Continuous Internet from Windows Update hard/activity, disk activity

Hello MS community.

Please can someone let me know if they have the same problems I am experiencing, and if there is a fix?

Since an update of Windows in the first fortnight of may my numere is constantly dipping into the Internet and hard drive.  I know it's access to the internet, as when I turn wireless off activity ceases.

Concerned about what is transmitted and wear and tear on the hard drive.

I am completely protected viruses and that you run some malware scans, but nothing comes.

I have 2 laptops being affected by this.  I'm not a technical person, so don't know where to start, outside to pay an exorbitant sum to PC world to fix!

Please can someone shed some light on this.

Thanks in advance.

Kevin

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

  1. What exactly is the problem with the hard drive?
  2. What anti-virus is installed in the system?

The problem can occur for various reasons, including incorrect TCP/IP settings configured, firewalls third of anti-virus programs blocking the connection, or due to bad the advanced sharing settings. So, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the system is able to connect to the wireless network to constantly.

Method 1:

Run the network troubleshooting and check if it helps. Run the troubleshooter from network first and then test your Internet connection.

Open the Network Troubleshooter by hitting on any fly in the Dashboard screen, quilting Search(or if you use a mouse, pointing to the top right of the screen, move the mouse down and then clicking search), saving troubleshooting network in the search box, touching or clicking on settingsand then by typing or clicking on identify and fix network problems.

If the problem exists, try the next method.

Method 2:

One of the components of the Internet connection on your computer is a package of instructions called TCP/IP. Sometimes she is damaged or corrupted, you can try to reset the TCP/IP stack and check.

See the help article to reset the Internet (TCP/IP) Protocol.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/299357

If the problem exists, try the next method.

Method 3:

Temporarily disable the security software and check if it helps.

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 do not 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 during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Cannot connect to internet after Windows Update

    I was not able to connect to the internet after windows updates 7 of 14 October 2010, unless I have to restore the system to October 13.

    Hi jlm00926,

    ·        Update that you installed before the problem?

    ·        Are you able to connect to the internet properly now?

    You can set up your computer in a clean boot state. Subsequently, download & install the update manually from the Microsoft Download Center.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

    Clean boot will start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs and helps eliminate software conflicts.

    The following link has steps showing how to perform the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: Please make sure that the computer is configured to start as usual according to step 7 of the article: how to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • No Internet after windows updated August 18.

    No Internet after windows updated on August 18, to return from vacation.

    System Restore to 8 August which worked yesterday and restored internet, but when you sign in today update windows automatically installed and once again no internet no access. Computer won't let me restore of the system now well I tried different dates - said the system restore could not replace the file (c: Windows) with the original copy of the restore point - an unspecified error has occurred in 0x80071a90.  Still no internet access.  Any ideas please?

    The KB2705219 update could be the cause and uninstall that solved the problem for some users.

    But...

    In another thread [my computer today installed windows 7 updates, but my internet has been lost.] But the network is visible. [what caused this?] a user has identified this notice - McAfee

    Some customers may experience a loss of network connectivity and/or errors in McAfee Security Center after a recent update

    While it remains the case that uninstall Win7 KB2705219 solved the problem for at least two users update, you might want to consider the McAfee fix, as appropriate. At least two users also reported having removed then reinstalled McAfee and their systems were back up & working properly afterwards.

    I have McAfee, but the connection has started working again on its own so I thought I was clear of problems.  However, when I checked it says he was doing routine checks the updates in vain when I told it to do a manually.  So stick with McAfee without following their abduction - Reinstall procedure would have upgraded my PC at risk by not updated.  Actually, I removed and then installed Microsoft Security Essentials rather & my answer IE is faster I knew it [even though I had the Add-ons McAfee disabled for centuries].  My home network has survived without any new replacement set - firewall Windows just took the right settings without any complaint.

    I had to run the MCPRT deletion a few times before and it caused a problem with the license if the PC was not connected to the internet during the abduction. Due cat of McAfee support reset their files in order to allow the relocation-reactivation. Here is their link cat - McAfee - media contains the link to the cat

  • "Windows could not get a list of devices from windows update"

    I've been looking for a solution for several weeks now. Many people seem to have the same problem. But no one has yet been able to solve the problem.

    First of all, let me clarify the problem explicitly:

    In the Add Printer Wizard: "Windows could not get a list of devices from windows update"

    Specifically, the problem is that Windows Update *broken* in the Add Printer Wizard. (Windows Update, otherwise works fine. But not in the Add Printer Wizard.)

    Find a workaround to add the printer, which mostly does not work what I have read, would be only to solve the secondary problem of the addition of this printer. Except, it would not solve the main problem which is Windows Update *broken* in the Add Printer Wizard.

    Details:

    I have been setting up three new PC running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I had to add an old LaserJet 5if connected to a former print server. I created the IP Standard port, then clicked on the "Windows Update" button to update the list of printers. It worked on the first perfectly, as it has in the past with other computers to this place. Then I started to work on the other two at the same time. I'm lazy and started to perform several tasks such as installation of MS Office, Security Essentials (less than 10 units at this office, BTW), etc. while the Add Printer Wizard was updating the list of devices. One of these things, I can't remember which, required a reboot.

