Shut Down the menu problem.

I was directed to this sup forum via a suggestion in the thread below:

http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-windows_update/shut-down-defaulting-to-switch-user/f60c9bed-0dfb-43D9-b2dc-e1fc56184e58

To summarize, I got 64-bit Windows 8 and it took about a year for me to understand this.  When Windows Update scored the system to require a reboot to apply updates.  The default option of "Shut Down" in the "Shutdown Windows" dialog box. (Accessible by typing 'Alt F4' from the desktop) going to "change user".  Windows will continue to "Change user" until you choose either "restart and apply Updates" by default manually or when Windows Update moves to force the restart itself in a few days.  There is no logical reason I can think of for this change to 'change user '.  I think he's probably supposed to be change to "Restart and apply Updates", but I think there is a bug in the game.  Please let me know if this is the right sup forum for what will be displayed in the.

Thank you

Bob

  • The 'Search' function on the start menu does not work. It seems to freeze and will not even close until I have shut down the computer. What can I do to correct this situation?

    I tried to use the "Search" function to locate a specific file.  The computer froze... not allow me to cancel when I realized that it wasn't working.  The only way I could get the closing of the window had to shut down the computer.

    Menu start no longer displays options to shut down the computer, someone knows how to change that?   The power options menu did not help.

    When this happened to me, it was malware that didn't stop my computer, probably because she wanted to do something with it. I held the power button down until the computer is turned off manually, then I rebooted in safe mode - I run Vista - and ran some virus and malware programs until I found the beast and it crashed. You can also run a scan MS online at onecare.live.com, which was updated earlier this week. Moreover, I had not any data loss or permanent damage.

    Hello Tallydupp, welcome.

    Do you by chance have Google Desktop? Some users have reported interference problems in Winodws 7 while using an older version of Google Desktop.
    Try to uninstall it if it exists.

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are facing the issue with windows updates offer several times over and over again.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you perform the clean boot and check.

    This means that there is a problem with your graphics card. I suggest that to update your Windows and check of course latest service pack installed. Also check Windows problem and Solution Center and see if everything suggested installation listed there. It can make it appear to update your graphic card.

    If this isn't the case, try looking in the card of your gaphic provider or your PC support Web site to update its driver.

  • The sweet mouse bow and matching carbon ThinkPad Lenovo X 1. computer sleeps or shuts down the mouse is more matched

    Original title: Arcsoft mouse and Lenovo ThinkPad matching

    I recently bought a Lenovo X 1 carbon and it's running windows 7 pro.  I tried to pair the mouse Microsoft Arcsoft Touch with this laptop and it worked.

    Unfortunately every time that the computer sleeps or shuts down the mouse is more matched.  The only way I've found is to reconnect is to add it again as a new device.

    IT appears in my device as; Manager

    (1) HID device

    (2) mouse

    Neither gives me the ability to disable powersaving disconnect for this device (if it appeared in my Bluetooth radio devices I would try this)

    There must be a way to get the computer to recognize and default to this unit?

  • stop ID10T users of abandonment downloads by shutting down the computer or put it to sleep

    Key issue:
    Short of locking all users of the computer, is it possible to use my admin account to stop temporarily to other users of the computer is shut down, put to sleep or into hibernation mode? At least until that I get home from work?

    Explanation:

    Normally, all users should be able to put the computer into standby or turn off the console. I want that way normally. However, I share the computer with other people in the House and must work full time, leave the computer unattended during the day.

    For the last three days, I tried to download a LARGE file from a slow server an approximate time of 6 hours. Oh, to add insult to injury I can't the server let me resume a download. To allow the user to get on the computer while I'm at work and by downloading the file, I used Fast User Switching (name of the XP, in case it's called something different to 7) to put the computer on the Welcome screen, while my regular account download.

    For the past two days, despite myself, leaving a note saying: 'Do NOT stop the computer or put it to sleep', when I got home from work, the computer was off, and the download was incomplete. I got an explanation "you were always telling me to stop when I'm done, I did not forget at this time." Then today I started downloading two hours ago and was only asked "could I please verify my email address?", so I donnГ the computer. When she was done, she put the computer to sleep, which was just as bad as l ' turn off as much as to cancel the download.

    Short of locking all users of the computer, is it possible to use my admin account to stop temporarily to other users of the computer is shut down, put to sleep or into hibernation mode? At least until that I get home from work?

  • Help! Windows 7 will not be shut down/IE 9 problems such as wells or to several questions

    Hello

    I recently bought a new computer company beginning July 2012. Since day 1, Windows 7 Professional 32 bit not stopped correctly. I contacted HP multple times now and done several tests of material. They say this isn't a hardware problem. They advise that this is a problem in Windows and 'flash' of my system again. Before having to do that, I want to see if I can fix this without doing something drastic that. In addition, IE9 won't work as well on numerous occasions.

    I tried following the steps in other posts in the community on windows does not stop but I can not even past the clean install. He refuses simply restart/stop. I don't know what else to do, but it's frustrating.

    I updated my drivers HP as well and still no help. So, where should I go from here? I really need help and was shocked when I called the technical support to Windows and told me $ 99 has the right to fix. I just got this machine.

    Is it possible to shut down the computer after the call to a draw on Chess Titans? It does this to me almost everytime I have the King stuck, but when my King is stuck, I lose each time. WTH?

    original title: circulation of Chess Titans

    If its your turn and you can make any legal move either with any piece, but your King is not in check, it is then deadlock. Deadlock is considered a match draw in standard chess rules. For examples, see:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalemate .

    If your King is in check and you can immediately do a legal process to get out then check it's checkmate. For the person who the King is in check, this counts as a loss. For examples, see:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkmate .

    In the two scenarios above, can even vice versa (it may apply to your opponent too).

    If the above explains what you see in Chess Titans then the program is correctly following standard rules and it is not a bug in the program. If she does not explain what you see then please explain more precisely the scenario.
