• a kind of automatic update suddenly without warning started to close all the documents I was working on, rebooted and lost all the changes I had made in the past three hours

  I've worked hard for three hours in the middle of the night, made extremely dfficult work on several Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. at the same time - the kind of work that you can do if you're sure not not to be interrupted. All of a sudden a few (probably Windows) update began to close the files one by one, "don't turn off your computer" was the message.
  I waited. It restarts, but then I realized all of work my three hours had disappeared. The files are still there, but in their unchanged form. How is it you lose nothing if your battery runs out and you can restore the files, that you deliberately deleted, and there is a permanent record of each tiny websearch? However, Windows can come in the night and boldly to destroy three hours of irreplaceable forced labor without warning! I won't ever be able to replace it.

  Set the automatic update process so that you can control if the updates to download and install.

  And, as a general rule, always save files regularly while you work.

• Disable automatic (countdown) closed after automatic update.

  I run my computer 24/7 and keep programs I need to run all the time. I have automatic updates turned on and off because after the update, it restarts the computer and I lost all the information that I have been woking on. It is extremely irritating and the last time it was the case that I had not saved the data I was working for school and I lost everything. Hours and hours of hard work was gone.

  First of all, I would like to know why Microsoft would think that is a sensable solution just disable someones computer and second, I want to know how to solve this problem. I can't support any option option which will allow updates to download and install, but ask me when it's convenient for me to turn it back on.

  Thank you

  Hi Nate2551,

  Sometimes, Windows Update may run in an instance where the file that Windows is trying to update is locked or in use. When this happens, Windows cannot apply the update until it can access these files. So that you can benefit from the update, Windows will ask you to restart your PC to continue the installation of the updates. Windows Update will remind you if you have to restart your PC to continue the installation of an update and you give the option to "reboot now" or will give you the option to postpone the restart. If you are away from your PC for a long period of time, you can see that it automatically restarts your PC. Windows does to make sure all the latest security and other updates are applied in a timely, to help keep your PC safer with little effort for you.
  If you are a system administrator and you want to restart behavior control, you can use Group Policy to prevent reboots automatic situation every time the administrator is connected.

  Access the link below and follow the steps carefully in the article below to configure automatic updates by using Group Policy or of registry settings.

• Cannot install the updates, receive error message: automatic updates has been disabled by the administrator, but I don't.

  Original title: How can I, as an administrator, turn on automatic updates, whenever I try, I get an error message saying that automatic updates has been disabled by the administrator.  I didn't do it, then?

  Question stands as is.

  Hello

   

  1. have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

  2. What antivirus application is installed on the computer?

  3. What are the different user accounts on the computer?

  This problem occurs if Windows Update has been disabled by one of the following settings:

  · Group Policy

  · System policy
  · Registry

  I suggest you follow these methods and check.

  Method 1: Perform the clean boot and try to install the updates.

  To do this, follow the steps in this link:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  NOTE: Once you check the functionality, follow the suggestions under steps to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state.

   

  Method 2: Try to turn on the auto update by following the steps in the link below.

  How to configure automatic updates by using Group Policy or of registry settings

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/328010

  Registry warning: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 322756

  How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

   

  Method 3: Turn off the antivirus application and try to download the updates and check.

   

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

   

  Method 4: Perform a full scan of the computer using the following antivirus applications.

  Microsoft Safety Scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Malicious software removal tool: http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

   

  I hope this helps!

• Automatic updates still says kb2686827 update after installation

  ORIGINAL TITLE: Question automatic updates of Windows

  Automatic updates show kb2686827 updated, but when I connect to the Microsoft Update Web site this update was not available. So I downloaded the update form Microsoft Download Center and installed, but it is still showing in the automatic updates of Windows. Should I worry that this update is still on display in the automatic updates for Windows XP? Is it possible to verift the update I downloaded has been installed properly?

  Thank you

  KB2686827 were offered again and if so, hide you?

  A root certificates update was available and if so, have you successfully installed it?

