Will The New Windows 8 Start Button Confuse Users?

Now that PC users have the chance to upgrade to the Windows 8 interface, there is a great deal of debate going on about Microsoft’s new operating system.

Why Did Windows Update Stop Working?

Today we are going to talk about what to do if Windows Update does not work. As you know, Windows update is an important tool in keeping hackers out of your computer. This tool maintains a safe and stable operating system and patches many parts of the Windows operating system. The patches are usually rolled out on “patch Tuesday” which is the second Tuesday of every month. In addition, the tool also updates some other components such as Net Framework and Silverlight. In the past, we have seen many issues related to the Net Framework updates. There are times when these updates have duplicated them selves and tried to install several times. In addition, I have seen some computers have problems after installing some .net framework updates. I personally stay away from most of them. . Net is very difficult to repair if it gets corrupted.

Even with all these improvements, wireless can still pose problems with occasional to frequent disconnects which can be irritating at best.
