Wiping computer updates
This is the 4th time that Windows Update has wiped my computer and I don't know why no one helped him. I know I've asked this question before.
When I update, and my computer restarted, all my files are gone and most of my program too.
What gives?
How can I disable my automatic updates so I don't have to keep restore my computer?
Has anyone else had these issues? Firstly, updates would not install. Now, they set up and ONCE again, it wipe my computer clean and clears all my files!
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Bill

original title: lack of RAM
McAfee, unable to update as the only security base 256 and 512 MB of RAM required. As the computer is old and slow it is better to increase the RAM or better to invest in a new computer update. Would appreciate help in this case. Also as I'm pretty computer illiterate, please use the terms that I can follow. Thank you
Hi Kathleen Almeida,.
Because the computer is old, instead of upgrading the ram, you can buy new computer. I suggest you contact system manufacturer more about if you need to upgrade or buy a new computer.

Why my computer updated with (KB970158) today?
Why my computer updated with (KB970158) today? Downloaded and installed with on my promise. I had my windows update set to check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them BUT it work around my settings and installed in any case this has never happen before why it does this and how to stop it. Now I have windows update set to never search for updates
Did you upgrade or install a driver? The Synaptics drivers cause this. As far as I know, it is caused by a driver installation program by ensuring that the driver is the correct version. The "update" is contained in the driver package.
The man who designed the framework pilot crashes on this forum:

Disable Windows update will not affect this.

My computer updated 'Windows 10' I don't seem to have the ability to save a scanned as pdf document. The drop down menu does not give me option pdf.
The default setting is 'photo' and there is no option to scan multiple pages into a single document. It's really annoying because it was fine before and I do not know how to change the settings or even if it can be changed.
Hope someone can help me with this.
Thank you

Last night, my computer (Win 7 Dell Portable - Firefox) made an update. It restarted and when I turned it back on, the computer gave me a message that your office told 'prepare' before I could connect. When I logged in, it was almost as if the computer was brand new - the desktop theme was new, he said my mouse was ready for use, and he said that internet Explorer 10 has been updated. I clicked on Firefox as usual, expect that he gives me the screen where it asks me if I want that it restore all my tabs and it was the home page of Mozilla firefox was barebones in the sense that she was not one of my modules, or even the basic, file, edit, view, history, Favorites, tools, help buttons on the screen. When I walked into the story, it was only today listed and no site! I'm panicking and I really need to know how to get everything back to the way it was. I got an add-on of Personas with 36 backgrounds that I loved, and I don't want to have to go back and re-download all my modules, not to mention, there is no way, I would be able to store or to pick up where I left off with all of these tabs, that I need for work. Please help me!
It's a temporary profile Windows, not Firefox's fault, but something (perhaps a windows update, they unrolled a bunch today) corrupted your Windows profile. http://www.sysprobs.com/fix-temporary-profile-Windows-7 can help you, it will also bring back your Firefox data.

phone will not copy the app to your computer updates
Good, maybe I'm wrong (and please correct me if this is indeed the case) but I was under the impression that if you update apps directly on your device over wi - fi, next time backup you your device to your computer, it copies these updates to the computer if you do not have to download both times.
So why should I download app updates for my computer and their update directly on my phone? Does not seem much sense to do the same thing twice.
Just curious... :-)

Hello
Do you know what particular update has been applied?
If it was an update of the Bios, try a Hard Reset as follows.
Shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery. Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds. Reinsert the battery, connect the AC adapter and see if the laptop boots.
Kind regards

HP ENVY TS: computer update
I tried to update my computer but when I click on restart and update button computer re begins and it is not updating, it is to connect to the screen. The update was recommended by WIdndows via message that appeared on my desk. Initially when I tried to download the update he gave me a 8000... error. Do there is a way to cancel the update?
Hi @MSylwia95,.
Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read about your TouchSmart from HP ENVY laptop and get the error message trying to do a Windows update. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Simply download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system, and it will do the updates for you.
Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.
Plug the power supply directly to a wall outlet works. Do not connect it a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.
Before the update you did it ensure that your system is up-to-date with Windows. Here's something from Microsoft that could help.
Please let me know how it goes.
Thank you.
