Windows 8.1 Spawing Multiple copies of Sdclt.exe After Upgrade from 8 to 8.1

I have a single user here at work whom we upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1. Since them, Windows Backup (SDCLT.EXE) spawns over and over. I have to go in and TASKKILL it every day and it comes back, either by itself or when the user logs in or reboots.
I've tried many suggestions:

Nothing seems to resolve this problem. My last remedy is to rebuild her PC but I want to avoid that. I can't stop the task from running (says it doesn't exist) nor can I rename it (says I do not have permission.) Any other suggestions?

Hi,
Please check Task Scheduler, make sure Windows Backup was not there. In addition, I noticted that in these three link, you may disable all Winodws startup or service, isn't it? I doubt this problem also can be caused 3rd system backup software.
If problem persists, may be you can try to rename sdclt.exe(C:\Windows\System32) for test. I made a test in our test enviroment, after rename this program, System Image Backup won't be work. Even you run this program manually.
If any unclear or question, please feel free let us know.

I have photoshop 6 on a dead pc laptop with windows XP. Have a pc laptop that has been upgraded from Vista 64 bit (where phootshop 6 wouldn't install) to windows 7 professional 32 bit (clean install). Photoshop still won't install. Also having reinstallation issues with pse6 on this same pc. Pse6 was installed and working on vista 64bit version of the OS, now won't install on rebuilt windows professional 7 32bit (keeps giving me serial number not valid errors). I'm not trying to pirate these programs. Just want to reinstall them.

you need,
Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a, or Windows Millennium
Microsoft Windows 98/Millennium/2000/NT 4.0 (Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a required)

Windows media player stop working after upgraded from firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.

windows media player stop working after upgraded from Firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.
the plugin for win media player is already installed and working fine in FF 6.02 before upgrade. i have Google this issue without any result so far. so i reinstalled the old version 6.02, until fix is found.
anyone has the similar issue with Firefox 7.01 in Win 7 32 bit ?

The issue was not with FF 7.01. VLC player version 1.11.1 is conflicting with windows media player when FF 7.01 tries to play media files! Which was not happening before in FF 6.02.
VLC and plugin media player need to be uninstalled first, then uninstalled FF 6.02. Install FF 7.01 and then win plugin media player again.

Ideally there should not be any impact of OS change, but officially PSE5 is not supported on Win7.
What exactly happens ? Can you see the processes running in Task-manager?

Scanner of HP 8500 A909g does not work after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10

After upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and subsequent upgrade of printer software, the scanner functionality did not work. When I tried to uninstall the printer software I got the message "HP uninstaller has stopped working". After another upgrade of printer software the scanner was still not working. How can I get around this problem? Update:
I followed the instructions for a similar problem with Windows 8 on http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Scan-doesn-t-work-on-Solution-Center-after-migrating-to-Win/td-p/2228367.After this, the scanning seems to work. Not sure whether it is possible to uninstall, though (don't want to try since it is working).

I had the same problem with my Officejet Pro 8600 All-in-One scanner, sfter upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. After uninstalling and then reinstalling the printer driver, the problem is solved. You can look up the model of your printer on HP's support site and download it from there. Apparently, not all printers are compatible with Windows 10. In that case, they recommend you buy a new printer. ;-)

Can't print from IE 8 after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7

My laptop (HP Elitebook 8530w) uses two HP printers: Color LaserJet CP3525x (at work) and Deskjet 6940 (at home). Both printers are accessed across a local network.
I recently upgraded from Vista Enterprise to Windows 7 Enterprise.
Everything still prints fine (from Word, Adobe Reader, Windows Photo Viewer, etc.), except for IE 8! When I try to print a web page from IE, it prints only the page header, and otherwise the sheet is empty. This symptom occurs on both printers. (And of course this worked fine before the upgrade.)
Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

If anyone else is having this problem, I found the solution on another forum (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/920588e5-ccc4-4e24-83d6-606...).
Specifically, the following steps solved the problem:
1. If it doesn't already exist, create a directory named "Low" in your directory "C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\".
2. From a command prompt, issue this command: ICACLS C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\Low /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

Multiple crashes, blue screen, reboots after upgrading to ios 7.1

Hi All.
My iphone 5s 32gb worked perfectly fine until upgraded to ios 7.1.
Now it keeps crashing, rebooting multiple times a day. Sometimes it enters in a rebooting loop.
I´ve tried reseting, restoring, downloading the upgrade and restoring again and again but the problem persists. Very frustrating.
I´ve enter to diagnostics and usage data on mi iphone and there are at leat 100 crash reports.
What should I? Whait for ios 8? Forget Apple products for good?
Thanks.

Thanks for your advice! I don´t live in the US. I can see there are a lot of people having the same issue after upgrading to ios 7.1. Is it possible that my iphone just got broken? I repeat that after the upgrade it worked perfectly fine.
Kind regards.

Windows 7 no longer boots after upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion

I got a late 2011 MacBook Pro, on which I installed Windows 7 with Boot Camp. After I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion, I can no longer boot Windows. If I keep the option button pressed during boot I only get the OS X and recovery options, and if I choose to boot Windows from the system preferences pane, I get a message that says that no bootable device was found. However, I'm sure that the partition is still there, because I can see it in finder and browse the files normally. How can I boot Windows again?

"Easier" in this case as an alternative is defined as repartitioning/reformatting your disk, and restoring from backups (which for most people also means starting from scratch with Boot Camp Assistant and Windows since most users aren't backing that environment up).
What you did is, in my opinion, easier and faster. But if you don't know what you're doing can lead to data loss. But then, by definition, blowing away your disk and starting over with a restored backup begins with data loss!

Problems connecting to the internet after Upgrade from windows 8.1 pro

Cant connect to the internet after upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, what can i do to rectify this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
You can also try to install the older version in compatible mode:
Windows 8.1 Wifi showing "limited" or "No Internet Access"
Solution: revert your network adapter driver back to an older version
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dennis_schnell/archive/2013/08/31/windows-8-1-wifi-showing-quot-limitied-quot-or-quot-no-internet-access-quot.aspx
In addition, disable power management on your network driver:
Open Network and Sharing Center.
Click the Change adapter settings link in the upper left of the navigation pane.
Right click the network connection you want to enable/disable power management support on and click Properties .
Click Configure .
On the Power Management tab, clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box.
If the issue still persists, please upload the event log for our research:
