my Lenovo computer runs on window 7 (64x) and for some reason it keeps on saying the updates fail and then reverts back to before it attempted the updates? I have run the windows update diagnostic program but it still won't work I have the Lenovo boot optimizer running, but I don't know if that might be causing any conflicts or not. View this thread

I keep getting the same updates over and over. I recently spent $99 with Microsoft remote assistance. They repaired a corrupt Windows updater. Now things are updating successfully, but it is the same thing all the time. The following are what keep popping up: Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008 x86 (KB2604121) Download size: 22.9 MB Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008 x86 (KB2656351) Download size: 5.4 MB Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008 x86 (KB2729449) Download size: 13…

I had to do a reinstall of windows 7 ultimate the other day. The update process has been extensive.. just finish one set of updates and another pops up. My fresh install, along with my set of programs that I use all the time left me with a boot time of between 26 and 29 seconds.Now, several days later and dozens of windows updates later I'm at 59 seconds with 22 more updates to do after this last reboot.One would think that updates to a program would stream line it, not hinder it's initialization. Is there a list of processes somewhere that are really not needed to boot up the computer? I'm at the point where I'm again ready to revert to windows XP so this constant u…

Outlook just showed up. I don't like it. My biggest problem is when I "forward" emails, I get only a short list of frequently used names and not my full list. I type in "all contacts" and it reverts back to frequent contacts. Also, I type nearly a word faster than the letters show up on the screen - this never happened before. Thank you for reducing my frustration - I am not a technical person and am really upset. I called on the phone and was told there was not phone support and I would have to figure this out for myself!

troubleshoot windows vista kb915597 definition 1.143.2336.0 As stated in the above question, this update auto installed on 2/15/2013 at 1:39am and lists as un-removable. I believe this is my offending update as there were several updates that auto installed on 2/14/2013 as well. They may be the culpret as well but I doubt it, however, my belief is that this is the offending update in that my TiVo has transferred information recorded prior to 2/16/2013 but not after. If the offending update were amongst the multiple updated auto installed on 2/14/2013 them information recorded on the TiVo afterwards on 2/15/2013 would not have transferred. I need a solution to this off…

Since I installed a new Windows update a few days ago, the Desktop Window Manager quits working and is closed down every few minutes. It's very annoying. The message I get says that a problem caused the application to shut down and that as soon as a fix is available, I will be notified. Because this problem didn't start appearing until just after the update, I feel that the update caused the problem. Because this is very annoying, is there anything I can do to fis the problem, or is waiting for a fix the only option available to me? View this thread

I've read that the Update KB2670838 is causing wide spread problems. I've uninstalled this and reinstalled this. I've done a system restore. My Aero was working fine for over a year. But I have more problems as well. When I try to get Aero to work it shuts off my personalized sounds and screen saver and resets them to the windows Default. I change my screen saver back click on my Saved Aero Theme and it again turns off my screen saver and resets my sounds. I took the machine back to the company that built it. They reinstalled Windows 7. It worked fine for a few days. I installed a few programs and now it's right back to doing the same thing. I installed Google Earth and…

Ok Geniuses: (Yes, I am frustrated with this method of researching computer problems) I am running Win Pro 7 64-bit and get this response to an update: Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not currently running. You may need to restart your computer. Any thoughts on how to resolve this problem? I did do some research and checked my Services.msc Based on a "fix-it" article I found: ****************************************************************************************************************************************************** Again, go through the list of services and make sure all of the following are set to Autom…

HP All-in-one with Windows 8 used for less than a week. I got the blue screen/sad face noting SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION error requiring restart. I restarted and once back on the desktop, received a juscheck.exe/Oracle America run request to install a new Java update. Received the same error again. I think that's the root of the problem, but wasn't sure how to notify Microsoft. View this thread

Hello Microsoft and everyone, I am the proud owner of a 64GB Microsoft Surface RT with Touch Cover and I love the device. This is my first Windows 8 machine and I am very much enjoying it in this form factor. My one gripe with it has more to do with how Windows 8 handles autocorrect for non-traditional keyboards such as the Touch Cover and the On-Screen keyboard. However, I think this could be easily rectified with a small OS update. While the touch cover is a good idea and certainly better than the on-screen keyboard, I find that the typing experience on mobile Windows 8 devices would benefit greatly from the kind of Autocorrect system seen on Windows Phone.…
