Automatic maintenance cannot be stopped on Windows 8-64 bit OS

Automatic maintenance works for the last two months. When I try to stop the automatic maintenance in the center of the action, he gives no answer.

Hi Adam,.

If you are logged in using an administrator account?

Windows 8 automatically performs a number of maintenance tasks for you, including the diagnoses of the intelligent system, to check if updates are available for your software and perform security scans. Auto maintenance done too many functions, switch it off completely is not advisable.

Automatic Maintenance runs normally at a time when the computer is idle. When it detects that the computer is used both in the demand for auto maintenance, then it does not start automatically, and instead, he waits for the next time when the computer is idle.

Apparently, it is not possible to turn it off completely. You could disable at least starting to wake your computer.

You can view the MSDN blog to change the settings for Maintenance and to get more information about the automatic Maintenance on Windows 8:

    I have a user who is running windows 7 64 bit which cannot change default programs. This only happens on the computer if it is connect.

    I would like to know if someone can run firefox browser (not in safe mode) on the Qosmio G50 - 10i using Windows 7 64 bit. Since I changed the operating system 32-bit to 64-bit, I can't use Firefox browser except change the browser in safe mode.
    Don't know if this is a problem with the computer or web browser.

    A control will be useful
    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    Of course, you can use Firefox on the Qosmio G50. Why it shouldn't be possible? Firefox can be used on all computers.

    In my opinion, you should try put it back. Download the latest version and update. Maybe it works.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working (Windows 7, 64-bit)

    I am trying to run Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit Windows 7. Everytime I open the program, I get an error saying "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working", immediately after the startup screen goes away and the main GUI opens. The only option on the error is "close the program".

    I'm on a computer with a processor i7 and 12 GB of memory. I have two Nvidia GTS 250 video cards, four monitors running.

    During the last day, I reformatted my computer and reinstalled Windows twice. I reinstalled the CS5 Master Suite several times that I can remember. I also downloaded and installed the latest drivers from Nvidia video card.

    I keep having the same problem whenever I try to open all of the programs in the suite CS5.

    The only time where as I got near the do function was immediately after installing new Nvidia drivers, before restarting my computer. I could open only once without it breaking, once I restarted my computer, Photoshop kept giving me the same error everytime I try to open it.

    I don't have any other software installed on my computer. This is a new installation of Windows 7.

    I was on the phone with Adobe technical support for about an hour and a half, and I still have to get one unique suggestion other than to try with my unplugged network cable installation. Other than that, they seem to be fond of the transfer me back and forth between departments (and asking me to repeat all my information every time).

    As you can probably, I am very frustrated at this point and would be very happy to suggestions.

    Thank you

    My scenario and history:

    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and now Windows 7 Ultimate

    NVidia Quadro Fx 4500 screwing 4 monitors total SLi on or off - makes no difference.  Drivers are irrelevant.

    2 x Xeon 5160 (so total 4 cores)

    24 GB RAM

    PS CS 4 or 5

    4 monitors - Yep it's the thing 4 monitor.

    Fails every time that you describe.

    Comment - if you remote desktop on the computer - and so, indeed, use a single monitor - PS works fine.

    A WORKAROUND solution for 4 or 5 - I don't consider not that difficult because you lose some features, but it gets you 99% it and is the same workaround for CS4 or 5

    Go to: Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 bit) \Plug-ins\Extensions\ (or CS4 - according to version)

    Look for the file:

    ScriptingSupport.8li

    Disable this extension by renaming the file with a tilde before the name of the file.  So:

    ~ScriptingSupport.8li

    Start Photoshop - it works and is essentially functional.

    The only real drawback I found is that disable this script extension means that you cannot use some of the scripts integrated under FILE - SCRIPTS - larger PIA for me to be that of the Contact Sheet Builder no longer works.  But as I now use Lightroom to create planks-contacts - this is not a big loss.  Other features script - I'm sure is applied - but not to the point I find PS unusable.

    ADOBE - if you read this - it was this extesión now for the last two editions of the PS.

  • Cannot install the update - Windows 7 64 bit (windows installer error - program might not work)

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I'm unable to install updates for iTunes (last successful update was my PC itunes 12.2.2.25 64 bit). The error message I get when you try to run the downloaded exe file from apple is: 'there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your supplier of staff or the package of support ". Please indicate what the problem is and how I can fix. I am not able to backup or synchronize my devices (for example iphone 6 sec) over to my PC as it is said that iTunes must be 12.3 or higher. Thank you - Bryan

    Try to repair the Apple Software Update of the programs and features Control Panel, and then reinstall iTunes.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Cannot install itunes on windows 8 64-bit.

    just got a new laptop of WIn8. will not let me install itunes 10.7; said the program is incompatible and will not run the installation program. Any IDE? Have to wait as Apple updated itunes?

    I have the answer I think that, even if it is not for the non-techie types. Fortunately, he does not imply the registry entries or a command prompt, it is not that difficult if you follow each step carefully. :) Seriously, take a deep breath, consider a step at a time and you can do the.

    Before these measures taken, I couldn't get iTunes to install, but I understood this process recently with another program that gave me problems. Once I did this I have iTunes to run without any problems at all.

    FIRST: You need to download and Save the full install package to iTunes. It will not work if it's a web installer! So don't go on iTunes and just hit Install. You must use the download and save. 
    I used iTunes 10.7.0.21 is told by the way. I downloaded it in October 2012, but the timestamp real Digital Signature says September 10, 2012. If possible, I recommend trying to get this version, in order to get out of another potential variable. Once downloaded go the file itself, probably in the downloads.
    1. Open the iTunes Setup file Properties (right click, properties) and you will see five tabs at the top: general, compatibility, Digital Signatures, security and details.
    2. In compatibility hit the button change the settings for all users , then check to run Windows 7 and run as Admin. Press Apply and réécrirait usual property tabs
    3. Then go to Security and click on Advanced
    4. In Advanced Options, you will see probably two types user unknown with a digital channel for a long time after. Not exactly sure what these are (probably Apple associated with), but they cause problems with the installers, so we are going to get out them. Click on one and press disable inheritance , and then click the button that appears to convert inherited permissions to explicit permissions on this object.
    5. After that select two unknown profiles and press delete and apply
    6. Then go to the last tab in this group (still in the Advanced Setup menu), which is entitled effective access
    7. Press to Select a user , and type the name that you use to connect to Windows 8 with in the Open box and then click on check names (name of your full user profile will come) and click OK
    8. When you do that, you can hit OK until you are off the menu of propriety .
    9. Run install, and I think you'll be all set, if this isn't an official technical support.
    Good luck!
