Latest Vista updates have picked up my use of the internet and slowed down my system

Last week, I had several automatic updates. In the meantime, updates have been loading on my computer all landed and froze. After the updates, I'll have a terrible time in AOL. The program has slowed down and often gives me an error message that the system is not responding. I contacted AOL who gave me many suggestions that I follow, but I still have problems (more my overall system is slow now). Says to contact Microsoft. It may be a problem with acceleration. I don't have these problems until the updates installed this week.

Now my system restore no longer works. I can't go back to before the updates. What can I do?

Hi andrewgpig,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.

Possible cause would be that updates might conflict with other programs on the computer. Also could have damaged some system files on the computer.

I suggest to try in safe mode and check the performance of the pc first.

To start the computer in safe mode, do in the link below

http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/323ef48f-7b93-4079-a48a-5c58eec904a11033.mspx

If it works fine in safe mode, then find the program that is in conflict. The link below shows you how to do a clean boot

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/331796

If the steps above fail. Try to do a scan sfc

Try to run a SFC scan, to do this, follow these steps:

Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

Type the following command and press ENTER:

sfc/scannow

The sfc/scannow command. analysis of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

I hope this helps. .

Let us know if this doesn't work or if you need further assistance.

Kind regards

    If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.

  • 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 Ron,

    Is the function of automatic update of Windows found in the use of control panel of your compensation for the use of the Internet from my ISP? If so, how? In addition, how to hide an update, I don't want to? For example, I use (and I'm happy with) Windows Internet Explorer (v7), but receive reminders to update update to Internet Explorer v9, which I don't want.

    Is there a way to prevent Windows Update for sending this reminder in the future?

  • After Microsoft automatically installs the updates, I am unable to connect to the Internet.

    After that Windows update installs on my Vista Home Edition, I can't connect to the Internet. (My updates are automatically installed at 03:00)

    If I come back before 03:00 there 12:A.M. as a restore point. I click Restore system to 12 hours and I am able to retrieve Internet Explorer 8.
    However, updates are eliminated and the same updates are reinstalled at 03:00 the next day. Again not Internet Explorer. It lists the 11:00 the previous day as a Restore Point but then lists it as "undo the restore operation. Further, most number of updates is removed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Never, EVER use system restore to 'Cancel' an update, Service Pack, or upgrade of IE! Instead, uninstall the update, Service Pack, or the IE patch & reboot. If that does not resolve the problem,then try System Restore.

    Error message after you install an update of Windows Internet Explorer from Windows Update or from Microsoft Update: "cannot display the Web page":

    If not help to tweak the parameters of your third-party firewall, try the following:

    1. disable your antivirus, all modules of Norton (as applicable), a real-time protection provided by an anti-spyware application (with the exception of Windows Defender; includes the Tea Timer of Spybot, AVG AS guard.exe, SpySweeper guards, etc.), disable the third-party firewall AND THEN select Windows Firewall.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) except #4 below until your antivirus application has been reactivated! If you use a free ZA firewall, you may need to uninstall instead of disable.

    2 Uninstall "A security update Cumulative for Internet Explorer 8 for Vista (KB976325)" or "Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB976325)" viastart | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step). Windows Update | Installed updates & restart.

    3 d - c #1 above.

    4 manually run Windows Update and install important updates available (i.e. KB976325).

    5 reboot & make sure everything in #1 above is on again and, if necessary, disable the Windows Firewall and enable (or reinstalling) your third-party firewall.
