  1. I Cannot Update Windows Because Of An App That Isn't On My PC


    I tried updating windows, but it isn't allowing me to because I have VirtualBox installed I don't, I checked my app log, and VirtualBox is absent from there. I deleted my emulators onboard my PC since another similar problem posted by a user was solved in this way. However deleting them failed to remove this issue. I tried checking the batch file logs to see if any files were blocking the update, but there was no easy indication that anything was causing the problem. "DT_ANY_FMC_BlockingApplication" was False when apparently it should have been True, as seen on the guide linked here.

    I then downloaded Windows Powershell as recommended by the second link to try and automatically detect anything that may need to be deleted. The software found 21 instances of VirtualBox on my PC, but their file locations were listed as blank strings. Attempting to try and open any of these file locations returned an error stating that the location cannot be opened since the folder location is an empty string.


    I have attached files of Powershell showing the list of instances of VirtualBox as well as the error message the software is displaying.

    I will be temporarily reinstalling my emulators until I can find a concrete solution to solve my problem. I honestly am completely stuck and have no idea how to solve this :/

    If any more information is needed, let me know.

    :)

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    Cortana isn´t working

    When I hit enter, it did something, but there´s still no Cortana, even after restart. So I tried it again, but now it says that it failed, because it´s already installed and it´s working in PC. So it should work, but Cortana still isn´t here.

    Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    Managed to solve it... here´s how I did it just in case anyone else has the same problem...

    ->Settings

    ->Printers & scanners

    ->Add a printer or scanner

    ->The printer that I want isn´t listed

    ->Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings

    ->Use an existing port: USB001 (Virtual printer port for USB)

    ->Choose printer

    ->Use the driver that is currently installed

    ->Type printer name

    And done... =P
