Updates :: Big Update Auto Resume If Internet Drops?

Nov 18, 2015

I'm running Win10 Home on an i5 5th gen laptop. I'm trying to download the big new Win10 update but I live in India and my internet is unreliable. Does the Win10 download auto-resume? I can't tell. Does the download pick up from where it left off if the internet fails? So far I can't tell one way or the other.

Installation :: Download Have Auto-resume Capability If Internet Fails

Aug 5, 2015

My plan is soon after I get the Win 8.1 laptop to download and install Win10. Here 3G cellular internet is slow and unreliable. I'm scared that if I try to download Win10 it will fail and I'll have to start the download from the beginning.

Someone told me that the Win10 download includes the ability to auto-resume so that if a download fails it can re-start from where it left off once the internet comes back. Is that true? I need to get confirmation on this before I get my new Win8.1 laptop.

If Win10 download really does have auto-resume capability then I can do the Win10 download and resume as needed if the download fails. without losing data.

How to confirm that Win10 download has auto-resume capability so downloaded data is not lost.

Installation :: Download Auto-resume If Connection Fails?

Aug 7, 2015

If I use the Window 10 Upgrade System Tray Icon to do the download then it will auto-resume with no data loss if the internet connection fails. If I try to download Win 10 Upgrade some other way then it does not have auto-resume and I'll lose the data and have to start over.

I have 3G cellular internet here in India. It is unreliable and slow and often drops out. So auto-resume is an absolute necessity if I want to successfully upgrade to Win10.

Networking :: How To See If Internet Drops Out

Feb 23, 2016

When I used to use XP I could see a little yellow warning when it drops out. Now with win10 all it shows is a little white wifi connection symbol and it says it's connected to the network.

How can I have a monitor to see if my internet is connected in win10 NOT JUST THE WIFI NETWORK!

I solve one problem and another pops up to slow me down for half a day looking for solutions. I don't have a reliable connection any more, it keeps dropping out. I need to know these things because if I'm half way through a forum message or email then when I press send I lose the lot and have to type it all over again after refreshing the browser. I just need to know when it drops out so I can copy everything I've typed into the clipboard before I hit send.

Internet Drops When Multi Tabbing?

Aug 3, 2015

I updated my PC to windows 10 on the 29th , and for the 1st few days i had no issues what so ever. However now, whenever im say Playing a game and watching youtube or netflix my net will drop and can only be fixed by a restart. It "seems" ok if I am just doing 1 thing at once, say on this very forum for example, but if i opened a few windows now and started streaming something it would for sure drop. My internet is 100mb fiber optic, and all other devices connected to my hub are fine (PC is wired connection, this is the only thing having a issue, i have a wired xbox one which is fine, and wireless works perfect.)

I've tried ipconfig/flushdns - did nothing
I've tried swapping my settings to google ( 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) - did nothing.
I've even tried turning off firewall as i saw someone say that could cause this issue - did nothing.

I know i could just roll back to windows 7 and that would probably fix everything, but i really like windows 10 and would rather fix it if possible.

Networking :: Connection Drops Completely When Trying To Use Internet

Jul 30, 2015

I upgraded to Win10 yesterday. upgrade could be a keyword for the future but since I upgraded everything has been perfect except my connection to the Internet. It's fine on startup but once I go on Edge, Chrome, steam or Skype it stops about 3 minutes in when using them. It doesn't come back unless I restart.

I'm using a Ethernet connect. All wireless devices are working fine, My LAN adapter is a Broadcom Netlink Gigabyte Ethernet. Turning router off and on again doesn't work. All drivers are up to date, apparently. No vpn.

I removed my McAfee to see if that changed anything but still no luck.

I don't know what to do now because this goes beyond my knowledge of windows 10 and computers.

My PC is over 5 years old, maybe that's a factor but it still surpassed all the requirements to run Windows 10

This brings me back to Upgrading and not full fresh install. I've too many family photos and other valuable projects. I dont have an external hard drive either, which I need soon as my current one is getting louder, but that's not the issue here. I just want to get on the Internet and enjoy my 120mb Internet speed!

Updates :: Auto Updates Breaking HP Network Printer Driver

Feb 10, 2016

Auto Updates have 'broken' my HP Network AIO Printer's driver. Repeatedly. On all four networked PCs/Laptops in my household. Requires uninstallation then re-installation of printer driver to regain network printer access/functionality. I and my family are just so impressed </sarcasm>Indeed so impressed that my daughter just bought a MacBook. It behaves perfectly.Seriously considering going over to the dark side as it appears that 'it just works' isn't just a marketing slogan.

