Not able to change, update Windows settings-Windows 8

Hi all

I have problems with Windows Update settings, I'm not able to change the settings for Windows Update. My parameters are set on the updates but let me choose whether to download or install. I want to change these settings, but the settings are grayed out.

I am the only user of this laptop, my account is the administrator account. The laptop is not a part of any domain or workgroup. I use Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 updated regularly. I scanned my computer for infections and my computer is quite clean.

I have attached a screenshot as well.

Someone can help me with this problem, how can I make changes to windows update settings?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your answer

I've tried all these steps, but nothing is done, always I'm not able to change the settings. I can get and install the updates manually checking the updates. I want to automatically download and install updates. I also tried Tweaking.com Windows repair all tool that has not worked.


EDIT:

Greetings...

I managed to solve the problem. I opened the registry editor with administrator rights sailed to the following reg key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU. and delete all the keys inside the to THE folder.
Restarted the computer and now I am able to change the settings for Windows Update.

This problem is now resolved.

  • I am not able to change the video quality for you tube. There are only two options 360 and Auto. Please help me.

    Hi I am experiencing strange problem for 15 to 20 days and I am not able to change the video quality for you tube. There are only two options 360 and Auto. Help me please if you can because I have a slow internet connection and I want to play video at 240, as it was before. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Could check you whether YouTube is to serve its HTML5 player or the player based on Flash? If you right click on the drive, short a context menu should appear. If the full Firefox context menu is displayed, press and release the ALT key to erase that. The last line of the menu short usually indicates which player he is.

    I'll assume HTML5 because...

    On Windows 7, Firefox should show a wide range of formats in the HTML5 player. However, if some of the features of media are disabled, preventing video MP4 decoding, then YouTube offers only 360 p (with WebM coding).

    If you have intentionally disabled Media Foundation and/or DirectShow in topic: config, then perhaps you would prefer to use the YouTube Flash Player? There are a few Add-ons that can force YouTube to serve you a Flash drive. Either of them will do, you don't need both:

  • Not able to change the plan of the quality during the inspection of reception using the task of ACEM.

    Hi all

    I am not able to change the plan of the quality during the inspection of reception using the task of ACEM.

    Please suggest what to do on the priority.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Piyush Kudawalee

    Hello

    If you use functions much jump, then you must add a new plan of the quality in the settings of jumps.

    Please go to the root of quality > process lots Skip parameters > application process of Skip lot number attached to the elements > go to settings to jump > add plan new collection...

    This will show you the two quality LIMM and Oracle plans. You can add as many plans as you want and can restrict their in asigning to specific jump lot.

    The quality plan is failing because there can be only plan quality attached to jump a lot.

    NOTE: Please indicate the post as helpful or answered if the update has really helped you. This would also bring the wire to the logical conclusion and will be useful for viewers.

  • dcd5800 sff desktop PC: dc 5800 sff I m not able to change the bios setting

    How to get the password of the bios

    as I m having dc 5800 sff f10 bios password I forgot kindly help as I not able to change the bios setting

    Updated the BIOS will not clear the password.

    You can try pressing and the little button cmos clear yellow with the jumper removed password and see if that does anything.

    I think that the motherboard has a problem because removing the rider of P/O should have removed the password.

    Now turn you on the PC with the jumper removed, correct?

    You turn off the PC and unplug him.  You then remove the jumper P/W and then turn on the PC.

    That's when the P/W should be cleared.

    Then you shut down the computer, unplug and replace the rider of P/W.

  • APEX 5 - not able to change the theme template

    Hello

    I created a new application in 5 APEX using 25 blue sensitive theme.

    I'm not able to directly change a template theme.

    I copied one of the page template and then edited the copied one.

    Why I am not able to change a theme template directly in the APEX 5?

    Appreciate your help.

    Thank you

    Deepak

    Hello

    No, this is not true. If you

    1. go to the components shared-> themes
    2. Choose the 25 theme
    3. Click on the "Unsubscribe" button in the subscription area "theme".

    You can start making any changes to the 25 theme as you are accustomed to APEX 4.2.

    A default subscription for all provided APEX of the themes has been introduced to make it easier for customers to meet changes in theme in a later version of the APEX without having to worry if changes could have been made to the theme of the application. Our suggest is that if it is necessary to modify an existing template, copy so that it is obvious that it is a custom editing. These copied models will not be affected when a topic gets updated.

    BTW, I suggest having a look at the universal theme 42 - if you start with a new application.

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > looking for graphics/video drivers Vista > download/install the.

    If this does not resolve the problem, you have a hardware problem with your integrated graphics, or your graphics card.

    At this point, contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    Problem solved I used the word repeated in my password (clpnADMdev11). I removed a '1' (clpnADMdev1) and then it worked fine.

    Thank you

    This is probably because of the "Signon password hard to guess" profile option.

    "Hard to guess password access code" can allow repeated characters? (Doc ID 1533614.1)

    Thanks for the screenshots. Very useful.

    It seems that you are going to the Help Menu and selecting 'Elements Inspiration Browser' which should be the Aggiomamenti that put you in your screenshot. Keep out of the way. If you go as far as its connection dialog box, quit just there. This seems to be

    associated with photoshop.com, which was abandoned long ago. As I mentioned before, there will be thumbnails

    and other elements of photoshop.com in your program, but none of the items are available to you.

    In respect of assistance, I would also keep away from updates. The update that needs to be done for version 9 (Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements)

    is very limited and are those already mentioned. If you decide to install the 9.0.3 update for Photoshop Elements 9, please use the link to Adobe

    already provided. As mentioned, 9.0.3 is not an update for Photoshop Elements 9. However, you will probably get what is called nag messages except if you install 9.0.3 update. I would simply ignore the messages of AGN. I don't think you can do these messages "do not show again".

    What you should focus in respect of aid is the first entry '? Help of Photoshop Elements... F1' and its first Elements 9. It's

    where I suspect you might find the Photoshop elements 9 help PDF and the first elements 9 help PDF in Italian.

    Please consider and let me know if you're OK with the above.

    Thank you.
