Problem Solving Strategies

I've just looked on a machine I've just installed, and I get a list like this. Yours will be different as it's a different model. Can you post the list of updates it shows:

YouKnowMe

If we start introducing iron filings to a bar magnet, will the pattern begin from the poles and slowly grow to the equatorial region as we bring more and more iron filings? Further, is the pattern limited by the amount of iron filings or in other words, will we cover the entire region around the magnet with iron filings if we have surplus of filings. Thanks. — Guru Vishnu Feb 18 at 10:57

@JohnRennie Hi!

Any inputs here

@YouKnowMe hi

Can you clarify what you are asking?

The pattern appears because each individual particle of iron behaves like a compass needle, so wherever you place it, it will align with the direction of the field at that location.

YouKnowMe

@JohnRennie My question is that if we add more iron fillings, will this pattern remain unchanged.

John Rennie

Mostly unchanged. In principle the presence of the iron does influence the total magnetic field, but as long as the mass of the iron filings is a lot less than the mass of the magnet the change will be small.

@PrateekMourya Just five updates?

Prateek Mourya

Yes

Should i just unistall them?

These some additional updates info

John Rennie

The definition updates are unlikely to be the cause. My guess is that it's one or both of the driver updates.

Click the restart button to complete the updates that are pending, and let's see what it's like after the restart.

There are some pending updates too

Your dogs?

Prateek Mourya

Yes

So much fun to watch them play

Still the same problem

After restarting

John Rennie

This is the list of drivers Dell provides

It would be worth downloading and installing the "Dell Update app". Then run it and let it install any updates needed.

@PrateekMourya how is it going?

I did all things like installing dell update app

Installing the drivers for my model

But none worked

@JohnRennie sorry for late response

John Rennie

I'm afraid I have run out of ideas then.

All I can suggest is you wipe the disk and reinstall, then do an update. Then when the problem recurs remove the updtes one by one until the problem goes away again. That will identify the offending update.

Also I would reset the BIOS to the defaults.

Press F12 at boot to get the boot menu then choose the option "Enter setup"

In the BIOS go to the "Exit" section and choose the "Restore defaults" option then save the settings and exit.

Do this before you reinstall Windows.

So will save lot of time
