Aug 17, 2015

How can I enable full user control without getting a ton of "failed to enumerate" errors after clicking apply? Can't even install printer software to Program Files.

Such hoops to jump through...

Installation :: No User Control With Updates

Dec 26, 2015

Have updates that are "Waiting to download" (again because they Failed to install) - NO USER OPTION to start them individually or collectively.

and there is No user option to Stop Windows10 downloading constantly failing updates over and over.

That must be fixed:

How do I stop daily Office XP Service pack 3 download of course after the download it does fail to install?

If such update was ever issued this should be no problem to install even if it was for the XP.

This must be the reason the Windows Upgrade to 1511 crashes the computer after "Installing features & Drivers reaches 100% - and Configuring settings 100%.

Accounts :: Incorrect Password After Changing User?

Mar 5, 2016

I was working on my laptop just fine this morning and when using a specific program noticed it was saving work as a previous user. So I went to accounts and changed the user name to mine. Now when I start the computer and am prompted for password it just says "incorrect password" even though it still shows the "password hint" as the same as it used to be and the user pic is still the old one.

I am freaking out as I have deadlines due today and can't access my computer!

Security :: User Account Control Blocking All Executables?

Dec 8, 2015

After two days of trouble shooting I am at wits end. Somehow a User Account has been created with a name related to my Sonos Controller app. It's called Sonos Wireless HiFi System. For all but a very few executables, when I try to use them I get the UAC window, which lists the executable I'm trying, but asks for an administrative password for the Sonos Wireless HiFi System. I did not create this User Account so I have no password.

I've tried uninstalling the Sonos app, but the notice comes up preventing it. I've tried editing the registry to remove the app, but the notice appears. I've tried similar things to delete the User Account. I've tried to reset or recover, but the notice appears. I've tried too many things to list, but whatever I try to execute I get this notice - even for attempts to edit or delete.

SWHS is listed on the start menu as a User Account, just under Guest. It is NOT listed in my User Account Controls.

Apps :: User Account Control Popup - (YES) Button Grayed Out - Can't Click It

Oct 3, 2015

Whenever I try to open most non-Microsoft programs and many Windows 10 features -- like System Restore, for example -- I get the 'User Account Control' pop-up with the "YES" button grayed out, dead, so it can't be clicked. Only the "NO" button in the pop-up is live and clickable so in the end I just can't do anything in the computer anymore.

That happened out of the blue a few days ago and it's the very worst consequence of my making the stupid mistake of linking my Microsoft account to my Windows sign in.Now I also can neither find nor access my Administrator account, or make any changes to accounts for that matter.

Tried System Restore through 'Settings/Recovery/Advanced Startup' and it didn't work. Then I tried Windows 10 'refreshing' (re-installing). That not only didn't solve the UAC popup problem but added a huge new one to the whole mess: I lost all my non-Microsoft programs (Advanced System Care, Lightshot, etc), and now can't install them back anymore.

Yesterday I spent around an hour and a half online with a US-based Tech person from Microsoft's Help Desk. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't find a solution, and in the end I was told the only way out for me was to wipe my hard disk out and reinstall the original OS that came with my laptop -- in that case, it was Windows 7. However, this computer didn't come with a Reinstall disk; it only has a copy of Windows 7 in the 'D' drive so if I wipe everything out I won't have a way to reinstall the original OS.

Changing Personalization / Background / Theme Settings

Aug 8, 2015

So yesterday I installed 10 on the laptop. It appears to work very well, even though it seems, and is, intrusive (privacy concerns) and for me a long learning curve to figure out how all the new 'apps' (old redesigned programs and UI) work.

Here's the problem:

I have read through this tutorial (plus many other posts and articles): [URL]

I want/need to change the timing of the background pictures/theme and the colors of the window from the stock (forced upon me) settings, but the display does NOT show the controls in the bottom of the personalization area as they are shown in that tutorial (They were there in W7 and Vista, and in the tutorial above made in March).

I have tried different resolutions (none smaller available, currently at 1366x768, native), and only two font/display/text sizes I could find of 100% and 125%: The needed controls still don't show up.

The laptop is an ASUS G50VT - 5. Stock except for a 500GB Hybrid drive.

BSOD :: Laptop Crashed After Changing Settings For Password

Oct 27, 2015

Windows kept asking me for the password upon startup and would not recognize the password I input each time. So I would have to reset it. I went to the forum and read how to shut the password feature off by holding the windows key + r , typing the letters provided and unchecking the box. The system then asked me to restart. My laptop will not restart - blue/black screen appears and nothing else.

