Eos wont start windows

You can take a look at the battery poles where the cables connect. If there appears to be green or white corrosion all around it, cleaning them may help get you back on the road. If your battery no longer has enough charge to turn the starter, your Eos will not start.

You can take your battery up to the local parts store, or even Wal-Mart, and have it tested to see if it is still holding a charge.

A bad alternator can cause your battery to lose enough charge to start your Eos. When a starter goes bad, they will usually not give you much warning first. Also, if you are stuck somewhere and are trying to start your Eos, the old beat the starter with a hammer trick is not a wives tale. It really can get that one last start out of it. There are a lot of issues that can cause your Eos to crank, but not start.

The engine needs air, fuel, and a spark in order to run. It is highly likely that if the engine is cranking, but not starting that it has thrown an OBDII code. It is definitely worth it to use an OBDII scanner to check and see if the engine has thrown any trouble codes.

These codes will tell you what the computer is saying is wrong with your engine. By looking them up on this site, or just Googling them in general will lead you to a detailed diagnosis of that code. Without the proper amount of fuel getting into the combustion chamber, the Eos will crank, but not start. View solution in original post. EOS utility defaults to launching automatically when Windows starts. I set it so it no longer launches automatically at startup; to do this hit ctrl alt del to launch task manager, select the startup tab, and set EOS utility to disabled.

Once you have manually done this once during a Windows session you can connect and disconnect your camera or other cameras and it will automatically work without further input from you. I have been doing this for about 6 weeks after the problem started after one of the many forced updates from MS; Microsoft MAY have corrected this problem with one of their later updates but since it works fine manually AND the goofs in Redmond are continually screwing things up with their misbehaved garbage OS I am leaving it set not to start automatically.

I am running the most current version 3. I suspect that what you just experienced is more of the Win 10 update silliness that breaks a lot of stuff with every new patch. I put the EOS utility start icon on my taskbar a couple of years ago and that is what I use to start it manually. Mine has been trouble free since I disabled automatic startup in task manager and then I activate it manually after I tell the camera to initiate communications.

However I think with Win 10 you are always one flawed Microsoft patch away from new problems so I have no confidence that I won't have to deal with other connection issues in the future as this garbage OS continues to further decompose. I have never change the default startup settings, and have never experienced problems with updates "breaking" the EOS utility from automatically starting up when I connect a camera and switch it on.

I have no way to either confirm or deny that suspicion other than my observations on half a dozen Windows PCs.

You could also try uninstalling the windows update you think may have caused the problem. Did you do any other upgrades or additions to the computer recently? EOS utility is initiated when windows starts up. When the 'link' is broken or corrupted the utility can not 'sense' the presence of the connected camera. Assuming that you have the original software discs, uninstall EOS Utility from the control panel, reboot, and re-install the program.

Once installed update to its latest version. I always I also create a full Windows OS Image backup every month after getting our monthly microsoft updates. Sometimes windows system restore will fail for some reason or the other, most times from anti-virus protection being active. I cannot stress enough, the importance of an OS operating system Full image backup.

But exclusion of the. So now I am looking for some other AniVirus. Any recommendations? Until now I have been satisfied with AVG. I use Avast, it's free, and it does'nt hamper any of my Canon software. I'm surprised AVG would do that.
