i just updated to Windows 10 and now my firefox, utorrent, filezilla and a few other programs have stopped working because of some port issue.
firefox does nothing.
utorrent says "Listen error".
filezilla says
Status: Connecting to 65.99.237.52:21...Status: Connection attempt failed with "10107".
Error: Could not connect to server
another program i use says "No interent connection or firewall is blocking MM Agent".
i tried to add these programs and port numbers to windows firewall settings but that didnt do anything. then i tried to disablethe windows defender and firewall using "services.msc" but still nothing.
i have also tried by disabling my antivirus(bitdefender)
I was unable to update AVG free due to an error. It said that something was being installed (there wasn't though) and it had to be finished first. I got the same error when trying to uninstall it so I had to use an AVG tool to force remove it from my system (I had this error for days before removing it so a restart did not work). Now I don't have an antivirus on my pc and I get an installation error when trying to install it again. Instead, I tried Panda free this time. Error. So I'm thinking it's not the antivirus, it's something in windows 10 that's malfunctioning but I don't know what.
So, for the past 2 days my pc is displaying an unusual behaviour. Every installer that I download does not work.
Some programs like uTorrent or Dolphin or Hijackthis don't work. I have tried compatibility, I have tried running them as admin. And nothing worked.
Funny thing is, they run normally when I boot my pc in safemode. I have researched throughout the internet and I haven't found a similar problem nor solution.
If I access them through the cmd console, they run normally. Go figure.
Windows 10. while typing a email in outlook I try to open a word document. the machine immediate went into error mode saying there was a power problem and restarting my PC. tried with working word and opening another folder - same result.
I have a desktop PC running Win7 64Bit Ent. It's not actually in use, so nothing is connected. I also have a laptop running Win10 64Bit which I'm using to type this post. I have some audio files on my desktop that I'd like to pull off of there, and put them on my laptop, and then maybe on a cloud. My 1st question: Is it possible to simply use a USB cable between 2 USB 3 ports if I simply power up the desktop with the USB cable connected? Does the USB protocol provide for me to see those HDD's on the desktop via the laptop? I'm quite limited for physical space, and I don't need the desktop to be running permanently, I just need to get these files off of it. If that's NOT a solution, what is the next easiest method?

I've bought a Huawei E3372h modem (with GTmobile simcard) but it doesn't connect. The modem says 'connected' and does recieve/sent KB's but on the window toolbar network logo says 'no internet connection' (yellow triangle mark).
My laptop makes an annoying beeping noise when plugging in the charger or removing it. In Windows 7/8, if you went to your speaker properties and then levels, you could mute PC speaker and that took care of it. Don't see that option anymore.
I updated my sys to windows 10 one month ago. I had a smooth experience on network accessing but now my system internal apps are not connecting to internet(like windows store, Maps, sports, Food & drink etc). But I can able to browse using browsers(browsers are connecting to internet).
We have a new (albeit old) wireless printer (HP Color laserjet CP3525) with a wireless adapter card. Computers running Windows 7 or Windows 8 could see the network and connect. All computers could then print to the printer. None of our computers running Windows 8.1 could see the network. I upgraded one computer to Windows 10. It can now see the printer network but cannot connect.
I recently got this problem. I restored, restore said it didn't complete, but problem is solved. However I have been having repeated connection issues. Not sure if it could be a hard drive failure imminent problem, or due to the forced update/installs Win10 makes me do.
Yesterday I downloaded Windows 10 on my wife's laptop and she immediately lost access to my Brother MFC-8500 printer which she was previously accessing though a wireless network and a router. The Brother is hardwired to the desktop, which was also upgraded to Windows 10, with a USB cord and is listed under printers on the desktop as "Brother MFC-8500 USB." Could you give me the procedure and the syntax for making this printer accessible once again to the laptop? If the syntax requires the desktop's IP address, could you tell me how to find it because the tutorials on the Web still talk about the Control Panel which seems to have been replaced with "Settings."
I was unable to connect to an older (backup) AP in Win10, but Win7 and my phone, tablet etc could connect no problem - these were connecting using WPA-TKIP, but MS now only allows WPA2-AES
So MS have removed the less secure WPA-TKIP protocol from W10 (this apparently started in W8), but they have left the even less secure WEP protocol in place!!!
