I don't even have Chrome installed. as this is a clear sign of an attempt to inject Malware. Even if I had Chrome installed, I'd never consider updating through such popups.
Take this as a warning, following such links will indeed install Mal-ware on your machine.
After I upgraded my Samsung laptop from Win 8.1 to Win 10, Chrome and Firefox have stopped working. Only the browser EDGE bundled with Win 10 is working.
I upgraded to Windows 10! When ever I try to just simply search something in Google Chrome is search's for a minute then gives me the error WEBSITE UNAVAILABLE ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED I couldn't even search up what that meant! I only got here because it was a favorites tab.
Same thing happens on Firefox too, takes an hour to load up what I searched and gives me an error, tried Microsoft Edge and it also wouldn't load any search results. I looked around on my phone but no one really has this problem. It can't be my Wi-Fi because it is fine on every other device. What could it possibly be? I can't uninstall Chrome because how would I get it back if nothing else works?!
Things I have tried: unchecking compatibility mode checking use hardware acceleration (in chrome settings) unchecking use hardware acceleration running as admin clearing all history and cache (in both browsers) running ccleaner for both browsers trying a different network restarting my computer all have not worked
We just updated our laptop to windows 10. The browsers edge/chrome/firefox hang up when tried to type in address bar or search window. mouse click works, but try typing and the browsers freeze, In Internet explorer typing in address bar works but cannot type in search box like google or any email login page like gmail, yahoo. Update went fine. Our PC does not have touch screen
A long time ago I got a windows key through my workplace which I used on my home computer.. I know it's a valid key as I ran the genuine software test.
I also have Service pack one and it says that I have windows 7 professional -- so I know it's not enterprise.
But still I don't have any update popups.. and when I tried to run the manual installer I just got a "something happened 0x80070002 - 0x20016" and the program shuts down.what's wrong?
after upgrading my laptop to Windows 10 I am unable to access specific webpages. Some examples are Amazon.com, Chase.com, Cox.com. I've tried updating the network adapters, setting the DNS properties for ipv4 to manual DNS with 8.8.8.8 and alt DNS 8.8.8.4, I've tried using a windows repair to scan for issues with the registry, I've tried disabling admin approval, firewalls, and antivirus.
I'm at a loss as to why only a select few of websites I can't reach. I live with 4 roommates who each have laptops and are able to access all the mentioned websites no problem using chrome, IE, and Safari. We can all also use our smartphones to access these websites using the same wifi as my laptop with no issues.
I have removed it numerous times by uninstalling the KB3035583 update but it keeps coming back like a bad penny. I made the decision last year to go with Apple when this PC dies but things like this make think I shouldn't wait. I just can't afford toi do it right now. Is there a way to get this damn popup out of my system?
I upgraded from 8.1 to 10. Eudora 7 worked fine in 8. However, the problem I'm having is when I click on a hyperlink within a post, a pop-up window appears telling me, "you'll need a new app to open this program." Opening the link within the popup, takes me to the Store where a message says, "Your search for "about" had no results.
I am new to windows 10. I had inadvertently had ASK tool bar on the Firefox page - I requested that someone change it to google which happened and now every time I go into firefox a pop up message says: "Firefox homepage notification" Your home page has been changed by another application. 2 options appear. 1. revert to my previous home page 2. Continue with the new home page. How do I get rid of the pop up and keep google home page. I am using a PC.
As I am in Network administrator in some organization having 50 computers. I want to know is there any way that I can send a Popup message in windows10 like we used in win98/XP via netsend ?
I uninstalled avast after i installed Windows 10. Now everytime I boot up I get an avast popup wanting me to update avast. How can I get rid of this popup. I scanned my computer and got one Trojan and deleted it. Popup continues.
Any popup like games, app reduce sound close to 0, I set it and it when something like a program opening or a game pop up, message almost silences the sound.
Just wondering if this is normal behaviour for windows 10 does not happen all the time just once in a while. I get a little popup like the one when you have a display driver crash. asking to verify user and brings up box to put pin or password in. is this normal
Windows 10. If I grab a window to move it there is a popup overlay that appears near where I've clicked which seems to intend to make it easy to snap to the sides of the monitor. Usually I don't want to snap a window I'm dragging to one of these areas and usually this popup is where I want to drag the window and is getting in the way and preventing me from positioning windows where I want.
I've attempted to turn off "snap" or "aerosnap" in the System>Multitasking area, however if I turn off snap completely it prevents the shortcut keys (windows/arrow keys) from working correctly which I use a lot. If I disable snap completely it still does not disable this overlay popup as per the image.
When scrolling using the lower arrow in a maximized browser window, occasionally I hit the clock causing the massive pop-up. I can change the clock to the Win32 one and I can find much on disabling the Windows 8 Charms, but nothing on disabling the 'click-to-show' clock pop-up.
I'm happy to retain right/click 'Adjust time/date' function for when I purposely click it.
I suppose I could resize the scrollbar properties to have a bigger button but I think this would throw a lot of websites out of whack and I'm not quite ready to accept it's time for the geriatrics home just yet - I believe my fine motor skills are still just that. Maybe it's lazy pointer control, but the amount of times I hit it is getting frustrating.
I have followed the advice a number of times by going to Internet Options> Security tab>scroll down to display mixed content> enable, apply, and reboot.
How do I get Edge to stop with the constant barrage of pop-up tips showing the "make a note" feature and "reading" tips? If I wanted to use these I would use them! What do I need to do? Do I need to stop using Edge and use Chrome instead???
Since I downloaded win 10, every time I click on a link to an internet site, I get a pop-up box asking which app to use to open the link: IE, Edge or another app. There is a box to check "always use" the answer I give, which for me is IE. I am only using the desktop and IE 11 on the desktop. Checking the box to always use IE does nothing. I have a new Dell Inspirion which came loaded with win 8.1
When in full blown tablet mode (physical type cover completely removed), sometimes I want to initiate the on-screen keyboard to popup, but there is no keyboard icon in the "systray" area. But I can see the keyboard icon in the systray area when I'm in desktop mode.
Is there a way I can have the keyboard icon visible/accessible from within tablet mode??
