  1. Windows 10 - Windows Installer keeping program from opening


    Since the latest Microsoft updates automatically downloaded, I have had an issue with Quickbooks not opening. I get the Windows Installer b=dialog box "Preparing to Install" and it churns for a few minutes and then t churns for a long time, over 10 minutes or so, and then I get the dialog box that it is unable to install. No matter what I click in that box (retry or cancel) it starts over again. The only way to stop the do loop is to cancel Quickbooks from the Task Manager. I have tried reinstalling and was successful until I got to this same point. I have tried running msiexec/unreg to try to unregister and reinstall the Windows Installer, it "cannot find "misexec/unreg"

    :)

  2. Windows 10 installing progs

    I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to windows 10 from 7. I used the Media Creation Tool from MS website. It took awhile, but I am finally running Windows 10 (12-14).

    I opened the new App & Program feature to remove programs that I no longer needed. Scrolling down the list, I was horrified! Apps that I didn't install somehow magically installed themselves. Two programs stood out: Facebook and Candy Crush Soda Saga. Both programs have those tale-tale icons that they came from Windows Store (which I've never even opened). The install date for both of them were on 12-26.

    Is this a common thing for Windows 10? Or is it because I did an upgrade and not a clean install?

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
