  1. Scans and driver updates hanging


    Starting yesterday morning roughly my computer has gone on the fritz for whatever reason, I am uncertain what is happening but it started with my Intel network adapter not working, Intel I219-V it no longer has a connection and I have been fighting with it to troubleshoot. My wifi adapter works fine so I know that I have eliminated it being my internet.

    So I moved onto trying to uninstall and reinstalling the driver through the manufacturers website Intel, installer hangs and refuses to finish if I hit close it asks if I want to cancel the installer. No progress is made, I have tried scanning the hard drives for any issues and it also hangs and has no progress, device manager is currently stuck on scanning for plug and play compliant devices. Other programs like AVG disk doctor also hang and make 0 progress in scanning, defragging the harddrives also hangs and makes no progress.

    I currently have 3 applications that refuse to close or make any progress.
    I need help because I am absolutely stumped for the first time in awhile..

  2. touchpad driver update

    Hi Chandrahasan,

    Incompatible device drivers are known to operate against the method that Windows 10 follows. We suggest that you run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to scan your computer, identify the problem, and attempt to fix the issue automatically. To run the
    troubleshooter, follow these steps:

    • Right-click on the Start icon and select Control Panel.
    • Type troubleshooting in the search bar and click on
      Troubleshooting
      .
    • Click on Hardware and Sound > Hardware and Devices.
    • Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.

    If the issue persists, uninstall the touchpad driver, then follow these steps to check if the issue is driver related:

    • Right-click on the name of your PC at the top of the list of devices in
      Device Manager
      .
    • Select Scan for hardware changes to reinstall the device driver, or download and install the latest version from the manufacturer’s website.

    Let us know how it turns out.

    Scans and driver updates hanging

    Windows Update suddenly hangs?

    Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

    I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?
