update issues

After a sudden power loss forcing the computer into a hard shut down, the first thing I noticed was my UAC setting being reset from "Never notify" to the default. Since that has been changed, I think it's possible other things have been changed as well. Why would these settings change after a...

I am extremely annoyed with Windows. A week ago, whilst I was in the middle of work, Windows 8 just shut down. When I restarted, it began to install updates. It seemed to freeze and after a couple of hours there was no progress - I had to do a "Refresh" of Windows. Very inconvenient. When I...

Hello everyone, I've been trying to figure out a fix (along with looking around in the forums) for a few hours now, but I'm worried about my computer. I have a Lenovo with 8.1 installed and today I got a notification that my computer was going to restart and update, which it did without any...

Windows Defender Software automatically updated on my Dell Venue 8 Pro, which is preloaded with Windows 8.1. When I wanted to shut down my tablet, I chose the option to install updates and for it to shut down afterwards. The next morning I switched my tablet on, the BSOD appeared with an error...

So I reset my laptop to default settings after trying to rid my system of a possible trojan (accodring to malwarebytes) but my McAfee says everything is fine. Once the reset was complete, I was no longer experiencing the same issues as before (lots of redirecting and certain programs not...

Some change or update to Windows 8.1 Professional has caused Explorer to become incredibly slow. Right clicking a folder leads to a circular rotation cursor and a wait from 10-20 seconds before the right-click pop-up menu appears. Clicking on the arrow to the left of a folder leads to another...

So Windows forced me to update to Windows 8.1, which I didn't want but still. They don't care, they forced the update. Which means my laptop reboots way slower, but I'll deal with that. Perhaps W8.1 is better at several area's. Anyways, I got a problem with sleep and hibernate mode. I can enter...

Hi That's my question, I'm not sure whether this has happened or not. If it has I didn't notice, though some issues have been fixed like the rebooting problem. But I'd think that they would fix the keyboard lights thing before releasing it to the slow ring. Anyone on the Slow setting gotten...

Hi, Last night my laptop was updated to windows 8.1 build 9600 and it has caused my laptop to run extremely slow, normally it takes around 2 minutes to start up but now its taking at least 15-20 minutes. My laptop was running completely fine before this update, is there any way I can fix this...

Have updated my Dell Venue 8 Pro and Asus T100 to build 9860 and now the virtual keyboard does not push the page up to the status line.

So I have a Lenova Ideapad z710. It's a powerful gaming laptop, and came with Windows 8. There was tons of blue screens due to Nvidia crashing, and that seems to be sorted out.. But regardless, there's tons of freezing and crashing for no reason. And I tried updating to 8.1 not to long ago...

I wonder about the Realtek update issue, as the last update screwed up my laptop HD and can't use the mic without hearing the echo or buzz all the way and only have to mute or un select the "listen" at Realtek HD mic to make my laptop have no more echos or buzz while listening to music. Do you...
