Windows 10: Glary Utilities won't update

Hi, Just used Brink's excellent tutorial, to update my nearly ten years old Dell Inspiron laptop to the latest version of W10, the one they said would "never run W10 in a million years".........to keep laptop in tip-top condition I run Glary Utilities, 4 or 5 times a week.......since the update Glary itself won't update, anyone know why ?......Del.

:)

 

Frequently get error 0x8009002d when signing in with pin

I tried Glary Utilities too, and it seemed to work, but after about two weeks, the error reappeared.

Maybe Glary Utilities never fixed anything?

Maybe Glary Utilities fixes the problem, and Windows Update recreates it?

It does seem like a registry issue, so I am inclined to think it’s the latter.

 

Picture files and Audio files keep getting deleted

Finally found the culprit. It's Glary Utilities, running the Empty Folders Finder and the deleting the empty folders. In the past, it did just that, but now it's deleting the pictures, music and even all my browsers and certain applications.

I've told Glary about this and said I happened to have run Malwarebytes just before running Glary and found no malware.

I have no idea what is wrong with Glary, but won't use it again.

Thanks for all those who tried to help. Hopes this caution helps others.

 

Bloatware, uninstall it.

 

Mmhhh........it would seem that Glary not updating may not be a W10 version update issue after all..........I have just tried to update it on my other laptop, which has been up to date for some time, and it won't update on it either........I wonder if there is a way to FORCE Glary to update ?.........Del.

 

5 times a week is too much, I would say once a week at best and longer really.

You could try uninstalling glary, and fresh installing the latest version.

 

Yes I did wonder about that, thanks........weird really, Glary is telling me I have 1 new software update......itself....but when I click to download it, nothing happens.........I think the W10 version update thing was just a coincidence.........Del.

 

What browser are you using to update this software? Which btw is unnecessary and as stated needs to be uninstalled. If you like it, roll with it.

From what I'm reading from some reviews of the software from cnet........are saying that it's not compatible with chrome and causing it not to run or run correctly.

I use the Edge browser, have done right from the start, never had any problems before.............so is there an alternative to Glary Utilities ?......I know about CCleaner etc. etc........or are they just not needed ?.........if not, then how to get rid of all the rubbish on your system ?.........Del.

 

Most of us stay away from such software, the supposed AIO clean and boost as they tend to do more harm then good. Most of us IT and Tech enthusiasts use: Ccleaner, superantispyware, Adwcleaner, Malwarebytes (Pro), Hitman (Pro) and a few others in some form of combination.

 

O.k. thanks for that, will look into it, I must say that I have always found Glary Utilities jolly useful, and never had any problems with it.........and, it has just updated itself !!.......Del.

 

Most don't and those that do, don't really want to find out what the root cause is and when they're told it's their old reliable AIO software they don't want to hear/believe it. That's just human nature and will try and defend the use of it...again, just human nature.

Those in the know stay away from such snake oil(s).
