Redundant updates of Windows XP

I have a Windows XP Home SP3 machine with enabled automatic Windows updates. On several occasions, it downloads and installs updates seven same several times a day if I let him. It seems that some routine checks to see what updates are required, does not detect those just installed. Any suggestions on how to fix this behavior?

Thank you for all your help and information on it. This last post seems to imply a * whole * lot of work that I am reluctant to wade in. My current "Workaround" is to simply keep track of updates all offered, saying MU to ignore those repeated (which seem to be installed without problem on the first round) and install everything new. This should take me to grief at a certain time, I implémenterai your detailed advice. For now, I'll take the 'easy way '. Thanks again. -Bill Schühle

  • Svchost.exe causing 100% cpu usage during the update of windows, even when disconnected.

    I recently had to re - install windows xp on a new hard drive for replacement. My version of xp home edition, SP2 OEM installation disc. (This is ith group included IE6)

    Once installed and running, could access windows update.

    Read all the threads associated etc. and installed SP3, disc after downloading microsoft on another pc. Installed after three trys, first two caused various mistakes, but third attempt seems OK!

    I've also updated the IE6 to IE8, as some sites obviously did not work properly with the older browser.

    Now go do the automatic updates, or log for manual updates... BUT!

    During the process, my cpu fan comes on fast and permanently! The CPU usage is showing that 100%, pc slows to crawl, the mouse becomes slow etc.

    This has never happened before on this machine before you reinstall clean, he had already automatically updated to SP3 and went very well, it was some time ago, before the failure of hard drive, and it has never had this problem!

    Only since having to do a cleaning manual update and re - install.

    The culprit seems to be svchost.exe, once it is used by the update, running the cpu at 100% and continues to do so EVEN after stopping the service, until I manually stop with the Task Manager!

    The svchost.exe instance showing a high is use: SYSTEM.

    According to the files of help here, it is a known issue and a fix KB927891 was issued for SP2, but this should NOT be necessary for SP3, and in fact difficulty used to perform anyway under SP3!

    Ideas for a guy to fix?

    I appreciate the support for XP runs out quickly, and after this update of windows will be redundant, but in the meantime it is always useful!

    Also if I turn off the automatic updates, how can I stop this annoying popup warning bubble?... I can't live without updating, but this bubble nag drives you nuts! :)

    OK just a update, now running cool and 100% auto update and manual update... How? I hear you ask...

    Well I had a beer and a reflection and came to the conclusion, it must be 'order' in which I updated the clean installation of XP.

    Origin, I loaded the old OEM disc new hard disk, loaded the drivers etc, then stop at windows update for updated files.

    Who told me my old incompatible browser and suggested an upgrade.

    I downloaded and installed IE8... still no joy, reading the forums comments I downloaded and installed SP3... which SEEMED to work, BUT then all the hassle of cpu to 100% with the automatic update and updated manual on the windows don't update site!

    So I just gritted my teeth, formatted the drive, another OEM of XP Home Edition SP2 installation loaded the drivers, installed a copy saved to SP3 and after restarting, THEN installed a saved copy of IE8 and THEN trotted off the coast to the windows update site... low and behold, it the connection without problem, did a search, and required updates appeared on the screen without delay all 123 of them...! :)

    Did the updates, restarted and everything was fine, updates automatic in market and left the machine, after about 30 minutes appears the yellow shield, and it downloads a couple more update files without problem.

    All this time I followed the via the Task Manager CPU usage and the strange spike waited 100% apartment, it was on average from 5 to 20%!...so a great improvement has this effect, by simply changing the order of the updates installed from the original! SP3 IE before IE8.

    May not work for all have to do a clean install because of the HD failed, but its worked for me, and I am once more a "happy bunny!

  • The update of Windows 10 1511 reboot loop Bootcamp BSOD ACPI. SYS

    It is a copy of my thread to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance/windows-10-update-1511-reboot-loop-bootcamp/8653... as I was asked to post here by the Microsoft Support Engineer.

    Hello

    Friday night, I went to bed with a working machine. I had a late 2013 Mac Pro BootCamp running with a Windows 10 Pro installed, the Build version before 1511.

    On Saturday morning, I woke up to my PC restart itself over and over again. It seems that Windows Update has decided to put a new version of Windows 10 on my machine without my knowledge. I discovered this after restoring an acronis backup (which took a few hours because of the number of incremental backups)

    Occasionally (about 1 in 20 restarts) it would blue screen with an error:

    SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (ACPI.sys)

    But the rest of the time he would just start, flash a window for a millisecond that says (I think) winlaunch.exe, then restart.

    I tried a lot of things to sort it, including:

    (1) restore from a backup, acronis to Friday morning, running sfc/scannow, and then runs the update

    (2) the creation of a recovery USB, enter the console, change the boot to legacy method, so I can F8, then goes into all security modes and mode of illegal product, but I can find where windows 10 now puts the boot log

    (3) restored from acronis, switched to mac, created a new bootcamp drivers usb, switched to windows and run the option 'fix drivers' before performing the update.

    Ntbtlog.txt is not anywhere on the partition. I ran a dir /s > a.txt then open this a.txt in Notepad and searched him.

    I don't know where to go from here. I can acronis restore of a windows 10 work machine the morning before installing mandatory 1511. I don't know how to delay the update no more, I noted during a restore I had delay on updates that are why it has arisen just now.

