update problems

This is a very strange issue. I've had a tablet for a week now (Acer Iconia W700-6670) and I want to do the Windows Updates but they just don't seem to work. As in the updates are still in WU like they weren't done at all. I've done them three times now and I don't want to do them again because...

So today I went ahead and installed some windows updates, and while they were installing I went downstairs to eat dinner and came back to my computer not being able to start up at all. http://imgur.com/a/iJM0r The computer starts up but flashes a blue screen and just restarts, I went ahead...

I have an HP laptop that came with Windows 8 installed. One of the automatic updates ran and changed pathways to my files. If I click on Libraries, my documents, music, and pics that were there before the upgrade are not there now. I have to click c:/users/myusername/ then whichever folder...

That's right: It keeps setting all these Microsoft programs to the "allowed" list. I don't use them, I don't need them, and I have half a mind to destroy their respective directories, because windows seems to want to hang on to them for some ungodly reason. Every time I update windows, a...

I have a problem with Windows 8. This morning when I went to check my ASUS Zenbook laptop, the PC wouldn't access the network, even tho I could see our home network was working. I did a hard reboot and returned several minutes later to find I had been logged in under a temp password and all the...

Link Removed So I'm having a funky Windows7 problem - on certain screens (usually windows based screens like within the Control Panel, but not always just there) - I'm getting blank ASCII boxes in place of the usual text characters. It's really random and doesn't happen on every Windows related...

Since about a week ago, whenever I turn on my laptop and login to Windows 7 I can't click anything for about 5-10 minutes (changes every time). A loading icon pops up while I can't click anything (reminds me of Mac spinning wheel of death). Sometimes the wallpaper will go white and a box comes...

Woke up this morning to find win Update had downloaded and installed several updates (obviously from Update Tuesday)...shock horror...my computer was back to bog standard...all files gone although all the installed programs were intact but any with settings like Firefox etc were as 'Just...

I really don't know what to say, I don't know what's happening to my computer lately. My computers been acting really slow for the past maybe 4 days. It's hard to open any of my files without waiting too long, and my internet browsers are incredibly slow. It's not normal. I thought it would be...

Hi. A couple of weeks ago I allowed Windows Update to load SP1 for W7 unintentionally of course as i know I should have backed up first. Cut to the chase it screwed my system and my laptop would not reboot indicating SP1 was still installing. I had W7 ultimate Installation/upgrade disk and...
