Internet Explorer issues after installing Update KB2955163 on Windows 8

Dear,
Since we've installed Windows update KB2955163 on Windows 8, we've been experiencing the following issues:
- After using Internet Explorer for a long while (one hour or longer), some websites won't work properly anymore. For example: list boxes and pop-ups don't appear.
- After using Internet Explorer for a long while (one hour or longer), employees can't access any external webpages. They receive a message saying the webpage isn't available. Reconfiguring the Proxy-settings will temporarily fix this problem.
*The above problems don't appear on all of our computers running Windows 8.
We've found the only fix for these problems, is to uninstall Windows update KB2955163.
All of our affected systems are running Windows 8 Enterprise x64, and come from various manufacturers (Dell / HP etc.).
Is anyone of you guys familiar with these specific issues regarding Windows update KB2955163?
Many thanks in advance,
Thom

Hi,
Did this issue occur on all computers which installed that update?
In generally, it's not most likely be Windows update cause.
Let's narrow down the issue:
Have you tried to reset the Internet Explorer to check the result:
1.Close all Internet Explorer windows that are currently open.
2.Open the desktop, and then tap or click the Internet Explorer icon on the taskbar. Changing your settings will affect both Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer for the desktop.
3.Tap or click the Tools button, and then tap or click
Internet options.
4.Tap or Click the Advanced tab, and then tap or click
Reset.
5.In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, tap or click Reset.
6.When Internet Explorer finishes applying default settings, tap or click
Close, and then tap or click OK. You'll need to restart your PC for these changes to take effect.
If it persists, perform a clean boot to see if it caused by some third-party software:

Can I remove internet explorer 8, after installing Foxfire

I just installed Foxfire. I like it very much and want to keep it as my permanate browser. My question is can I remove Internet Explorer 8.
Thanks
Walter Spain

No. I am not sure that IE can be totally removed from Windows XP. As I recall, it is interwoven into the XP operating system. Removing IE8 in ''Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs'' will simply back up to the previous IE version until you end up at IE6 (full of security issues). If that is the case, it is best keep IE8 on your system. If you ever need to do '''''manual updates''''' for Windows, you will need IE to do so.
You can change your default browser to be Firefox:

Can I delete Internet explorer 8 after installing Firefox with IE

I've just installed Firefox & I can open Internet Explorer with it and separately. i want to get rid of IE which was installed earlier.
Can I do it without harming my IE?

Not really sure what you are asking, or why
# removal of a desktop icon for an earlier version of IE
# removal of IE itself
I would never consider removing IE from my system, even though I had removed all IE desktop icons, and from Start Menu, etc. I did put one back somewhere. That is not to say that I don;t use IE -- it's just that if I do use IE, I launch it from Firefox through the "Launchy" extension so I am looking at the same page in two browsers.
There are some people who remove IE, which can be done, because Windows updates no longer use IE. IE has been reduced to an interface to features builtin to the Windows Operating System.
You may be referring to an extension that uses the IE engine, that part is not part of Firefox it is either invoking from the system like IE or is invoking IE.
If you have a major problem with a browser what are you going to do. Basically
# fix the problem, or
# use something else

WiFi-Network Issue After Installing Updates, When I turn my mac on from sleep. Help..

I recently installed updates on my MacBook Pro Lion and after installing MacBook Pro WFI Firmware Updat 2.2 and Thunderbolt Software Update 1.0, when I put my mac on sleep and come back, my mac will not connect to my network automatically. I have to turn off WiFi and turn back on in order for me to connect again. I didnt have this issue before installing these updates. Can anyone help me with this? Is it a software issue or hardware issue with my mac?

I'm very angry about this. This has been ongoing for quite a while, and the past several point updates (10.7.1 and 10.7.2 haven't fixed it.) I'm on 10.7.2 and still having this problem 100% of the time when I wake my 15" 2010 MacBook Pro from sleep by opening the lid. Even thought it's connected to the same network (Airport Express, fully updated) when I close and open it, WIFI does not reconnect, and I have to manually turn it off and on again before it will work.
I'm not the only angry one about this though. Do a search on the Apple Communities forums for "macbook pro lion wifi sleep" to see many other users with the same problem.

After installing update 1 for Windows 8.1 NTVDM.exe not working anymore.

Hi. After waiting for the new WSUS friendly version of the KB2919355 update, I deployed it via WSUS to various machines. After the update, one machine started giving NTVDM errors when calling the wuauclt.exe file.
I need a way to re-install the NTVDM.exe and NTVDMD.dll files in Windows 8.1 seeing that they were corrupted. I cannot find anything on the web on how to do this in 8.1.
Please help.

Hi,
Please check wuauclt.exe file version which located C:\Windows\System32. If windows 8.1 update 1 installed, its version should be 7.9.9600.17031.
In addition, please check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.

