I uninstalled avast after i installed Windows 10. Now everytime I boot up I get an avast popup wanting me to update avast. How can I get rid of this popup. I scanned my computer and got one Trojan and deleted it. Popup continues.
View 1 RepliesWhat does "%1" means in windows file open popup, or what program causes it? I think it's associated with picture file types (jpg, png, gif...)
Is there any way to delete it or find what program causes it and fix it by re/uninstalling that particular app?
It was unable to boot and i got caught in a "Automatic Repair Restart Loop" ...
I went to the Advanced options in recovery options but unable to access any form of safe mode. Also for some reason none of my restore point/images appear. Tried to Reset the PC but keep my files but that process stops at 1% due to some unknown problem.
The only thing I'm able to access is Cmd Prompt.
I'm unable to access or run the Avast clean install utility from the recovery menu since I can only guess the remnants of Avast is interfering with booting to windows 10.
Im reluctant to do a factory restore since I have quite a few important files that I haven't backed up.
So I thought I'd try out free version of Avast. Well, after few weeks of getting rocked by popups, I uninstalled it(from programs and features) and rebooted it, thinking life is good now. Hell naw it ain't good now, not at all.
I'm stuck in Automatic Repair loop. Windows attempts to auto repair, tells me my PC didn't start properly, does not boot to safe mode, does not find any restore points, fails to "Startup Repair" and is unable to "Reset this PC"
In command prompt that I can open in that cute lil blue metro interface I get following:
1. Disks are there and volumes are healthy(tho volume letters are wrong my os SSD is D: and storage HDD is C: )
2. sfc /scannow tells me that there is a system repair pending which requires reboot blah blah fml
3. dism ran against D: with /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth fails with logs containing few errors(among tons of info logs):
*Error creating registry mapping:COMPONENTS - CIfflineRegistry::Init
*Failed to mount the remote registry
*Failed to set the windows directory to 'D:Windows'
4. dism ran with /revertpendingactions gives me same errors in logs as above
that's pretty much it. So is my registry completely screwed?
The mousepad on my laptop is not working now that I have updated to windows 10. I have reinstalled the correct drivers from advent and gone through the mouse settings but nothing is working. The laptop is an advent monza s200
View 3 RepliesMy previous laptop running windows 10 finally gave up the ghost and died on me. Not a hard drive issue but power problems (in trying to fix it I broke some of the solder joints), any way it was 5 years old and was due to be replaced, however the hard drive was absolutely fine. So I bought a new laptop with a shiny new 1tb hard drive with windows 10 pre-installed.
So having used Macrium before (when I installed a 256gb SSD) I decided to leave the new laptop as a clean install and reinstall any programs that I still needed. Guess what, it seems that there was an awful lot of stuff that I had accumulated that I just didn't need any more. After copying some documents over for work and installing a couple of essentials total space used including OS is less than 75gb.
I uninstalled my laptop's keyboard and I can't install it again. My laptop is a Sager NP8278-S, which is based on a Clevo P170SM-A.
I uninstalled the "Standard ps/2 keyboard" driver via the device manager because im stupid. After the restart, my keyboard doesn't work. I tried installing it again via the device manager, after showing hidden devices and disconnected devices, it is still not there. I searched for a keyboard driver by clevo or sager and there isn't any. There is an utility for the backlit keyboard called "Hotkey", but after installing that,

View 1 RepliesI have a Windows 10 Pro 64 workstation that is fully up-to-date with all the latest security patches. It has Malwarebytes Home Premium installed and a full scan indicates that I have NO vermin in residence. Similarly, a full scan using Windows Defender also indicates that I have no vermin in residence.
My problem is that regardless of what I use to UNinstall LibreOffice v4.4.6.3 (Control PanelPrograms & Features, CCleanerUninstaller, Revo Uninstaller, or IOBit Uninstaller), it manages to reinstall itself upon system restart.
I recently replaced my GTX 660 with a GTX 970, and after I had completed installing that, the PC started up perfectly. The only issue was the internet said it was not connected (with a red X on the connection icon). I used the troubleshooter to discover that I did not have a LAN driver installed and windows didn't couldn't detect what I needed. I check my files and the driver was still there, so I uninstalled it expecting the disk that had come with the box of the motherboard to reinstall the driver correctly. After I had uninstalled the driver and used the disk to try and reinstall, the driver did not reappear. I searched for a driver install separately on my laptop, but to no avail. Nothing seemed to be compatible with my motherboard. The driver which I had assumed matched state that it could not detect the family of driver on my PC. I tried to do a recovery but didn't have a backup file, and resorted to a factory reset. After trying the disk after the reset, and continuing to search for the right driver, I came up empty handed.

