursor jumps if in a laptop, the touchpad can be too sensitive.

    Check the laptop Touch Pad drivers are installed
    Go to control panel, click the mouse and then go to the TouchPad tab check the properties of the touch pad, and slow down the cursor.

    If this does not help, consult the website of the manufacturer of the computer.

  • Windows Media Center starts on its own...

    I am running Vista 64 bit. and from these time, for some reason my media center to windows just starts up on its own with attention now. I checked the settings in the media center and its not programmed to automatically start from what I've seen. It starts when I open other programs, and when I close them. not all the time and not in any decernable model. What should I do?

    Hello James_CC,

    You can try and allows for stop in the MSConfig Startup tab:

    First, go to control panel, then AutoPlay. Then check the selections of videos, films, etc. and select not "Act".
    Try again and see if Windows Media Center always plays at startup.

    Then, you can stop Windows Media Center to start services.
    Type msconfig (System Configuration) and go to the Startup tab uncheck the Scriptures which has the ehome as path to the command, such as ehTray.exe. This will prevent MCE related services to start upward.

    I would also check the default associations:
    Open the control panel (all items view) and click the default programs.

    Click on the game to link your default programs.
    In the left column, select the program (highlighted) a list that you want to change the associations is default for file.
    To set all Assciations by default in the Program-
    NOTE: This will allow to associate the selected program by default used by Windows 7 to open all types of files and protocols it can open.
    Click set this program as default.
    Click Save to apply.
    Click OK.

    Please answer and give us an update to see whether or not these measures have helped.

  • Windows Media Center opens on its own. I already have start disabled.

    Windows Media Center opens on its own. I start not checked, so this isn't the solution. Help

    As stated above, I already disabled it and the problem is not in the start menu up the muck starts all the time itself is there a way to disable this program. It's clearly broken and the windows folks don't seem to have any solution.

    Hey knew0222

    try to use the sfc/scannow command. to check the system files for corruption

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

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  • Envy laptop: a mind of its own?

    I've had this computer for a month and so many times I almost throw it out the window. I can be sitting in the room of this thing and for some unknown reason it just click on the websites on its own. I have not yet needed to be near him. If this thing click on a porn site, I get seriously angry. I'm going to my old Vista machine running again, at least I felt some control over it.

    This post of @EmeraldAvenger should provide you with guidance. Please let me know if you are able to disable the touch screen.

  • Want 5530: Mind of its own!

    When I try to print labels under my laptop the printer ejects the labels and prints on the next piece of plain paper.

    If I use the printed page and copy to labels it works. HP says that it is because the printer does not recognize the paper. If this isn't when I copy why isn't when I ask it to print?

    However, if I put 2 sheets of labels into the tray paper he rejects the first and prints on the second - it's really a mind of your own, but at least I can do it now!

  • The volume control has mind of its own

    I have a HP1428 DV7 ca, Win 7 Home Prem 64 bit running. Recently my volume control seems to have achieved a clean mind. At first I thought it was related to HP MediaSmart, so I removed it. It stopped at the volume control bar to constantly and irregularly flashing on the screen. However, when I open the mixing table under windows I see that it is always very strange, the volume increases in fits and starts. None of the volume controls at the top of the keyboard do not work. The MediaSmart button stays on and the mute button is not the drawer of the volume control does not work either. I thought that removing MediaSmart and put it back in place, it should correct the problem, he didn't.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It may be a hardware problem with the band capacitive itself, but about the audio, try the following.

    Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp45001-45500/sp45073.exe

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box to enable this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When finished, restart the computer and let Windows load completely.  Open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices.  'Speakers and headphones' left click once to highlight, and then click the Set Default button - check if you now audio.

    The MediaSmart you make reference to the application's HP MediaSmart SmartMenu, which can be downloaded and installed from the link below - you must have at least a MediaSmart application installed before installing SmartMenu.

  • My windows appear "zoom out". In other words, the screen has small size, and a lot of information in each window. This happened 'on its own' one day, when I logged in. How to enlarge new and keep there?

    Example 1 - page of Yahoo mail "Inbox."
    The font size of the list of emails in my email yahoo "Inbox", is of about of 8 (which is very low). In fact, it's all in the window 'Inbox' except the ads.
    The size of the font used to be 12, which is bigger and easier to read.

    Example 2 - 'my ebay' summary page.
    Read the list of the 'activities' choice on the left of the 'Summary' page I have to scroll down for centuries until the second activity is displayed and then scroll to the bottom for centuries access the activity of the third and so on. It's like the summary page was 20 meters long.
    Used to be on the left when I open the summary page of all activities.

    It's as if some settings changed with me knowing. I don't know if this is relevant, but I think it could happen after I did an update to Java.

    Thanks for any help is offered,

    Since the upgrade, I had what I thought was about the Clone Stamp tool, but in fact, it's a matter of brush (just Clone Stamp using a brush, of course).

    See attachment. Only, I drew the short vertical part goes to the top. Once I have let the mouse, big leg to leave around 10:00? Well, it is with the permission of Adobe, I suppose.

    I also have the same version on a Yoga Pro 2 - and it does not, however, if the brush strokes are too fast, the brush back to the place where it began, draw a line back to the source.

    Fun stuff.

    I "solved" it by getting a new video card - a GTX 980. I have two 560's, and two had the issue on different PCs. I think it's a problem with Photoshop and the GTX 560 or line 500. I realized that Adobe was not going to do anything because they get my monthly payment without worrying.

    Now on a new problem with bridge. As it will be resolved...