Switch To Headphones Without Having To Change Control Panel Sound Settings

Mar 26, 2016

My default configuration is powered speakers connected via the optical output on the ZXR. So in control panel, the S/PDIF is my default device. I'd like to be able to also switch to headphones without having to change control panel sound settings. Is there a configuration that enables me to do this? It seems as if I can't have the s/pdif output my default if I want to use headphones. I'm on Windows 10 with latest software updates.I switched to using the analog outs from the ZXR and not taking advantage of the D/A converters built into my powered speakers (Vanatoo). Not the optimal situation, but it allows me to switch from speakers to headphones without having to go through Control Panel gyrations.

LAN Connection Keeps Changing From Automatically Detect Settings To Proxy Server

Sep 15, 2015

This issue happened after I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 on my HP computer. We also have another older Dell computer, on which this issue did not occur after upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7. I followed advise from an IT technician provided about this issue with Windows 8.1 including editing the registry (Internet Settings and Default Connection Settings) and have no trouble accessing the internet. However, typically after every day or every other day (at most after three days) turning my computer on after being off overnight, the internet connection settings revert back from automatically detect settings to proxy server.

I do not use a proxy server and cannot access the internet when this occurs. This keeps happening even though I go back and reedit the register. What can be done to permanently fix this problem? I am currently using Internet Explorer 11 instead of Edge until Microsoft comes out with their update in early November that allows extensions. I use Norton 360 and cannot use this program with Edge until extensions are allowed, because of security on the internet.

Since this does not happen with the Dell computer, I checked the settings mentioned by the IT Technician and found that the following Internet Settings were not present in the registry: ProxyHttp.1 (or ProxyHttp1_1) and ProxyServer. Will it harm my HP computer if I delete these two from the registry so that the Internet Settings will be the same as those on the Dell computer, which as pointed out above does not have this problem? Also, for ProxyServer the IT technician indicated that there should be no value for this in the registry.

Networking :: Workstation Hangs At Applying User Settings

Dec 18, 2015

My name is Peter, and I'm IT Administrator at Junior High School. One month ago I installed Windows 10 Education on all computers. Everything was fine until today. Today users changed his passwords. Now, when user try to login to the PC, system hangs at "Applying User Settings". The only solution (not the best) is to remove user profile from workstation, but after next password change, problem returns. Active Directory looks fine, Previously installed Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 has worked without this issue. Maybe some one knows the solution or perhaps steps to diagnose it.

P.S. Windows version is 10586.29, Active Directory is based on Windows Server 2012.

Accounts :: Keyboard Settings Not Carried Over To New User Account

Jan 14, 2016

I am running a laptop with a French keyboard layout, with Windows set on British English. For my admin account this works fine - there is an English and French input method available in the language settings in Control Panel (and I can even switch to an English keyboard layout, if I want, with the language settings 'button' in the righthand side of the task bar).

I would like to set up a user account for my son, which I have done, but it opens up with an English keyboard layout. I go into the language settings, but only the English keyboard is available as an input method. I add the French keyboard, but I cannot switch to this keyboard - there is no language button in the task bar and windows+space doesn't do anything.

I've even tried deleting the English keyboard layout to leave just the French. The language settings now show only the French keyboard, but Windows still stubbornly insists on staying with the English layout! What do I have to do to get the User Account to work with the French keyboard?

(User) Still There But Default Settings / Files Missing When Login?

Feb 20, 2016

I have an Acer (Intel Pentium Windows 10, 64-bit) computer which I bought a few months ago, and created one 'user' (my name - say John) Suddenly this week when I logged in (as John) the only items on the desktop were the default programs installed with the computer; all my files were gone. When opening the browser, or windows media player, all my custom settings were gone and it was as if the programs were being used for the first time. The default program used to open files (e.g. the original program instead of windows media player) had all reverted also.The start button was/is also not working.

I then discovered my files are still there and accessible - to do so I have to right-click on one of the programmes on desktop and 'open file location' then I can use the left column to (through windows explorer) get to C drive then 'Users' then 'John' and I can access everything that way.Also, the keyboard settings have bizarrely changed ie shift + 2 gives the @ sign instead of quotation mark.I have Norton which suggests no virus involved.I didn't have system restore activated.When computer starts it says press DEL to enter setup but nothing happens when I press it.is there anyway to fix this without doing a reset?

Accounts :: Unable To Downgrade Because Of User Account Error

I updated to W10 2 days ago and now I want to downgrade to Windows 7 but I can't. When I go to "Recovery" and click on "Get started" the pop-up window says "Getting things ready" and after that it says that I have to remove all the accounts created with W10, which are 2, but only one is created with W10 and I can't access it. I can't delete them through Settings>Accounts or Control Panel or whatever. Since upgrading I've only had problems and I am this close to throw my laptop. I'm using Toshiba Satellite.
