horribly slow automatic update download speeds.

Hello.. whenever I leave autoupdate download the updates of windows he thinks I need on my laptop, download speeds falls to the worse than dialup speed, even if im on a cable modem.  theres a forum 'out there' that proposes to add 207.46.252.185 global.ds.microsoft.com to my host files because im more probably will download from sites non-US mirrors? will this work? IM on xp sp3 on a dell c640 laptop. is it possible to stop a download that works already automatically in the background so I can manually download the updates needed? Thanks for the help.

  • Automatic update of windows is running. Insofar as it took 2 hours to download 26%. What is the problem?

    I'm under the professional version of windows xp with service pack 3. Who can help?

    Too many updates, too many people who need updates.

    Forget it for a day and if nothing happens within 24 hours, and then possibly manually scan.

    Nothing to worry about right now.

    When you go to shut the computer, what are updates have been made, will be installed at this time here. This happens when the automatic updates downloaded updates, but not all updates to date you have requested or for automatic download.

  • After a recovery, I can not download the SP3 for XP Home Edition and automatic updates do not work without it.

    After making a recovery, my Automatic Updates download updates and SP3 will not download. The error message says that I need to download SP3 and tried about 20 times without success. I have Windows XP Home Edition. The SP3 update was on the computer as it came out and was still on the computer at the time that I made the recovery. I have Webroot and Windows anti-virus.

    I did not stand alone Setup because it indicated that it was for computer scientists and and download on several computers.

    This warning from Microsoft can be ignored. If this also fails, try please report and the stand-alone Installer. I suggest saving the Setup program and then run it from the save location once the download is finished, this will avoid having to download it again. The SP3 installation may take some time according to the PC on which it is installed. 30 minutes is longer than some I've done but less than others.

    To determine if SP3 is still doing, looking at the disk activity light and listen to the disk activity. If the light blinks and you can hear sounds from the disk drive, it is likely that SP3 is still what he needs. You can also start the Task Manager before starting installation (via ctrl-alt-del) and monitor the process of CPU consumption on the process tab to see if things are still active.

    "When I try to manually install SP3, I get two windows.

    My assumption is that you're trying through Windows updates, if this is not the case please can you explain exactly what you do?

  • What happened to my system, the automatic updates has been interrupted.

    It was September 28, 2009. I was surfing the net and 24 updates automatic updates downloaded - I think - and updated my genuine Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium OS when my connection and I was disconnected. The update, then stopped to 68% or something... After that, I turned off my laptop. While I stop, the updates INSTALLED themselves so I just let it happen. Then after that I turned on my laptop again. But instead to display the log on screen, it showed a dialogue (with the same background as the log on screen) who says:

    «Configuring updates: step 1 of 3 XX % (2/3, 3/3)»
    Please don't turn off your computer.

    . on the third phase (3 of 3) he has just reached 92% then showed another dialogue box "Shutting Down". After that it just rebooted and the process goes on again and again. Now I can't connect to my laptop. What can I do?
    I do not reformat... Help, please... the recovery is safe?

    I have a MSI X 310 for computer pc laptop. with integrated Windows Vista operating system.

    Try to start the computer in safe mode and check if installation is complete. To start in SafeMode to restart the computer and keep pressing the F8 key. Once you see the safe mode option select it and press ENTER.

    Once you're in safe mode, you try to restore system to a previous date when the computer was working fine.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    4. click on finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Access the link below for more information about the system restore.

  • Vista 32-bit Home Pemium does not start after the automatic update. Crashes 90% during step 3 of the configuration of update.

    Started to start for the first time today, and after half an hour of PC was still at the stage of configuration update 3 to 90%. Tried to restore the last good configuration without success. IE 9 has been installed yesterday and I rebooted a couple of times very well. I guess an automatic update downloaded all night is the problem.

  • After the mistake of automatic updates 'there was a problem loading windows.

    OT: Error loading Windows.

    Error loading Windows, it's where my problems began. Windows was its automatic update downloads and when he finished and my computer says to restart when it restarted I got the message 'there was a problem loading of windows', and that's where it ended. For three days I would continue to try to restart my computer, and I had the same thing. Windows would not be responsible.