I have now connected using WEP - on my router you can use a passphrase to create the hex pairs for the key, but you need to enter the actual hex characters as the key (eg 13 hex digit pairs = 26 characters to enter)
Looking at the wlan profile from the command line interface shows what the settings are...
netsh wlan>show profile plusnet2 Profile PlusNet2 on interface Wireless Network Connection 4: ==================================== Applied: All User Profile Profile information ------------------- Version : 1 Type : Wireless LAN Name : PlusNet2 Control options : Connection mode : Connect automatically
Okay, so i finished upgrading to W10 now, and when i plug in my corsair h2100. A wireless headset, Windows keep alerting or something with this wierd sound. It sounds like "damalam" and it is a non stop sound.
The sound is the Windows 10 disconnecting sound. But that's weird. nothing is being disconnected by it self.

Solution : D-Link USB Hub is not currently W10 supported. That's why?
I have two Windows 10 Pro x64 machines - say, A and B - connected into a home network. Both machines have two interactive user accounts registered on them: Admin (member of Administrators) and Bob (member of Users). On both machines user names are exactly the same and account passwords are exactly the same.I don't use HomeGroup file sharing, all sharing is set up using accounts and passwords. Everything works fine with folder sharing.
Now I would like to share a printer. The printer is connected to machine A. I enable sharing for that device and give it share name HP. I also go to the printer security settings and enable everything for Administrators and Users.Now I go to machine B. First, I log in as Admin. I go to Devices and Printers in Control Panel and perform the regular procedure of adding a network printer. At some point I have to enter the name of the printer, so I enter AHP. Without asking for any credentials Windows successfully connects to the remote printer, installs drivers, prints the test page etc. The remote printer appears in Devices and Printers. Everything works as it should.
Then I log out from Admin and log in as Bob on the very same machine B. The first thing that I notice is that for Bob the new printer does not exist in Devices and Printers. This is probably OK, since access to shared network resources depends on per-user credentials.
So, I attempt to "install" this printer for Bob as well. I repeat the same procedure from scratch. this time as Bob: go to Devices and Printers in Control Panel and perform the regular procedure of adding a network printer. Again, at some point I have to enter the name of the printer, so I enter AHP. However, Windows suddenly asks me for credentials to connect to the printer. If I enter Bob's user name and password, Windows refuses connect to the printer, claiming that Bob does not have permission to access it. End of story.
Note that I can work around this problem: I can enter Admin's user name and password when installing the printer for Bob and ask Windows to remember these credentials. Everything will work fine after that, which means that Bob will access that printer as Admin.I don't want to give Bob credentials of Admin to access the network printer. I want Bob to access that printer under Bob's credentials. It works perfectly fine for file sharing. How come it doesn't work for printer sharing?
I'm having an issue with my browser not connecting to my internet. I have no issues connecting to my email, Skype or steam. I just can't connect to webpages like Google. I have recently updated to windows 10 (from windows 7) but for the first day and a half everything was working fine. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling my network drivers and updating them for windows 10. I have tried restarting my router and PC 100 times. I have run multiple virus scans using Malwarebytes v.2.2.0.1024 with no show of infection. I have also tried using the commands to reset my TCPIP and Winsock in cmd (admin). My WiFi on my phone, tablet and laptop work fine.
I do want to mention that the second I updated my network driver for windows 10 all the webpages I had open loaded. But if I tried to open a new webpage it would not load. The message I get says "This webpage is not available. ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" and I sometimes get "This webpage is not available. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" on Google chrome. I get "Server not found" on Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge doesn't even give me a message, just a blank page. Is there anything else that I can try?
I've decided to go back to Windows 7 and that has fixed the problem.
Usually, when installing windows, I'd be prompted to enter a microsoft account during the installation. Now I did it twice today (trying to reinstall on my laptop) and I didn't get prompted to do so. Why ?
I know I can connect to microsoft account afterwards, but I'd prefer to do it during the installation.
I have in the past readily connected two computers directly via an Ethernet crossover cable under Win7 and Win XP but cannot get this to work under Windows 10. No specific messages, just cannot see the alternate device from either notebook. make this happen under Win 10 ?
Ever since i updated my windows 7 to windows 10, i am unable to use any of mobile's Wifi-hotspot to use internet on my laptop which i used to do earlier hassle-free.
Now whenever i try to connect my laptop to a wifi-hotspot of any of my mobile phones the laptop seems to connect with it and also shows 'Internet Access' sometimes (or Limited Access most of the times) but when i try to open any of the websites it doesn't open.
How do i connect my laptop (Win10) to a portable WiFi-Hotspot?
