  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.

• Somehow my XP OS some features to go home, but have always some quirks: the function of automatic update is on but a prompt warning burst to say computer is in danger and that the automatic update is disabled...

  I have been in contact with Avast and they got my antivirus works then it has eliminated some of the infected files, but has done some damage to my XP system. Now, as mentioned, I can do things that my previous question. I can't use my cd to repair XP due to a prompt to say that my laptop is a version higher than the cd update...
  Back to the drawing board. Any advice? An Apple MacPro is perhaps in my near future...

  Thanks to all of you who have read my problems.

  Well, that would be good...  If your system has installed Service Pack 3 (you did not) and your XP installation CD has an older PC, you probably want to use your old CD to repair your current system, would you?  Does this sound like your situation?

  Unless you have created an installation CD of new/updated XP with SP3 on it yourself, it is unlikely for most people to have such a thing.  You can certainly use your old XP CD to create a new installation CD of XP that has SP3 on it, but you can do it later (this is a fun project).

  So far things are working perfectly!

  Avast! sometimes has a bad habit of quarantine (effectively Delete) critical XP system files...  This is not sound like the problem with your automatic updates, but it would be nice to let some other scanners to look at your system (Avast! don't know everything).

  Since you seem to have had some kind of infection of the system, I suggest you do the following tests in addition to your Avast! and THEN solve any problems the scans by operating clean.

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

• Automatic update will not stay in automatic mode

  I apply automatic updates to automatic and start, then a Virus I assume in turn he returns to disabled so I can't launch the updates for Microsoft Security Essentials

  Note: We can see that the computer is badly infected. We must now determine how best to get it cleaned up. Please answer the following questions by number in your response:

  1. When did you first notice that automatic updates is disabled and that you could not re - activate? Was this before or after you had installed MSE?

  2. do you have a Norton or McAfee free trial come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? [Yes/No/don't know]

  3. were you running McAfee Internet Security , McAfee VirusScanor McAfee Security Centerbefore installing MSE?

  4. open Add/Remove programs and make sure that the show updates at the top box is checked. Now do scroll down and tell me who, if the following updates are listed:

  Windows XP security update (972270)

  Windows XP security update (978207)

  Update security for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (978207)

  Update security for Windows Internet Explorer 8 (978207)

  PS: Install MSE automatically removes Windows Defender on Windows XP computers so don't worry about this. In fact, even your McAfee application may have disabled Defender.

  Hi Fabrax,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forums.

  Be you please perform a clean boot on your system to see if that helps to clarify the freezing issue that you are experiencing?

  Here are the steps on how to perform a clean boot on your system:

  First step: perform a clean boot

  1. sign your computer with an administrator account.

  2. click on start.

  3. type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

  4. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  5. in the general tab, click Selective startup, and then click to clear the check box load startup items.

  6. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.

  * NOTE: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

  7. click OK and then click on restart.

  Second step: enable half the services

  1. start the System Configuration utility. Refer to the steps above if you need to see how to do this.

  2. click on the Services tab and then click to select the skin all the Microsoft services checkbox.

  3 click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.

  4. click OK and then click on restart.

  Step 3: determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat the first stage and the second stage. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have initially enabled in the Service list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat the first stage and the second stage. In the second step, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one service is selected in the list of services, and you the problem persists, the service selected the cause of the problem. Go to sixth step. If no service is causing this problem, go to step 4.

  Step 4: enable half of the startup items

  Perform a clean boot by repeating step 1.

  Click the Startup tab, and then click to select half of the check boxes in the startup item list.

  Click OK and then click on restart.

  Step 5: determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat the first step and the fourth step. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have originally selected in the startup item list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat the first step and the fourth step. In the fourth step, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the startup item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one startup item is selected in the startup item list, and you still experience the problem, start selected in the list element is the service that is causing the problem. Go to sixth step.

  If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely the cause of the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat the first stage and the second stage without selecting the skin all the box Microsoft services at every step.

  Step 6: resolve the problem

  After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

  Step 7: solve the problem

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  1. click on start

  2. type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

  3. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  4. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  5. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Here is the KB article that came as follows:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  After running the clean boot please post back and let us know if it helped to solve your problem or not, so that we can help you if necessary. After you run the startup clean please try and change automatic updating settings again and see if you are still having the same problem. Robyn

• Windows XP: Automatic updates cannot be activated?

  For some reason, when I start my PC, the small icon bottom right tray comes up saying the automatic updates are disabled. So, I click on the bubble to open the Security Center interface and click on the button "Turn on automatic updates" and I get a little error box indicating:

  "We are sorry. The Security Center could not change your Automatic Updates settings. To try to change these settings yourself, go to system in Control Panel. On the Automatic Updates tab, select Automatic (recommended) and then click OK. »

  So I go to system in Control Panel and click on the automatic, but Automatic Updates tab is already selected.

  So I can't tell if they are actually on or not. Does anyone know what is the problem?

  Click Start, select run, type: regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll

  Press Ok

  Also I suggest you to check your system as suggested by Jose Posada.
