Hi all,
Well after finally getting win update working fully by refreshing my win8 on my new HP box, I did more windows updates yesterday. Since then, I've lost the ability to install new apps, control panel crashes from Programs & Features, Devices & Printers, and other various places. All web browsers randomly crash (I'm lucky this one has lasted long enough to type this), I can't print, and I've lost the HP software app that checks for updates and give status on my box.
HP tried to install 3 important updates right before I did the windows updates. They failed (I know one was a BIOS update). I haven't been able to get it to try running again. I've tried going through the HP support site, but can't install anything I download from there.
Unfortunately, the only error refs I have are generic dialogs telling me things failed. Other times, things simply vanish - eg, start a run & install fine and then the dialog closes and nothing else happens. Of the 14 windows updates I did install yesterday, the only system one was KB 2770816. All the others were Office-specific.
This is really insane. Help again? Anyone? Please? Pretty please?
Thanks so much.