View 1 RepliesI was forced to uninstall the Lenovo power management driver from my laptop because it was giving me blue screens (I believe it used to happen when the display was meant to go to sleep). This means that I now have no power management and the fan goes full blast all the time. Therefore I want to reinstall the driver to see if I can find a workaround to the crashing while keeping the fan a bit quieter. How do I do this? Windows Update can't see that it is missing and Lenovo don't have a download for it, presumably because Windows is supposed to handle installing the driver automatically.
View 9 RepliesWhen i press Shift+Delete to delete any file, it doesn´t do anything except maybe 10 beeps, its the sound it makes for example when asking for something or some pop-up windows like that. Also when I try this, like at this moment, when writing this in Chrome (which is pretty hard, because of the following things), it does weird things like typing random numbers, deleting the text, skipping the like if I pressed the arrows or enter button, also it was going back in browsing, all by itself. It happens more after when I press Backspace or Delete.
I don´t know what is happening, can´t believe this is a Windows function i don´t know about or if I should be worried about my keyboard or maybe even a virus. (I am not using any downloaded antivirus).
The generic PnP monitor driver in the device manager keeps reenabling/reinstalling itself whenever I restart Windows 10 on my early 2011 MBP (Boot Camp). I want to leave it disabled so the brightness controls on the keyboard work, otherwise they don't.
I do not want to disable automatic driver update checking by Windows 10. I know that if I turn off automatic driver installation via device installation settings and enabling "Prevent installation of other devices not described by other policy settings" will keep the "Generic PnP Monitor" driver uninstalled, and this is certainly one solution that works, but disabling these features interferes with the installation of other devices (one example is the TAP driver for the Private Internet Access Windows client).
There is no available apple display driver I can install over the generic driver that I have found, but the brightness controls work perfectly when the Generic PnP driver is disabled/uninstalled. I just wish it'd stay that way after a restart.
I'm having this .exe error popping up on my comp really frequently...... How to get rid of it?
View 8 RepliesI tried Windows 10, but I would like to stay with Windows 8.1 until some crucial issues have been taken care of.
The issue is that I get a Windows 10 update pop up every time I start my tablet.
I do have automatic Windows update enabled; and would like to keep it on since I do want to receive other windows 8.1 updates.
A long time ago I got a windows key through my workplace which I used on my home computer.. I know it's a valid key as I ran the genuine software test.
I also have Service pack one and it says that I have windows 7 professional -- so I know it's not enterprise.
But still I don't have any update popups.. and when I tried to run the manual installer I just got a "something happened 0x80070002 - 0x20016" and the program shuts down.what's wrong?
keeps popping up everytime i boot up. how can i fix it.

View 5 RepliesMaybe I have a misunderstanding of how System Restore works. Yesterday I uninstalled a program that I'd like to now get back. The company that made the program no longer offers archive downloads for that program in particular. Today it occurred to me that I could do a System Restore to when the program was still on this laptop & all would be returned as it was.
The first 2 times I tried was a total fail for returning the program but when I went back to a week ago it was there. Something is missing & it errors asking for the old install software that doesn't exist anymore (the program was purchased it 2008).
So on every boot up i get a anti virus is deactivated which pops up in lower right corner and disappear a split second after.
I got microsoft essential antivirus and malware anti as a secondary scanner, firewall is on..
When I open an email in Outlook 2010 and click on a browser link I keep getting a popup saying "How do I want to open this?"
I keep ticking the checkbox at the bottom of the popup so that I use Internet Explorer, but the popup appears every time I want to open a link.
How can I get rid of this popup, I have set Internet Explorer as my default browser?
I upgraded from 8.1 to 10. Eudora 7 worked fine in 8. However, the problem I'm having is when I click on a hyperlink within a post, a pop-up window appears telling me, "you'll need a new app to open this program." Opening the link within the popup, takes me to the Store where a message says, "Your search for "about" had no results.
View 9 RepliesI don't even have Chrome installed. as this is a clear sign of an attempt to inject Malware. Even if I had Chrome installed, I'd never consider updating through such popups.
Take this as a warning, following such links will indeed install Mal-ware on your machine.
