Awakened from his sleep system update Windows Media Center

Hello

Directly to the question:

I have a problem that of a regular windows media center update wake my computer from sleep every day.
This update can be found as a scheduled task in Task Scheduler. The problem is, that it cannot be edited or deleted.

If I try and edit the task by unchecking the choice of her "wake the computer to run this task", I get an error message:

An error has occurred for task mcupdate_scheduled. Error message: support for transactions in the specified resource manager is not started or has been closed because of an error

If I try and I remove the task completely, I get a similar error message:

Support for transactions in the specified resource manager is not started or has been closed because of an error

I already tried the following suggestions to resolve this problem:

Fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\ cmd break-in.

Removal of the C:\Windows\System32\config\TxR transaction logs

These did not work.

I guess Microsoft is not willing to pay my extra electricity bills? ;)

  • Windows Media Center has stopped updating the lists Guide for Windows 7

    Windows 10 will go out the next Wednesday July 29, 2015. I have Windows 7 and I have technical problems with the Guide in Windows Media Center lists. This isn't updated Guide lists and I wonder if this problem is related to the upgrade of Windows 10?

    I called a technician to answer Microsoft desktop and the technician fixed my computer errors. Unfortunately, he could not fix this problem. Even though I always reset and auto update of listings in the Guide, the result will prove be the same with "no data."

    Windows Media Center has given me many error messages:

    Windows Media Center

    "Windows Media Center has corrected a problem with your registration data and will download the Guide even once. You should review your records to make sure they are always planned properly. »

    Failed to download

    "The new TV configuration data could not be downloaded. Existing data, if any, will be used as you continue by configuring the TV signal. »

    "Downloadable TV Program Guide listings are not available due to previous failures of download. For more information, right-click on the Windows Media Center system tray icon and open Windows Media Center update log. Select back to try again. You may be able to get the TV show lists, if they are available. »

    I can watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center and manually record TV shows, but it is difficult for me to record TV shows without ads Guide on Windows Media Center.

    Note to update (as of August 2, 2015):

    The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for Windows Media Center Guide ads was already programmed by zap2it until July 21. After July 21, zap2it is no longer can update the lists Guide for Windows Media Center.

    July 23, Rovi Corporation's new Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for Windows Media Center Guide ads.

    From 23 July, listings in Windows Media Center Guide is running back to normal for Windows 7 users.

    My Guide Panel is equipped with a selector more [on the listings in the Guide] where is the expiration date. I hope that Microsoft does not support Windows 7 WMC.

    Please don't waste your time trying to solve the WMC, it is the expiration of the license that is causing the problem. I know it's frustrating.

    On the other hand, is - can anyone say with certainty that WMC is available on Windows 10? No charge for the upgrade to Windows 7?

    The way I see it, not providing the function of key in W7 WMC guide is motivation upgrading to W10, assuming that WMC is available.

    Hopefully Microsoft will give us the fix for WMC in W7.

  • Windows Media Center Guide not updated lists of TV of Zap2It passed tuesday.21.07.15

    Overview: Windows Media Center (WMC) is provided to ads of TV via the WMC Guide, of Zap2It.  If you go on the website of Zap2It TV listings *, about 2 weeks ago from future TV ads.  When the WMC Guide is set to day, & functions correctly, these same 2 weeks of TV programs are downloaded into WMC.  If we could use the Zap2It site to schedule the recording of television programs, then we would not need the WMC Guide to download.

    It is very early Sunday asof this announcement; the WMC Guide didn't really update for about 9 days... There's only TV ads through Tuesday, in about 3 days.  The update of the WMC Guide seems to work fine, it connects with the site or the source or whatever/where he gets the Guide of... but they say, "The PSE Listing is already up to date", even if, obviously, is NOT "up-to-date".  I'm getting now, 'you only have 3 days of registration!, you must update the Guide!' scare-messages every time I go to the WMC, and I click on update the Guide, but all also when I manually run it, just as when WMC runs automatically update Guide, it isn't actually updated!

    To be clear: I use Win7Pro64bit; -ALL-all the updates, Windows software & if not, are daily checked & constantly kept up to date; There has been no changes to the computer, & it works like a dream; WMC works the same, the update of the WMC Guide works exactly the same, the only exception being that, "that the EPG Listings package is already updated" thing, when he has actually updated the WMC Guide.

    So Please do not post those standard, boilerplate answers for updating Windows & or by disabling caches & or such other hoax explosive...  The problem is almost certainly with the Microsoft, Windows, WMC, Zap2It interface.

    You can go on the site Web of Zap2It * yourself!, go!, see for yourself!, the next 2 weeks of TV programs are here!...

    ... then, why are not those TV ads- already & always present -are actually downloaded to WMC?, why isn't the WMC Guide updated?

    ... Thank you!

    Hello hank1111,

    You can see this thread, including the recent responses, the bottom of page 3 I think:

    I'm NOT an expert on these things, but so are ' twisted my arm, I'd suggest the possibility of you as I did to RW:

    «If you still have your Windows OS CD maybe you could try to remove & then reinstalling Windows Media Center entirely?...» I don't know there's a way to do it, but you do not want explicit instructions of any part/whatever ' one who knows what they have everything.  Also, if it is possible to do a total removal/uninstall & reinstall, - vs - a sort of "repair", I'd do the full thing, that simple "repair" can let WMC Guide EPG old and outdated files that could bring you a right of return to the same sorry state of affairs! »

  • Windows Media Center Guide - no data

    After doing an update, windows media center TV guide display more data... said 'No data available' went to settings, put in place the guide... guide downloads, but will not display the show there. ????

