  Original title: closure of the problem

  Almost everytime I turn off my laptop, I get the message ' Preparation set up windows, do not turn off your computer . Then it takes forever to finally stop. Suggestions for this problem?.

  Hi ArthurCosford,

  This screen appears when you have pending Windows updates must be installed on the system or when you installed the Windows updates on the system.

  Step 1:

  You can check the windows updates history to discover updates recently and failed to install.

  For more information, you can consult the following article:

  See the Windows updates are installed

  Step 2:

  If there are updates failed, then try to download and install the stand-alone package with updates from the Microsoft Download Center.

  a. to download updates from the Microsoft Download Center

  b. Enter the item number in the field search and download the same.

  c. double-click on the downloaded file.

  d. click on run and follow the wizard to install it.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Cannot use Wake on LAN, unless that "allow this computer to turn off the device to save power" is checked

  Wake on LAN - power management

  On my Media Center PC, I am unable to use Wake on LAN unless "allow this computer to turn off the device to save power" is checked (in the tab power management of the adapter in the Device Manager). "Allow this device to wake the computer" and 'Allow only a magic packet wake the computer' is checked, but become grayed out when "allow this computer to turn off the device...". ' is not checked.

  The problem is, Wake On Lan doesn't work unless the computer has been asleep for a short period of time. If I try to activate the computer using WOL after about 10 minutes, he never wake. I guess that's because "Allow this computer to turn off the device to save power" is checked, the machine is before turning off the network adapter.

  Is it possible to force the computer to disable the NETWORK card, but would retain the capability of WOL? Or ensure you THAT WOL works little regardless of how long the PC has been asleep?

  The machine is a Windows 7 PC with a Nvidia nforce network controller.

  By the way, I have a laptop on the same cable network that has all three items checked in the tab for its NIC device power management, and this machine can be awake at all times using WOL, regardless of how long he has been asleep, this issue must therefore be with the configuration of the Media Center computer.

  I would be really grateful for any suggestion, I spent a lot of time trying to get this to work!

  See you soon

  Hello

  If the systems are only a sleep you don't need a magic packet.

  If computers are set to wake on any network traffic all Ping or arp will wake them up.

  For this configuration, it is best to disable the saving of NIC.

  There may be some variations on where is the energy saving setting.

  Here are a few examples, YMMV, look around your systems.

  ----------------------------------

  Real means WOL shut down a computer on Hibernate real position, http://www.ezlan.net/WOL.html

  However as these has involved the PSU cooperation. Motherboard. Network card and are not considered critical by the industry for the user end is a YMMV situation.

  12 Desktop who are under my immediate control (mix and match brands and processors). Only three are fully compliant and properly awake.

  Three satisfied partially, the rest don't care my desires/needs of Wake on LAN.

  On the positive side, since it is now fashionable to go green, the percentage of new computers that keep the better sleep habits significantly improved.

• Backup cancelled in Windows 7 when the computer is turned off.

  I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system.

  Periodically, the Action Center will display a message saying that I have to do a backup, what I do before turning off the computer. However, when I reboot the computer, I discovered that the backup has been cancelled.

  I have searched the web but can't find information about how to make the computer shuts down automatically once the backup completed successfully.  Does anyone have a solution?

  The backup has been working in the past?

  Have you ever attempted an upgrade to Windows 10 and then back to Windows 7?

  For example let's say you have your backup scheduled task to run at midnight...

  If your computer is stopped at midnight, the backup does not - because the computer is stopped and the task was "missed" because the computer has been shut down.

  If you have the backup task configured on "Run as soon as possible after a regular departure was missed":

  

  When your computer working again missed backup task starts automatically.

  If you have your scheduled backup job to run at midnight and your computer is in "Sleep" mode, you have the task configured to wake the computer to run the backup:

  

  This won't work for wake up the computer if it is in "Sleep" mode  It will not work if the computer is in hibernation or if the computer is shut down.  As you can be awakened from sleep, the computer can be awakened from sleep, but you can't be awake if you're dead (stop).  You have to sleep to being awake.  You can be awake if you're dead or hibernation.

  The 'problem' with this approach is if the computer wakes up and runs the backup it will continue to function and you don't want that.   You can the computer to wake up, run the backup, and then click Stop (or to go back to sleep) when the backup is complete, and you can configure to occur in two different ways.  If that's how you think you want things to work ask the question in the right way, and describe how you want things to work.

  If your computer is in hibernation or stop the scheduled backup will not work until the computer working again and realizes that he has missed a task... then the backup will run - if you have the task set to do as the first example.

