I cant see anything in the program add-remove list. I mean it is empty though I have installed several programs and updates. another problem is that I have to click on the user icon in the windows opening though there is only one user in my computer. How can I configure my computer so that windows opens directly? thank you

as for the add/remove... wait a while - it takes some time for the list to load - even on a high-end machine

Go to C:\WINDOWS\inf Folder and find the following file and open it in Note Pad.
sysoc.inf
EDIT all lines that have either hide or HIDE
by deleting the hide or HIDE.
EXAMPLE:
Before editing.
WBEM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wbemoc.inf,hide,7
After editing.
WBEM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wbemoc.inf,,7

Once done Go up to File and chose SAVE and close the file and reboot the computer.
Now you will have those components in the ADD/REMOVE options.