    And that is where I am certain that things broke. Restart has occurred while the two computers are in the middle of the list of loading from Windows Update System. I not interrupted the first PC. But the other two were interrupted and now they can't get a current list of Windows Update.

    I tried the FixIt tool at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 . He says he detects a problem and claims to have fixed. Except, it isn't - little matter how many times I run.

    Ideally, the FixIt tool above must be updated or a new tool must be created by Microsoft to resolve this particular problem. Type of the error in any search engine, and you will see this question from several years back. It's happens often enough to justify the creation of Microsoft or update a FixIt tool.

    Any thoughts would be helpful.

    I have exactly and that no ONE reads what you say or what other people say everywhere. Only the upgrade Assistant printer does not... The update of the Printer Wizard do not work. Windows Update works fine.

    Ronday,
    You are right that if few people read what they respond to these forums. That's the kind of non-response, I found everywhere on the Internet about this issue. (The value of the community is sometimes over-rated, if you ask me). Apparently, using characters fat is not enough to focus on the fact that the issue is not with the printer compatibility since, as I said clearly A) this printer has installed fine several times in the past with the same OS and in the same office and B) that I clearly THE issue is that updated the list of devices , in the Printer Wizard, *Do NOT*!  
    However, I came across a suggestion on another site. I haven't had the chance to try it at the location of this particular customer - I'll do it later this month. Here is the link to the suggestion for you to try as well. Scroll to the end to ignore any non-response:
    'Michel' made the following suggestion:

    Hi, most likely caused by one installation failed (not the Wizard), you need to do a bit of detective work, lets first try the easy solution: -.
    1. go to start, run and type regedit.
    2. go to the registry editor for
    HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\current version\installer\inprogress.
    3. click the inprogress key and note the name of the file contained on the
    right to databasepath (must be .msi extension).
    4 rename inprogress oldinprogress.
    5. close the registry editor.
    6. open my computer.
    7. navigate to C:\Windows\Installer (Installer file is hidden by)
    par_defaut, views folder check "show files and folders" also uncheck "Hide protected system files", do not forget to cancel it when you're done)) and rename the file noted in step 3.
    8 restart the computer and try the installation again.

  • Windows could not get a list of devices from Windows Update. Try again later

    Original title: Windows 7 list printers cannot be updated
    I installed a windows 32 bit 7 OS several weeks ago on my workstation Futitsu-Siemens and followed the instructions on the HP Wizard to try to install the HP Deskjet 990c printer driver for my HP 6122 printer. According to the HP Wizard, the only way to do is to update the list of printers by clicking on the "Windows Update" button in the dialog "add a printer".  I clicked on this button several dozen times in recent weeks, and every time I get the message "Windows could not get a list of devices from Windows Update. Try again later.

    I installed a windows 32 bit 7 BONES of several months on my HP laptop and the printer list updated without a hitch to include many more HP printers that are on my computer Futitsu-Siemens including HP 990c.

    What should I do?

    Here's what I found my system which is an Z210 64 HP running windows7. I just updated my Bios to v1.35

    What I did to get the update to work once and what I have to do each time to add another printer by using the Update window.

    1. open (Ctrl-Alt-Del) Task Manager

    2. click on tab of abuse, then Services button (bottom-right)

    3. under the name to find "Windows Update".

    4. right click "Windows Update" and select stop. do not close

    5. open the Exploper window and browse to C:\Windows

    6 delete the folder "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution".

    7. go back to served, right click on "Windows Update", and then select start

    Now the "Windows Update" button should work. For me I have to do every time I have to install a printer that requires me to use windows update

    Looking for what casues the error

    at the bottom of a file named WindowUpdate.log located in C:\Windows after that I get the message "Windows was unabel to...» "I have this text below.

  • DJ 6122 installation: Windows could not get a list of devices from Windows Update

    Try to load the printer driver for HP DeskJet 6122 on Win7 64-bit (Intel i7 - 2640M). All online sources, including HP say is another driver for DJ 990c driver required and is available by clicking on "Windows Update" in the dialog box, install printer driver. In doing so, always get message "Windows could not obtain the list of devices from Windows Update, please try again later".

    These steps solved the problem:

    1. open (Ctrl-Alt-Del) Task Manager

    2. click on tab of abuse, then Services button (bottom-right)

    3. under the name to find "Windows Update".

    4. right click "Windows Update" and select stop. do not close

    5. open the Exploper window and browse to C:\Windows

    6 delete the folder "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution".

    7. go to Manager tasks then Services, right click on "Windows Update", then select start.

    Then, return to the add printer function.   Be patient, it will take several minutes.  You will find that the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder has been rebuilt.

    See this related thread in the Hardware Win7 forum-online http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-7-driver-for-hp-deskjet-6122/a70f56dd-5be1-4ad8-bba9-701a09f8392c

    Once again, good luck.

  • They will continue to offer Windows updated for Windows 8?

    I was wondering if MS will always have updates for Windows 8. I have not updated to 8.1 and have noticed that I didn't update for a month. Anyone know if they are to stop these completely updates?

    Thank you

    In fact, this should answer your question, unless by updates, you're talking about something completely different from Windows updates?

    If you look at the chart I posted, you can see updates for Windows 8 (NOT 8.1) are ending January 9, 2018. Updates to 8.1 are ending January 10, 2023.

    Kind regards

    Patrick
