Asus N551JQ: Why do I get "Restart required" message every time I boot up?

Mon, 24 Sep 2018 05:03:02 -0700

I turn off the Notebook every night, sometimes removing the power connection, sometimes not. Every morning, when I turn it on, I get a message saying that a restart is required for the computer to function fully. Why? What is wrong?

Asus N551JQ: Java 8 update 151 always fails to install; Java will not uninstall.

Mon, 15 Jul 2024 00:03:48 -0700

Kaspersky repeatedly advises of "important" Java update but every update attempt in Kaspersky fails "because Chrome is running" (though Chrome is not actually open).

After closing Chrome as prompted in the Kaspersky dialog, still the update fails.

Six or more Chromes are listed in Task Manager. Attempts to End task on any of these gives an alert saying that Pocket or Kaspersky etc. is crashing, so I back out.

Every attempt to uninstall Java gives an alert telling me that something (doesn't say what) is already in the process of being installed and asking me to try again later. Always the same. Never happens.

What's going on here?

Asus N551JQ: Device similarity of Asus N551JQ and Asus N550JA

Sun, 29 Apr 2018 16:07:02 -0700

Is this model sufficiently similar to the N550JA to use these instructions for work on my N550JA? No instructions are listed for my model.

I started a Windows 8.5 update which will not complete. Asus tech supports suggests replacing hard drive and loading a fresh copy of Windows 10 as the only solution. I would like help with that work.
