Update takes too long to install the right until the computer turns off

Hello!

I formatted a Windows 7 HP computer, and I was having a bunch of annoying problems related to updated Windows Update (for more than a week, incredible!), more precisely I encountered the problem of the infinite search for updates several times (I formatted in fact the PC more than once), and unfortunately, I have seen no any model when it occurs. I've seen many solutions online, but none of them seem to work. If this computer was mine, I would have already installed another operating system, i.e. Linux.

Now, after several attempts, the last of them was to start first windows in "safe" mode, and then restart normally, I have observed that, although apparently she wanted so much for the updates, under the windows of Hood put to date has already installed some updates and others have been suspended, and we failed. I decided to restart the PC, and now it is install updates after the newspaper a few hours already. Apparently, he was installing the updates normally, but at some point he stuck with update number 234 (on 292). It was at least 2 or 3 hours, which is to install this update, and I think that it is not normal.

What can I do? Could it be related to the internet connection? I had a lot of trouble to set up the internet connection, mainly because of the card wireless PC, apparently dying. But I used it, before ending the session, a USB Netgear adapter, and I was able to connect to the internet, etc.

Thanks for your help!

I just wanted to say that after waiting a bit more put updated 234 has been installed as well as all the other updates that came after him. Thus, the long waiting times could be due to a problem with internet or any connection simply because the update was quite heavy...

I'll take a look at this post ;)

    Hi, I am Ganesh, I tried to installed the application using creative cloud. But seems it's taking too long to install the application and it is hit. After the installation of 42%. Still, I tried to restart my computer and re-install the application. But it is keep taking so long time and struck at the end of the installation of 42%.

    If the installation process is stalled at 42 percent with no possibility of error, there is a problem with the zipped file to Extraction of downloaded in the Temp folder.

    As a fundamental step. Leave the creative Cloud desktop application.

    Delete the contents of the Temp folder:

    Optional: it will be ideal to install software like Winrar, WinZip or 7-zip,., etc.

    Please press Windows + R and you will get a command window run, get hit and type %temp%.

    Delete all the content inside the temp folder.



    Then try again to install application InDesign CC again.

    Just in case, if you are still having the same issue.

    Creative application cloud thus released, do not close it.

    Open the Temp folder, then search for the CC InDesign installation file and copy it to the desktop computer.

    Then leave Creative Cloud application and try to install.

  • How and when the computer turns off automatically?

    This is great... .buth how and when the computer turns off?  When I reopen it wifi comes back, I'm correct when she stops she also turns off wifi?

    Hello allan299,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    According to your post, I see that you have any questions on how and when your computer shuts down, and how the WiFi on your Mac is affected. I know it's nice to be able to properly manage what happens when your computer stops and starts in mode 'sleep'. I'm happy to help you find the best resolution.

    You're right, when your computer stops completely it will turn the Wi - Fi. If you enable the wake for network access, Wi - Fi remains lit, and you can access shared resources on your computer, such as printers or iTunes shared playlists even when your computer is in "sleep". Definition of a calendar closing and start on your Mac can also be useful.

    Check out the following resources that will help the set options that control the energy use of your computer, sleep, and wake-up times for your Mac and the calendar from your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep:

  • On the start with progress bar page, after that it becomes a little more than half, the computer turns off.

    MY MacBook Pro is frozen and I had to turn off get out of the frozen page and when I pressed the button to turn it on it makes the departure noise and then the progress bar lights. When it becomes a little to Midway, the screen goes black and the computer turns off.

    The progress bar that starts from the left end appears when your startup disk is too damaged to mount. The illustrious progress is the functioning of the equivalent of disk utility (ERD). He is never more than half before taking a decision.

    If your drive CAN be mounted, start-up continues normally.

    If your drive cannot be mounted, your Mac stops, because there is nothing productive that it can do.

    If your Mac is trying to start and crashes, which can produce always different results, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

    I recommend that you start in recovery and run utility disk (ERD) until it comes clean or is hopelessly.

    Hi all

    I am trying to run this update statement. But its takes too long to run.

    What could be the reason for the update statement to run so long?

    You did not say what means "too long", but a simple and good reason might be that the scalar subquery on "s_postn" using a full table for each run scan. Potentially this subquery is executed for each row of the table "ops_forecast_extract" that satisfies your filter predicates. 'Potentially' due to "filter/subquery optimization" cunning of the Oracle execution engine that tries to cache results of already executed of instances of subquery. Given that the in-memory hash table that contains these cached results is limited in size, the optimization algorithm depends on the sort order of data and could suffer collisions of hash that it is unpredictable, how this optimization works in your particular case.

    You can view the execution plan, it should at least tell you how Oracle will run the scalar subquery (that tell you nothing about this "filter/subquery optimization" feature).

