• The service "wuauserv" (automatic updates) does not work correctly

  The service 'wuauserv' uses constantly between 88 and 95% of my CPU, slowing down my computer to the point that it is almost unusable, so I've been suspending or disabling the process 'wuauserv' every time I use my computer.

  In addition, Windows Update does not, if "wuauserv" is suspended or not.
  It prevents just check the latest updates and never stops to do that no matter how long wait.

  Well, I managed to solve the problem.

  I followed the instructions on this page: http://workingscripts.blogspot.com/2008/05/windows-update-high-cpu-usage-fix.html

  Immediately after that, Windows Update and the automatic updates service finally started working again. It has been almost two weeks since I fixed it and have not had a problem since.

  I didn't format the hard drive and do a clean install of Windows XP for this problem - I have never done this because it does not seem necessary.

  And I do not see how this relatively recent automatic updates problem never touched my other problem Installation of Internet Explorer years discussed in my other thread.

• Automatic update does not

  I have some problems with my computer. In the last months, I had to run Malwarebytes as there was a large number of viruses on my computer. I use AVG and Windows Security Center.

  Since the first major attack of virus, my Security Center tells me that my firewall and automatic updates are disabled. I continue to turn on the firewall, but it turns off after that I have turn the computer back on, and I also tried to turn on the automatic updates. When I went to the tab, I saw that he was already, but I don't get updates.

  I went to the Microsoft site, but I was told that if I wanted to download anything whatsoever from the Download Center I have to use Internet Explorer (generally, I use Firefox), so I just downloaded the new IE8. However, the page is blank... even Google will not open. He says that the internet is not connected - which obviously is that Firefox still works!

  Any help is greatly appreciated... but take it easy on me, I don't understand all this!

  Thanks :)

  Seeing that your system has been compromised by "a large number of virus", the only methods to ensure that there is no hidden malware present so that you can trust your system would be to:

  (1) create a rescue CD that the system can be started with so that the hard disk is idle.

  Kaspersky Rescue CD
  BitDefender Rescue CD

  (2) save all your personal data and program installation files, or application. Then gave and installation of the files scanned by a malware online scanner or downloaded to ensure that nothing has been compromised.

  Then, format and reinstall Windows XP.

  Otherwise your system probably all your keystrokes, passwords and financial information sent to the web servers of cyber criminals or it part of a botnet.

• My automatic update does not work.

  I received this message everytime I open Firefox for quite awhile without realizing exactly what that meant. Now I see that I'm running 6.0, rather than 7.1 and when I click on automatic update, the message I get is: the update could not be installed. Please make sure that there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer and restart Firefox to try again. I have certainly no other copies of Firefox running.

• Automatic Updates does not take into account calendar, runs when I'm playing games and kill them

  Windows Update does three things:
  -Checks the updates - it takes several minutes of intense activity of disk and processor
  -Download updates - this hammers bandwidth
  -Installs updates - disc of hammers and cpu

  I have a dual system of fast cpu - it doesn't help not-windows update will be hammer any system, as it is not limited - it works just as fast as possible.

  Everything would be perfect if it ran only on time, by the windows update control panel.

  I put it to run at 04:00, because that's when I'm never on the system. The system is still on at 04:00. It has been set to 04:00 for 6 months now.

  However, he always runs updates at other times. More recently, it is said that she checked at 18:26 and installed at 00:50. I've often wondered why my game is either corrupt, only to discover, it does the updates of windows (the other culprit is snapshots in system restore, I plan now by using Task Scheduler to arrive at a reasonable time).

  Basically, Windows Update ignore all calendar - as has been complained by many other people.

  Its a huge process and it needs to be programmed correctly - at least to run only in idle time.

  Is it possible to control the actual schedule of windows update?

  Please DO NOT SAY to SET THE TIME in THE CONTROL PANEL as it does clearly no difference to everything that is important.

  Also do not forget that all THE STEPS of updating windows are disastrous for a game - worst, it is in fact the verification of updates, but the cheque, the download and installation are all bad - all the parties must be scheduled to happen when I'm not in the middle of a game.

  Thank you
  Jez

  Same here, Windows updates of the race and moved to all kinds of weather. Even if it is set to 03:00 on this PC.

  My Windows 7 computer did the same thing.

  The only solution I have for you is to put WU to check the updates and notify you that they are available.

  ARB

  1 Java installed (Version 6 Update 31)
  2. Yes.
  3 IE7
  4 Google
  No. 5 a & b.
  6 NO.
  7. YES... In Add/Remove Programs, I have the following: Windows live essentials, Windows live sign-in assistant [and] live Windows Update tool.

  #7 ah, explains a little bit & offers at least a glimmer of hope.

  Background: Since one or more Windows Live Essentials (for example, Windows Live Messenger;) Windows Live Mail) were already installed IE8 is offered at your computer, auto update installed the MSN/Bing-optimized version of IE8 (although it was not called that at the time). Then your more later misguided (IMHO) use of registry cleaners (for example, CCleaner) removed his token of your User-Agent string - with at least another token (i.e., .NET Framework version 1.x).

  Pass, if this peut be fixed, this should fix:

  [You can print these instructions for reference offline.  [If a procedure says to restart, restart!]

  ACTIONS:

  1 right-click on the link, select SAVE TARGET as... and Save the installer for the 'vanilla' of IE8 for WinXP for your dekstop version - do not RUN it! -online http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/C/0/CC0BD555-33DD-411E-936B-73AC6F95AE11/IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3 uninstall Windows Internet Explorer 8 via Add/Remove Programs & reboot twice.  [Trust me]

  Note: Ignore any warnings "such and such might not work if...". "- everything will be fine.

  4. immediately after the second time restarts, double-click the file that you saved in #1 above to install the 'vanilla' of IE8 version; Follow all instructions & restart twice again.

  Note: Be extremely patient - the whole process could take 10 to 15 minutes or more, even without the second restart. And did not even try to open / use IE8 until after the second restart.

  5. then immediately re-open IE8 (only!) at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com . Select CUSTOM and scan | Install Security updates offered (e.g., KB2675157); Follow all the instructions.

  -Online if an update root certificates (KB931125) is listed under the category of updates software optional again, install it to enjoy greater security of IE8.

  TIP: As before, do NOT install any other updates software optional or any updated material in option .

  6. test your new version of the feature of IE8 & see if you can select Google as search engine by default now (if it is not already the default).  If you can not, I have another trick or two up my sleeve so hang in there!

  7. in response to this post with a status report. Good luck!

  FOR THE BONUS EXTRA POINTS QUESTION! => Assuming that Windows Live Messenger or Mail is (still) installed, click HELP. [ALT + H + A] & tell me what version it is (for example, v14.0.8117.0416).
