Internet Explorer Not Running - Windows Updates Will Not Apply
Oct 14, 2015
I had changed the system variables in order to change the default install drive. My C drive is an SSD and I didn't want Adobe hashing up my SSD if it wasn't necessary. Everything seemed to be working well, but windows update will not apply updates and internet explorer (and some other) software will not run. Possibly due to the system variables, but I am unsure what to change or if that is even at fault.

Here are my environment variables

Here are my registry settings for the program files folder. I changed it from C to E.

I need to be able to update, and IE has to be used occasionally. (I exclusively use chrome so I hadn't really noticed that IE wasn't working.)

I want to set my Explorer to have certain sortable columns when I open my folders. I have been able to do this will 7 and 8.1
I can change the sort columns, but where is the "Apply to all folder of this type" button?
Can't find how to make those columns the default.

Previously I had an update which windows kept on updating and undoing the update for some reason. After which i tried to find for a solution online and somehow deleted the entire of the Software Distribution folder located in the C:Windows folder.
Right now my windows update is unable to find any updates at all as it is forever on the "Checking for updates" section. I've tried using the command prompt to scan the SFC ("sfc /scannow") and also the re-creation of the SystemDistribution folder through stopping the service, deleting it and then starting it again... but it's still the same.

I am on Win 10 and can only access the internet with Firefox. When I try to connect with Edge I get the error message "Hmmm, we can't reach this page" and if I try through Internet Explorer I get "This page can’t be displayed". Chrome seems to work along with Firefox, but both will freeze quite often.

I am facing too many problems with win 10.
1) cant connect to internet for updates while im connected. I tried everything but stills. I have access to wifi internet from chrome or other programs but not for windows features like cortana, updates or edge. I uninstall eset, i turned of the firewall but the problem stills. I tried also windows live support but it keeps telling me that im not connected!!! (after several tries i found that the microsoft edge can work every time I am disconnected and connect again in my wifi as new- private network. but i have to do this manually cause every time i restart pc the connection goes from private to guest network!! strange. but no luck with windows updates . )
2) I was trying to add a printer and i had the message that the printer spooler don't work! i tried 3 different ways but nothing. it cant start.
3) Then I thought the best thing to do is to make a reset of windows and reinstall. I cant do this also!! its says that there is a problem due to wdf_violation!!

I just recently updated to windows 10 and it seems I have a little bit of a security issue. After updating I saw that someone was controlling my PC and then opened notepad and started typing to me telling me I should get antivirus. I'm thinking of starting my PC without internet and installing an antivirus and running a scan.

Ever since I loaded Windows 10 my internet is running slow and I continuously receive either a "recover webpage" message or "stop script" message. I am on IE 11. I tried the new Microsoft Edge but it seemed to run slower than IE. Does any kind of update need to be done to my wireless router. It is a Netgear N750 model #WNDR4300.

This one is aggravating. File Explorer keeps loading at startup. The client can't say for certain if the issue was present before or after upgrading from Win7. This wasn't the primary issue- there was malware present on the system. I have run Adwcleaner, Malwarebytes, TDSSKiller, Rogue Killer, and aswMBR scanner. System is returning clean logs now.
I also installed Revo Uninstaller and removed Adobe Acrobat DC and CutePDF, as I've read that Adobe will cause this issue, and since there were 2 PDF viewers install I suspected some conflict.
I have tried using regedit, but the two suggestions I found from Microsoft- the reg entries don't exist for win10

Since the update reboot Outlook is running in safe mode and though the reading panel is correctly set up it is closed every time Outlook is restarted. Add ones are all missing. How to sort it short of removing all the updates. I have run a repair install and SFC /SCANNOW with no problems or change.

I just noticed in the Task Manager a while ago that "Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Host Process" under "Background Processes" was running at about 50% of CPU constantly. I did some research and found out that this only seems to happen when Windows Media Player is running. It seems to happen even when Windows Media Player is not doing anything, when it's not even scanning for new media. When I close Windows Media Player, the "Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Host Process" CPU usage drops immediately to 0%.

Not sure if it's just me, but for some reason, since the Jan 12 patch Tuesday, I no longer see definition updates for Windows Defender on Windows Update's "View your update history" page.
I, for one, am happy about this change, since those "Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB2267602" were clogging up the update history page.

A friend that has a 64 bit version of Windows 10. He likes Internet Explorer better than Edge. I have set Internet Explorer as the default browser. In the search bar I typed in Internet Explorer and put a link in the taskbar.
This works fine with my personal computer but on his computer it continuously has a message open that says Internet Explorer has stopped working. Wants you to close the box.
Here are the things I've done:
1, Went in to Internet Properties and reset Internet Explorer. I did this through the control panel. Reset everything. No success.
2. Went in to Windows Features. Unchecked and then rechecked the Box that lists Windows 11. Restarted the computer. That was
supposed to correct it. No success
3. Looked in Add/Remove programs and found no listing either in programs or windows updates.. Nothing.
If I do a system refresh will this correct the problem. I see I would have to reinstall Office 2010. Not sure my friend can find his copy. Is there not a way to just download Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows 10 and over right what is there.

I know a clean install of Windows 10 gives you the Edge browser, but what happens to IE 11 if you upgrade from Windows 7 or 8.1 to Windows 10? Does the upgrade keep your previous version of Internet Explorer and give you the Edge browser or is the previous browser removed?
I have an app that requires ActiveX and on a fresh install of Windows 10 I was able to download IE 11 and access both browsers. It would be nice if the Internet Explorer instance is left installed on an upgrade.

I cant seem to run MS Windows and Office auto updates (or manual).
keep getting the following message
'Updates are available, but we temporarily need 489.48 MB-489.48 MB of space to download. Remove some things you don't need right now and we'll try again.'
There is currently 10.6GB of free space on the system partition.
I have just (on Friday 20 Feb 2016) installed the Windows 10 upgrade from the MS site.
Took 6/7 attempts to finally get it done.
HDMI driver not working
Audio not working properly (keeps saying USB Audio playback default) I don't have anything plugged in. I have a realtek HD Audio installed.
Wifi is very flaky.....keeps disconnecting or reporting limited connection intermittently......15/20 times a day.
Running virgin Superhub, with 150mb pipe,
everything was working perfectly prior to the Upgrade from windows 7 sp1 to Windows 10.

I cleaned installed Win10 Pro using the Media Creation Tool and how come I only got 3 updates? I am assuming I would get more updates than these.
Running version 1511 build 10586
Is it because Win10 is too new ???
And I kept pressing the Check for Updates button and it said no more new updates.

I managed to see my friends Windows 10, Home edition, manage to get another problem now.
I did try to change the default browser i.e. change Windows Edge to Internet explorer.
However when I clicked on change browser, internet explorer was chosen, nothing seem to have changed, all I seen was edge browser.
There was no IE11 in the open All Apps.
When I went to Microsoft webpage to download internet explorer 11 a message said I have the latest Internet explorer installed.... still cant get internet explorer to become default web browser.
