Start Menu Not Auto Updating After Installation of New Applications
// Also reported via Windows Feedback Tool //
After the installation of several applications, the new Start Menu does not necessarily automatically update to reflect the added programs.
The application’s folder is properly installed under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs, but it will not show under the Start Menu until the user logs out and logs in.
Interestingly enough, this behavior is not consistent. Some applications installations are immediately reflected while others are not.
In this particular example, LibreOffice 4.3 was installed.
Hi @Senttu
Thank you for your reply.
You can try running the file checker to look for and try to repair corrupted files.
Go to the command prompt.
Right click and run as administrator.
Type sfc /scannow and press enter.
You can also try using the Windows troubleshooter. Diagnose and repair Windows File and Folder Problems automatically.
If the issue should still remain, I suggest contacting MIcrosoft for assistance.

Start Menu not showing up after 8.1 Update
I am a MSDN subscriber and after applying the Windows 8.1 Update (release April 2nd to MSDN) the Start Menu is not showing up as described in the Key Note.
Is anyone else having this issue? Its as if the updates were never applied.
ThanksHi,
Would you please help to provide more detailed description of your concern?
I suppose that once the computer restart, the desktop show up instead of Start screen by default.
One settings can change this behavior which is newly added in Windows 8.1 update 1: Show store app in taskbar

Since the installation of 8.0.2 my iPhone 6 will not auto rotate in any app. I have locked/unlocked the feature in settings several times using the command bar but to no avail. I read using the Kindle app and it also is locked in portrait whether the lock is on or off.

Your auto lock got turned on. Swipe up on the screen and tap the upper right icon. This will allow it to work again!
Actually, the OP tried that (six months ago) and it didn't work. They resolved the issue (six months ago) by updating their system software (six months ago). -
Build 10061 - Start Menu not opening programs other than Modern UI applications
When I attempt to open a program via the start menu absolutely nothing happens, unless I am attempting to open a Modern UI app. I've tried deleting the shortcut and "re-pinning" it to the start menu and it still does not work. Any
ideas?Assuming you are using build 10061.
Will it work if you right click at the program shortcut > select Run As Admin ?
excerpt from Insider Hub:
Here are some known issues for this build
We know this one will be a bit painful but there is a bug with this build in which Win32 (desktop) apps won’t launch from the Start menu. The workaround is to use search to find and launch these apps and pin them to your taskbar for quick access. -

How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?
The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test. -
Windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3.
windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3. Where do I start to get my p.c. going again ???
I get the message that a recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
The computer does not boot up in safe mode or last known good configuration.
I'm glad you think the software has nothing to do with it, but perhaps you can also explain why this problem started as soon as I downloaded the desktop software and tried to restart the computer. -
How do I set the default in Firefox to NOT auto update?
I am being asked to create an installer for Firefox that sets the default to NOT auto update. We have Standard users who cannot load software, so do not want them to be prompted. WE want to control when programs get updated, so need to set the default in Firefox to not prompt to update anything. How do I do this? What file can I change?
I've tried that, and then created my installer, but it defaults back to having auto update checked, or in the ON position. I want it to default to being OFF so any new installs or upgrades that I send out do not turn it back on.
We manage all computers here, and do not want users doing any updates. -
Plug-Ins not auto-updating, but auto update is set.
I wanted to warn others about this problem.
I read an earlier answer where someone said that Plug-Ins won't auto-update, perhaps that is correct, but if Plug-Ins don't auto-update, why is there an auto-update feature?
(Tools-AddOns-Updated Automatically & Check for Updates both don't catch that plug-ins are out of date).
I'm not talking about random obscure programs, this is the Java Platform & Toolkit. Shouldn't the Add-Ons options clearly state that they don't automatically update or check for updates?
Fortunately I have decent anti-virus software, but I didn't discover this until I picked up a Trojan and started reviewing every single program on my computer to see if I had missed any updates.Thanks, I just wanted to warn others if they got confused, the way the options are set up it is a little confusing for us who aren't familiar with the difference between Addons & Plugins, it looks like you are choosing an Auto-Update for the Plugins too.
I also figured out that the Java program is not auto-updating even though I set the auto-update feature on the program itself (which has nothing to do with any Firefox issues), so I will have to remember to check their support and also manually check the program pretty often. -

Has anyone's screen go blank and not boot up after installing the new yosemite OS
has anyone's screen go blank and not boot up after installing the new yosemite OS
Hi Mofimac,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Mac is only starting up to a blank gray or white screen after updating OS X, you can find some useful troubleshooting steps in this article:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
I recommend going through these first three sections first:
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
Perform a Safe Boot
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM

Installed Security Update 2012-001. Now Quicken will not auto save and the auto save function in Preferences cannot be changed. There are numerous similar comments in the Macbook discussions about other apps. Come on, Apple, we need some help out here!
Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:
