After Automatic Update - WiFi Doesn't Work
Nov 12, 2015
Laptop: HP-Pavilion Dv6-6c40ca
OS: Windows 10 (free upgrade)
Wireless adapter: Broadcom 802.11n (BCM9413HMGB)
I did the free upgrade from Windows 7 to windows 10 three weeks ago. It was a clean wipe/install and everything worked fine. I had working WiFi for three weeks.
Then I noticed windows updating itself when I powered-off the other night. The next morning my wifi was knocked out. Thew wifi symbol is still there, it just has a red circle with an x in it now. It doesn't show any networks. My other devices can 'see' over a dozen networks and can connect to my home network without issue.
Things tried:
-Uninstall/reinstall driver and restart
-"Roll Back Driver" and restart
-Download and install the latest driver from HP and restart
-Tried this solution to a tangentically related problem (that of people losing their WiFi directly after upgrading to windows 10)
Thoughts:
-the driver is very old (2012). the one from HP was uploaded in 2015 but when I click on the info I see it is issued in 2012
-Attempts to find the driver directly from Broadcom result here but these are all for Linux.. I am sure that Broadcom has windows drivers too, but how to find them?
(not sure how to link directly to image hosted on Google Drive. So this link is to a ss of my wireless adapters driver page in device manager) [URL]....

I'm assuming the "Set time zone automatically" doesn't work?

Windows 10 went wrong Again! First I lost all my favorites, then my Computer experienced exceptions (what ever they are?) followed by random Crashes.
So I did a clean install using my ISO disc and tried to Install Page Plus X4 which was working fine before but it won't work now, even though I installed the latest patch.
I get told its an incompatible Programme, even though it worked OK before I did a clean install, with a note that says that Microsoft are looking for a Solution (you could have fooled me!) also I did the bit about using the Settings that worked on a Previous Programme but that didn't fix it either.
Also uninstalled and re installed the Programme but that didn't work either as did installing net framework.
Also when I get new emails, I am no longer getting advised of any new emails, so I have to keep checking my email box myself.
I looks like I may have to do yet another Clean Install.
I've tried turning off the Automatic Updates but that doesn't seem to work (maybe I'm doing it wrong, so how do I do that).

We couldn't get online to download your updates. We'll try again later, or you can check now. If it still doesn't work, make sure you're connected to the Internet.
have tried to search online, but no one lately has posted the same problem, this started 2 days after installment.

My wireless HP keyboard Sleep function used to work perfectly before Windows 10 install. Simply used to hit the Sleep button to close down, and then again to reactivate the computer. Since installing Windows 10 it works to shut down, but does not reawaken the system. Very annoying - I don't want to have to open my laptop and hit the Power button every time, how to resolve.

I updated to Windows 10 this morning, and after doing so realized that my side scrolling on my mouse pad (I'm on a laptop) doesn't work anymore. Googled, found out it was a driver issue, and went to download the correct driver.
However, acer aspire drivers don't have the touchpad driver updated for Windows 10 yet. Do I have to wait until the driver comes out to fix this issue? If so, how long that could take? (They have the important drivers updated already, those for bluetooth and wifi)

Updated to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 two weeks ago.
Had problems with Firefox. Tried to download to replace existing Firefox. CNET site appeared to be correct but something seemed wrong so I killed the download. But.
- The windows start menu doesn't come up when I click on the icon, but if I right-click, a text menu does appear and lets me, for example, shut down.
.- If I click on the Windows End icon in the task bar, the screen flashes but End does not come up. Ditto for the Windows Store icon.
- Somewhere SpyBot S&D was erased, but I was able to download it.
- If I double-click on a photo in Windows Explorer, I get a popup that lists the name of the jpeg and says Invalid Entry to Registry. If I right click on the photo and go to any of the options the photo is opened except if I choose Photo.
- Firefox cannot properly display the Yahoo mail page, though Pale Moon and Opera can.
- I have Avast Anti-Virus and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and when I run their scans, they find no issues.

For the past few days I have been having the issue were an update keeps failing in windows 10 so every time it re downloads the update it tells me that my pc is going to restart in about 10 minutes regardless of what I am doing and this is about at least 3 times a dat and it is extremely annoying.
The update is a thing called "microsoft malicious software removal tool" and windows wont let me disable automatic restarts or automatic updates and i dont even need this "update" because its just a virus removal tool which I don't need but windows wont let me cancel the update.

