I can't go to Windows Update and updates. Also, my computer tells me that process host Windows stopped working. What should I do?

During the windows start my computer running a disk check. It freezes during the disk check, and I have to restart the computer. I can jump the disk check, and my computer opens a session normally. However when I'm on my desk a box appears saying that Windows process host has stopped working. I can't check the updates of windows.

Hi Prinny,

I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll certainly try and help you in the matter of fixing.

To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

1. Since when are you facing the issue?

2. you have any security program installed on the computer?

3 are you aware of any changes made to the computer before the show?

You can run a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check for infections.

Note: there is a risk of data loss if all the files are infected and which can be removed in the cleaning process.

You can also run a scan of the file system Checker and check if it helps. This scan for any Windows check corrupted files and repairs and replaces them.

If the problem persists, you can follow the steps and check if it helps.

  1. Click on start.
  2. In the Search bar, type Task Scheduler and press Enter.
  3. In the left pane, click on Task Scheduler, Microsoft, Windows, RAC library.
  4. Now, click the View Menu and check Show hidden tasks.
  5. In the center pane, right-click on RAC's Agent and click disable.
  6. Fact!

Hope this information is helpful and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

    Hello

    You can try to download the latest version, right click on the installer and run it as an administrator. If the problem persists, then you can consider the function of Reset Firefox via help (Alt + H) > troubleshooting information.

    (To return to the previous mode, you were using, close the new profile (i.e. Quit Firefox), start Firefox and choose the default user profile.) Alors_que Profile Manager is open, you can also remove the reset your profile (the one containing the random numbers) or the old profile, as appropriate). If the reset is correct, it would be a good idea to delete the old profile as otherwise it would be left intact with the previous data before deletion.

    My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

    Hello

    You mean the sticker on the case of the Vista operating system pre-installed from Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba, etc.) ?

    If you do, you can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  • Error message: "logon user interface host windows stopped working. & configuration of updates fail

    Several days ago I started having the application error "windows logon UI host has stopped working".  This happens when I connect. and also on the update of windows, when they tried to configure windows update it says "failure configuration update of windows. Returning from the changes. and it restart the whole system again.

    For your information, I use windows 8. so help me solve this problem. TQ

    Hi ZakwanSalleh,

    Thank you for choosing Windows 8 and join us on our community.

    From your description, I understand that you get an error message during newspaper saying "logon user interface host windows stopped working" and after the update of Windows as "failure of windows update." Returning from the changes.

    We get the Windows log on error message if the computer is running out of memory. Then I suggest you perform these methods and check.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you perform a clean boot and remove all unnecessary programs installed on your computer.

    Clean boot: To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. Here is the link for your reference perform the clean boot.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: Please go through step 3 KB to maintain the computer to a normal startup after you resolve the issue.

    Method 2:

    I also suggest you to run a sfcscan and check.

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. When the analysis is complete, the System File Checker tool indicates whether integrity violations were found. If integrity violations are detected, the System File Checker tool allows to challenge violations of integrity

    Follow these steps to run sfcscan.

    a. press Windows + X keys and click / tap on (Admin) command prompt.

    b. in the elevated command prompt, type sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.

    NOTE: It can take some time to finish the race.

    For the error "failed windows update Setup. Revenant changes"I suggest you follow the steps in the article and check. Here is the link for your reference.

    Error: Failed to setup of the Windows updates. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer when you try to install Windows updates