    I do not know how to find where this BSOD ACPI.sys will come (even if it happens so rarely) or this that its trying to load just before it crashes (so I can try to delete the driver etc. by the front restored windows to upgrade)

    I guess the widowed causes 10 to do a restore, then the restore fails.

    Overall, I get at the end of my wits with this, to go a completely Windows 10 installation work Friday to more than two wasted days, restore backups, try again, rinse and repeat. It's now Monday morning and I am posting this as a ditch last attempt to solve the problem, your help would be appreciated.

    If you need more information please let me know the location of the files, etc, or their names and I will do my best to have copies available for you.

    I will now restore the backup again, uninstall loading of drivers, and then try the update of windows for the 4th or 5th time.

    Thanks in advance,

    Julian

    Woo Hoo, I've solved the problem!

    I uninstalled the drivers of graphics from AMD (with AMD Driver Cleaner) and Arcronis True Image Home 2013 at the same time, then let Windows Update run its course. Now I have a machine with Windows Version 1511 10!

    It took me 4 days of downtime...

    I hope this helps someone else.

  • HP Jet 7: Flow HP 7 tablet update to Windows 10 locked in the start cycle

    A few days ago my Tablet has started the update of Windows.  It was a large download and took all night.  I had space on the micro SD for her card.  He is now stuck in a boot loop.  Start HP logo appears, the circle of dots below.  Then the screen turns white and a box appears at the top of the screen, in white.  Resemble East should have written in it.  The screen turns off again and a message appears at the bottom of the screen: "restore your previous version of Windows...". ».  The screen is blank and the cycle starts all over again.  What can I do?  How can I get it to a version that will work?  I had no backup.  Is it time to juice throw it in the trash?  Is there some kind of storage medium, that I can use to retrieve Windows 8.1?  I don't like trash, but that seems to be my only option now.

    Use the media for Win10 32 bit tool and try again 10.

    Windows 10

    Its free to download. If you already have your PC set updated to 10, then its free to reinstall.

    Download on another computer and create the USB support.

    It works on my Tablet 8 Stream. I think it was just a fluke and it will work for you.

    No need to get media 8.1 with Bing , unless you just what to have on hand.

    But if you don't want to go back, you need to get that from HP. Microsoft does not offer a download for this particular operating system.

  • HP EliteBook 850 G3: HP EliteBook 850 G3: its problems after the update of Windows 10 anniversary

    Hi people!

    After the update of Windows 10 birthday I have problems with my sound card. There are two sound cards listed by Device Manager. The first is "Conexant Audio of ISST" and the second "Intel High Definition Audio". I know not weather it was the case before the update. I just recognized it after the update when I had sound problems.

    In any case, on a sound start works on the other boot it does not work. It seems that Windows chooses the sound card, every time when it starts. Sometimes it takes the bad sound card.

    I tried to uninstall maps its and their resettlement. On the HP site, there is a driver for the Conexant map bot no driver for Intel High Definition Audio card. 10 Windows itself is not find a driver for this sound card. I also tried to reinstall the other drivers, chipset drivers for example. But unfortunately it did not help. I also tried to disable the Intel High Definition Audio, but also without success.

    What else can I try? I don't want to reinstall Windows. There must be a solution without this. Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of my device manager, perhaps it helps:

    If you need more information, please let me know.

    Best regards

    Ty

    I just tried this driver and I still have sound after 6 resets.

    It does not work when I use my headset

    Hi there @pavan_014.

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome! I think the problem you are having is your sound and headphones since the Windows 10 upgrade.

    Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

    Although you had already uploaded/updated new drivers, I would suggest trying to uninstall all the drivers of its current:

    • Go to the Device Manager
    • Click sound, video and game controllers
    • Right-click on the audio driver
    • Click on uninstall
    • Restart your computer laptop twice
    • Try the speakers

    You can use the HP Support Assistant's drivers. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant, if you need it. Simply download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updated for Windows 10.

    Are - what you happened to try the audio Troubleshooter? It might be able to solve your problem automatically.

    You can find the great troubleshooting steps in document No. sound from speakers as well as resolution of the headphones and headset problems. This document contains several troubleshooting steps that may prove useful.

    Please follow provided the troubleshooting steps, re-post and let me know the detailed results of the troubleshooting.

    Thank you!

    Have a great day!

  • HP Pavilion dv7-6163: audio Beats went after update to windows 10

    I've updated to Windows 10 and the Beats Audio that I had on my computer has completely disappeared. Now my speakers audio seems very low and has absolutely no low range. As an audiophile, this sounds like total garbage and I want Beats Audio back!

    When I got hp forums said to check the section software and drivers website. When I found my specific computer model, the page said "this portlet unavailable." I don't know what to do or where to find the drivers for my computer model. If I'm screwed? Is there anyone out there with the same computer model than me who has Beats Audio for Windows 10 driver? I feel like I'm grabbing at straws here.

    Hello:

    See if installing this driver solves the problem.  Restart the PC after the installation of the driver.

    Is this good?

    Hello

    In my opinion, this is Microsoft related question to verify please what Microsoft write-http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358

    In my opinion, you should follow:
    -If you can start your laptop OS start and create recovery media first (image backup recovery)
    -install the recovery media using HARD drive option or created a support of recovery-http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm
    -After doing this, you will have good rework plant and OS parameters
    -disable the automatic updates of Windows. Do manyally after you ve been informed of available updates
    -do not optional updates for some updates of available drivers
    -a list of important updates and install only a part of it
    -After restarting the laptop computer do it again.

    You know that's not easy to say what was wrong with the updates Windows. Just, without panic. ;)
