    Whenever the Windows Update automatic update Client runs, it significantly slows down my computer.  For this reason, I put automatic updates updated Fridays @ 03:00, so that I'm not on my computer and it should not cause me any hassle during the working day.  However, this is not the case.  It's a Tuesday afternoon and I have wuauclt.exe now works and has downloaded the updates and continues to ask me to install the updates.  It is difficult to run the programs I need for running the job with that.  I've closed several times by the Task Manager: processes tab and it will not be closed.

    Sorry for not responding earlier but I never received a notification of any more responses about this until today .

    My preference would be to make manual updates on the site, so I won't warn me, warn me or come at all.

    As Mike has already said, if your on a domain network, you must ask the Admin on how the system is updated.
    If it isn't and you are the person who updates it, then you have to turn off the automatic updates service and set THE " disable automatic updates. I want to update my computer manually. "

    When you are ready to update, and this includes to restart the system so that files that are used can be replaced, and then start the automatic updates service before either visiting web sites Windows or Microsoft Update.
    Security updates are issued the second Tuesday of each month; No updates for Windows security are issued the 4th Tuesday of each month.

    However, this will prevent the installation of any out of band, critical security updates unless you watch ( the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), search for the Microsoft TechNet security bulletins or the pages of Description of Software Update Services and Windows Server Update Services changes in content for 2010 .

  • Games slow down a computer?

    I played Command and Conquer 4 on my computer very old. It can be played, but the graphics are bad and it is very slow. If I continue to play the computer may crash. So I had planned to play on my new computer. But my parents do not allow that. Reasons are

    1. Games can have viruses.
    2. Viruses can hack into my computer and get information, such as bank accounts. (I installed Bitdefender 2010 IPSec)
    3. Games make my computer unreliable and slow.

    Can you check for me if these reasons are true. I know too many games running at the same TIME will be a slow computer. But what happens if my requirements meet the minimum requirements for the games, it slows down the computer? Also, I defrag and cleaning my PC regularly so do not understand that my computer will do to appear slowly over a short period of time (1 year).

    Hello TechKid.  Feel free to forward this message to your parents *.

    (1) their original CD-ROM or DVD-ROM games will not have the virus.  Back in the olden days where game was on a disk that it was possible that a set of second hand could have been infected, simply because the disks could be written after the fact.  Actually I've ever met.

    (2) a bit, (but still once falsely assume original games of detail will virus), in practice, they are much more wet than that.  Decent anti-malware and ensuring your machine and all the software connected to the internet is updated will solve this problem.

    (3) not true.  While the game is running, they are obviously fewer resources for other things.  But once the game has been closed it will not use all of the system resources.  In regard to making them unreliable, more wrong.

    * It won't do anything, they don't want to play you games on this machine, they will come with any excuse for this purpose.

    Anyway on this system, I think that you should always keep the graphics on their low settings, the graphics card is a budget card, not suitable for games.

  • Creative cloud slows down my computer

    Hello

    Screen Grab 1: Time, I woke up my Mac (09: 28:52)

    Creative-Cloud-1.jpg

    Screen Grab 2: Image of Sync still running an hour and ten minutes after that my computer has woken up!

    When my MAC wakes first, and CC tries to run, it slows down the right of the computer. Trying to run what is slow, but launch anything that connects to the internet (browser/email) gets badly done!

    I checked my activity monitor...

    Creative-Cloud-2.jpg

    Screen Grab 3: Shows the use of the processor (in percentage) where my computer was first wakes up.

    Screen Grab 4: Shows the CPU usage after Firefox and Mail ended launch and the core of the CPU usage is a CC Adobe software.

    Screen Grab 5: Indicates consumption of energy by my computer, new CC is upstairs.

    Screen Grab 6: Is my settings. At the speed of transfer of 100%, I have no chance of any other connection to the internet at startup. 75%-100% during the working day it slows down my computer if I am trying to update the browser, while he was working on a Web site, and CC is something synchronization attempt. I have a 50MB connection.

    I have been informed that sync is sometimes a bit weird if the computer has been stopped during a synchronization. I usually check the blue transfer the arrows are not in the top bar, meaning CC is not synchronized. I also use a HP laptop and it is all too slow there when he wakes up first of all, although not too bad, only about 10 minutes waiting.

