On April 8th, 2019, we were made aware of an issue regarding Windows 7 and 10. Microsoft released three updates that have been “breaking” Windows systems.

After the update, customers are reporting their systems are getting stuck in the middle of the update for hours. Symptoms also include getting hung after logging in as well.

We wanted to let all of our customers know not to install these updates list below. If you have already rebooted your computer, give us a call and we can help you with a work around until Microsoft releases another patch to fix these issues. If you are stuck in the middle of an update, we can help with that as well.

We are working diligently to make sure everyone is taken care of during this stressful time. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach us at 636-464-2400.

Increased RAM Needs- In the above example, the blue circle indicates this computer is using 2.75 GB of memory. The blue arrow points to this computer with 3959 MB Total memory. To convert MB into GB, divide the MB total by 1000, which calculates to 3.9 or 4GB of RAM installed. In this sitution, the computer is only using 2.75 GB of 4 GB total RAM installed. Therefore, memory utilization is within acceptable ranges. If the computer's task manager indicates that nearly 100% of the Total RAM is being used for excessive periods of time, there is a problem that needs to be addressed immediately. For users who primarily create/edit graphics and high quality images, increasing the device's physical RAM is almost a requirement.

Choosing the Right Printer For Your Needs

Every company needs a printer, whether an office tries to become "paperless" or whether the establishment uses reams of paper for making copies, scanning, faxing, and printing documents on a daily basis. Sometimes printers merely need to provide black and white hard copies and other times, printers need to produce colorful, aesthetically appealing pages. Businesses, therefore, need to understand what type of printer (from inkjet to laser, from monochrome to color, from basic to multifunction) best suits their needs for the most cost effective and reliable solution.
