Unable to make a selection in the context of important updates. Grayed. Open as administrator and not user account can not change to receive automatic updates

Sign on the user account as an administrator, but cannot change the automatic updates.

Under updates important area is grayed out and cannot select to change

Hello Bill,

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

As I understood it, you experience the problem, you cannot change the automatic updates even if you are logged on as an administrator user account. The option is grayed out on the system.

Certainly, I understand your concern.

I would suggest trying the following steps and check if that helps.

  1. Open the editor of the register of the command RUN by typing "regedit" and click OK.
  2. In the tree on the left, open following files-online HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate.
  3. Remove the automatic "Update" folder This will remove all previous settings for automatic update.
  4. Open the automatic update of the control panel and option as usual.
  5. If automatic update is always gray, type the command "gpupdate/force" RUN and click OK or restart the operating system.

Note: 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:

I hope this information is useful.

Thank you.

  • When I make a selection using the lasso and try to copy the selection, nothing is copied.  Why?

    I have PhotoShop CS6 for Mac, version 13.0.6.  When I make a selection using the lasso (or any other selection tool) and select 'Copy' and try to move the selection copied, nothing is copied.  What is going on?  I can't find an answer in my search for Abobe PS or the Web site, in general.

    If you still use the selection tools when you try to move the contents of a selection, it will simply move the selection. If you want to move the content, use the tool move (but be aware that the default action is to cut; use Opt (Alt on Windows) to copy the selection by dragging).

  • It might make me totally distracted, but in the password protocol, it seems all sites want one and then somehow I've now changed my passwords?

    Hello

    It might make me totally distracted, but in the password protocol, it seems all sites want one and then somehow I've now changed my passwords? IE: Google, Microsoft...

    Some people say that I need only a pswd for all sites?

    Some say all change every month... you, the experts say?

    Thank you

    Hello

    One of the worst things you can do with passwords is to have the same password for everything. For example, someone like a hacker finds your password by e-mail. You can use the e-mail address as username for several things, such as the online stores, financial sites, etc.. Once they know this address combination and e-mail password works on a single site, hackers can try on many popular sites. You are then not only your email hacked, but a lot of things.

  • I have a problem with the guest account, defined as the administrator and other users as standard.

    Help, please!

    to be honest I don't know if the administrator account is enabled.

    You have fallen into a popular trap, the trap of not plan and create an alternative emergency admin account, even if you have a spare emergency House key. It's now cause you a lot of grief. If the problem occurred recently, then you can resolve as follows:

    1. Use your repair Windows CD to start the machine in Repair Mode.
    2. Invoke the system restore to configure Windows to a point before the problem occurred.
    3. Plan in advance and create, test, and document this absolutely essential spare admin account.
    If this does not work then send me a note (pegasusDOTfnlATgmailDOTcom).

    I use this tool. During installation, you create a folder in a location of your choice for the backup of data to go. I keep mine in My Documents. Whenever my documents are stored outdoors, a copy of this record is as well. If something happens, if you reinstall the program, you can return OE the way it was by restoring the folder you created.

    This freeware tool backs up everything on OE in seconds. Ignore what is written in red. Which refers to another program.

    The ALL_DEPENDENCIES view has hierarchical information based on object_id

    The view object has the object_type.

    Create a hierarchical query on the first view and attach it to the second view.

    Or you can use the utldtree.sql file in the installation of the DB admin folder. Comments initially show you how a hierarchical query based on the object type.

    I can't make a duplicate with one copy double-sided Control Panel of the printer using the COPY function. It does not show an option for 2 original face 2 face copy. The printer has a duplexor unit installed, the latest firmware, but the option described above does not appear on the printer Panel option "double-faced."

  • IPSec VPN in the context of security... Static interface or not?

    Hello

    For the moment, I have a pair of ASA5510 in context configured Multiple. Everything is ok, but we use til now only the ACL functions.

    Now, I would be interested in configuration 2 contexts, with IPSec VPN. A VPN by context. But I can't find any information if it would be possible to use a common interface for both contexts. My wish would be only to spare public IPs...

    If I have to configure VPN 100 100 contexts, I need 100 public IPs?

    Thanks to anyone who can give me a tip,

    Hello

    If you have separate IP addresses on the same subnet, you can reach these interfaces to different contexts

    You only configure a sub with a interface ID Vlan that is connected to the gateway of the ISP. You can join this subinterface settings as much as you want but the IP address on the interface must naturally be different in each context. To my knowledge ASA really prevent you from setting up the IP address if she sees him in a different context in the same subinterface.