    So, I did a refresh, or everything what he called where he was supposed to completely refresh Windows without my lose all my files, but I have to re - install programs. It took forever for that to work, but he finally did and my computer was back to Windows 8 and when I went to the Windows store to download Windows 8.1 told me that I had to first download and install the updates. From that moment nothing works. It finally downloaded 123 updates up-to-date, but when he tried to install it like configuration updates do not turn off your computer. It would get 12% full and just stand there, literally for hours. If I turn off the computer and try to start again he would go immediately to the configuration updates, 12% complete and even once, just to stay there. Then he got to ' default configuration windows updates returning changes do not turn off your computer. " Now he sits there for hours. I tried turning stop then restart and it goes immediately to the failure message and returning change and just sits.

    What I'm doing, I've been without this computer for three days. I'm on my mac now, but my personal computing is done on the pc that will not start. Windows is undesirable. Someone help me please. I got so frustrated that I am about to go out and just buy a new computer.

    Help!

    If it was my computer, I would do a factory reset is in mint condition, only install the required update, KB2871389 (download links above), then immediately install the update 8.1 and the remaining plots.

    After these 4 things, the only thing I would do is then to save a system image backup so you never have to repeat these steps.

  • Why my application download speed is so slow

    Update of my application and download speed is so slow so even a 50 MB app take me about half an hour to complete the update

    There are many factors that could affect this speed Wi - Fi or cellular, servers, etc.. If you were to explain in more detail, we might be able to help.

    Try restarting your router and your iPhone.

  • Updated from Apple x download speed

    I tried to update my iPhone a month 6 this morning (because iTunes told me that it was a new version of the iOS).  I chose to download and I got an estimate of 38 minutes.  After about 15 minutes, I was up to about half of the remaining files and 21 minutes left.  I am away from my computer (Mac Mini, OS, iTunes, etc.) and I got a message that the download could not be not done, no reason why.  I restarted the download and got an estimate of 17 hours to download.  I started the download anyway and is now to show that it is actually downloaded (increase in MB) download, but the estimate of the remaining time is now in more than 22 hours and goes upward instead of down.  Also noticed that although there is a download past (from any site) my Wired Apple mouse scrolling works only in the way down, using any application, not only of Safari.  After a download is complete, he returned to normal.  BTW, there are no other devices not connected to the internet, with the exception of a Mac Mini AND I live in the country where there is no 'interference' from other devices, there are very few people on my ISP connection speed issue exists only when downloading updates on Apple's site (streams Netflix etc. fine and speedtest shows more than 10 Mbps.  What is going on?

    The Internet is also called the World Wide Web for a reason. Each intersection where web threads meet is a major Internet connection where traffic can build up and slow down your download. Or a web wire could break causing the Internet redirect download packages around this break. In other words when your Internet slows down it just didn't say where the slowdown is or what is the cause. Maybe that it's Apple, maybe it's an Exchange along the way. The wire coming from your House or apartment is perhaps the problem.

    All I know is, like you, sometimes my downloads are fast and other times they are not.

  • Automatic updates is stuck, includes most of it resources, is not download the updates (windows xp) & how to use FixIt

    Automatic updates is stuck and includes most of the computing resources, does not download updates (windows xp).

    After restarting a couple of times and the computer almost melt it finally resolved itself but would like to know how to solve/speed "constipation" where it would happen again.

    Have automatic updates set in place to be notified, but not to download or install before you have manually committed.  Launched the download but then icon taskbar disappeared and cannot cancel downloads when the computer started to overheat.  Restarted.

    East went to the Microsoft Update Web site, but got stock without ever generating the list of updates.  Restarted.

    Went to link to FixIt for this type of problem and it just downloaded WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab and indicated that nothing was available to open this type of file.  Should a FixIt application be installed first?  He is yet to provide suggestions on how to proceed.

    Aversion to disable the automatic updates if would like more information on how to have a greater mastery of the process that it hogs computer and interfere with the realization of planned work.

    Kind regards.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I agree that it is not dust on the fan - read my response above.

    As I said above, I have concluded that the solution to the problem of automatic updates are unruly must all just use to be notified when updates are available, but then go on the site of Microsoft Updates and make the download / installation of the updates from there.  Doing it this way is much less likely to cause problems and offer better control of the user.  Once Microsoft Updates ends the taskbar icon disappears until the next time updates are available.
