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

original title; Problems with automatic updates. Help, please.

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.

Hi, Thatreallyawesomeguylololol,

Start in safe mode with network.  Turn off the system restore to ensure that no malware hides in the restore points.

Right-click on command prompt and select run as administrator

Type the following command:

CHKDSK /F /R

Press enter

Restart the computer

The scan takes a few minutes and once completed, once the computer restarts, open the event viewer > Windows > application log. Look for Winninet to see the results of the analysis.

  • Error Msg: bounds of the element are turned on, but they are not

    I use 8 FM in Tech Comm Suite 1 on Windows XP.

    When I'm PDFing my book file, I usually get the message that the bounds of the element are activated in one or more of my book files; However, none of the book files have all limits on.  How can I get rid of this message?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You probably limits the elements under tension in one of your unstructured files, perhaps a table of contents or something, but you don't see them because there is no structure. An informal document may have limits on like any other file, only you don't see everything because there is no structural limits to delimit. In any case, the process stops is the same as any file, using the commands on the view menu. Your best bet is to turn them off for the book as a whole just to let you know that you start with a clean slate. To do this, activate the window address book and select all the files, then select display > hide the limits of the elements. Sometimes the menu display of acts a little funny when you've mixed the settings in the book, so if you do not see this command, select another related first of all limit order (as show element (as tags) limits) to standardize all the files. Then, the command hide Elemenet limits should appear the next time you go to the view menu.

  • 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.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

  • Windows 7 double monitors - turn off a monitor causes Office to reorganize resulting in substantial losses of productivity.

    I have 2 monitors connected to a card nVidia FX 580 running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. A monitor is linked via DVI and the other through DP (Display Port).

    If I turn off the monitor of the RFP, I hear the windows sound indicating the material has been "deleted." When I turn on the monitor, I hear the sound of new hardware, windows re - detects the monitor as if I just installed it and my layout any icon on the desktop and all the windows, I had open are then all rearranged and takes a long time, re-organization to come back to where I was.

    I leave my PC on 24 hours a day for several reasons - and for years have always just had my monitors turned off when you are not using it.

    I need to be able to turn off my monitors without windows deciding that I "removed" a monitor.

    I work for a software company of medical imaging, where we provide the complete hardware and software solutions for use in radiology departments in hospitals. These systems are usually 3 or 4 connected monitors, all via DP these days. Due to the possibility of the desktop users get messed up, if they happen to turn off a monitor, we can not install systems with Windows 7.

    While many may see this as nothing more then a disadvantage, it is a show-stopper as what we concerned. Yet as I have not found a viable solution to this problem.

    So here's the question: how to disable this new behavior in Windows 7 and allow him to understand that the monitor has not gone away and that the Office should not be changed simply because the monitor is off?

    Thank you.

    I wrote a small utility to fix this problem. It is still very thrown together, but Open source, so you can compile sources if you have security problems.

    I hope it works for you!
