How set you a specific time for Windows Update in Windows 8

I have little bandwidth with Hughes.net. They have unlimited bandwidth between 01:00 and 06:00 time of the Download Center. How schedule you the updates of Windows in Windows 8 for awhile?  In Windows 7, I had this option.  Windows 8 is coming with updates of MASSIVE size and they are destructive my bandwidth.

Thanks for any help.

@ B.W_

If you are remotely or broadband?   for a fixed price?

Go to control panel > Action Center
then
Windows Update and then click "Edit settings" in the link to the left

Look in the "Major updates" block
and look for a blue link "updates will be...". installed in the course of the maintenance window"
Click it
The next screen shows a block of Auto Maintenance
Inside, there is a line (with menu drop-down) to select the time that windows update is to run.
Make your choice.   and apply the changes.

  • How do you reconnect a bluetooth for Windows 8 device without first deleting?

    Well, I am suspicious that there is no answer because Bluetooth is one of the apps that overlaps between the office and the new environment of Windows 8. We have to wait for an update from Microsoft. Currently, it is easy to add a Bluetooth device, which connects it to the times. Return to the desktop, you can see the familiar Bluetooth window that allows you to disconnect and reconnect the device. BUT NEVER CLOSE THIS WINDOW! If you do, you will need to remove the device, and then add it again to reconnect it.

    It's stupid. When I look at the devices in the environment of Windows 8, I should be able to double-click on it or something to connect.

    I don't know if you have solved your problem, already or not, but I had the same problem with my Soundfreaq his Kick. I was able to fix this by double clicking on enter playback devices and on the records tab and change to show disconnected devices. Once I did my camera remained there instead of disappear so I could log in and out easily. I hope this helps

    How can you cancel the download of an update that was started by after having pressed the button "Check for Updates" in the window "On Firefox", please? If possible, please cover all platforms, Mac, Windows, Linux, although the first mentioned is what currently applies to my situation.

    Thank you.

    Such a download is usually recorded in a updates or updates folder in the program folder or the Firefox application.
    You can delete this folder to cancel the download.

    If the files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.

  • How do you manage file types in windows 7?

    How do you manage file types in windows 7? There was a tab for it under XP folder options. If I can't solve the problem I will downgrade to xp and back to windows 7.

    Tab file types has been removed in Windows Vista & Windows 7 and replaced by "default programs". If you need to customize the type of file to a higher level associations (for example, the addition or the change of a supplementary verb in a class file), you need to maybe use a third-party tool or change the registry manually.

    If you have a specific requirement, pls after return.

    Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?

    Hello Bob w. NY

    Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.

    As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

    Apples of: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

    User level: beginner to Expert

    If you have multiple PCs in your home or business running different versions of Windows and would like to have on the same version, you can check that you do not use a product key that is already in use. For example, if you bought 3 copies of Windows 7 Professional, installed one, active, but later wanted to update another PC but can't remember which key was used, this trick can be very handy.

    Click Start, type: cmd

    Press enter on your keyboard

    At the command prompt, type the following command:

    slmgr - dli


    Press enter on your keyboard

    A dialogue window will appear on the screen. This will reveal the partial product key which gives an idea of the product key that is in use. Compare with product keys that you have and it will confirm copy of which is in use. When we're done, click OK and close the command prompt window.

    For users of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1:


    Press the Windows key + X

    Click on command prompt

    Alternative means to quickly launch the command prompt quickly on all versions of Windows:

    Press Windows key + R

    Type: CMD

    Press enter on your keyboard
