Sorry. My thread has jumped itself from security to maintenance. Yes, I tried it after the chkdsk c:. It still comes up with the same system restore point errors. I have "hidden" the (.3002) definition that keeps appearing for Windows Defender definitions. Defender has now been updated to .3404...

I ran sfc /scannow and chkdsk c: and had no problems. See attachedpic if details of scans are needed. The only changes I've made to the system (aside from saving normal files or web browsing) were the monthly Windows updates. I didn't see any problem there. I wonder if the two problems are...

The problems are piling up. My system seems to work fine (other than that odd Defender issue), but I just ran the system restore. It failed--on two separate instances. The first time it said it could not copy the registry (I didn't take screenshot). The second says, "System restore failed while...

Thank you, Brink. I saw that option to "hide" when viewing the list of updates. I wasn't sure if there was some kind of problem with the update system. I guess I can try using a restore point prior to noticing the issue. For example, last year or the year before there was a bad Defender...

A definition for Windows Defender was installed as shown: Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB2267602 (Definition 1.193.3002.0) Installation date: ‎3/‎20/‎2015 8:55 PM Installation status: Succeeded Update type: Important Currently Windows Defender is updated (today) to: Definition...

Thanks. I won't be able to do anything with it again for a bit. And there is no chance of him doing it unless I were able to nail down something I could lead him through simply. I will keep looking for a solution. I've used these before: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth sfc /scannow...

I was checking my uncle's laptop (He's clueless.) (2013 Toshiba Satellite Intel i3, 6gb, 750gb HD, Windows 8.1) on Thanksgiving. I was doing basic maintenance. I ran Windows Defender, SFC, CHKDSK. I created restore points and updated some software. All OK. I went to run the Custom Refresh...

Thanks. I tried turning the message off and then back on. The message remains the same even though it "apparently" ran (to completion I guess--I didn't stop it). In the past, after it ran, the message would disappear until the next "valid" delayed run of the Automatic Maintenance. Since you get...

Note: I've restarted the laptop and done sfc /scannow and found no problems. I didn't use my laptop for most of two weeks because my ac/dc adapter bit the dust. I only had some battery power. During that time, "I" performed no maintenance/update tasks. After getting a new adapter, the laptop...

I had my power adapter plugged into my laptop, as normal, but the power indicator light did not come on as normal when I plugged it in before I opened the lid. It works in battery mode when I open the lid. My Toshiba PC Health monitor tells me the battery is "good." I'm using it now and it seems...

Screenshot attached below: Edit: Got the message that this is a BSOD and need to go through the procedure regarding log files. I will try to figure that out. Thanks. Problem: The screen went blue with the unhappy face telling me that my PC had a problem and had to restart. It told me the...

Still testing some devices. But I reinstalled the software and driver. It seems to work now. My question about the software was answered: Just a Broadcom design in software that could use improvement, not an error. Though I do have another question if anyone knows the answer to this: When I use...

Hello, I just installed a Bluetooth USB adapter that is supposed to automatically install the driver in Win 8 when plugged in. This did not happen. It showed the device as unknown and "no driver available." I know my system is updated and scanned for system issues. I was then able to install...

SOLVED: SFC found corrupt files of "Amd64\CNBJ2530.DPB" See my posts above for specific information. Resolved: "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them." (SFC/ scannow) File: "Amd64\CNBJ2530.DPB" of "prncacla.inf." "Package_86_for_KB2769165."...

Thanks for the post. Just a quick note, as I'm not going to have any sleep for Monday ;). I was searching around first for the main reason of I what the issue might be because I once posted on here and the situation was not resolved (totally different issue) here or anywhere else. I used a reset...
