Yellow shield in the taskbar - Windows found 1 update

I have a yellow shield appear in my sandbox.  When I click it, it says "Windows found 1 update.  This update requires that you accept first the terms of the license. "This is the first time I see this, because my updates are usually automatically installed.  Is this a virus any?  If so, how can I get rid of this shield?

Can't blame you for being hesitant.

Suggest manually, you go to the update site and see what's available for your system. Which should give a clue as to what is pending installation, or in the alternative, see windowsupdate.log.

How to view the log of update Windows: -.

Click Start and then click Run.
In the Open box, type: %windir%\windowsupdate.log
and then click OK.

Scroll down for the latest entries.

Still in doubt, perhaps one of the experts here could focus on this issue to determine if it is in fact an update legitimate windows or something else.

  • Yellow shield in the taskbar won't go away

    I had a similar problem to that which has been reported in several other questions, where windows updates KB2572073 and KB2518864 moved successfully and then I would be invited to install again and again and again. I followed the suggestion of a couple of these other issues and uninstalled as well software .NET Framework as possible, then went through the process to install the latest updates for the .NET Framework to more recent levels.

    I was always being asked to install KB2572073 and KB2518864 over and over again, so I downloaded the individual updates on the Microsoft web site and I installed them manually. Still once, they succeeded, but now I get the yellow shield in the taskbar icon, which suggests that the updates are available to be installed. But this time, when I try with the button right or left - click on this icon, it simply disappears and then comes back in 15-20 seconds. Click again and it goes for 15-20 seconds and back again.

    Is there a way to get the yellow shield icon go away in this case? I know there is no other update to install because I can go to the Windows Update web site and select "Custom" and it tells me there are 0 packets. I just need to get rid of the yellow shield icon and bring her back only ago legitimately updates to install on my system.

  • Why am I no longer see Windows Update shield in the taskbar?

    I had to do a complete Windows repair my motherboard died back in January.

    Since obtaining Windows XP pro upward and run again, I did not the usual yellow reminder Windows Update shield in the taskbar. I put Windows to warn me, but not to install any update.

    I just went to the update page, and it is said that there are no new updates needed. Strange... I would have thought there were security fixes since the end of January.

    Even using a third party such as Secunia scanner, said that I'm updating. There had been no updates since January for Windows XP Pro?

    Gershon S

    I did mine on February 17, but yes, it's the last that I have now. This months updates should be available today (March 13). I'm waiting for my small yellow shield to wait another day before telling me that they are ready. Even so, I wait a day or 3 and analyze the news to see if something catastrophic is reported in tech reviews online before I install them.

  • the minimized in the taskbar window won't launch

    A minimized in the taskbar window will launch not or be enlarged when you click it. How to fix? Thank you.

    A minimized in the taskbar window will launch not or be enlarged when you click it.

    Using the Task Manager command to go to the process to understand what it is and what it does.   For example, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, find the problem task bar icon in the Applications, right click, Go To Process tab, note the name of the Image.   You can also configure the process tab to show all the data in the column and get more details on the problem of the task.   Sounds like it could be hung or in a low level loop.   So, % of CPU and other statistics can help you with that.   If it's W7, you can also use the resource monitor to get similar information on this task, in particular a more precise idea on the question of whether the task has been attached or does not.   In any OS, you can use ProcExp (available on TechNet) as a more functional alternative to the Task Manager.

    If it is not blocked, and not in a loop, it could be something to play games with you.   So what you could do with it would depend on its implementation.   For example if it was an IE window, it could just be controlled by a script, in which case you could try setting the security settings for the Internet zone is high.  By default, the high level does not allow Active Scripting.

  • Why isn't the taskbar Windows 10 stay on top when browsing with Firefox?

    For one reason or another, the Windows 10 taskbar is not displayed on the top of the Firefox browser windows/pages. He remains at the top in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Why won't it stay on top in Firefox? I need to be able to see the time and date while browsing. Is there a solution to this? Please inform me of how to remedy the situation as soon as POSSIBLE, or I have to use Google Chrome (but I won't!).

    If Firefox is in display full screen, that allows to block the taskbar. You can switch from full screen to normal display using either:

    • F11
    • Drag the pointer of the mouse to the top of the screen, right-click on an empty area of the bar tab, then exit fullscreen

    If this is not it, sometimes the file that stores the dimensions of the window becomes corrupt with nonsense values. Since the file is difficult to edit, you can rename and have Firefox back to windows default sizes.

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    This process may disable some of the bars that you want to display. To enable their return, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

    To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

  • WiFi CONNECTED but showing YELLOW ASTERISK in the taskbar

    My Wifi works fine with access point and connected, but the problem is in the bottom right of the network notification task bar it's to show that it is not connected with asterisk yellow (as a standard asterisk should show that when Wifi is not connected).

