  • Wuauclt.exe slow down my computer

    Whenever the Windows Update automatic update Client runs, it significantly slows down my computer.  For this reason, I put automatic updates updated Fridays @ 03:00, so that I'm not on my computer and it should not cause me any hassle during the working day.  However, this is not the case.  It's a Tuesday afternoon and I have wuauclt.exe now works and has downloaded the updates and continues to ask me to install the updates.  It is difficult to run the programs I need for running the job with that.  I've closed several times by the Task Manager: processes tab and it will not be closed.

    Sorry for not responding earlier but I never received a notification of any more responses about this until today .

    As Mike has already said, if your on a domain network, you must ask the Admin on how the system is updated.
    If it isn't and you are the person who updates it, then you have to turn off the automatic updates service and set THE " disable automatic updates. I want to update my computer manually. "

    When you are ready to update, and this includes to restart the system so that files that are used can be replaced, and then start the automatic updates service before either visiting web sites Windows or Microsoft Update.

  • Games slow down a computer?

    I played Command and Conquer 4 on my computer very old. It can be played, but the graphics are bad and it is very slow. If I continue to play the computer may crash. So I had planned to play on my new computer. But my parents do not allow that. Reasons are

    1. Games can have viruses.
    2. Viruses can hack into my computer and get information, such as bank accounts. (I installed Bitdefender 2010 IPSec)
    3. Games make my computer unreliable and slow.

    Can you check for me if these reasons are true. I know too many games running at the same TIME will be a slow computer. But what happens if my requirements meet the minimum requirements for the games, it slows down the computer? Also, I defrag and cleaning my PC regularly so do not understand that my computer will do to appear slowly over a short period of time (1 year).

    Hello TechKid.  Feel free to forward this message to your parents *.

    (1) their original CD-ROM or DVD-ROM games will not have the virus.  Back in the olden days where game was on a disk that it was possible that a set of second hand could have been infected, simply because the disks could be written after the fact.  Actually I've ever met.

    (2) a bit, (but still once falsely assume original games of detail will virus), in practice, they are much more wet than that.  Decent anti-malware and ensuring your machine and all the software connected to the internet is updated will solve this problem.

    (3) not true.  While the game is running, they are obviously fewer resources for other things.  But once the game has been closed it will not use all of the system resources.  In regard to making them unreliable, more wrong.

    * It won't do anything, they don't want to play you games on this machine, they will come with any excuse for this purpose.

    Anyway on this system, I think that you should always keep the graphics on their low settings, the graphics card is a budget card, not suitable for games.

    I saw crazy files but I don't remember where I saw them.

    I saw crazy files but I don't remember where I saw them.

    Generally files, in itself, is not slowing down your computer.  Just to have files on your hard disk (because it is not completely filled) means very little - this is when things run / run they can cause problems.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

  • Creative cloud slows down my computer

    Hello

    Screen Grab 1: Time, I woke up my Mac (09: 28:52)

    Creative-Cloud-1.jpg

    Screen Grab 2: Image of Sync still running an hour and ten minutes after that my computer has woken up!

    When my MAC wakes first, and CC tries to run, it slows down the right of the computer. Trying to run what is slow, but launch anything that connects to the internet (browser/email) gets badly done!

    I checked my activity monitor...

    Creative-Cloud-2.jpg

    Screen Grab 3: Shows the use of the processor (in percentage) where my computer was first wakes up.

    Screen Grab 4: Shows the CPU usage after Firefox and Mail ended launch and the core of the CPU usage is a CC Adobe software.

    Screen Grab 5: Indicates consumption of energy by my computer, new CC is upstairs.

    Screen Grab 6: Is my settings. At the speed of transfer of 100%, I have no chance of any other connection to the internet at startup. 75%-100% during the working day it slows down my computer if I am trying to update the browser, while he was working on a Web site, and CC is something synchronization attempt. I have a 50MB connection.

    I have been informed that sync is sometimes a bit weird if the computer has been stopped during a synchronization. I usually check the blue transfer the arrows are not in the top bar, meaning CC is not synchronized. I also use a HP laptop and it is all too slow there when he wakes up first of all, although not too bad, only about 10 minutes waiting.

    It seems to be a major problem with CC to get IT done by someone to turn off their computer. In order to always try to connect and run more than an hour after the computer has been awakened is ridiculous! It has not always connected (11:09)!

    I just can't use it any more and switch to Dropbox, turning off Sync and just using CC for updating applications. It has the potential to be a great and useful application, but fell short with his excessive CPU and energy consumption. The fact that if you turn it off during a synchronization, he throws his toys out of the pram is bad. People will often have to do, for example work on a train and the connection is lost during synchronization, or they need to close the lid of your laptop to get off the train quickly.

