No compiling possible ?!

Question

I've been using Latex for almost 2,5 years now. Since i installed Windows 10 on my Laptop, TeXmaker wont work. The most common error, that its shows is:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit) (preloaded format=pdflatex 2015.3.5) 6 MAR 2015 20:54 entering extended mode

I get this message for this code:

\documentclass{scrartcl} 

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 
\usepackage{lmodern} 
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel} 
\usepackage{amsmath} 

\title{Ein Testdokument} 
\author{Otto Normalverbraucher} 
\date{5. Januar 2004} 
\begin{document} 

\maketitle 
\tableofcontents 
\section{Einleitung} 

 Hier kommt die Einleitung. Ihre Überschrift kommt 
 automatisch in das Inhaltsverzeichnis. 

 \subsection{Formeln} 

 \LaTeX{} ist auch ohne Formeln sehr nützlich und 
  einfach zu verwenden. Grafiken, Tabellen, 
  Querverweise aller Art, Literatur- und 
  Stichwortverzeichnis sind kein Problem. 

  Formeln sind etwas schwieriger, dennoch hier ein 
  einfaches Beispiel.  Zwei von Einsteins 
  berühmtesten Formeln lauten: 
  \begin{align} 
  E &= mc^2                                  \\ 
  m &= \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}} 
  \end{align} 
  Aber wer keine Formeln schreibt, braucht sich 
  damit auch nicht zu beschäftigen. 
  \end{document} 

I hope one can help me. Next Projects are incoming....^^

Thanks

Answer 1

It works fine for me in the same configuration (windows 10, texmaker, MiKTeK 2.9 64 bit)

Update yours packages with MiKTeK Update (admin)

Your format is a bit old (preloaded format=pdflatex 2015.3.5)

So build your format with MiKTeK Settings (admin). Il you compile with latex, choose latex and then build. Il you compile with pdflatex, choose pdflatex and build. And so on ..

You can alternatively Updates all the formats in one command with Updates Formats on the General tab

Surprise Surprise: Solved it: I deleted everything that included Miktex and Texmaker and installed Miktex again. Updated it, made sure that there is no other update. Ok. Texmaker installed. Still not working. Looked inside of Texmaker Configuration and in PDFLATEX there was this order: -shell-escape=external which i deleted and surprisingly it works now. I did not had it in the beginning until i compared my config with a friend and added it. Puhhhhhhh Finally it works!!! Update - Configuration check!