    I really appreciate your opinion and suggestions as possible.

    Thank you.

    In my case, the problem was apparently last updated from windows.

    I changed parameter "Service.msc" in "Windows Update" from automatic to manual and restarted my laptop.

    Since then, it works fine.

  • Icons in the taskbar Windows 7 (notifications) does not not at the start. [SOLVED]

    Question: It started a few days ago, I'm not sure what has changed (no updates to anything und do not clean my comp so far here). When starting, but not load my system tray icons/notice. There is a select statement 3 charge that are supposed to, but there should be more (like volume, wifi, (I have disabled power), etc.) There is 1 which is not supposed to because it is hidden completely.

    3 loading (assumed):

    ~ Intelligent ram (advanced care system)

    ~OpenOffice.org Quickstarter

    ~ Avast icon

    1 who is responsible (not not supposed to):

    ~ Synaptics Pointing Device (touchpad for laptop, I have the touchpad disabled permanently, so I completely hidden icon (no notifications).

    Icons that are supposed to load:

    Shown (visible in the status bar)

    ~ Intelligent ram (advanced care system)

    ~ Connection/Wifi signal strength

    ~ Volume

    Hidden, but display notifications (accessed via popup "Show hidden icons" arrow)

    ~OpenOffice.org Quickstarter

    ~ Avast icon

    ~ Action Center (flag)

    (I think there's one more, but I don't remember.) It could have been 'Power', which I think, but it is completely hidden, as in the system icon is disabled)

    What is already:

    ~Notifications/what watch is already very well tuned for my taste. I just got set to "Show icon and notifications", stuff the value "notifications only." (Ergo, it resides in my region 'Show hidden icons' through arrow, but is not visible otherwise.) Und stuff put not show at all.)

    ~ Windows is up to date.

    ~ Drivers are all up to date.

    ~ System is cleaned (Spyware, Malware, Antivirus, General Computer Care) a few times a week, has been cleaned out of turn, in order to help solve.

    ~ Regardless of the icon is not displayed, programs, still work properly.

    What has been tried:

    ~ To reboot first, simple. Nothing.

    ~ Searched online, find the regedit, removed IconStreams und PastIconStream in the registry, kill explorer.exe, run explorer.exe. Voila, my icons were back. Except for some I had to modify the settings on back to what I wanted. That was supposed to be the end of it. ... It wasn't. Model began the next day, icons were not loading right. The same 3 icons has charge. Tried the regedit with a reboot... Nothing helps.

    ~ I tried Regedit und journal/off voltage. Zip, they go back to does not properly.

    So, I wonder why the regedit isn't sticking. Personally, I don't find yet, everything which would be somehow in conflict with this, especially since the wifi turns on automatically does not show in the taskbar, or volume. Everything seems to work fine, so I don't understand why some of them are not loading. The only way I know to make the back is with regedit. But in doing so each time I start my computer is pretty boring.

    Search for a solution: What can I do to remedy this? Everything I looked at gives me "update drivers, windows update, virus/malware research, make regedit (mentioned above), log off / on, restart" that have been tried.

    Thanks in advance.

    UPDATE *.

    Alrighty, I tried to start in safe mode, a boot minimum then tried und tool File Checker system, nothing that was of any help either.

    So, as a last ditch effort... I did a startup und repair selected a Restore Point.

    Solution: My icons in system tray restored to a previous state until I started having problems, are evidence of as it should.

    UPDATE *.

    Obviously, I have solved my problem, but I have to mark an answer for them to consider that it solved und I can not put my own answer to select. So I chose the one who has not fixed it, but would probably be someone elses.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    This could be due to several reasons, including missing or corrupted file system. I really appreciate the efforts made to try to resolve the problem.  We will try these steps and check to see if they help.

    Method 1: Method 1: Start the computer Safe Mode and check if the problem persists. If the problem does not persist in safemode, turn on your computer in a clean boot state and check.

    Step 1: Start the computer in Safe Mode

    Safe mode is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. The words Safe Mode appear in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using.

    Please refer to: start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2: Perform a clean boot in order to avoid any conflict of third party software.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

    Method 2: Run the System File Checker tool

    System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    To do this, click Start, type command or cmd prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    Note: Do not close the command prompt window until the audit is completed 100%. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is complete.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    Hi RicardoMC,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    From the description of the problem, I can understand that you need more information on disabling the taskbar thumbnails.

    Windows 7 does not include a graphical (GUI) User Interface to disable taskbar thumbnail preview.

    The only option that comes pretty close to turning off the feature is by modifying the registry settings. Check out the following link and check if this helps you to disable the taskbar thumbnails.