    What day?

    If this value is the cause might find you it under Add/Remove programs? If, then uninstall it and check again the question.

    You can also "Run Setup Again" [Open WMC > tasks > settings > General > Windows Media Center Setup > run Setup again]

    You can also try the system restore.

    Select any restore point when everything worked well.

    Hi herbyderbydo,

    1A what difficulties have you tried Microsoft?

    2. does come with any specific channel?

    This problem occurs if the process of updating Windows Media Center (Mcupdate.exe) cannot access the Windows Media Center data store.

    You'll need to rebuild the Windows media center data store and check if it works.

    Run the tool fixit here automatically to rebuild the data store.

    You can also try manually as follows:

    1.

    Exit any running instance of Windows Media Center.

    2.

    Delete the file mediaCenterDataStore.db. By default, this file is located in the following location:

    %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.DB

    To remove the file, follow these steps:

    one.

    Click Startand then click run

    b.

    In the Open box, type run , and then click OK
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click continue

    c.

    In the Open box, type %systemdrive%\programdata\microsoft\ehome , and then click OK .

    d.

    In the details pane, right-click right mediacenterdatastore.db and then click Remove .

    e.

    Click Yes to confirm that you want to move the Mediacenterdatastore.db file to the trash.

    3.

    Start Windows Media Center.

    If the previous step fails, check the event viewer to determine the cause of the problem and post here

    What are the information in event logs? (Event Viewer)

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer

    Let us plug in which is also used by the channel causing the media center stopped by right clicking on the channel.

    I hope this helps!

  • Internet TV is not available in Windows Media Center

    I upgraded four machines to Windows 7. Two of them were clean installs and Netflix and Internet TV options are available. However, two of the machines made an upgrade on the spot and Netflix and Internet TV options are not available. Is there an update available so that I can update Windows Media Center on these machines? If this is not the case, how can I get that option?

    Thank you
    Bill

    The following has worked for me in the Canada:

    Open Control Panel, select clock, language and region

    Select the location to change and change in the United States

    Select the administration tab and change settings English (United States) system locale and save changes

    then delete the contents of the c:\programdata\ehome folder (I moved content in a folder temporary everything first just in case...)

    Launch Media Center, download updates, shut it down after receiving notification of download completed (if your not sure its finished, you can check the Media Center icon in the notification bar, if it has an arrow toward the low point over-buried on it, its download yet)

    restart the Media Center and select TV and Internet TV so the Guide should be there.

    Note some of the programming of a regional protection based on the ip address, so some channels will be always blocked

    I've read other messages indicating Internet TV once was performed for the first time, you can change the settings of the control panel you actual location, but I did not and does not check what I prefer to let my settings as USA because I think faster using the SAE measures instead of the metric.

  • Vista wakes up from his sleep by himself

    As the title says, my vista pc wakes up from his sleep by himself. Normally, he'll sleep for 10-15 minutes before you wake up. At other times, it is random and wake up in 2 minutes or 30 minutes. I looked in the forums of countless and tried the suggested solutions, but can not solve the problem. The only thing I found to keep him asleep is disconnected the network cable from the PC or unplug the network cable from the cable modem. I suspect some service or program he wakes up, but I have no idea of that. Here's what I tried:

    I used powercfg command-line command to see which devices have been enabled to wake up the pc. They were only the mouse & keyboard. They are all two peripheral cables usb. I unplugged each separately before you put the pc to sleep and he will still be awake. I use "last_wake" but I just get '0' and in the event viewer it says "wake source unknown.

    I made sure "allow this computer to turn off this device to save power" has been verified for the network adapter in the power management tab. I also disabled the option in the advanced NIC Properties. I also disabled it in the bios. After having done that and the pc wakes up is still what intrigues me the most when I don't know if I unplugged the NIC in the pc go to sleep for hours until I decided to wake up. It is wired not wireless.

    I have that 'sleep' lit. There are no hybrid sleep or hibernation available mode.

    It is vista business so I don't have a Media Center. Media Player is not enabled for sharing files on the network or to pick them up. Media sharing is turned off, and it's only pc's on my network. Also just in the 'media settings' box is configured to allow the pc to go to sleep in power options.

    I checked the Task Scheduler for tasks that can be set for 'wake up this computer' so it can work, but only one of them has this option. It's for multiple monitors and I unchecked the box and the pc wakes up still. I checked for hidden tasks, and the only one I found that could be the culprit was MS RSS. However, after the removal of this pc still wakes up.

    I don't have a sidebar option.

    Windows Update is set on notify me when updates are available.

    I also did a msconfig & selected 'selective startup '. I have uncontrolled startup programs. The pc is still awake.

    Tried to start the pc in safe mode, but there is no option of sleep available to test if it wakes you up from his sleep in safe mode.

    Last but not least is when the pc is wake up he's going to sleep again within 2 minutes.

    As you can see I tried everything I could think of without much success. Can someone tell me something again or that I have not tried?

    I have no idea what you're trying to do, but here's what I found my problem. I have a motherboard intel. Although I disabled "wake on lan" both vista & bios there was yet a 3rd parameter I was not aware of. He was set apart from the bios or vista. It is a framework of intel in the 'management engine interface' if I remember correctly. It is accessible after the bios option and before loading windows. Once I turned it off my pc stop, out of sleep. So, if you have a motherboard intel, then that is your problem.
