Thanks for the link Cliff S, much as I expected but it is good to cover it again. Steve C, thank you for that also, i have usually used incremental but in future I may well use differential instead. I plan to do one full then a diff and than a full. I have a 500gb esata disc so I should have...

Cliff does that mean a differential backup made using the Reflect Image D could fail or did you mean if I used my own User ID? I'm using the free version. In any case I would only use one full and two incrementals at a time as I don't like long versions anyway. Thanks Mark, noted!

Ah, how did I miss that? Just tired I guess! If I then use my own image ID, starting with Full, then Differential, presumably that ID will continue to be used for all subsequent images?? Thank you strollin and and Cliff S

After many years of using Acronis True Image I'm ditching it as I'm fed up with the scheduler2 problem. I use Win 8.1 Home so I don't have GPEDIT so cannot apply the patch given elsewhere. Anyway, I just managed to restore an image of my C:\ system drive, but what I don't like is the way...

Hi, I use IOBit Start Menu 8, I don't know if that causes the same problem as the MS version. Maybe I will remove it and see.

Once it showed up in my installed updates as successful I just told it to hide KB3000850 to stop it being offered each time. I think it was an optional update anyway.

Thanks topgundcp!

Hmmm. On the basis that it was classed as 'Optional' I think I will let it ride and see what happens! Thanks for all the help Brink, I'm obliged to you.

Not really crashed! I ran Advanced System Care to give the laptop a tune-up but it must have cleared out History even though I had unticked the IE boxes.:( I did three Restores, going back last 3 days, but none of them recovered the History, apart from today's History. I can get into Macrium...

There was no error message, apart from telling me not to turn off computer while it was configuring update, then after a few reboots it said that the update had failed and it was reverting. This applies to every failure to instal this update.

In Installed Updates all I have are two 'copies' of KB3000850 and nothing else. But if I go to Uninstall an Update I have a load of KB's etc. but no KB3000850! I kept checking for updates but there were none offered apart from 3000850 again so I'm not really sure where I'm at! I already tried...

My wife's netbook came a cropper and she has now lost all her History. Luckily, I took a Macrium Reflect image this morning, but I now need to know where the IE History files are kept in Windows 8 (not 8.1). I clicked in Folder Options to show hidden files but according to info I got on the web...

Yes, done that already. When it says there are two successfil updates for the same KB I assume the fault there is in the notification, only one update occurred. Checked updates just now, nothing offered. My wife's netbook is doing similar things, refusing to complete the update so I will...

Well this is weird. I used your 3 Reset fixes in turn, the last one being the 3 in 1. The first two made no difference. The third one did a lot of 'stuff' and I then d/loaded and installed 3000850 again while I was having a meal. I came back to see my desktop showing but Firefox had locked up. I...

I've spent all day trying to get this KB installed. The thing is, even though I'm told it has failed after configuring and reverting back again, when I look in the Installed updates list is says that it was successful. And it offers to download it again for me! I don't use Avast, I use Webroot...

Thank you lparsons21, that did the trick. Wife is happier now!

I just got a new HP Envy Win 8.1. On the l/h side of the screen, below the bottom row of apps is a down arrow. Tat gives me the full list of installed apps and 'added' apps. On my wife's Win 8 system, there doesn't appear to be a similar list. Or I haven't found it yet! I would like to know...

OK got it. I installed Start Menu 8. I assumed that 8.1 included the 'new' Start button.

Since two days ago. I much prefer working from the desktop but I don't see my list of programs when I right click on the Start button. How can I get them to show? Thanks

OK, problem solved! Your query about Crapcleaner reminded me that Advanced System Care had run before this problem occurred I had checked all the settings but saw nothing that would cause it. So, I uninstalled ASC and then I was able to get websites into History. I have also re-installed it and...
