Re: [W8.1Upd3 x64] Error Installing Software that uses a Driver
Honestly, I feel my eyes crossed :doh: when I try to check each one of your services.
I'd appreciate if someone with windows 8.1 would jump in and will compare its services with yours.
Open ccleaner, tools, startup, and see if there are disabled entries.
Open windows task manager, start-up tab, check if there are disabled entries.
If you find something disabled, try to enable it and see if msconfig in the general tab shows "normal boot".
Otherwise, if you didn't already have them, create a system image, a new windows restore point and create a copy of your important files on another disk.
The following operations shouldn't be so risky, but I think it's better to have those "parachutes". Do you agree?
Then:
- download tweaking.com - windows repair portable (click) (current version 4.0.10)
- unzip it
- click repair_windows.exe
- click reboot to safe mode
- when in safe mode, re-open the program
- click repair - main tab
- click open repairs
- untick the first checkbox (all repairs)
- tick only the 26th checkbox (set windows services to default startup)
- finally click start repairs and wait till it finishes
