    Well I just fixed the Adobe Flash problem but the program launch problem persists. From what I've read in the updates, there were 11 of them that were installed June 11th and one of them is an AMD Display update which I think might be the problem. If not, then it has to be one or more the other 10 updates by Microsoft. Their update ID's are the following:

    Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - June 2014 (KB890830)

    Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2957509)

    Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2957189)

    Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2939576)

    Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2800095)

    Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2965788)

    Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2957689)

    Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2957503)

    Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2952664)

    Definition Update for Microsoft Security Essentials - KB2310138 (Definition 1.175.1952.0)

    If any of you know something about these updates, please let me know!

    It's most likely NOT either of these:

    Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - June 2014 (KB890830)
    This is an on demand scan that runs every month with new virus definitions

    Definition Update for Microsoft Security Essentials - KB2310138 (Definition 1.175.1952.0)
    This is the virus definitions for MSE

    Neither would cause issues, I don't think.

    It's most likely the driver update - but lets have a look at the background as well...


    Please follow the Windows Update Posting Instructions and post the requested data
    If the file is too large (8MB compressed), remove the older CBSPersist cab files until the final file is below the limit - you can always post them separately after zipping them. (the forum doesn't allow the upload of bare CAB files, for a number of reasons)


    Also, please upload the C:\Windows\windowsupdate.log file (compressed)

    Just for information.

    Automatic. The version of this tool delivered by Windows Update runs on your computer once a month, in the background. If an infection is found, the tool will display a status report the next time you start your computer. If you would like to run this tool more than once a month, run the version that is available from this Web page or use the version on the Malicious Software Removal Tool Web site.

    Free Malware Removal Tool | Anti-Malware Scan Software

    To me this means that it will run in the background automatically if you have your Windows Updates set to automatic install updates.

    Back to my hole.

    Well the flash player problem occurred again and I think I have no choice but to reinstall Windows on my laptop. I did it before when similar problems were occurring that time. I believe you can reinstall Windows as many times as you want as long as it's on the same computer. If any of you disagree with my option and suggest another option into fixing the problem, please let me know.

    A reinstall will certainly solve almost any issue, except hardware.

    You can do the HP Recovery or get a better system (no HP bloatware) by following this tutorial:
    Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

    There are some caveats though, so read the tutorial and ask any questions before you begin.

    The choice to re-install or continue trouble shooting is your call. It is often the quickest way to resolve an issue. Members will assist you either way.

    re: Windows install. You can reinstall Windows as many times as you like on the same machine.

    Well, I apparently found the problem with Steam and such. It was because the AMD driver was disabled and I found this out by reinstalling it which fixed the issue. I guess I don't have to reinstall Windows to deal with this issue.

    Excellent troubleshooting and thanks for posting your resolution.

    Just so I'm clear and to help anyone with a similar issue looking at your thread, which did you reinstall?
    I suspect it was the AMD driver, but it could have been steam.

    Thanks,

    Bill

    Why the driver of course. I reinstalled Steam many times while the problem was occurring, but it didn't work. Nor did restarting.