Since upgrading to w10 from 8.1, automatic shutdown from task scheduler won't work. After googling i can't find a solution.
It is saying "one or more of the specified arguments are invalid" which is strange as it worked in 8.1, all i have in the argument box is /s.

I'm aware that automatic updates via windows update cannot be disabled in windows 10 Home - does that apply to the store also.
In my Surface 3 (updated to win 10) the option to disable store updates automatically is greyed out with a message to contact my administrator (which is me!)
(I also have another win10 VM running pro where the option is not greyed out)

I had the upgrade to windows 10 icon in the bottom of my screen like a lot of others. But when it was time to upgrade I didn't want to because I am a gamer and don't want to upgrade before I know everything is safe (all drivers headset, gpu, mobo everything) but I clicked continue so I could accept all the conditions and such. But now it is going to upgrade automatically....

I am wondering if Windows 10 will automatically create restore points before installing forced updates. If not, will we be notified about these updates before hand so we can make restore points manually? In previous editions of Windows, we were often offered optional or recommended updates. Will such updates be forced or not offered any more?

Yesterday morning after booting my computer, I experience the "your start menu isn't working" bug. I contacted Microsoft support and they still do not have a fix for this well-known failure. I checked my Update History and saw that an automatic update had been installed. Restoring from my last restore point resolved the problem. The culprit was "Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3140741)".

on a no-problem notebook of a Relative, win ran an update last night at 4 and came up with this:Most App-Links are gone, Apps still there.But Firefox, Outlook and others seem completely reset as if freshly installed, no accounts set f.e.Win demands hardware driver installation for Wifi.And a bunch of personal files on the Desktop are gone.

1) I disabled Windows Update in Services to avoid having to deal with the updates. Later I put it on "manual" instead of "disabled". Today I find that my computer is "installing updates" WITHOUT a) my permission and b) without notifying me that there were updates to install. This thrashed my hard drive with near constant 100% usage from something called Windows Modules Installer Worker. I killed the process, rebooted after some Adobe Reader issue (unrelated....I think). Upon selecting "restart" Windows informs me that it is updating my system WITHOUT my permission. It continues, updates, says finished, restarts to 0%, finishes, reboots.
Upon restart--which takes FOREVER by the way without the "updating" message, when it used to only take a few seconds to boot up--I go to Services where I find Windows Update is set on "running". Even though I manually stopped it, and set it to "manual trigger" start....
2) After restart when I am in Services to kill Windows Update and set to manual--again--I see something called Update Agent, set to run automatically. I do not remember this service from before, and what it does different from Windows Update. I set it on manual as well.
What does Update Agent do differently from Windows Update? They are listed as separate services
What happened to make my computer update without my consent??

I've just installed Wiondows 10 Insider Preview Build 14279 and I've noticed a problem.
It's unable to save my WiFi password, I need to write it again every time I turn on Windows, even if I check the option "connect automatically".
How can I solve this problem? It was working well before, with my "regular" Windows 10 ....

I've been trying to make a PE image and it is working fine. I can add programs (Macrium, PaleMoon, Explorer++) and it works fine in VM (through virtual Ethernet). It also works booting it from USB.
What I can't do is make WiFi work when booting from USB. I need this as I don't have Ethernet at all on my laptop.
I've tried adding the various drivers but can't get it to work.
This is what I have done so far for WiFi:
Code:
# Add any device drivers (.inf files) - this folder contains BroadcomWirelessWin8x64
Dism /Add-Driver /Image:"$WorkDirmount" /Driver:"$HomeDirDrivers" /recurse
# For Wifi - http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/162453-winpe-40-enable-wireless-support/
Dism /Add-Driver /Image:"$WorkDirmount" /Driver:"$env:SystemRootInf
etnwifi.inf"
Dism /Add-Driver /Image:"$WorkDirmount" /Driver:"$env:SystemRootInf
[code]....

Just did a clean install on 10 and was researching another problem that required the run box but mine doesn't seem to work.
I get a response that 'it didn't open in a timely manner'.
