New Windows automatic update of August 10, 2011 is our extremely slow laptop. What should I do?

The day before I had defragment the hard drive and do a "Disk Cleanup" after many months.  Laptop was significantly faster.  Then, there was an automatic update of Windows and now the laptop is extremely slow.   Any suggestions as to what I should do next?  Thanks to you all!

  • Windows automatic updates to doubt?

    In windows 7, in windows updates, when we select "install updates automatically (recommended)" and then set the time when to install updates, to just install the updates then (downloads at any time seized in accordance with his will) or download them first at that time and then to install it?
    As my use of the internet is free from 02:00 to 08:00 and I want that windows should download the updates and install them automatically at 03:00 (it would cost my internet charges). If I put out there like "every day at 03:00" time, it will download at that time (which I want it to be), or simply install at the time (I don't want to use my day consumption for the updates of windows... I want to use the free part!).

    p.s. it restarts the computer automatically after installing updates (I don't want) or to delay the recovery until I wake up in the morning and do it myself (I want it)?

    If it does it automatically, is it possible to stop him?

    From: Understanding Windows automatic updating

    When the updates are downloaded?

    Updates are downloaded behind the scenes when you are online. They do not interfere with other downloads. If you disconnect from the Internet before an update is fully downloaded, the download process will continue the next time you're online.

    When the updates are installed?

    It depends on the automatic update option you choose. If you choose the recommended option, updates are installed at 3:00 or on a schedule you choose. If you turn off your computer before the scheduled time, you can install updates before shutting down. If your computer is in a State of economy of energy (sleep or Hibernate) during a scheduled update, and if your computer is connected to a power source, Windows will wake your computer long enough to install new updates. If your computer is running on battery, however, Windows will not install updates. Windows will try to install them instead at the next scheduled installation.

    Through the above information, it seems that Windows Update is download the updates when the system is online and install them during the scheduled installation.
    Updates need to reboot the system to replace files in use will be to reboot the system without any user interaction.

    As far as I know, when WU is set to automatic, there is no way to restrict the time when the system will download the updates.
    If the edition of Windows 7 is the ultimate edition, professional or business, one can configure the options of restart and guests reboots via Group Policy. In addition

    PowerShell cmdlets in Windows 7 introduces a set of 25 new cmdlets, which allow administrators to manage and automate Windows PowerShell through Group Policy. With these cmdlets, a COMPUTER administrator can backup, restore, report on and configure (through registry settings) Group Policy objects. This feature is added during the installation of the GPMC.

    PowerShell cmdlets also applies to editions listed above of Windows 7.

    Original title: old Dell laptop broke down.

    Hello

    You can contact Dell and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    If this method has not been destroyed by the last re - install, 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.

    With a Dell, you press F8 at startup and follow the instructions

    http://www.Dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/KCS/KcsArticles/ArticleView?docid=266618

    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.

    I tried "the pirates of registry" and does not really depend on their ability, the problem is still there.

    I changed the name on the wba file and had validated the operating system for the second time, no help at all.

    Although I could never use the web site windows update, I had automatic updates, windows allowed 132 + updates to install, even this will be undate is no longer this device, I tried to turn the auto update turned off the system restart, then activation updates, which did not help.

    At this point, present an repaired actually a problem of update, I know that xp only will continue until April 2014.

    Note it is a XP OEM operating system was complete with sp2, I downloaded and installed the sp3.

    Hello Bigbrotherbrian,

    I think that thie problem is maybe due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)

    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled

    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    To solve problems, just follow the steps below:

    To do automatic updates options configurable by the user (only for stand-alone systems), remove restrictions 2 & 3 above.

    • Click Start, run and type REGEDIT to . EXE

    • Go to this location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SOFTWARE-policies-Microsoft-Windows------WindowsUpdate------AU

    • In the right pane, delete the two values AUOptions and NoAutoUpdate

    • Go to this location:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion------policies------WindowsUpdate

    • In the right pane, delete the value DisableWindowsUpdateAccess.

    Hope that this resolution should solve your problem.

  • Safety poster Windows automatic updates is turned off, but they are on

    Security alerts Windows keeps advising me that I have automatic updates turned off even if I turned them on in the system menu. Security Center said, however, that they are turned off and fails to address the problem. I tried to run windows repair, but it has encountered an unexpected error and could not continue. I'm afraid that I have some types of malware on my computer and there is a security risk.

    You can try to restore Windows back to a previous working state, and then disabling the updates so that it works this way.

    Step 1: To restore Windows to a previous state (before defective updates):

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore (open the link and follow the instructions).

    Step 2: To disable the automatic updates (so the update defective will not be reinstalled):

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off (in step 3, select 'Off').

    WARNING: It is not recommended and sometimes even dangerous to disable automatic updates, because they improve the security and reliability of Windows. If the procedures above solves your problem, this means that an update was the likely cause.

    Please report back with your results. Then we can reactivate the automatic updates, but block the update that causes this problem.
