Hi, I would like to ask the honored, experienced colleagues for help.
I have a Lenovo ideacentre b520 computer. I have been very satisfied with this computer for several years. By upgrading to win 10, he was super, absolutely quiet, with a touch screen and maximally suited me. I do not play on...

Looking to purchase a new desktop PC later today - with windows 10, however this will only be used for photo editing and spreadsheets, word processing and the like - won't require internet access at...
No Icon has appeared. I have a legit OS of W7 Pro, with all the latest updates including the one necessary to get the Icon. I have tried everything that has been posted including the command prompt route and nothing works. Is it that I will not be able to use W10? Is there a way to test this...

Windows 8 CP has a free AV/Spyware solution in Windows Defender (re-branded MSE). This may be well for some users, as it auto updates & scans the system for you. Just a few settings to make, notably the time of scan & a few other options.
However, if you're considering this as your permanent...

Just a wee reminder... today, like the 2nd Tues. of every month, is 'Patch Tuesday'. Even if on 'Auto', always a Best Practice to make sure any & all (new) Updates are put in or get put in your computers.
Cheers,

I have had windows 7 installed from an OEM disk for about 6+ months. I have always had auto updates disabled. last night I shutdown the computer just to find 98 updates being installed. I was just a little disappointed, for a couple of reasons. one reason is it seems to take longer to boot after...
On my new Windows 7 - 64 bit computer, occasionally the system would ask me if I wanted the Admin Privileges needed to perform some task I was trying, I'd say Yes, & life was good. But today I wanted to create a new folder in c/program files (x86)/turbotax, & the system said i could only create...

Ok, so my computer has recently been locking up upon start-up, when the windows logo is flashing it will just freeze and require restart. The only way I've been able to remedy this is by doing a system repair or restore. Before I can get to these I must turn off my computer and unplug it for 15...
Recently upgraded from Vista using the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade (designed for Vista). Since then, my computer displays a blue screen on shutdown. Unfortunately, the screen is not there long enough for me to read it but it appears to do a memory stack dump to the hard drive. The computer...
I always have my Windows Updates set to, "Notify me, but do not download".. I like to keep in control... ;)
However, I would love the option to allow Defender updates to happen automatically without my intervention... anyone agree? These happen so often, that it gets boring.... :(

MS has issued a security update for Windows 7 so if by chance you have auto updates turned off this update is important as it corrects a security flaw in 7.
