• My laptop took more than 12 hours to install an update from windows and is still doing, and will not be closed.

  I use Vista and an HP Pavilion laptop. I noticed the closing down and install updates logo was so I used it and my laptop started to install 2 updates (June 18, 2011). Finished the first, it was install the 2nd for more than 12 hours. The screen tells me not power off or unplug the machine.  The drive light flashes occasionally, it can come entirely for a second or two. What can I do? Surely it's far from since long to be normal and something went wrong.  The laptop keys are unresponsive. The cursor has changed to the blue circle by day and cycles but will not move with the mouse or key.  In the past, some updates took 3-4 hours, they have been great with more than a dozen of components, but never anywhere as long as it. I opened and closed the DVD several times, that works and is empty, just to see if anything's happening. What should I do? Should I continue to wait? If so how long? Can I really just ignore the warnings and turn it off and restart it?

• After an automatic update of Windows and stop, Firefox does not remember my tabs open at startup. Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow?

  Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow? My computer is automatically installed a Windows Update at 03:00 and switch off. When I started out, I had to restart Firefox.

  == Automatic update of Windows shut down my computer in the middle of the night.

  Hello.

  It is possible that it was by force the windows closed so your firefox which makes you forget... Have you tried to crash your Firefox to see if the session is not restored?

  To plant your Firefox, simply there open, press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and then, on the process tab in the window that appears, complete the process firefox.exe. That will force Firefox to close at this moment. Do start again. If it works, ok, so it may have been a case isolate. My recommendation is to configure your windows does not install updates without your intervention. Choose something like 'ask me what to do' or something like that.
