Hi, it's been a while since I posted here, I used to post when on Windows 7. I would be grateful if anyone can help me with the following W10 search issue: If I open a folder and initiate a search in the search bar at top right, once the search has completed, if I then hit the back button, then...

Happened again today.

Wow, was it that long ago! Guess what, it's back! I wish I knew how to prevent the occurence of this s.o.a.b!

So it could be something to do with the above script perhaps? It seems to have gone again, it's very temperamental. Thanks for your help but I think it's unsolvable. In the meantime another issue has arisen but I'd better make a new post really when I figure out where. Briefly: When I attempt to...

True... However, I certainly hope there is someone that knows because the f***ers back! 'Network Internet access' as in the first post of this thread. When I click on it, it won't go. I'm getting fed up of this now.

Thanks brkkab, you are a legend. ) I sometimes use autoruns, I should take more advantage of it due to all those features. I probably won't need all that sysinternals stuff although the blue screen screensaver could be useful lol. Strangely I don't have that block of wow64 stuff appear when I...

I don't actually have that entry in autoruns, what I do have though is an entry called rdpclip and it says 'Image path': File not found : rdpclip. There's also an entry highlighted in red for some reason: Microsoft\Windows\Nettrace\GatherNetworkInfo - Windows\System\gathernetworkinfo.vbs

Sorry for late reply and thanks, I have autoruns, I might use it again to have a look behind the scenes... It's happening again b.t.w. It won't disappear from the desktop, obviously this particular thing isn't something I can disable at startup as it's part of the network. It's annoying, it...

I'm not doing another clean install, it would take months to put everything back how it should be. I've fixed the update problem apart from some that aren't recommended as they cause problems. The issue seems to have gone (it might be back) although there's now another one. Have a look here if...

This has been happening recently every time I boot up. Sometimes its "Not connected - No connections are available" or it can be "Network Internet access" when it is connected. It goes when I double click the network icon but that isn't really a solution as it shouldn't get stuck there in the...

That's some error! :rolleyes: Looks like you've been hacked by an Oriental Guy Fawkes! That said, I get an explorer.exe error sometimes and have to restart it via task manager, I don't know what causes it. My computer has seen better days.

brkkab, yes I did actually have an unrecoverable BSOD at the start of the year, I fixed all that and installed well over a hundred updates, after a while I got fed up of trying to install updates that wouldn't install and turned updates off. I've run full virus/malware scans etc... I also got...

Hi, it's started doing it again. the link, to be more specific, is a shortcut to local area connection in 'All Control Panel Items\Network Connections\Local Area Connection'. Why would the first instance of the double click or pressing Enter be ignored? Very odd. Another problem I'm having...

Thanks for reply, doesn't do it now, some kind of glitch. I ended up turning Windows update off, got fed up of it. Might try it again eventually.

I can't believe Microsoft expects the average Windows 7 user to do all this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-sg/help/971058/how-do-i-reset-windows-update-components If they can make 157 updates then surely they can make another one to fix the last 9
