Issue

I have problems in Windows after installing new software.

Cause

After installing any utility, driver, or other software program you can encounter an almost endless list of issues that can be caused by any of the below reasons.

1. Confliction with other software installed on the computer.
2. Issue with program.
3. Improper installation or problems with installation.

Solution

Reinstall or uninstall the program

If you're encountering problems with your computer or other programs after installing new software on your computer, uninstall the program and see if the issues persist.

Uninstalling Windows software.

After the program has been uninstalled try installing the program again.

Note: If after installing a program you're unable to boot into Windows, try booting into Safe Mode.

Check for software program updates or new versions

If you continue to experience issues verify that the program, game, or utility you're installing doesn't have any updates by visiting the developer of the program website.

If you're installing a software program or drivers for a hardware device such as a printer. Get the latest software and drivers from the manufacturer instead of using the included software. A listing of links to drivers can be found on our drivers page.