    It took until 11:20 to connect and synchronize, almost 2 hours after my computer started!

    Another issue is he says: 'some files impossible to sync' on the MAC, but the same files on the PC CC are fine? What is everything?

    Creative-Cloud-3.jpg

    "All the files" on the left are the PC this morning. "Some cannot synchronize files" is the MAC this morning, exactly the same files. The files are the "_notes" that produces your product, Dreamweaver. BUT, as you can see from the screenshot below, some "_notes" folders are marked green and some red exclamation points! Why? How the names of file folders to be OK and NOT OK? Fortunately this is an old site, I should remove from CC, I no longer guard _notes' because of this problem.

    Specifications (although I had different MACS with higher specifications and it still happens):

    Mac Mini (late 2014)

    OS X El Capitan 10.11.3

    2.6 GHz Intel Core i5

    8 GB memory

    Iris 1536 MB Intel graphics card

    1 TB Sata Drive (852 GB free space)

    HP Pavilion 17G015NA laptop

    10 64-bit Windows Home

    Intel Core i5

    2.2 GHz

    8 GB memory

    1 TB of disk (816 GB of free space)

    I had a major problem the other day. CC finally synchronized, so I thought and has started working on a site and transferred my files, with the new Foundation 6 scripts. Not realizing he had not really synchronized and the files I'm downloading came from the day before and not the previous night - when I was working on them on my laptop. I had to start my laptop, trying to stop him immediately synchronization, so that I can download the latest files form the previous night, then upload them to my local folder on my Mac. It is unfortunately the only way I know for sure that I have the latest files on each computer. Download them from the server I can't trust what has been synchronized by CC. It surely beats the purpose of the CC, in what it is supposed to allow users to access the same files on each machine. I can't wait for nearly two hours for CC to sync my MAC with what I worked the day before on the HP. It slows down my computer and makes it unusable for about 15-20 minutes.

  • Installation of MS Antivirus Essentials - will slow down my computer?

    I want to install Microsoft Security Essentials on my PC at home only.

    I currently have McAfee Anti Virus Plus, which is effective but often slows down my computer because it downloads the updates and tests.

    Download of Microsoft would do the same thing, and offer the equivalent level of protection?

    I'm going to only three for three. We use MSE for 18 months. In addition to the recommendation of Chet814 to remove McAfee using the correct disposal method/tool, this applies to any other real-time protection that you have currently or previously installed.

  • Should have 8 000 emails in my Inbox Windows Mail (Vista) considerably slow down my computer with 3 GB of RAM and trigger alerts from Norton of "the High CPU use by Windows Mail.

    In addition, about half of my 8,000 e-mails are unread. Thus, the fact of having 4 000 unread emails in my mailbox Windows (Vista) slow down my computer more than if they were 4 000 read emails?

    If so, is there a quick way to mark all read emails as read in Windows Mail (Vista)?      .. .in windows Live Mail (Vista)?

    Even if these unread e-mails degrade the speed, is there a quick way to mark all read emails as read in Windows Mail (Vista)?... .in windows Live Mail (Vista)?

    I also regularly get an alert Norton of 'Use of disc high by Microsoft Windows Search Indexer.'  Gravity is the next, and what can I do to fix the problem?

    Finally, I have a lot of folders: would have 2,000 emails in the Inbox Windows (Vista) slow down a computer more than if 2 000 mails were one or more files?   This change of response if the e-mail is unread vs bed?

    #2: the Inbox is accessible by your computer whenever he asks new messages. The fact of having 1,000 messages in the Inbox slow it down? I have no personal experience, since I never have more than a dozen or messages in my Inbox, but it is so likely. If you have lots of free space on the hard disk, the messages would be better in another folder (s). Even if you create more WinMail's local folders and move messages to them.

    I would also say this. Try to compact and repair the database.

    OT: Long-running Script.

    I have a Windows 7 laptop. I get the message that I have a script of long-term slow down my computer. What exactly is that and how it stop?

    Could you give a little more detail please, if possible. For example when these pop-up messages? you're in a browser (Internet explorer?) when they occur, or do they appear just when you have nothing open on your desktop?

    IF they pop up when you use Internet Explorer, have a read of this to see if it gives indications - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/308260 (unfortunately, it's pretty long).

    Alternatively, you can try to disable the IE script debugger, but maybe it's more to hide the fault rather than fix, assuming it is useful at all.

    Open IE, tools, Internet Options, [Advanced] tab, click on "Disable Script debugging (IE) press OK, close IE and re - open it to see if its helped." There are also "Disable script debugging (other) to try to see if that helps." If they do not help, reset them.
