Suspicious Windows updates

• Extremely slow/unnecessary Windows Update after system recovery.

  Hello

  While trying to help a friend with her laptop, I encountered a small problem, which seems quite unique. After searching the ' net and the Knowledge Base, I'm about as clued in as when I started, that is to say not very.

  Machine: Satellite 1800 412 (Danish).

  DID: Restore the system to zero back to XP SP1a (NSP).

  Problem: After a complete system via the original recovery CD restore, Windows Update is running * extremely * slowly, or not at all, once it gets to the point where it scans for updates you need. So far, I've managed to get 1 downloaded an update, a little. As an update is attempted usage of the processor reaches a maximum at 100% and stay there until I abandon and hard restarts, since the machine is now almost useless and lazy point appear frozen.

  Tried to: applied manually different updates downloaded directly from Microsoft, such as Internet Explorer 6 sp1, XP SP2 (DK), various updates and patches for XP downloaded and checked/tried to reinstall the drivers of Toshiba (they are updated). Verify that the systems boots properly with all recognized devices. Check the system clock. Searched the Toshiba KB, searched the Internet, searched the Toshiba support forum. Pulls hair in desperation. I have to have restored the system 4times intant to try different ways of patching the system with updates.

  Special features: It is apparently * only * updated Windows, what causes this problem, and that after the first few, where he updates the Windows Update engine in Internet Explorer. Before that I'm trying to update the machine apparently functioning normally. I can surf, download, install and run programs and what not. (No, I did not visit suspicious websites.) If Windows Update runs automatically in the background / 'in the status bar', the same thing is happening: Machine suddenly becomes useless and stays that way.

  The machine is on a local network behind one bulletproof OpenBSD firewall, no other Windows machines inside, so there is no chance of a quick infection of the network at the origin of the problem.

  Unfortunately: Manually download and apply the patches aren't an option I want to activate the automatic updates before you return the machine back to its owner.

  Hope some of you might have an answer to this one, because I have never known or heard of something similar before.

  Frank.

• 32-bit Vista, System Restore and windows update are suspended.

  This problem started happening almost two months ago. When I turn off computer and windows update tells me that it is updated, I leave. Ive come back hours later to see that my computer never updated and turns off. Ive tried click on windows update to update while I was connected and it still crashes just forever. Today, I think I discovered perhaps the underlying problem. Finally, I got fed up and decided to do a system restore, after hours of research and try all kinds of solutions on these forums (none worked). So now he is suspended from the system restore. Suspicious to me that when the windows update crashes is on the screen where it says create restore point.

  What can I do?

  I do not want to download all that regcure, II _ I chercher search on google, seems tgtbt and I don't want to take the risk of harming my system.

  can anyone help please?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  You should go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest network drivers wifi and card.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT after each driver.

  Maybe the other pilots. software and updates to the BIOS, you can get there.

  Control Panel - Device Manager - double-click on a device and check the version.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  The machine in question is a VAIO running factory installed 32-bit Vista version 6.00 build 6000 who refuses to install updates through the Microsoft Update service returning the error code 8024402F "Windows Update has encountered an unknown error.

  There is no installation of software suspicious around the time of December 2008.
  I ran cCleaner to fix any registry problems.
  I added that the MS update fixes in IE which is IE8.

  None of this has made all the difference and am now in desperation whereas the full version Download Vista SP1 and SP2 and install them locally. Does anyone have experience of these problems? I feel that they are not so rare, but I have tried most of the suggestions that non-specialist can do.

• Strange behavior of Windows Update

  Windows Update prompted me 4 updates of today, marked 'important', so I gave the OK to install.

  Then she appeared a EULA I had clicks before it would install them. I've NEVER been asked to accept a EULA for Windows Update before, so I'm not sure that its 100% authentic.

  The "update" which seems to be spawning EULA is "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x 64-January 2016 (KB890830)"-If someone can confirm if it is a real update?

  I had Malicious Software Removal Tool in updates before, and none of them have EVER prompted me to click an EULA. It's what makes me so suspicious of it.

  Thank you

  Allan

  Malware removal tool is safe to download the KB number is correct.

  He might invited you for EULA for a new year or they may have changed some things in this. However, in windows 10 I was not asked.

• Because Windows update (13/08/15) I can not install a toolbar on Firefox Robo

  I have been using RoboForm for years without problem. However, last night, I ran the last Windows Update and this morning I had no Robo toolbar on my Firefox. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Robo and still no toolbar. I ran the restore windows at 08/08/15 and there was the fully functional toolbar. I went back to windows update and had the same problem again.

