Had problems with windows 8 to 8.1 upgrade

I always got the reminder message to upgrade to 8.1 every time I turned my computer on.  It always gave me the option of upgrade now, upgrade 1 hour 2 hours 3 hours 4 hours later, or remind me later.  Last time I got the reminder message it didn't
give me the option of remind me later so I forced to choose 4 hours later. I contacted technical support over the phone about the issue and received remote assistance support.  The guy went into the windows update center and deleted one of the updates
that he said had to do with preventing windows 8.1 from installing on my computer.  So, I had to restart my computer after that and when my computer finally booted up after about a 20 to 30 minute setup process, I had windows 8.1 installed on my computer.

you should hide it not delete it, if your PC connected to the internet and Windows update set automatically it will download back the update that been deleted
or you can proceed with this method
http://www.askvg.com/how-to-disable-update-to-windows-8-1-for-free-notification-in-windows-8-store/
to going back to Windows 8, you can simply perform system restore, its free choice
but my advice just stick with Windows 8.1, and please update all the driver

  • Has anyone had problems with the out of the box windows adapter

    Hello all,
    If I run a trusted reconciliation from our student records system to a group in OIM, that has an access policy thet provisions home directories on a windows server, some home directorys are created, but not all. Usually the Windows connector makes the provisiong run fail.
    We are successfully provisioning:
    1) Student records system trusted recon to IDM
    2) Active directory and exchange
    3) Blackboard (virtual learning environment)
    Unsuccessfully provisioning
    1) Windows
    Has any one else had problems with windows adapter?
    Thanks
    Dave.

    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 20 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...

  • Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi
    I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
    Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
    using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
    Thanks Portozzygirl

    More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

    Has anybody had the following error while trying to download iTunes 10.5? There is a problem with Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

    Go to "control panel" then "add or remove programs".  Highlight "Apple software update"  Choose "change" click "Repair"  This should do the trick.  Then download and install iTunes 10.5 again.

  • JDeveloper 10g video problems with Windows Vista

    Hi,
    I'm using JDev 10g 10.1.3.3 over Windows Vista with Aero active. Since I started using Vista, I have always had problems with JDev. First, the fonts in the JDev panels would mess up and the scrolling would not work well. I made some changes in the way JDev uses the JDK, I don't remember exactly what I did, but I think I made the whole JDev environment to use a newer JDK, which is not engouraged/supported by Oracle. Since then, the scrolling problem was solved. But When I run my app, Aero stops working.
    Is there a way to make JDev 10g work perfectly with Vista?
    (No, I'm not willing to migrate to 11g, for several reasons, so I need to stick to 10g for now).
    Thanks!

  • Premiere Elements cause problems with Windows Media Center while streaming to TV.

    I was having the following problem:
    The audio from the streaming process of a recorded TV show on my HP computer to the remote receivers, a Sony Blu-ray player and/or a Sony Streaming Player, results in the loss of audio signal at exactly 30 seconds from the beginning on either devices. The video continues on as normal.
    A user on the Windows 7 forum had the following possible cause and solution.  His response was as follows:
    I "solved" my issue, at least partially. Turns out for me a codec installed by Adobe Premiere Elements for audio (Main Concept) was causing mfpmp.exe to fail (you should see it getting an appcrash in the event log two or three times as soon as you start playing the media remotely.) This program is used by microsoft for DRM. I went through and one by one remained the various attached (non-microsoft) modules until i found the one that caused the appcrash. I haven't fully figured out if Elements is now negatively effected, but that's for a different forum.
    I tried the quick fix by un-installing Adobe Premiere Elements.  The uninstall solved my problem with Windows Media Center, but I want to re-install the software but I do not want to recreate the problem with Windows Media Center.
    Is there another solution for this problem?

    I reinstalled Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and the above mention problem reoccured.  With a little detective work I was able to determine that the file causing my problem was "mc_dec_dd_ds.ax".  I am not sure what this does to Adobe Premiere Elements 10 since I removed (renamed) the offending file.  A strange side affect, renaming the file did cause an increase volume. Strange.  

  • TS1702 I had this Scrabble on my iPad2 and began to have connection problems, it would lock in the "connecting" position. This is not the first time Scrabble has had problems with interface. Typically customers delete the Ap then download it again to rein

    I have contacted EA about this and can find no help. I had this Scrabble on my iPad2 and began to have connection problems, it would lock in the "connecting" position. This is not the first time Scrabble has had problems with interface. Typically customers delete the Ap then download it again to reinstall it. During the process you sign in and approve the purchase KNOWING that another window will open saying that you have previously purchased it and that there is no charge. So what happened this time? It will not connect and all of my saved and current games are wiped out. I want my money back, this game interface is pretty junk and operates like some ancient DOS program,,bug,bug,buggy. I want my money back.

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch.

    I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (frequent crashes, much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch available.

    My experience with Win98 is that it is not a very stable system, regardless of software used. For example, Win2000 and XP are far more stable than 98. I've had it crash on its own if I leave the computer on for several days.
    I wouldn't recommend running programs for long time (few days) on this OS.
    This being said, can you be more specific in your question. What kind of stability problems did you have, which VIs did you run (if possible post them here), did you change the interrupts and priority levels on those VI, do you get error messages or blue screen....

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
