Hi, my laptop starts showing an error in which it get disconnected automatically after sometime it shows cross bar in which no network access is available but it is available as my other devices with wifi works fine. After turning off and on it starts working, its a big issue because I cant do big downloading in it. It has broadcom wifi/bluetooth chip which is played about a month ago.
Please solve this ASAP.


One other problem is windows update keeps over and over again the same 8 updates. What's wrong with my PC?

I use kaspersky Internet Security and scanned, its fine.

1) By turning on and off, you meant laptop or wifi? Anyways delete your connection from saved networks list, reset your network adapter, then connect to wifi again.

2) Personal suggestion, turn the automatic downloading of updates off (notify only), and download it only when a critical update is available.

Yea, wifi problem is fixed but still windows can not update. yes I already set at notify me from the day I am using this PC, but whenever I click on emblum on the left side of shut down in start menu the installation of 8 update takes place for 5 min with 2 reboots, and this cycle happen again and again. :?
And whenever I go to go some change on windows update through control panel it shows some awkward UI:

^What's the big deal in it. Fix it is a troubleshooting software made by MS. Just download it and run it. I'm on mobile so can't give you the link.
