Unexpected Windows Update

My automatic updates is set to inform and not to download or install. Today, after having been on the Internet for a few hours, I stop my PC and the button turn off was the notice that an update will be installed during shutdown. I restarted my PC, went to Add/Remove Programs with updates display checked, but he had nothing new listed. The last update I have downloaded has been the removal tool of malware, several days ago. Any ideas what has been installed?

Please skip this question. I have Windows XP, not Windows 7. I will present the question where it belongs.

  • Stop unexpectedly (blue screen) after Windows Update

    I have problems with BlueScreen unexpected shut downs to 9.8.2015.  I keep trying to use the Action Center to find solutions, but it will not report (telling me there is a problem connecting to the Windows error reporting service).  Below is an example of the most recent error report order.  This problem is mainly after my computer goes to sleep or sleep, but sometimes while active.  The problem also seems to have started after only a few Windows updates that were installed this past fall 2015.  Your help is greatly appreciated!

    These accidents were related to the corruption of memory (probably caused by a driver).

    Run these two tests to check your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.  Launch auditor.  You don't need to run memtest again unless the auditor is not the cause, or you want to.

  • Unable to boot after Windows update

    Hello

    As is strives to update windows today, I wasn't expecting to lock up my computer, but now I am facing blue screen of death at every start. The Startup Repair tool is not help... So for now, the only option I see is to reformat my C drive?

    It was really unexpected, that I was a bit installing optional updates in windows (mainly the drivers I think for the fingerprint reader, graphics...) when my pc crashed. I hope to recover some of the files on my desktop before reformatting.

    So I don't expect too much help here because I can do basically anything that even the startup repair does not work. But I wonder, is there some windows updates that are to be avoided? I'd only like to know this only screwed to the top of my pc. I'm runnign the w520 on windows 7btw.

    Hello Peter, thanks for your response. I could back up my files on my C drive using a DOS command prompt and then restored a system image of a few months ago.

  • Windows update - Windows Update is not restore my windows/desktop computer after installing updates

    When running Windows Update is not reproduce my office and rather trashes everything.  Ysterday I left to work with over a dozen research Internet Explorer open and this morning, I get to a Windows auto update cycle, which wrecked all.  Well Yes, they are lost and of course, I can spend an hour or more to find once again but my boss is breathing down my neck, as if it was my fault.  Microsoft how inconsiderate!

    Of course, I have a solution, TURN OFF Microsoft Update but is this really what Microsoft wants?

    Please people think.

    Hi jbeech,

    No, I don't work for Microsoft and I am not associated with them in any way (other than to receive awards and certificates I earned on my own).  I'm a volunteer civilian gift free time to help other people.

    I meant nothing personal, per my comments of workflow.  I was just trying to do my best to help you avoid this problem in the future and apologize if you took it the wrong way.  I agree with you that he must restore it things automatically (as it does when you use the hibernation), but maybe that can be done (at least not always) because updates may affect items that are open and to update these programs must be closed (which makes saving them more difficult because if they look different after the update) It may not work if we try to restore them unless they can find a way to save ONLY the information and it is a much more difficult task).  This problem does not occur with an accident or an unexpected shutdown (and a complete restoration in cases does not always work as well and completely that we hope - at least I had problems back exactly where I was with all that every time).

    While you can choose to turn off automatic updates, you don't want to not go for very long without updating your system, so checking periodically (although if you want to do on a daily basis - I would try at least every Wednesday at least since most updates are released every Tuesday) is important in all cases.  The option I suggested (i.e. automatic downloads but no facilities) would at least them already downloaded (you would not need to check - that they would be there) it would take much less time to choose and install if you show if off completely - and when you decide to install, you will find it takes MUCH more time because you need to download and install (unless they are already downloaded).  But it is entirely up to you.

    Good luck and best wishes!

  • IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x0000000A after installing Windows updates

    Blue screen with the following information:
    IQRL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    STOP: OxOOOOOOOA

    I get this error for the second time in two months on a Lenovo R61 laptop after installation of the latest version of Windows Update there is very little time.  Sometimes after a few minutes after the start-up of the machine without provication.  The first time was the same scenario, but seemed to go away after a week or so mysteriously.  I used the laptop for almost a year with no problems before installing updates.

    I have Vista pre-installed with the recent updates installed.

    I don't have a new hardware or drivers that could lead to conflict - it comes factory all installed on the laptop.

    I have 2 GB of RAM, but I have a NVIDIA chipset.

    I tried the defragmentation tools, system repair, etc. without change to the problem.  Any advice?

    Hello

    Check the updates of Windows to see if a driver has been updated all the time that these questions came.

    Cause

    This bug check is issued if the memory paged (or invalid) is accessible when the IRQL is too high.

    The error that usually generates this bug check occurs after the installation of the faulty device driver or service system, BIOS.

    If you encounter a bug 0xA control during the upgrade to a later version of Windows, this error can be caused by a device driver, system service, an anti-virus or a backup tool that is not compatible with the new version.

    Solve the problem

    If a kernel debugger is available, get a stack trace.

    To resolve an error caused by the faulty device driver or service system, BIOS

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. Press F8 to character-based menu that displays the choice of operating system.
    3. In the Windows Advanced Options menu, select last known good Configuration . This option is most effective when a pilot or a service is added at a time.

    To resolve an error caused by an incompatible device driver, system service, virus scanner, or backup tool

    1. Check the system log in Event Viewer for error messages that may identify the device or driver that caused the error.
    2. Try disabling the cache in memory of the BIOS.
    3. Run the diagnostics of equipment provided by the manufacturer of the system, in particular the scanner memory. For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.
    4. Make sure that the latest Service Pack is installed.
    5. If your system has cards (SCSI) small computer system interface, contact the card manufacturer for updated Windows drivers. Try to disable sync negotiation in the SCSI BIOS, check the wiring and the SCSI ID of each device and confirming the proper termination.
    6. For devices (IDE) peripheral electronic integrated, set the built-in as only primary IDE port. Also, check each IDE device to the right setting master/slave/stand alone. Try to remove all IDE devices except for the hard drives.

    If the message appears during installation of Windows, make sure that the computer and installed devices are listed in the list of the products tested Microsoft Windows market.

    Comments

    Before upgrading to a new version of Windows, remove all third-party device drivers and system services and disable any antivirus. Contact software manufacturers for updates of these third-party tools.
