Automatic update of windows is running. Insofar as it took 2 hours to download 26%. What is the problem?

I'm under the professional version of windows xp with service pack 3. Who can help?

Too many updates, too many people who need updates.

Forget it for a day and if nothing happens within 24 hours, and then possibly manually scan.

Nothing to worry about right now.

When you go to shut the computer, what are updates have been made, will be installed at this time here. This happens when the automatic updates downloaded updates, but not all updates to date you have requested or for automatic download.

  • I'm updating my windows defender and I installed mse or norton, but is not install what is the reason behined it

    When I update windows at this point that I uninstall norton and after uninstalling it I updated windows defender and after one day, when I want to install microsoft security essential, then it installs but it is not updatable. I want the reason

    If you install MSE, norton or any other program that provides a real-time protection, windows Defender must be turned off.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

    The reason is that you want only one program installed and active on your system that offers protection in real time as two or more can cause conflicts and slowing down your system.

    Say for examle you picked up a well known spyware, and you had both windows defender and MSE running, they would both try and catch it and this would lead to a variety of problems.

    The best would be to install a good antivirus software and turn off and ignore the windows Defender

    * Note that the same streets of wanting 1 also applies to firewalls.  If you choose to intall norton, and the version you install has its own firewall you want to disable the windows firewall.

  • I am running XP with Office 2003. The Office 2007 SP1 is "forced" on me to automatic updates. Should I run the installation?

    Whenever I visited the MS Update site, I was prompted to download the SP1 for Office 2007. I always ignored this suggestion because I run Office 2003. I don't know why I would even be asked to provide this update unless I have versions Express in Visual c#, VB, and Developer Web loaded on my computer. These applications need this update? Should I start the update, or I might do something that is not compatible with my Office 2003?

    Thank you

    Then you'll want to hide.

    1. stop the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > services.msc (enter) > [OK]
    Double-click Automatic Updates > click Stop

    I still say, "If you"solved"the problem of virus/malware in anything other than a wipe/regeneration - it may not be completely fixed or have still a few remaining damage that the probability of fixation is thin votes to zero.»  (In other words - I recommend a format/install). »

    Not only did I always say this, I think you have discovered that it will probably be necessary.

    You might be able to do something with SFC/scannow , or be Windows XP, possibly a repair install might fix things (if you have a Windows XP with the Service Pack 3 installation CD or can integrate a new installation CD for Windows XP SP3).

    SPACE does the work.  I then restarted the update Windows components and then successfully downloaded and installed 9 security updates.

    I understand the fact that you still recommend a format/install. Not having done it would be prudent to see how the operating system is running and if I have any further questions or you feel it is too risky on a computer used to pay bills and perform other necessary transactions. The computer is older and the cost may not be a return value.  I wait your answer before I post any other questions.  I thank you for your time and expertise.

  • How to disable the automatic updates of windows and to update on demand

    At the same time, I had disabled the automatic updates of windows and updated on demand by opening windows update.  Where is the place to activate and deactivate the automatic updates of windows.

    It worked.  Thank you!

    I wasn't able to get automatic updates to download a microsoft windows update.  The fix for microsoft in default mode indicated that he needed to be repaired and that fixed it.  When windows update was used again the update has failed once again.  The fix even that it was then run in aggressive mode and with a recheck has failed to correct the problem.  At each restart, automatic updates took the time to start producing a yellow shield and then pop-up reminders.  So thank you to help us with these questions to disable the automatic updates of windows.

    Thanks for posting the results of your efforts, I don't know they will be read and appreciated.

  • "Database corrupt installation" - discovered after failures repeat the installation of automatic updates of Windows

    We're running out of WinXP SP3.  Apparently, we are unable to install/uninstall anything correctly.  I think it may have something to do with "a basic installation damaged."  I got this error when trying to manually install KB972581 (a security update for 2007 Microsoft Office System).  This could have been caused by running the Windows Installer cleanup utility, I didn't have problems with Office 2007.  We were informed at all by continuing to upgrade with another program issues.

    We daily use Outlook 2007.  Multiple users, so we can't delete it.

    Same thing with KB970895 (update of security for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2) - another failure with the description of the error "Unable to install Windows Installer MSP file".

    Basically, the automatic updates of Windows always fail.  Comprehensive research of these forums, I found and ran the Microsoft FixIt! # 50202, without result.

    How can I fix anything that makes things installation fails?

    I had a similar problem - resolved two things actually. First make sure yu have the latest windows installer engine. Then download the package fails and run interactive mode. This will give you the 'real' error which causes the failure so that you can correct it.

    In my case it was a dependency on another file system that was resolved by running sfc/scannow - it's maybe not the question you... once again, run the full installation package and also to enablehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/223300 logging to track down issues...

  • Sound/audio does not work after automatic update of Windows 8 for the July 12, 2014

    Solving audio problems do not detect a problem.

    When I go to the control panel > hardware & sound > playback, right-click on the device, I get this message:

    "This device is used by another application. Please close all devices... "

    However, I restarted the laptop with no other applications running and I still get the above message.

    It must be linked to the recent update of W8 for 2 days ago that my audio has always worked fine until here. Without having to reinstall all the software, what I can do, as I have not changed anything other than subscribe to automatic update of Windows? (It makes me want to stop the update btw, if the updates affect the normal performance of my laptop).

    A new update for Windows 8 rises to fix this audio problem?

    Welcome to any other measure to solve the problem? -Many thanks.

    It worked for me, you can't find it on your hard drive, you must go to > Control Panel > programs > programs and features-> installed updates. under the microsoft windows list, locate those added on July 12, 2014. RightClick > uninstall the "update for Microsoft Windows (KB2962407)" (let others, simply uninstall it) it invite you to reboot, and you should have sound after reboot. "

  • 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. Firefox came without any of the tabs that were open when the PC went to bed the previous night. I spent an hour looking for what happened to my tabs, without success.

    This has happened

    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.