    It seems to be a major problem with CC to get IT done by someone to turn off their computer. In order to always try to connect and run more than an hour after the computer has been awakened is ridiculous! It has not always connected (11:09)!

    I just can't use it any more and switch to Dropbox, turning off Sync and just using CC for updating applications. It has the potential to be a great and useful application, but fell short with his excessive CPU and energy consumption. The fact that if you turn it off during a synchronization, he throws his toys out of the pram is bad. People will often have to do, for example work on a train and the connection is lost during synchronization, or they need to close the lid of your laptop to get off the train quickly.

    It took until 11:20 to connect and synchronize, almost 2 hours after my computer started!

    Another issue is he says: 'some files impossible to sync' on the MAC, but the same files on the PC CC are fine? What is everything?

    Creative-Cloud-3.jpg

    "All the files" on the left are the PC this morning. "Some cannot synchronize files" is the MAC this morning, exactly the same files. The files are the "_notes" that produces your product, Dreamweaver. BUT, as you can see from the screenshot below, some "_notes" folders are marked green and some red exclamation points! Why? How the names of file folders to be OK and NOT OK? Fortunately this is an old site, I should remove from CC, I no longer guard _notes' because of this problem.

    Specifications (although I had different MACS with higher specifications and it still happens):

    Mac Mini (late 2014)

    OS X El Capitan 10.11.3

    2.6 GHz Intel Core i5

    8 GB memory

    Iris 1536 MB Intel graphics card

    1 TB Sata Drive (852 GB free space)

    HP Pavilion 17G015NA laptop

    10 64-bit Windows Home

    Intel Core i5

    2.2 GHz

    8 GB memory

    1 TB of disk (816 GB of free space)

    I had a major problem the other day. CC finally synchronized, so I thought and has started working on a site and transferred my files, with the new Foundation 6 scripts. Not realizing he had not really synchronized and the files I'm downloading came from the day before and not the previous night - when I was working on them on my laptop. I had to start my laptop, trying to stop him immediately synchronization, so that I can download the latest files form the previous night, then upload them to my local folder on my Mac. It is unfortunately the only way I know for sure that I have the latest files on each computer. Download them from the server I can't trust what has been synchronized by CC. It surely beats the purpose of the CC, in what it is supposed to allow users to access the same files on each machine. I can't wait for nearly two hours for CC to sync my MAC with what I worked the day before on the HP. It slows down my computer and makes it unusable for about 15-20 minutes.

    Please let me know when you sort Adobe.

  • Flex 2 network slows down the entire network

    I bought a Flex 2 a few weeks ago. Installed the software Office 365 and creative cloud by Adobe. Everything worked well on both networks, I connect to.

    Today, performance on the entire network is now gone to the dogs. At first, I suspected the provider or router so crossed all the routines of standard service (this disconnect, which reboot) again and again. Same face, deadly slow performance of several PC and Mac on the network.

    Then, I hit on the idea to close my Lenovo. Suddenly, network download speed of 2 MB/s and the ping from 2000 MS to more normal speeds returned.

    I restarted the Lenovo a couple of times, from 2, 4 GHz to 5 with the same result.

    At some point when I plugged the Lenovo directly into the modem (part of the diagnosis) direct speed seemed faster.

    Because the router works perfectly with all the other machines and I haven't changed a thing on it, and because the symptoms get carried away on the network when the Lenovo is cut, I can only assume that there is something to do with the Lenovo Flex 2 and how it communicates with the rest of the network.

    I should also add that I tried to plug an ethernet cable to make sure that it wasn't just a wireless thing. Still had the slow performance.

    I'm pulling my hair out over this, if I can't fix it, I can't work (no one in my office will be able to work) and will have to return the machine...

    Any ideas?

    Thank you...

    Thanks for the reply.

    After much pulling hair and analysis where the traffic was, it turns out it was a Microsoft cloud service a too aggressive drive that decided to download dozens of large files at the same time instead of in series. This excessive series of connections slowed down the rate of time and transfer of ping everything on the network. Disable updates for OneDrive during periods of work seems to have solved the problem.

    That said, working on this, I see that updates from Lenovo is continually a significant overhead. Do not understand why it takes so resources...

    Thanks again for the response...

  • Installation of MS Antivirus Essentials - will slow down my computer?

    I want to install Microsoft Security Essentials on my PC at home only.

    I currently have McAfee Anti Virus Plus, which is effective but often slows down my computer because it downloads the updates and tests.