Apps :: Auto App Updates In Store

Dec 18, 2015

How do auto updates work in the store? I noticed when I went into it there were some updates showing for things like calculator and one note. The progress bar indicated they were fully downloaded but they didn't seem to be disappearing from the list or installing themselves. Is this normal behaviour? It's not an issue as I clicked the download arrow and this seemed to manually prompt their installation immediately. They all worked fine.

i guess what I am asking is would they of installed eventually on their own? I only had the computer on for about twenty minutes or so. It didn't have loads of time to do its thing perhaps. Maybe they download and install themselves after a certain period of idle time? Or on shutdown? How often does the store to app update checks - are they pushed or is there something like once in every 24 hours in place? do recall spotting this once before with some of the MS core apps.

Possible To Disable Auto Reboots For Updates?

Aug 21, 2015

Wondering if this is possible on Windows 10, Not delay, to DISABLE AUTO reboots when a user is logged in ?

When I am done doing someone on my PC, I just kind of walk away, it goes to sleep, the monitor shuts off after about 25 min, so I just hit the space bar and I am back to where I was. This is always how I have used my computers at home and I need to continue to this way. I DONT want to hear, SAFE YOU FILES, CLOSE your Programs, etc, That is how YOU USE YOU computer, not mine.

So after installing Windows 10, it just takes it on it's own, no setting I have found to disable it, I am ok, with Windows yelling at me "reboot me !!!" ever few hours but, taking it on it's own to reboot over night is a problem.

2 times now I have lost something that was open, One was a game I had minimized that I forgot about before I went to bed and lost my progress.

Updates :: Cannot Connect To Internet For Updates While Connected

Sep 22, 2015

I am facing too many problems with win 10.

1) cant connect to internet for updates while im connected. I tried everything but stills. I have access to wifi internet from chrome or other programs but not for windows features like cortana, updates or edge. I uninstall eset, i turned of the firewall but the problem stills. I tried also windows live support but it keeps telling me that im not connected!!! (after several tries i found that the microsoft edge can work every time I am disconnected and connect again in my wifi as new- private network. but i have to do this manually cause every time i restart pc the connection goes from private to guest network!! strange. but no luck with windows updates . )

2) I was trying to add a printer and i had the message that the printer spooler don't work! i tried 3 different ways but nothing. it cant start.

3) Then I thought the best thing to do is to make a reset of windows and reinstall. I cant do this also!! its says that there is a problem due to wdf_violation!!

Updates :: How To REALLY Block Driver WU Auto-Installs

Sep 7, 2015

Obviously there are a lot of bad drivers for Windows 10.

Via PC/ Properties / Advanced /Hardware / Device Installation one should, in theory, be able to block. Does not work in Windows 10. Device drivers update anyway.

How do I block specific devices or all devices from auto-updating?

Alternatively, what procedure could I use for batching the sequence to "Rollback Driver" when wupdate updates/kills my device? For the sake of novice user I need to make this as painless as possible until MS fixes the issue.

Updates :: Remove Update From Control Panel Check For Updates

Jan 26, 2016

I'm trying to intstall updates for Windows 7 in Control Panel/Check for updates/Install Updates, but Upgrade to Windows 10 is on screen and I can't seem to proceed without the update. I already tried it and I don't like it so backed out. I don't want to upgrade and want it off of my computer. How do I remove it and all the components associated with it? I only use it for personal use, email, Facebook, a few games, etc. and not for business. 10 was too confusing and there's no one over my shoulder teaching me a new system and where all my stuff went.

Auto Repair Bootloop After Graphics Card Update

Aug 6, 2015

I am having a scary situation with my wife's notebook (which keeps our family photos) after installing Windows 10.

Her notebook is an ASUS G53JQ-A1 and the installation went through fine, except for the graphics card. The logos on screen were enormous and the resolution could not be improved through the menus.

On the Device Manager, the GPU was not even listed. The notebook was running the on-board GPU, which explains the bad resolution. Anyways, I, then, proceeded to the NVIDIA website and downloaded the latest driver, already compatible with Windows 10: [URL] ....

After the installation was complete, I had a black screen after the short boot and Asus logo. No mouse cursor.

Since nothing happened, after 15 minutes I force-restarted the notebook, only to have it go to the same black screen again. This went on for 30 mins, so I tried to hit F8 with no results.

