  A box on my computer guard popping up saying "microsoft windows search protocol host has been closed". This box appears almost every minute on my computer and it's driving me insanee! Someone please tell me how to make it stop.

  Hi jackierae,

  1. what changes were mde on your computer before the problem?
  2. don't you also get an error with the message code?

  I would like you to do the following to check if the problem persists.

  Step 1:

  Check that the search service Windows is started and set to automatic.

  a. go to start > Control Panel
  b. Administrative Services > Services and scroll to Windows Search and double click it.
  c. make sure that it is set to automatic

  Step 2:

  I would have you run SFC scan to check whether the problem is related to the missing or corrupted system file.

• Micorsoft windows search filter host uses 3g of ram and slows down the computer to a crawl.

  search filter host started running after the updates and it slowed my laptop to a crawl.   Why is it turning?  And that fact?

  Running Vista on the HP hdx laptop.  RAM 4g dual-core

  It is probably rebuild the search Index (maybe called something in one of the updates for this action) - Although it could do other things as well (it's hard to tell).  You can do this finish faster in general by reducing the number of file types or sites included in the Index (Start/Control / Panel / Indexing Options / Advanced)- but the file types and locations are not included in basic research (it's a compromise).  Some people say that excluding files .xml help (especially if you have a big disco).

  If this does not solve the problem (or you're stuck with it running and it will not be closed) Download Process Explorer http://download.cnet.com/Process-Explorer/3000-2094_4-10223605.html and see which fits all the CPU usage - it should provide more information than Manager and helps focus in spots on the problem.

  The problem may be with the updates (or one of the updates).  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started (before installing updates without doubt).  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates (but be careful, because if the issue is resolved, then one of these probably caused updates and you do not want to recreate the problem).

  For more information on the updates (which seems to be the source of your problem since it was started after them installed), repost in the Windows Update Forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/threads where the people who specialize in updating issues will be more than happy to help you with this problem.  Try to provide them with the names of the updates and their number KB (as well as all that you have done to try to solve the problem).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  Hi osenochen, some additions to the first response:

  • You can display the classic menu temporarily bar by pressing Alt or F10 to access the file menu
  • There is also an icon of 'power' at the bottom of the graphic application menu (the one which is displayed by the button "3-bar" menu) If you prefer
  • If you closed a window and you want to re - open, go to the history menu and see a list of recently closed windows (by default, up to 3 windows closed are stored and can be re-opened - not applicable to windows private)

  My windows 8 pro 64-bit oem disk is broken/not can not be read from the optical drive. How can I download ISO from microsoft? Thank you.

  Thanks for responding to my question.  Unfortunately I'm building a new pc for myself and there is not yet installed on the pc of the OS. It is not clear if the downloaded package requires a previously installed operating system of existing windows.  Anyway, thanks again for taking the time answering my question.

  Try to return the drive to the place you bought it for a replacement. Not guaranteed, but they could understand.

• How can I close on an application?

  I plugged an external hard drive to my new computer Windows 8 and playing an audio file, which opens the MUSIC app.  But now I want to disconnect the external computer hard drive, so I STOPPED the music (there is no STOP) and got down to 'probably delete the material and the media '.  Well, it won't let me not disconnect the external hard drive because it says that the device is in use.  There is no 'X' in the upper corner of the application to close them or end them or whatever it is and the ESC key does not work either.

  So, HOW can I close an app?  Especially one that is accessing an external HD media because there is no way to disconnect the HD safely while the application is still running.

  Thank you

• How can I close only 1 session, without closing all sessions, when you run several at the same time?

  I run normally 2 sessions of Firefox. Currently I have 3 sessions running. How can I close only 1 session without closing all? When I choose "File" and then "Exit", all sessions nearby.

  Firefox does not work more 'sessions', you see several windows running in the same process. IE runs each window in its ' own process and Chrome runs each tab in its' own process, but Firefox running in a single process.

  Do not use file > outputis to completely close Firefox, do not close the window you are looking at when you use this command. There was formerly a command to close this window on the file menu, but who took a few versions ago. You will need to use the X in the upper right of the window to close this window and leave the other open windows. Or you can use {Ctrl + Maj + W} close the window that is to the point (where you look).
