The first thing I would do is try not using CCleaner every day for a few days at least to see if there is any change in behavior. I am not saying CCleaner is bad because I have used it on occasion for a very specific task but I would never use it every day. As for Temp Files, windows has a...

There are several built-in diagnostic tools in W-8.1, look under Control Panel/Administrative tools. I would start there first.

I wouldn't overlook the possibility of hardware issue. Run disk and memory diagnostics and make sure you don't have a over-heating problem. With SFC coming up clean I think the Windows OS is likely OK so I would take a little time to look elsewhere before a clean install because you can...

If you were to enable the Built-in Administrator you will have full access and can delete anything you desire. Follow the tutorial. http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/9650-built-administrator-account-enable-disable-windows-8-a.html

Yes! When I exercised that function on one of my machines last year everything was returned to as before with all files intact but when it boots up to the previous OS it will be ready to upgrade to W-10 once again so you need to be ready to react to that and cancel or block any upgrade. I had...

There should be a recovery option in W-10 to roll back to your previous OS.

First thing I would do is run Sfc /scannow from Adm Command Prompt. If it finishes with no errors get back. If any errors run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth from Adm Command Prompt. If it says errors repaired run Sfc /scannow andGet back with results.

Most likely it is the remnants of something that was uninstalled. I have had this happen before when uninstalling software via Programs & Features or the software's own uninstall feature. Many times the uninstall leaves some bits behind unless you use a dedicated uninstall program like REVO...

KB3103709 is gone from my PC's as well. Never installed. I hid the update, just now Restored it, checked for updates and it was gone. I too wonder what that was all about??????????????????

At this point I am I am treating update KB3103709 as malicious. Lacking any information from M$ as to the validity and/or purpose of this update, KB3103709 will not be installed. After M$ included W-10 Upgrade BS in a critical IE update I don't believe you can trust M$ when it comes to...

I am still holding off on those two updates. They are optional so it can't be anything that important. The days of trusting M$ are long gone.

I think you are correct. In that case, my primary PC which I removed the recent update is currently on 11.0.28 but my laptop which has the Cumulative update installed is on 11.0.29 but I have not seen any issues on the laptop this afternoon.

I had the recent Cumulative IE11 Update installed for a couple of days then uninstalled upon finding out it also included some W-10 BS but I can't say it caused any issues cause I had it for just a couple of days. It is still installed on my laptop but I don't use it much so I can't really say...

If you follow the instructions in the Tutorial and Enable the built-in Administrator Acct. you should be able to do anything you want with the device. http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/9650-built-administrator-account-enable-disable-windows-8-a.html

I know there is a way to deal with your issue in one or more of the Tutorials on this forum. Look for Tutorials in the banner at the top of the page. I will be looking as well. Although not the best option but you could let W-10 install and NOT Accept the Service/User/EULA Agreement at it...

What's the possibility that you might have a Restore Point that you could go back to. Even if one was not created before the Registry Cleaning there could still be one from some point in the past. Also, many Registry Cleaners automatically create a Restore Point as a part of their operation.

Along with the other suggestions you should immediately backup everything on your PC including creating a backup image of your PC with a program like Macrium Reflect (Free) just in case you run into problems.

I don't think I would worry too much about KB3044374 if you cannot uninstall it. Update KB3035583 (GWX Get Windows Ten) is by far the primary mechanism for getting W-10 on your machine. Without that installed and having your Updates set to Not Install Anything Automatically should keep you...

Just curious, is this update causing problems. KB3044374 was initially released April of 2015 when I installed on 4/11/15 as an optional update but this one anyway has not caused any problems that I can tell. I avoided or uninstalled many of the updates that even remotely had anything to do...
