• 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.

I'm running Mavericks and just download Firefox 31.

  We advice you to download and install the full version in this case.

• Satellite A100: webcam works does not for windows live messenger on Vista

  I recently lost my picture when working for video calls in windows live messenger, the sound of two ways and I can see them, but no one can see me.
  I also bought an external webcam, and it does not work either.

  When I go to Device Manager it says that the two cams don't work properly.
  I tried to update the drivers but they are up-to-date.
  I wonder if it's a problem of Windows live or Toshiba.
  I use Windows Vista Home Premium and the new version of messenger.

  > I also bought an external webcam and it doesn t work either.
  > When I go to Device Manager it says that the two cams don't work properly

  For me, it looks like a windows system problem.
  Usually two webcams operate independently from each other and so I don t think that it is a webcam driver problem I think that it s windows or windows live messenger problem
  Maybe something confused keys registry or files may be some updates to update or similar

  In your case, I recommend you to uninstall the software of webcam software, internal external webcam and the windows live messenger.
  Then, you must clean the BONES and the registry tool like CCLeaner cleaning, for example. It the free tool.

  After this, reinstall the Chicony webcam software and test functionality without installation of windows live messenger.
  If the webcam will be functions then you could install the windows live messenger again.

• 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.

  However, I have no problem with him crushing my Vista machine, when it is run. Vanguard, I play full-flow, I have Seti@Home running on all 4 cores with 100% of the time restriction, generally have to play music, and he has not brought my game stopped when he ran the updates.
