Windows 10: SOLVED - Update killed wifi and install in background

So I noticed after the anniversary update my HP 23_p114 all in one has no wifi anymore. I disconnect the Ethernet cable and it shows no option to connect via wifi. The device manager doesn't show it either. I tried reinstalling drivers but to no avail. Any thoughts?

It also has decided that I am trying to install office when I already have it installed. When I try to install or uninstall anything it give me an error about the user has started an install, would I like to continue (which does nothing) or abort. Thoughts on that one?

This auto update thing is slowly breaking my machine and it makes me sad *Sad

Thanks everyone, I can give more details once I home if need be...

Windows 10 - Screen cycles, refreshes Desktop, Taskbar, stops and back again

I was having this problem, too (with a month-old build of the technical preview). I couldn't run updates for some reason, so I booted in safe mode (with networking), which resolved the screen cycling, but I couldn't install updates since my internet connection
is through a USB adapter, and I then couldn't see the available WiFi network.

I eventually resolved the solution by killing background process in the task manager while the desktop/taskbar were cycling endlessly. It ended up being caused by iCloud photos, which at the time was complaining about not having permissions to access the
Downloads folder. Killing it seemed to solve the problem for me.

 

Restart after update Asus Support Device

for those who cannot get rid of the problem and cant install anything on laptop. Just go to task manager and kill the windows installer processes (and background processes). This will solve the problem of not able to install anything

 

WiFi can be disabled via BIOS, check if it is enabled there.

Laptops also have a key, which enables or disabled WiFi ASAP.
Make sure, you have the latest chipset drivers installed as well.

Not sure what I did.....

I shut it completely down, unplugged the power and let it sit (I wanted it to think about what it has done lol) plugged it back in and started it up.....now everything is working as it should. Weird!

Anyway thanks *Smile
