  Hello

   

  1. have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

  2. What antivirus application is installed on the computer?

  3. What are the different user accounts on the computer?

  This problem occurs if Windows Update has been disabled by one of the following settings:

  · Group Policy

  · System policy
  · Registry

  I suggest you follow these methods and check.

  Method 1: Perform the clean boot and try to install the updates.

  To do this, follow the steps in this link:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  NOTE: Once you check the functionality, follow the suggestions under steps to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state.

   

  Method 2: Try to turn on the auto update by following the steps in the link below.

  How to configure automatic updates by using Group Policy or of registry settings

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/328010

  Registry warning: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 322756

  How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

   

  Method 3: Turn off the antivirus application and try to download the updates and check.

   

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

   

  Method 4: Perform a full scan of the computer using the following antivirus applications.

  Microsoft Safety Scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Malicious software removal tool: http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• Windows Update or automatic updates no longer work after installing SP3?

  Recently I photographed two XP machines. A a Latitude D600 and also an Optiplex 745 with Windows XP SP2. I can deploy SP3 in our process of the image. First run I did. Once installed SP3 updates no longer work. I found this article KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144 and tried the suggestions here and FixIt MS, no luck. Then I thought why not try again maybe all the trial and error messed up something. I reimage but this time choose to do not to install SP3 immediately. Once done I run Windows Update and it works, until it installs SP3 then is no longer functions. I tried the above steps once again, no luck. I then leave the PC for 48 hours to see if the automatic updates the shot but they do not have. By other suggestions online I wrote a small batch file that updates several components of Windows Update (dll) which made no difference, and yes I'm in the last WindowsUpdateAgent. Please any help on this would be welcome. We move away XP but we have still a few dozen or more systems deployment running XP and this question slows down my work courses as I spend time troubleshooting instead of being able to finish and move along.

• Updates to settle if automatic update is disabled?

  Two weeks ago, I allowed the computer to "update and turn off.  After restart the next morning, I received an error message and the blue screen of death.  Finally, after trying all available automatic recovery, I had to send my computer to the center of the guarantee of having the reinstalled window and the hard drive repair.

  Less all my files of course.

  I just left the computer on three days while my files restored from my cloud storage.

  When I went to close I noticed that it wanted to update again.  NOT. A.Chance I'll make several updates until I did this semester of teaching!

  I have now disabled automatic updates and questions.

  FYI - I am a 50 years old Professor of biology.  Don't try to tell me things to do in computer language.  I did not major in computer science and have no patience for coding etc..  I want just an operating system that I don't miss every three months as this computer windows 8 a.

  If I have automatic updates disable, but updates were downloaded before that they installed if the computer is turned off or restarted?  (I have to install some programs for work once again will require a reboot).   I have also to travel with this computer - if sometimes it must be turned off.

  When can I find out what course allow this update?

  Original title: win crash update

  Hello D,

  Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

  Windows Update contains software tools that detect information about your computer, such as the make and model and the version of Windows and other Microsoft software running on your computer. Microsoft uses this information to install only the updates your computer needs.

  Windows Update notifies you if the security and other important updates cannot be installed. This can happen due to various reasons including corrupted Windows Update package installation, slow or intermittent internet connection, third-party manufacturer's software is conflicting with Windows running on your computer etc services. To do this, Windows provides a built-in Troubleshooting of Windows Update that can automatically find and fix some problems with Windows Update.

  You can, however, disable automatic update when you want. This gives you an option to choose until the Windows updates are installed. Windows does not install updates when the automatic update is disabled. So, if you restart your computer to install some software, this will not affect not updates of Windows works if automatic update is disabled. However, you can get notification to install updates pending.

  Second, it is always safe to install Windows updates with an internet connection running flawlessly. For best results, it is recommended that you run not any third-party application, while updates are installing and the internet connection is smooth. Alternatively, you can Activate the automatic update when you want. Don't forget, updates Windows Installer patches critical for lots of bugs related to the software installed on the system and ensures that the device drivers for Windows are not absent from your PC.

  Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need additional help on the issue, we will be happy to help you.

  Hello

  Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

  Put the computer to boot and see if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: follow step 4 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

• After an automatic update, lastnight (13 December), has lost access to the internet through the guest account.

  Original title: Guest account Internet connection

  I am using an account on windows 7

  There has just been an automatic update, lastnight (13 December), and now I've lost access to internet through the guest account.

  I think that because of the update, the administrator must log or something, but I'm lost what to do. The internet worked for the guest before the update account and I do not have the administrator password. The administrator has not used the computer because I had an internet connection, as they went on vacation. I'm looking after their cats!

  Any help would be great.

  See you soon

  Hi Tom,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  Since you lost the internet connection after updating, you may need to update the NIC drivers to retrieve the connection. This is possible only if you have administrator privileges.

  For more information, see the article:

  What is a guest account?

  However, you can check if you can try the steps in the article to resolve the problem. If this isn't the case, you may need to wait for the administrator to return the party to the same difficulty.
