Unable to connect after windows update

window 7 updates and AVG updates occurred. Windows firewall is off and AVG firewall is not active. AVG was disable completely with not affect.

Is your whole network down, or just Firefox? Are there any error messages?
Contact your provider and have them test your service. Also, unplug your
modem. Wait about 30 seconds before plugging it in.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

T430s unable to restart after Windows Update

I'll start with the short version. I just got my ThinkPad T430s, so there were a lot of Windows Updates to install. After one batch, I am no longer able to restart the machine. When I click Shut Down, Restart or Log Out, the desktop disappears, but instead of bringing up the "Shutting Down..." screen, it just shows the desktop background indefinitely until I power down by holding the power button. I have been unable to figure out what is causing this, how to fix it, or which Windows Update was the cause.
Longer version:
I upgraded my machine from Windows 7 Home to Pro. After a series of Updates the problem started. I tried a lot of things, then decided to try reinstalling Windows. Again, it happened after a large chunk of Windows Updates. I have tried a million things. System Restore points don't fix it. "Clean Boot" doesn't fix it. Uninstalling Windows Updates doesn't fix it. Eventually I tried to use the Lenovo recovery CD, but it turns out the recovery partition only contains one of the 4 CDs you use. You don't find this out until you get an error that says "You have inserted the wrong disk" which occurs AFTER the recovery software has wiped all your partitions. So now my recovery partition is gone as well. My current plan is to install Windows fresh to hold me over until Lenovo can ship me the full set of recovery CDs, but if anyone has any ideas for what might be causing this no restart problem, I would appreciate it.

kb2647753 seems to be the problem child.

Satellite L750/755 - No connection after Windows Updates

HI, I have a brand new L750/755. network adapter is atheros.
after installing the windows updates (85mb, framework 3.5.1, security updates) There is no way to connect to the internet.
The laptop will still find any accesspoints, but only connect with limited connectivity or no internet access.
I had to restore the laptop to before the updates installed to fix this.
how can I get round this issue, or failing that how can I get these updates to stop intalling on shut down?
thanks in advance
ps I had already tried installin the latest network adapter drivers, changing the power settings, and connecting to other routers. nothing worked.

> I had to restore the laptop to before the updates installed to fix this.
Do this and after doing this disable automatic Windows update. When you do Windows update manually, install important updates only. Before you start update check listed optional updates and disable driver updates.

Unable to boot after windows update

Hello,
As is was trying to update windows today I didn't expect to lock up my computer, but right now i'm facing the blue screen of death at every startup. The startup repair is not helping.. So right now the only option i see is to reformat my C drive??
This was really unexpected, as I was installing a few of the optional windows updates (mostly drivers i think for the fingerprint reader, graphic card... ) when my pc crashed. I hope to recover some of the files on my desktop before reformating.
So i'm not really expecting too much help here because i can basically do nothing as even the startup repair is not working. But i'm wondering, are there any windows updates that should be avoided? I wish i knew what screwed up my pc. I'm runnign the w520 on windows 7btw.
Thanks!!
Aurel
Solved!

Unable to connect to the Update Center

Using: Windows XP SP 1
I downloaded and installed NetBeans 5.5 just a few minutes ago and I'm unable to connect to the Update Center. I can connect using NetBeans 5.0.
Has anyone else run into this problems?

Ok, I was able to get NB 5.5 to connect to the Update Center after temporarily disabling Norton Internet Security. Not the ideal solution, obviously, so I'll have to figure out some kind of 'rule' to make NIS to allow NB 5.5 to connect to the Update Center.

