Windows 10: Update breaks PC again!

So I took a chance at upgrading Windows from 1809 (17763.1339) again! and it broke my sound and Internet. I thought these issues would have been fixed by now? On close inspection the 2 devices that wouldn't start were:

Texas Instruments 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller.

Intel(R) l211 Gigabit Network Connection

I did everything including downloading the newest drivers for the NIC but no joy. I also use a Prism Orpheus audio interface for sound so this rendered it useless. Only downgrading would solve the issue.

Would a fresh install as opposed to upgrading (via windows update) fix these issues?

Windows 10 Pro and Ergnomic Break Reminder

Hi,



Apologies for the late reply.



Do you remember installing any break reminder software?



It looks like it is a pop up from a break reminder software.



I suggest you to look for this in Programs in features and uninstall it if do not use it.



Try the following steps:

• 
  Press Windows + R keys to open Run Command
  
• 
  Type Appwiz.cpl and hit enter
  
• 
  Search for the programs and un-install it.
  

Regards,

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".
