    Hi Colin Davis,
     
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Forums.
    1. try performing clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796
    2. check if you have the same problem in safe mode
    3. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, click Accessories, right-click command prompt, and then click Run as administrator, and in the command prompt, type sfc/scannow. Restart the computer and check.

  • Received email: could not update my account with the safety of 2016 and my account clouse

    Original title: compliance safety 2016

    I received an email allegedly Hotmail team. He said that I failed to update my account with compliance of security from 2016. He threatened to close my account. He also wants to connect to a screen of Windows Live Hotmail asking for my email address and password. IS IT FAKE? It looks real but I n 't trust him.  Please answer

    We need a real screenshot of the email (including clickable links) to be sure, but there are a few things you can check yourself.  First legitimate emails have a green lock in the address bar, then when you hover over the links that they clearly point to a site of ms.  In addition, if you are asked for personal information such as passwords, DOB, etc. This is a fake because Microsoft already has your info.

  • 27 - 1110ea: Windows 7 update does not update

    Hello

    I did now 2 installs fresh with the HP recovery discs and both windows update does not work. I tried different patches from microsoft that I found online in this regard and nothing works.

    I don't know if it's related, but said SP1 is installed, but when I look in the installed updates it isn't here. If I try to uninstall from a command promt it says is not installed and if I try to install it from the microsoft download it says it is installed.

    It makes me crazy. I was expecting it to work from a clean install, but it doesn't.

    Any help would be great.

    Hello

    Welcome to the HP Support forum. Thank you for posting.

    If it says SP1 is included, it means it is included and comes with the system, so you can not unintall it - it is part of the system - built in. You will not see the updates installed because it's built, do not subsequently installed.

    It is a known problem that now when you perform a clean installation of Windows 7, the installation updates will be delayed. This is due because of many things including the fact that W7 is more priority Microsoft because of new OS on the juice of the horizon: like Windows 10. Some users have reported that after the new facility it may take hours of waiting until Windows 7 poster updates are available. But don't worry - they are not that critics and you shouldn't worry so much for them.

    I can offer a workaround is to:

    -Windows 7 update agent be manually updated to the latest version > > https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/kb/949104

    -Download directly from MS "April 2015 battery maintenance update" and install it manually

    > > https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3020369

    -Download Win 7 convenience roll update and install it manually

    > > win x 64

    http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/msdownload/update/software/UPDT/2016/05/Windows6.1-kb3125574-v4-x64_2dafb1d203c8964239af3048b5dd4b1264cd93b9.MSU

    > > win x 86

    This update package, which combines updates dating all the way back to February 2011, is not be made available in Windows Update. If you install a Windows 7 system from scratch, you will need to go out of your way to download and install it. If you do not, Windows Update will download and install the updated way on day one by one, the slower, more tedious.

    You have now all the updates of Windows 7 since its initial release until may 2016

    After that, you try to install the new updates.

    I hope it works for you. Let me know how it goes.

  • Qosmio G50-129 PQG55E - 64-Bit Windows 7 updated - update the BIOS?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio G50 that I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. My BIOS is unupdated for 6 months when I bought the machine.

    I went to update the BIOS, just to keep things updated, so I went through the pilot Online Assistant:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    And all information entered above, it provides:

    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090312131718.zip

    After having unpacked and P0060v210.exe running, he extracted, and then said:

    "The [error] BIOS update is not taken in charge of operating system. No support for operating system or service pack is installed. "(Word to all my friends of Googling!).

    Toshiba has an update of the BIOS for the Qosmio G50 is supported on Windows 7? Specifically for the 64-bit? They need to fix this glitch which orders to download this file when it is not clearly supported by Windows 7.

    Also, I tried to run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2 and it worked fine - but I was nervous about going through the update if it didn't initially support Windows 7, so I do not continue to the next prompt. Is it safe to do? Has anyone else in this situation he does without problems? I read the BIOS updates can go horribly wrong, if not careful, so I hesitate to update the BIOS by performing the update in compatibility mode when it doesn't support Windows 7 on its own!

    Thanks in advance for any help and Merry Christmas.

    Hello

    I agree with bljuzga_1.
    Because the BIOS is independent, it shouldn't be a problem with the update using Win 7 OS.
    The error must be linked to your installed Win 7 OS and not the BIOS bug.

    It would also be possible that your value added package for Win 7 is not installed correctly.
    This package contains the TOSHIBA components common driver which is an essential component of the Windows operating system. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.

    On 13 April, I fist notice this problem. I managed to it is resolved according to restore my computer to a previous point prior to the windows vista update have been installed. I didn't create a new restore point and also forgot to uncheck "automatic installation of windows. A few days later, the same problem after updates have been installed again on April 15. Unfortunately, this time I don't have a restore point previous April 15. So, I restored it on next day 16, but not resolved the issue. So I uninstall all vista windows update installed on April 15 but did not help either.

    Fortunately it affects only an admin user (user account that run windows update) all users are very well.

    Any suggestions to solve this problem, much appreciated.

    (My Automatic Updates usually work, but this time not to go.) Updates are obtained through IE8 browser, but I prefer FireFox for daily use.)

    Thank you! Success!

    I used method 2, because I had already tried method 1 earlier, but the "fix it" went wrong. After reading the information from method 2, I opted to use my FireFox instead of IE8 browser, because I suspected that the process Internet Explorer that are included with the update was a large part of the cause of my problem. Among the options, I used Microsoft Download center to locate the update I needed and then through its validation and finally made the download and reboot. Voila!

    Can you please explain why the process more automated via IE did not work for me? Why I resorted to the labour process more that I used? Can I expect this of all the other "critical" updates that I get on my machine Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005? Maybe your answers would also be interesting to others.
