Cannot install the updates, receive error message: automatic updates has been disabled by the administrator, but I don't.

Original title: How can I, as an administrator, turn on automatic updates, whenever I try, I get an error message saying that automatic updates has been disabled by the administrator.  I didn't do it, then?

Question stands as is.

Hello

 

1. have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

2. What antivirus application is installed on the computer?

3. What are the different user accounts on the computer?

This problem occurs if Windows Update has been disabled by one of the following settings:

· Group Policy

· System policy
· Registry

I suggest you follow these methods and check.

Method 1: Perform the clean boot and try to install the updates.

To do this, follow the steps in this link:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

NOTE: Once you check the functionality, follow the suggestions under steps to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state.

 

Method 2: Try to turn on the auto update by following the steps in the link below.

How to configure automatic updates by using Group Policy or of registry settings

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/328010

Registry warning: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 322756

How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

 

Method 3: Turn off the antivirus application and try to download the updates and check.

 

Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

 

Method 4: Perform a full scan of the computer using the following antivirus applications.

Microsoft Safety Scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Malicious software removal tool: http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx

Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

 

I hope this helps!

    Method 1:

    You can perform a security analysis and check if there are viruses or malware present. Check out the link below to run the scan and check if this helps-

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Method 2:

    Also I suggest you perform a SFC scan and check. To Perform a Scan SFC -

    a. click Start, click programs, on Accessoriesprincipally made, right click guestand then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow

    b. type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    c. a message indicating that "the system scan will start. Be patient, because the analysis may take some time

    d. If all files require a SFC replace will replace them. Hopefully though you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

    e. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

    Hi Gary,.

    What virus protection software is installed on the system?

    I suggest you temporarily disable antivirus software (and any other security such as anti-malware software, etc.) and the firewall on the computer and see if that fixes the problem.

    Note: Make sure that you enable the antivirus software, other security and firewall after the test programs.

    If you still experience the problem, you could get in contact with Apple support for further assistance.

    Hi Phillord,

    one) get you any specific error code?
     
    (b) which edition of Windows Vista you are using?
     
    So it may happen that your computer is a 64-bit computer and you try to install a 32-bit game that may not be compatible and so display an error message.
     
     
    However the AOE Conquerors is compatible with windows Vista.

    Follow the steps and check if that helps

    Step 1:

     
    Temporarily disable any security software and then try to install the game, follow the steps mentioned below
     

    Note: Allow all security software after you perform the troubleshooting steps.

    Step 2:

    Turn off the User Account Control (UAC) and then try to install the games.

    Access this link to turn off UAC: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off

    Step 3:

     
    If the advice above does not help, try to run the game in compatibility mode and check if it works.
