How to get rid of spinning blue circle that appears when i click on screen icon

When I move cursor to the dashboard at bottom of screen, arrow disappears and blue spinning circle appears. When i move cursor arrow to an icon on the screen, the arrow disappears and blue circle appears but this also no longer allows me to click on any icon or open any folder.
I also cannot open task bar to see what programmes might be running that should not be.
Problem i have now had for 12 hours. Happened after PC shut down after installing windows updates (but of course I cannot see what these updates were because I cannot open the files!
can you help?
cheers

Hello Kostas2005,
Your system seems to be loading something all the time after an update.
You can run a system restore to remove the updates that are causing the problems.
This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
Here is a link on how to do a restore.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

  • How do I get rid of the infuriating button that appears when I am scrolling?

    This button is apparently intended to speed up navigation within a document, website page, or email. In my opinion it appears unexpectedly, often overrides my input and causes me inconvenience. I don't want it, don't where it came from, don't know how to get rid of it. It's just more programmer masturbation, IMHO.

    Do you mean the button to autoscroll the page?
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General: "Use autoscrolling"
    You get this auto scroll button when you middle-click with the mouse scroll wheel on a web page.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

    When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

    My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
    Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?

    How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers? I'm trying to watch something on my TV through an HDMi cable (& apple adapter) and when I go to switch the sound control in preferences from internal speakers to SONY TV, the annoying "popping" noise occurs on my TV's speakers.

  • No apps available to download in my desktop app. Only spinning blue circle that won't go away.

    I can't seem to install any thing at all. The creative suite desktop app is installed and I can open it and see everything except under the apps tab. there is just a spinning blue circle and nothing to download at all. I have the Adobe download assistant installed as well and it starts up and opens but I can only choose from three programs and none of them are the one I want. What do I do? When I try to install from the website I get a page that says Adobe Illustrator is downloading and it just stays that way. nothing else happens. just the blue spinning wheel in the desktop app and no download happening anywhere. Where do I go from here? This shouldn't be this difficult.

    Please refer to the help document and threads below where this issue stands resolved:
    1. App doesn’t open | Progress wheel spins continually
    2. Re: Adobe Creative Cloud / Desktop App / Home Screen: Constant Spinning Wheel
    3. Re: Cant see my apps in creative cloud, just a spining wheel (Refer to my 1st post)
    As observed the second solution in
    App doesn’t open | Progress wheel spins continually
    Is the most effective one, I would request you to read the precaution too prior to using it.

  • How to get rid of install.mac - conduit - bing override when performing search in safari?

    I downloaded paintbrush through safari on my mac.  Now whenever I perform a search (writing text in the url area), i am redirect to install.mac - conduit - bing.  How to get rid of it?

    Okay i had the exact same thing aswell and it drove me crazy! I'm pretty sure i got it by downloading Paintbrush as well I finally figured out how to get rid of it tho, even after calling apple support which resulted with no solution.
    - First try to reset safari by clicking the safari tab next to the apple logo (top left), then select reset safari from the drop down box (make sure all boxes are ticked aswell)
    - Then after safari has reset go to preferences and select the privacy tab. Then go to the section Cookies and other websites data and select details.
    after that select Remove all.
    - Also make sure that your default search engine is https://www.google.com (or whatever you prefer) and that in the extentions tab there are no dodgy add-ons and things.
    - You can then exit safari, 
    (here comes the tricky bit)
    - You will need to go to you finder and select the Painbrush App, then move that b**** to the trash.
    - Once that is gone, go to the search bar in finder and type in Paintbrush.
    - Then click the +icon just below the search bar.
    - You will then want to select the ^
    - Once the brop down box appears select other
    - You will then need to search System Files in the search bar, and then tick the box next to it, then press ok.
    - After that click the ^ and change it to 
    - You will then see many files. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DELETE IMPORTANT FILES!!!
    - Some files will have the word conduit or plugin and such, so try move all of them to the trash. Again, try not to delete important files and folders, if your not sure about some just leave them, but when i did it it was fairly clear which ones to trash. (i also went and deleted any of the apps i didnt think were great/trustworthy)
    - Once you feel that all the nasty files are gone you can reopen safari and hopefully everything will be back to normal!
    It seriously took me so long to figure this out and i'm so glad that i did, especially because there were not many articles on how to. Hope it works for you as well, if you have any questions or clarifications feel free to ask!

  • How to get rid of the properties tab popping out when I create a new shape?

    Hi! I am having a bit of trouble getting rid of the properties tab that pops out everytime I create a new shape in Photoshop CC.
    Are there some settings to stop this from happening? I have my space strictly organized, as most of you probably, and I need to close it each time I create new shape... so it's frustrating.
    Thank you!

    After you draw out a shape, then go to the Properties panel fly-out menu and uncheck Show on Shape Creation

  • How to delete "Other" partition in yellow color that appears when I connect my devices to the laptop, it's a giant one (4 GB)

    Hello, I would like to know how to delete the yellow partition named "Other" (in italian "Altro") that appears when I connect all my devices to the laptop. This partition in Ipad comes with 4 Gb that for an instrument of 16 seems a bit too also because it far exceeds anything else. So far not been able to find useful information and is a very common problem. Thank you.

    Thank you very much, but it's not so simple. I read somewhere in this same forum that:
    I quote: "That large of "other" is corrupt data. Try restoring your phone from backup first, followed by syncing your content back to the phone. If restoring from backup does not fix things, you will have to restore as a new device to get rid of it. There is no way to directly delete it, other than restoring your phone."
    First of all it's terrible, (but we know that itunes is very far to work properly, it's a store) and how many times a day we should make a restoring? and if it does not have we to buy another device? I cannot believe that there aren't other solutions.

  • How do I get rid of this blue circle on the top left corner of my window?

    I had just installed OSX mavericks for my macbook and now whenever I open up firefox there's a weird blue circle in the top left corner of the firefox window.

    The problem appeared today after installing the latest update on MacOS 10.8.5 (which was out for a couple of days/weeks; I don't reboot my system that often). The auto-update of my Firefox is enabled so I don't know exactly when that got upgraded. Current version is 27.0.1. I have the minimalistic theme enabled "Default Mod 28" from http://gpopper.deviantart.com/.
    When I switch to the default theme "Default 27.0.1" from Mozilla, there is no blue circle. When I switch back to the GPopper theme, the blue circle is there again. It is consistently. I would be great to have a Safari-like theme on Firfox, especially for the Bookmarks Toolbar, which is for my preferences too high in the default theme.

  • How do I get rid of the blue text that says no savings found?

    on every site I use these random words are in light blue and if i roll the mouse over it a small box pops up and says no savings found, in the lower right corner says adfull. Is this a firefox thing ( it doesn't happen on IE) if so how do I get rid of it? It is annoying especially appearing on my game site
    I use everyday.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
