Why Did Windows Update Stop Working?

Today we are going to talk about what to do if Windows Update does not work. As you know, Windows update is an important tool in keeping hackers out of your computer. This tool maintains a safe and stable operating system and patches many parts of the Windows operating system. The patches are usually rolled out on “patch Tuesday” which is the second Tuesday of every month. In addition, the tool also updates some other components such as Net Framework and Silverlight. In the past, we have seen many issues related to the Net Framework updates. There are times when these updates have duplicated them selves and tried to install several times. In addition, I have seen some computers have problems after installing some .net framework updates. I personally stay away from most of them. . Net is very difficult to repair if it gets corrupted.

What Causes Wireless Internet Disconnects?

Today we are going to talk about wireless and why it occasionally disconnects. Wifi connections have made a huge impact on our lives and the way we do things around the home and office. It allows us to take our laptops, phones and tablets almost anywhere and allows us to work in places such as our deck or back porch. We no longer need to run long sections of cat 5 cables through the house or office to get an Internet connection. In recent years, wireless has achieved faster speeds and a longer operating range. Even with all these improvements, wireless can still pose problems with occasional to frequent disconnects which can be irritating at best.

Is Cloud Storage Secure?

Today we are going to talk about cloud storage. More and more people are looking to cloud storage to keep their files safe. There are a ton of file storage options out there including Drop Box, Sky Drive, Sugar Sync and more. These services are great for sharing pictures and some files that do not have any personal information in them. In addition, you should never rely on just cloud storage to save your files. We have seen companies go under or even be shut down by the government for various reasons. In most cases if this happens, you will never get access to your files or pictures.
