New Windows updates screw up Win 7 installations ?

Catfish · 08-25-15, 04:07 PM

Since this Win 10 update icon appeared, i had too much problems to describe, simple as that. Running Win 7 64 bit here, legal copy, activated and all. If you can call this sorry state "running".

Some of the stuff:

- Some Internet do not open with Internet Explorer 11, including just of all MS's own help and service pages.
- Java does not seen to work with IE11, but inconsistently, sometimes it does, sometimes not.
- Uninstalling IE11 in Win 7 not possible, you can only decativate it. Reactivating gives you the same old problems.
- Internet with IE11 is unbelievably slow, sometimes slow or no reaction to inputs
(- Internet no problem with Firefox or other browsers)
- USB WLAN not working after update, fallback to prior installation possible, but rest of the problems are of course still there
- Updating MS sec. essentials not possible anymore, stops with errors.
- Media player 12 not working anymore
- Cannot hear/see music/videos, cannot be opened with media player sometimes due to admin authorisation (i never changed anything, usr is admin), sometimes due to file type (can open some mp4s, but not other mp4s, some mp3s cannot be opened as well, Player cannot play cda files from bought Ausio CDs)

This is around 10 percent of problems, Office got its own.

I have an MSCE and several MCPs, have contact to all kinds of forums, but no help possible. Happens every 6 monzths roughly.

I give up, sick and tired of this. Re-install will be better and easier, at least for some time.
I guess i will switch to another OS sooner or later.
