Windows Update ran during the night, display is skewed

Windows last night ran an update. This morning, my screen is stretched from left to right. It looks a bit like the safe mode. All fonts, images, graphics, everything is stretched on the horizontal axis. No matter if I use Chrome or any other browser. If I cancel the update 'critical' it installed 11/06/14 it will be a fix?

Not an answer but a little more description. On the screen described above the icons was moved, once again, as is done in safe mode. I started the system restore. Before that took place, but after I open my laptop and found the screen was not distorted or stretched horizontally but not the photo filled the entire screen as it did on my monitor large flat screen. I undid the update and everything is back to normal.

Is there another way to solve this problem? I don't want to stop updates, but not is I want to keep going back behind them.

Hello

This information applies to Windows 7 and Vista.

Do not install this update for these reasons:

Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'bad' for your installation, or read the information provided on each update.

You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

'Remove an update'

Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

See you soon.

  • How to run windows (vista, 7), during the night, or during any period of time and do not have to worry it restart itself.

    Windows Update will restart when the changes are applied.  I understand why.  However, when I do not use windows, which is relatively rare, and the specific task, I often run long processes.  Windows will reboot the machine by force regardless of what I'm doing at the time.  I guess if you are electronic control or Watch youtube, its not that big of a deal, but when it stops at Midway for a night process, its quite frustrating.

    I had turned off the windows update service, so I guess that takes care of things, or is there another process that verifies that the windows update is running and restarts it?  Thoughts?  Even if restarting is intentional, the fact that a modern operating system will turn off when it receives a message from the mother ship is quite disturbing (beat tone comes from the fact that I'm a nerd of linux.  Sorry).

  • My laptop loses its STARTUP information after it was closed during the night

    original title: STUMPER! My laptop loses its STARTUP information after it was closed during the night?

    I have a problem very intrigueing that I can't understand. I can do a clean install of Vista Ultimate(32 or 64 bit), on my gateway M285 - E Tablet PC. Once it's done and I did not yet updates, if I stop the system at night, I wake up and you try to boot the system and get a blue screen (which finally tells me that my "disk.sys" file is missing. I tried plugging it down in increments to see when this file, in fact, is lost. I stopped for about 1 1/2 hours and it will start fine, but during the night, it won't.

    Then I tried a fresh install and did all the updates available, same thing. I tried to start a "memory test and everything is fine." I even did the memory more intense test (which takes forever, by the way... lol). I also did "chkdsk", as well as all viruses and malware, etc. tests with Norton first Edition.

    I got to the point where I now have 3 separate "disk images" that I created to save time in my software I want to use this system of loading. We're just a clean install, that no update, other clean install available updates. and the last with a clean install with all my software MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite and Autodesk Entertainment and all of their updates.

    I did this for if I'll actually somehow solve this problem I can easily use the "disk image" I want... No...

    Oh yes, I also all my drivers up to date etc.

    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    EDIT:

    Another problem related to this situation, it's the hard drive becomes undetectable, so I have to use a software such as Ubunta starting vehicle, which has its own operating system, so I can actually format my hard drive to start the installation process. (otherwise my Vista installation won the same recognize I have a hard drive, not to mention operating system to try to resolve, such as startup repair, System Restore, etc.)

    I finally figured it... xD is a hard drive diver who has been desgned for WinXP and for some reason any were never changed during the installation of Vista on this system or automatic updates.

    It was actually the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, specifically the Intel SATA AHCI Controller. I used "Driver Whiz/Detective", which would install most drivers via a base file system are integrated.

    The controller AHCI SATA Intel(r) has not, it only downloaded a .zip file that contains the following files:

    IaStor.sys
    iaAHCI.cat
    iaAHCI.inf

    These were to actually be manually installed. "Even if I had downloaded and extracted the files, when I tried to update the driver"Intel SATA AHCI controller"via Device Manager" through the command of newer driver search. It does not always detect it them, stating that I already had the best and latest drivers already installed.

    Then, for some reason that just kept on bothering me, because "Driver Whiz/Detective kept indicating that it was the best version of the driver for my system.

    So, I finally tried to update the drivers manually by specifying exactly where these files are located on my system. Then he finally recognized them and installed them.

    According to me, given that this system is an older model 'Gateway M285-E Tablet PC', even if it is Vista compatible, he has always maintained the operating system higher available for WinXP, through any auto detect in the BIOS. Even in the settings of the BIOS OS I tried assigning 'Other', because the only other options were Win95, Win98, WinMe, Win2000 and WinXP.

    So having not the 'Intel(r) SATA AHCI controller"recognizing a Vista OS after be closed for a period of time, it would try to load a Windows XP operating system, and have failed to do. Strange, but is the only explanation I can offer for her.

    I tried to start up my HP Envy 15t - j1000 select edition yesterday morning and I get no response what so ever. At first I thought I had left it on the exhaustion of the battery during the night. However, after a lot of troubleshooting (remove the battery and you try to start on the whole, hard reset, try another AC charger, removing RAM Modules and other components) I still can't you it to Sunrise power. The power led next door where my adapter plugs on it used to light either. It's as if the machine of the entry is completely dead, has no sense as long as its been runing perfectly without any problems.

    In addition, it has beats audio, but no button beats on the chassis (as far as I can tell) because I know it's a problem reported causing some laptops with her boot.

    Help, please!

    Hi @DrexLock,

    Thank you for your update.

    I understand you have changed the power button Board and the problem persists.

    The led indicates the power is getting to the laptop. After replacing the power button you know power going to the motherboard, but it seems to stop there.

    The next step would be to replace the motherboard.  Because they tend to be expensive, you can do a price comparison to see if the replacement of the motherboard, or the purchase of a new laptop is the best option for you.

    Good luck!

    Hi, I have a 64-bit Windows Vista, Microsoft Service Pack 1.

    My Windows Update stops errors whenever I have trying to update. This has happened for a while now, maybe 4-5 months? However, since there is no reason that I needed to update, I just let go.

    Then I realized that because of this error, my iTunes won't work; during installation, there is an error with the same numbers: 80070002. I really need to use iTunes, and it won't work.

    I checked the system for errors and renamed, but it has not fixed no problem.

    Please, how can I solve this problem?

    Hi xgbearfsho,

    If you receive the error Windows Update 80070002 of updates, you must remove the temporary files to update that Windows uses to identify updates for your computer. To remove temporary files, stop the Windows Update service, delete the temporary update files, restart the Windows Update service and then try to check for Windows updates again.