Then the Auto Repair kicked in, but none of the options (short of REMOVE EVERYTHING) have worked so far. I will list everithing I have tried so far:

1. Reset this PC --> Keep my files
2. Advanced Options --> System Restore
3. Advanced Options --> System Image Recovery
4. Advanced Options --> Startup Repair
5. Advanced Options --> Startup Settings (just goes back to the Auto Repair main menu after a boot)
6. Advanced Options --> Go Back to Previous Build

The command prompt does open fine, but I have no clue as to what should I do there.

My questions are:

1. How do I get out of this situation without formatting the PC?
2. Is it possible that there was a conflict between the GPU driver (and all the auto-update and performance software that come along with the driver)?

Start Menu Icons Won't Work After Auto Update

Dec 22, 2015

I upgraded to Windows 10 about a month ago. Two days ago my computer is all the sudden automatically downloading some. Massive update that took a long time and rebooted my computer without prompting me.

After the download was complete I was able to use my computer seemingly as normal, but upon the next restart, the start menu wouldn't open, and the mouse wouldn't click on any of the icons. I tried a restart and got two pop up error messages saying something like "Windows failed to start properly." I tried a hard reboot a coupe times, same thing.

Google searched the problem, found this and followed the steps: How to fix Windows 10 start-up problems - Blackscreen, Bootloop, Infinite Loading [HD 60FPS] - YouTube

No luck. Now every time I boot up my computer it goes to the "automatic repair screen."

I have tried every option available from the "automatic repair screen" menu, including System Restore: because I just downloaded Windows 10, I had no restore points. System Image Recovery: it says have no image to recover). Start Up Repai: tells me Windows can't repair the problem. Command Prompt: I've been able to get in there but I don't really know what to do once there (tried what was suggested in the video above, no luck, everything was already set to zero) Startup Settings:WAS working, I was able to start up in Safemode once, still couldn't click anything and start menu still wouldn't work. Now when I click on Startup Settings and click the restart button to get to the Startup options it just brings me back to the "automatic repair screen" ...I think I've rebooted so many times at this point that my computer can't reboot without taking me there.

I've even tried the "reset this PC" option multiple times and every time it starts to reset, gets to 1% or 2% and then I get an error message saying something went wrong and the PC can't be reset.

Auto Update Stalled 3 Times At 91% - Task Bar Mail Icon Not Showing

Nov 21, 2015

I have just updated Windows 10 to Version 1501. I had to install Windows 10 from the Microsoft Update site, as the auto Update stalled 3 times at 91% .

Since then, when I open Mail from the Start Screen, although it opens OK , and there is a white horizontal line on the task bar, the Mail Icon is not there.

If I hold the cursor over the area where the icon should be, the small display comes up and I can click and open it from there OK, just the icon is missing.

Internet Explorer Not Running - Windows Updates Will Not Apply

Oct 14, 2015

I had changed the system variables in order to change the default install drive. My C drive is an SSD and I didn't want Adobe hashing up my SSD if it wasn't necessary. Everything seemed to be working well, but windows update will not apply updates and internet explorer (and some other) software will not run. Possibly due to the system variables, but I am unsure what to change or if that is even at fault.

Here are my environment variables

Internet Adapters Not Working After Update

Aug 19, 2015

Updated my computer from windows 7 a day ago to windows 10 and ever since I have not been able to get any internet. I have tried updating all of my drivers by using a USB stick but it made no difference and when I troubleshoot the problem it says "there might be a problem with the driver for the Ethernet adapter"

I had upgraded to Windows 10 before and had the same problem, but i downloaded the drivers for my motherboard and it fixed the problem, but later after that my windows didn't activate and windows support told me to take it back to Windows 7. I then had to uninstall my Ethernet drivers and reinstall the drivers and that fixed it but then I upgraded back to windows 10 and here ...

My specs :
- MSI Z97 GAMING 5 motherboard
- Intel i7 4550 possessor
- 16gb of ram
- Gigabyte GTX 970

Internet No Longer Working Since Update

Aug 2, 2015

I've recently downloaded Microsoft's Windows 10 update and ever since i'm having issues with my computer. First, I'm pretty sure the update made my computer crash because 2 days after the update, my OS completely shut down and i lost everything on my drives. I then reformatted it and installed back windows 8.1. However, I can't connect to internet since the crash, even though im connected via Ethernet. It says IPv6 has no internet connection and IPv4 just started to have the same problem. I tried to reset winsock entrie and tcp/ip stacks, but in vain. I also tried set google's open dns address, but no success there either.

Here's my ipconfig /all

Windows IP Configuration

Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : TheBeast
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid
