    Hello

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial140.html

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  • a kind of automatic update suddenly without warning started to close all the documents I was working on, rebooted and lost all the changes I had made in the past three hours

    I've worked hard for three hours in the middle of the night, made extremely dfficult work on several Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. at the same time - the kind of work that you can do if you're sure not not to be interrupted. All of a sudden a few (probably Windows) update began to close the files one by one, "don't turn off your computer" was the message.
    I waited. It restarts, but then I realized all of work my three hours had disappeared. The files are still there, but in their unchanged form. How is it you lose nothing if your battery runs out and you can restore the files, that you deliberately deleted, and there is a permanent record of each tiny websearch? However, Windows can come in the night and boldly to destroy three hours of irreplaceable forced labor without warning! I won't ever be able to replace it.

    Set the automatic update process so that you can control if the updates to download and install.

    And, as a general rule, always save files regularly while you work.

  • automatic updates has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    last week after a failed installation of avg 9 (incomplete) the computer has worked well. two days after that it gave me an error that Windows could not start due to a "hard or software change. as well as some speak of him cut for unknown reasons (which means that I hit the off button) because safe mode would not even run (I'd get a list of processes to the bottom of the list and they would arrest) we had to get the computer fixed.

    She came back and I turn it on and this alert appears that the "automatic updates" contains an error and must close. When I hit send, it returns minutes later. If I hit send, is the same thing.
    What happened and what this guy are doing on my computer? Was this service pack 3? I can't copy paste the journal because it is an XML file and there will be the tags of XML in it.

    This is the error code
    AppName: wuauclt.exe AppVer: 5.4.3790.5512 ModName: wuauclt.exe
    ModVer: 5.4.3790.5512 Offset: 00014154

    By various people, I thought it is very bad

    When there was the problem of norton (would not go beyond the home screen where you can choose users) and he is home, I do not have this new error.

    If you're very lucky, what follows will focus on your problems. If not, you have to find a better 'computer man,' who knows what he did (not the Geek Squad or others), or pay for a new computer.

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

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

    3. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    4. use the FixIt (aggressive mode) on this page to reset the Windows Update components: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

    5 download/install Microsoft Security Essentials (application free anti-virus & AntiSpyware) & reboot: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx

    Note: Install Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) instead of AVG, at least for now, please. MSE updates through Windows Update, so it's going to be a very good way to see if the Windows Update/automatic updates works now.