    Follow the generic guidelines how to generate a useful plan explain output and how to post here:

    Could please post a correctly formatted explain you plan output using DBMS_XPLAN. SCREEN, including the 'Predicate information' section below the plan to provide more details about your statement. Please use the noformat} [{noformat} code {noformat}] {noformat} before tag and {noformat} [{noformat} / code {noformat}] {noformat} tag or after the noformat} {{noformat} code {noformat}} {noformat} tag before and after to improve the readability of the outing:

    In SQL * more:

    SET LINESIZE 130
    
    EXPLAIN PLAN FOR ;
    
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);
    

    Note that the DBMS_XPLAN package. DISPLAY is only available from 9i on.

    In 9i and above, if "Predicate information" section is missing from the DBMS_XPLAN. Output display, but you get the message "Plan table is old version" instead, you must recreate your plan table using the script server '$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlxplan.sql '.

    In previous versions, you can run the following in SQL * Plus (on the server) instead:

    @?/rdbms/admin/utlxpls
    

    A different approach in SQL * more:

    SET AUTOTRACE ON EXPLAIN
    
    ;
    

    also displays the execution plan.

    In order to get a better understanding where your statement passes the time, you might want to turn on SQL tracing as described here:

    When your query takes too long...

    and after the "tkprof' out here, too.

    Hello

    Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
    It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way?

    Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
    in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
    air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
    You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

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

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

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

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Toshiba 32RV635D does not power off when the computer turns off

    Hello

    I inherited a Toshiba 32RV635D. I have a PVR based on linux (Mythtv) connected to the TV via HDMI, connected on a Nvidia GT610.

    With my previous TV, a Vistron LCD Panel at low prices, he would go to sleep when the put PC into hibernation and light up when the PC came back.
    This required no configuration of me, he's done right. The Toshiba TV does not work.

    With this Toshiba TV, when the POR turns off the TV turns off screen but is actually still on - power led remains lit in green.

    Same thing with the other way around - if I put the TV in standby and powered the POR, the TV does not respond and I have to manually put out of Eve.

    I updated the firmware and it has not changed anything, and I can't find anything related to power management in the menus of televisions. I even tried just pulling the HDMI cable to the back of the TV so it has no physical active entry, and yet, it does not fall to sleep.

    The Amazon page for TV mentions the power management features, and I expected from what I understand, it should behave the way she.

    I read a lot on HDMI-CEC, but to use it with my existing kit, I would need to buy an adapter USB - CEC, and which seems a little odd because my previous TV not cheap-as-chips just done this...

    Also, the different uses in linux suggests considers its sounds the right - 'xset q' running when the computer is idle tells me that "the monitor is turned off" when in fact it is not.

    Clues?

    Ricklous, it can be useful if you have a look at the url
    http://www.Toshiba-OM.NET/LCD/PDF/English/Country_Specific/RV635-323742-English-specific.PDF

    If you want to download the manual of the English edition for your model, I have not read through, but it may be useful to you.

    Either by the way, I have the model 32RL900A and find only a VCR plugged into the claims of taking SCART screen every time it turns on while the TV is set to a string of FTA (Free To Air) and then 'hands back' screen when he (PVR) goes out, and this, I discovered, is a characteristic of the system SCART.

    I don't know if this information is useful to you, but hope it helps.

  • After changing the MagSafe adapter, macbook pro takes too long to start the video

    After changing the map of 85 W MagSafe, time to start the computer has become excessive (2 minutes). The screen lights up immediately, but the video appears after 2 Min.

    Once started, the performance of the computer are OK.

    This anomaly occurs after the change of the adapter, it's never happened before.

    Try a SMC reset:

  • The computer turns off accidentally during an update, the pc will not boot

    Hello

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Acer Aspire M5640
    Intel Core 2 Duo E 7200
    RAM 3 GB DDRII
    500 GB Sata HARD drive

    I went out to do some quick shopping and turned on my pc. When I got home, proceeded to check my email (gmail) that I had left open. Went to click on an email from a reliable source, so I don't think it's associated virus. Could not click on everything that was running, pc is frozen. I tried cntr + alt + delete to continue with a reboot, does not open. So I held the power button for just shut it down and restart. When the computer has been restarted, it goes through it's normal procedure, until it gets to a green screen of Windows Update. When the pc is turned off, there is absolutely no indication that an update is underway. Now the computer begins to restart, gets to the screen update hangs and stops at reboot, samething over and over. Talked to Staples, not covered by the warranty, problem of Microsoft. Called tech support with Acer, same thing and they wanted to charge me $129 / hr to fix over the phone. That's why I'll try and see if anyone here can help me before I go the road of Acer.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    You can not download a genuine copy of Vista on the Net.

    If you can borrow a friends correct (no Acer, Dell), discs of recovery etc. Microsoft Vista DVD, you are 1/2 there.

    All versions of Vista are found on a good microsoft Vista DVD.

    This is the product key that installs the files for which version of a Vista DVD.

    There are only 2 disk of Vista: a record of 32-bit and 64-bit disc.

    And there is only the Service Pack 2 for Vista.

    If this boot disk, that I informed you do not find your operating system, and if you can not do a repair of a Vista DVD installation, it's time to do a complete reinstall factory.

    See you soon.