Issues after installing Classic on OS 10.4

Background and System
I have a Power Mac G3 350Mhz Rev 2 Blue and White, 512MB, 40GB, DVD ROM
running 10.4.9 installed from Retail DVD. Firmware up to date. 2x 20 GB partitions formatted as Extended
Prior to this issue OS X has been running well.
Issue:
After installing OS 9.2.1 to second partition OS X will now not boot up from DVD nor it's partition
Solutions tried:
I wanted to install a Classic environment so used a Retail OS 9.2.1 Bootable CD and did a full install to the second partition.
After the install finished and the system restarted, set on the OS X (Partition1) for start up the system hangs right after the Apple "Chime". with no signal to video card
Attempted to then boot from OS 10.4 DVD but this does not get detected when holding "c" down for boot up from CD option. This worked perfectly before.
Have run OS 9.2.1 Disk Aid Verify and both partitions are ok. The system will boot from the 9.2.1 CD and partition but anything to do OS X now will not work. I also tried an Ubuntu 6.06 Live CD but this will not now boot either.
Checked firmware and tried to re run firmware update and this advised my firmware was up to date.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

The only thing I can think of is that when you installed the 10.4.9 OS you didn't option to install OS 9 drivers.

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
How do I get update to 6.0.2?
Will that even help?

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

A problem is after install update december 10, 2014

A problem is after install update december 10, 2014 UAC settings says unknown publisher , troubleshooting not working, when I want to change any setting it says unknown publisher , windows defender not starting etc

Hi
vijay ,
Have you tried the solution provided by
Winword Exonar ? Does it work? Any feedback would be appreciate?
If this is not the cause, then I would suggest you return to a previous point with system restore. or simply uninstall the updates december 10, 2014 , then check if issue persists, we should first find out whether one update included in is the culprit.

Do I have to uninstall internet explorer before I install firefox?

I have been having so many problems with my Internet Explorer freezing up on me...I'm getting those annoying hour glass icons especially when I'm on facebook....

Do not uninstall Internet Explorer if you install Firefox, it will still be needed for some sites such as Windows Update.

Exchange 2010 - Issues after rollup update installation.

Exchange 2010 - Issues after rollup update installation.
We are having issues since we installed SP3 Rollup updates 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Issue1 - People get an error messages constantly popping up when they access our webmail. The error messages are:
An unexpected error occurred and your request couldn't be handled. and
Your network connection is unavailable. Please reconnect and try again.
Issue2 - When I open the Exchange Management Shell I get the following error:
Failed to connect to an Exchange server in the current site. Enter the server FQDN where you want to connect.
Issue3 - We have been using third party software to filter spam email. It is installed on our Exchange server. Since the updates it has not been working and we have tons of spam coming through. I dont think that this issue is that important at the moment and
hope that it will be fixed after resolving issues 1 and 2.
We uninstalled all four rollup updates in hopes that everything would go back to normal but it hasnt. We still have the same issues.
Currently we are running Exchange 2010 SP3 on 2008R2 SP1.
Please help.
Thanks.
Greg

Hi,
Based on the description, you got the error below when you tried to accessed OWA after rollup update installation.
"An unexpected error occurred and your request couldn't be handled, and Your network connection is unavailable. Please reconnect and try again."
For this issue, I recommend you check the OWA virtual directory to see if "Redirect requests to this destination" is checked. If it is checked, please uncheck the option. Then please restart IIS service to check the result.
Open IIS Manager -> owa -> HTTP Redirect -> uncheck "Redirect requests to this destination:"
Best regards,
Belinda

Issues after installing Mavericks

I am having a ton of issues after installing macericks on wed evening, on my MBP 15" 2.5 GHz i7 with 8GB of memory,
I have a task com.apple.internetaccouts, and com.apple.MailServiceAgent, taking upwards of 100% CPU at time and the fan will go full speed, and earlier today i had a msg come up that i had run out of usable memory and the sytem had paused programs, I have restarted a few times and still the same things are coming up and the system has become really slow.
would think that with this system not being that old, that i should not be having these types of issues, if there is something that someone could lead me to ths casue i thnk you
Thanks

Had this issue again today on my wife's iMac. This was after the Mail.app update that was recently released. I now have messed with this issue enough that I believe I have figured it out.
I used to have a plugin for Mail called HTTPMail that was used to access Hotmail prior to them having POP/IMAP. It seems that removing the account from Mail left some residual account details in the ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist file. Mavericks Mail.app chokes on this account detail and starts duplicating it numerous times. That's why the Accounts.plist file grows so large.
If you open the Accounts.plist file in a text editor (TextWrangler would be my suggestion), find any <dict> entry that points to services.msn.com in any way and remove all those <dict>...</dict> entries, it should resolve the issue. Warning though - I had to delete hundreds of entries so it took a while to do. Once I finished it though, my wife's e-mail has been working fine.

Elite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update

DElite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="4">Elite Pro CMSS-3D control (on I/O console)no longer controls CMSS-3D.
The only time it works is if the original drivers are installed from the installation CD.
ANY other drivers stop the control on the Elite Pro I/O console from having any effect on CMSS-3D.
Also at one time when I cotrolled volume, CMSS-3D(original drivers), EAX and Crystalizer from the Elite Pro I/O controls then I had on screen display of said control that was being moved(on I/O console).
Now regardless of what drivers are installed, there?are no longer any on screen indicators.
The indicators looked like the ones that show when using the remote controller.
Anyone have any ideas?

Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated. How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated? In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated. How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated? In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.