  Why do you recommend not not to install the optional software updates?

  In fact, there are two 2 types of optional software updates available - but neither is related to security:

  1. a type covers relatively minor bugs/quirks in, for example, Windows, Office & obscure things such as SQL Server. If you're having any problems (or if you do not use the feature being fixed), why install it?

  2 other installs actually Microsoft software (it is estimated wisdom) think you need pourrait a day (for example, .NET Framework 4 Client Profile). If you need now and you can always install it manually, if need be, if & when you do need, why clutter up your system with it now? [1]

  There are 1 an exception to this rule for Windows XP-based computers (only): according to the Automatic Updates configuration, automatic update may not install the root certificates periodic updates (KB931125) for you. It is therefore very important to run manual checks for updates from time to time & see if one is available/offered.

  ==================================================================
  [1] there are many third-party providers (i.e. non-Microsoft) applications that require a certain version of the .NET Framework. In most cases, the application will install the version of .NET Framework for you if it is not already installed.

  Started to start for the first time today, and after half an hour of PC was still at the stage of configuration update 3 to 90%. Tried to restore the last good configuration without success. IE 9 has been installed yesterday and I rebooted a couple of times very well. I guess an automatic update downloaded all night is the problem.

• What Windows settings or services likely to affect Firefox automatic update?

  Automatic update works do not is a common problem but in my case, the culprit is probably not on the side of Firefox Firefox. I suspect this due to the fact that I can't upgrade almost any of my programs installed if they were launched during a session before the session is disconnected.

  The thing is I disabled a number of Windows services and I see this behavior for probably as long as I use this configuration optimized. Here is a list of my services system as well as their boot options and the State.

• Why is there a newer version that I installed (with automatic update)

  Advice of ScanCircle I use the version of Mozilla Thunderbird 31.6.0 (x 86 en - us) 31.6.0, but the latest version is of 38.0.
  Ditto for Mozilla Firefox (x 86 en - us) where I am under 37.0.2, but the latest version here 38.0 also.
  My system is configured to update these programs automatically (and I get updates).
  ScanCircle becomes an incorrect version (how?) and if not, why I'm under an older version?

  38.0 Firefox and Thunderbird 38.0 was not released until Tuesday May 12 Pacific time. https://wiki.Mozilla.org/releases

  37.0.2 of Firefox and Thunderbird 31.6.0 are still the current releases.

• Thunderbird Mac will not automatically update if I re - install (overwrite app) will be always kept all of my old emails and local files?

  Im stuck on the 24.4.0 version and its always asking me auto update, but when I do its still stuck on the same screen below after leaving it ages.

  I thought that might be better to download the latest 31.5.0 and overwrite the mac app, however I fear that it may trash all my folders complexes and 5 email accounts Ive configured there?

  Everybody does it work before or a way to sort the automatic updates?

  Thank you!

  All your mail and your preferences are stored in your profile for tuberculosis and are not overwritten when you update to a new version; However, it is always a good idea to make a backup of the directory profile, just in case something goes wrong. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb to locate your profile directory.

• After an automatic update of Windows and stop, Firefox does not remember my tabs open at startup. Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow?

  Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow? My computer is automatically installed a Windows Update at 03:00 and switch off. When I started out, I had to restart Firefox. Firefox came without any of the tabs that were open when the PC went to bed the previous night. I spent an hour looking for what happened to my tabs, without success.

  This has happened

  Just once or twice

  == Automatic update of Windows shut down my computer in the middle of the night.

  Hello.

  It is possible that it was by force the windows closed so your firefox which makes you forget... Have you tried to crash your Firefox to see if the session is not restored?

  To plant your Firefox, simply there open, press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and then, on the process tab in the window that appears, complete the process firefox.exe. That will force Firefox to close at this moment. Do start again. If it works, ok, so it may have been a case isolate. My recommendation is to configure your windows does not install updates without your intervention. Choose something like 'ask me what to do' or something like that.