  The toolbar may be hidden or the add-on is no longer compatible with Firefox. You right-click at the top near the address bar and to activate a specific toolbar. You can also check your list of Add-ons to see if it is listed as incompatible. Please note that you do not use beta, not everything may work correctly.

• Why text is distorted after windows update and how can I solve this problem?

  Hello

  This morning my windows vista made some updates. Subsequently the Firefix text is exampe is bad, sometimes unreadable, attached. The text is not bad in IE, but change the return isn't desireble. Text was OK before the reboot of Windows Update. Disable ClearType exacerbates the problem. I tried to reset as described on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-preferences-fix-problems, no help.

  Data:
  Acer laptop Travelmate (6 years), running fully updated Windows Vista, Danish language. Firefix 35.0.1.

  What to do next?

  Regards Lars Jensen

  an option may be to tackle this particular update for now until there is a fix from microsoft or you could also look at if there is a graphics driver update available on the Web site of the seller (intel/amd/nvidia) which could also be solved this problem in some cases.

• How to run Windows update for Win XP SP3 using Firefox

  My desktop PC computer running windows XP with SP3. My spouse uses IE 8 for its browser. I use Firefox Version 24. for my browser. Previously, whenever we ran MS or Windows update it starts IE and works very well. IE 8 blew up and does more (execution errors). I tried to go to the site to update Windows using Firefox and he came back and told me that I had to use IE to launch Win update on an XP system. Is this true? I don't want to use IE at all. Is it possible to use Firefox to run Windows or MS update on my Win XP system? Thank you.

  You cannot run windows update using Firefox because it uses controls ActiveX Firefox is not (and will never). Yes, then unfortunately use IE for Windows update.

• I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now online videos don't work on Firefox but on other browsers, does anyone else have this problem?

  After that download the latest version of Windows Update, I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or other sites. Switching to other browsers I found that I could play these same videos now without any problems. So I did a system restore to determine if updates of Windows had hit video play using Firefox. The restore point has been updated with the day before the download of Windows has occurred. After System Restore has been completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.

  To ensure that Windows Update has been the problem, I downloaded again the most recent Windows updates and once more could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System Restore has been used to put my computer on the eve again and once more the OE videos would play in the Firefox browser.

  In fact, your answer took me in a different direction and I found this on the Adobe site:

  The extension of RealPlayer for Firefox, the download and registration, has problems of compatibility with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to view a video.

  To work around the problem, do the following:

     Start RealPlayer.
  

     Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
  

     Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
  

     Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.
  

  Once I did this I could replay now videos in Firefox.

  Hello.

  a computer user blind, using the JAWS for windows screen reader.
  I decided to download the updating anniversaries windows update, but when I tried to install and use the windows Narrator, use windows to enter and saw help, no driver audio.

  so to my parent led assistance, communicate with people with disabilities answerdesk bring remotely in my machine and then return to windows 7, then she rolled back to 10 1511, updated windows.

  running a toshiba satellite c-50 = an OCAP machine to 00:00:4, that came with windows 7 64 bit. now, I wondered, to update via windows update just checked, and my device is up to date. so is it one at microsoft, windows 10 head,
  I can communicate with.

  wish that they tell us what devices, when and what models, almost three weeks waiting and still no update. It's frustrating. had a driver idt audio and don't want to lose my audio again. We are with the internode, but thinking of switching and expects the nbn out and a cable that is broken or defective, our box of fritz, slow Internet, phone phone home dying, stall, people can't hear. TPG care and they have diluted the brand iinet and internode, then, only get about 5 or 6 MB / sec, should get 11 or 12. not good enough.

  has it amounts, but not in networking, web design, accessibility, and programming. Thus, one in Australia, still waiting for the update windows to appear in windows update. t

  Siena is a disaster, unless they have pulled the update.
  I'm on a group of blind windows 10 called win 10, and he had problems with windows 10 gel, marked, accessibility screen reader drivers in the Wizard update and also freezing webcams.

  all thoughts.

  I had exactly the same thing happens my laptop Satellite L70-C-12R and said I need to buy a factory reset USB from TOshiba (£42). This seemed to do the trick, but I see once more that are problems before the accident. laptop not to close (continuous reboot itself), extended screens goes black and now the anniversary 10 Windows Update will not install with error 80070008 0 x.

  I have run exactly the same OS and software on my Asus and have no problem at all.

  I suspect it's a clash of 10 Toshiba/Windows somewhere.