SP 2010 - Getting "An unexpected error has occurred. " message when accessing Sharepoint site after windows update - Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi,
I am new to SP 2010. I have installed Share point 2010 server (trial version) on my Windows 7 Home Premium Laptop by following the below link.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869%28office.14%29.aspx
Everything went fine and was able to see the new sharepoint site after completing configuration wizard. SP2010 Central Admin also worked fine.
However, after windows update, sharepoint site is not working. I was able to see the site working for more than a day before windows update. SP2010 Central Admin is still working. Executed "PSCONFIG" after
update but still no good.
I saw a warning "The Security Token Service is not available" in Central Admin and did some research to fix the issue but nothing worked.

Printer Unable to connect on Windows 8.1 64 bit based Lenovo Laptop.

We have HP LaserJet 3030 all in one printer installed on Windows XP Professional. We are using LAN network to connect the printer on network. But our Printer Unable to connect on Windows 8.1 64 bit based Lenovo Laptop. Also check for windows update for this issue. Please fix this quickly.

Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
If you can't get a working installer via the standard download links, try the following download links instead:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe

Dell Latitude E6520 fails to boot after Windows Updates

Hello,
I have a Dell Latitude E6520 that is not starting up after Windows updates. It installs updates and requests a reboot, after which it blue screens at the splash logo and reboots again. This goes on indefinitely. The only way to repair it is to boot from
a recovery disk and run:
dism /image:D:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
This is after running dism /image:D:\ /get-packages and noticing that several updates are still in an "Install_Pending" state. These are the kb's that are pending:
kb2982378
kb2978742
kb2977629
kb2976897
kb2973112
kb2972211
There were other updates, but those showed as installed. I would post the WindowsUpdate.Log, but I do not see a button to attach a file and the log is very long. Here is what I think is relevant towards the end of the log:

how about updating to internet explorer 8?
or firefox 4?
getting microsoft updates will probably work better with internet explorer 8 though?

Windows Update Error 800B0109 after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 Installed

Hi, I have this error message when running windows update, it happened after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 installed.
Any idea how to resolve this?
Thank you.

Hi，
Please make sure that your antivirus application does not scan the files in the
%windir% \SoftwareDistribution directory on any computer on which Windows Update Agent is installed.
You can also temporarily turn off the antivirus application and check the result.
Or run the following commands, and press Enter after each command:
Net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%
Ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Net start wuauserv
Try to install updates again.

Profiles being reset after windows updates?

Hi All
I'm having issues with Outlook 2013 SP1 resetting our users profiles after Windows Updates have been applied. Their profiles are being reset whilst their previous profiles are being renamed to "BACKUP of <profile name>".
Office 2013 x86 has been deployed via VL Media onto Win7 x64 machines and we are distributing the ImportPRF registry key via GPO (set to Update) in order to customise the profiles on first run. (basic email account and attaching a default PST file)
It appears that after windows updates are applied outlook is triggering the first run process again and therefore resetting the users profiles back to the standard set in our PRF.
We used this method to configure Outlook 2010 and for the years of deploying Office 2010 we never had any issues. Can anyone suggest what might be going on here or what might have changed in Office 2013?
Thanks

I do not see much about coloum 14, but I am guessing this file is stored somewhere and its corrupt. Update.xul suggests that it is the update file. Do you still have this in your downloads folder? There are two places for update and for a clean reinstall:
[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/] in a private window will give you a new install or you can choose from here: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/]
This is what the file should look like; [http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/log/7a2edc5171e6/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/content/update.xul] If you can copy and paste that file from a working browser we can see the issue, but it will just look the same as the error.
if you can replace the contents of the file locally with what it should look like it will fix the error, but who knows if there are other errors. May be best to delete the updater and save all the profile folder contents.

I want to backup my pinned tabs and my bookmarks as they have been lost several times after windows updates

several times after system crashes and sometimes after windows updates my pinned tabs have disappeared. How can I back up the pinned tabs and bookmarks??

Firefox stores the bookmarks and the browsing history in the places.sqlite database file..
There are 10 rotating daily JSON backups (bookmarks-####-##-##.json) in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder, one for each day that Firefox is started.

Pinned (App) tabs and tab groups are stored in the sessionstore.js file.