  Depending on certain factors that have nothing to do with Windows there are ways to make your computer start at a certain time of the hibernation or shutdown (mean 23:55) so it will be quick and then the backup will take place at midnight but will continue to operate your computer unless you include an additional step to stop the system again when the backup is complete.  These things are not exactly automatically built into Windows, but there might be ways to do things the way it works.  If that's how you think you want things to work ask the question in the right way, and describe how you want things to work.

  Find how to solve is often a matter of the question or stating the problem clearly there is no guess, no things difficult and none of these proceedings of the wild goose.

  What is the problem with the way your backup works now?

  What part doesn't work the way you think it should work?

  How do you think this should work?

  How it works?

  If your computer is turned off (off) do you want that it to wake up itself, run the backup and then stop when the backup he fill?  You can do it if you want, but it takes an extra effort and has a few requirements outside the Windows operating system.

  The task of the example above is set to run every Monday at 09:00.

  If my computer is running at 09:00 on Monday, the backup will start and run Monday at 09:00.

  If my computer doesn't work at 09:00 on Monday, the backup will run as soon as possible after the computer restart us and that's fine with me.

  I do not use sleep or Hibernate so I don't have to worry about how get the copy backup to run under these conditions.

• Computer is turned off during the update of game time.

• Tecra A5 - charges the battery only when the computer is turned off

  Hello

  For a few days, my Tecra A5 has started to beep and stop it (like when the battery is low) then that it was connected to the power supply adapter.

  I finally realized that when the computer is plugged in, the battery discharge and does not use the power supply to recharge.

  On the other hand, if I turn off the computer, the battery starts to charge.
  I replaced the battery a few months ago, so I think it's still OK.

  The charger would be defective? Seems strange since it can always recharge the battery when the computer is turned off.

  Thanks in advance for your contributions.

  > The charger is defective?

  Theoretically; Yes, but could also be electronic supply on the motherboard is affected, but on the first stage of the AC adapter should be verified and laptop needs to be tested with AC adapter new, good work.

• Computer will turn off when the PXI chassis is turned off

  Hello

  I realized that my computer is shut down properly if I disable my chassis PXI-1036, until the computer is turned off. Is this a normal behaivour?

  As I remember, the chassis PXI-1036 must be turned on until the computer is power on, and I think that maybe on turn it off I have to follow the same procedure.

  Thanks a lot for your advice,

  Hector

  The chassis must be on anytime on the PC is.  Then it turn on before the PC and turn it off after the PC.

  This is because the chassis is an extension of the PC's PCI bus, so he expects everything to be available all the time the PC is powered on, as would be a PCI expansion card.

• Task failed when the computer is turned off

  In the computer I use at the office, I need to create a task in Task Scheduler to run every month on the first Monday of each month. And everything works fine, except when that day's holiday. The computer is turned off during the weekend and holidays.
  If this occurs. How can I force this task runs next time I turn on the computer?

  You're overthinking this problem.  Simply configure tasks planned to inform you of missed tasks .  If the date of scheduled backup has been a weekend or a holiday with the computer off, the next time you turn on the computer you will get a notification that "some tasks did not run."  At this time, manually start the backup job.

• Woke up and my computer was turned off

  Added 2 GB of memory to my Windows Vista program, also added an external hardrive, the idea was to keep the free memory on the computer and use the 2 TB external hardrive to store files IE. music, photos and documents etc everything was beautiful then all of a sudden I woke up one morning and my computer was turned off, I checked and tried everything but he wouldn't come, crashed my computer, and if so can it be saved and how do I do this?

  Hello LisaBrookes525

  Thank you for your comments.

  Just before you cart the machine to a technician try to change the fuse in the plug on the main power cable to the PC. Your machine is completely dead it may be something as simple as a fuse.

  Another option could be the PSU (Power Supply Unit) inside the PC

  Yes.

  You will need to have the laptop for a tuneup to happen.

  I recommend that your schedule the tuneup for a long time when you are not using the laptop during the day so you can stop it after what he's done.

• How to disable the Message box 'the current compatibility setting is not supported. Turn off compatibility view before you run this web page.

  Hi all

  Since a few days, we are on 11.1.2.3.500 and using IE 11. In IE 11, we can use Oracle EPM Suite only in Enterprise Mode, otherwise only "Bindows" appears. Now, my question is how can I disable (or remove) the Popup Message "the current compatibility setting is not supported. Turn off compatibility view before you run this web page. "because it's really embarrassing that this message whenever I start a planning application, Manager of calc or what ever.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Kind regards

  André

  You can go to tools > compatibility view settings and you should be able to remove the Web site / uncheck compatibility view so that you won't get this message
