Unwanted scan or running program.
I have a program or a scan that will start at 00.01 daily. At this point, my computer slows down to the point that I can't use it. Is it possible to detect and remove?
Hi Davey,
There are many ways to go about this. Some are simpler in some ways (like finding what it is) but may not provide everything you need to find a way to disable (or is perhaps not as simple to do) - but this one is almost certain work any and it's really not that hard. In addition, these two programs are good to have in the Toolbox.
I suggest that you proceed as follows:
Download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx,
Download Process Explorer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx.
When the process starts, open process Explorer and see what process has started at or near the time by adding the time beginning, command line, path of the Image and Description of the list of displayed items (view / select the columns / process Performance and check the box for the start time; then go to the process tab and check Image box for the other three) then sort by start time by clicking on the header of time starting at the top of this column. That will tell you which has began at this time. The rest will help you find in Autoruns. If more than one, make a note of each and check each one.
Then open Autoruns and click the all tab and find this process (if more than one has been found to do one at a time) in the list using the information provided by Process Explorer. Once found, double-click on it to get more information about this. Once you know, you can decide if you want it to run (or want to change to another time if possible - that should tell you more information). If you simply want it no longer work and is not something critical (make sure that you understand what you stop until you stop it) uncheck the box next to the task and it will not work either, and that's all.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Hello
a. how long have you been faced with this problem?
b. any recent hardware/software changes made on your computer?
c. you are trying to install applications/programs from your administrator account?Right-click on the configuration file and select run as administrator (you can also use the same step to run also installed programs). Now, check if that helps.
You can also try to enable disable User Account Control (UAC) and check if that helps. After return to status.
Note: Enable UAC after verification.
User Account Control (UAC) can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. UAC notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. These types of changes can affect the security of your computer or can affect settings for other people who use the computer. We recommend that you leave UAC to help your computer course.

HP Jet 7 I can store and run programs from the memory card
I have a HP Jet 7 with 64g memory card. Can I store and run programs on my memory card? How can I do? Right now I store data on the card only.
Hey @Tammy21856,
Welcome to the forums of HP.
I understand that you wonder if the programs can be installed in the storage on your Tablet 7 SD stream.
You most certainly can. However, there are a few conditions. The first is that storage SD will be not as fast as the internal memory. The second is that the program that you install custom support install locations, but most programs do that should be of little interest. The last thing is that you can install office on the SD storage applications. Windows applications must be installed on the C:\ drive. In Windows 8, there was a way to install apps metro to SD storage, but the feature has been removed in Windows 8.1.
Thanks for posting and I hope that answers your question.

DEP stops all running programs
Recently when I start my laptop about 5 minutes later, DEP closes all running programs such as exploer.exe, the curse client and everything in between. I don't think I've gotten the latest windows updates. I did not do anything to try to fix it because I've never dealt with DEP and all recently discovered when he stopped all my programs. Any help at all would be appreciated. I'll check the other questions and try some of them, if I looked and did not see anything that either close all programs stopped.
