  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

• SOS - updates of Windows problem - won't let me change my settings to activate the automatic updates

  It is a nagging problem.  I tried to help and change a variety of things in my preferences - changed my profile/access etc.  I need a little help from someone.

  Note: my laptop is a new HP (2 months), I have recently updated to IE 8, I'm using Vista and it is a 32-bit system.  This cell phone belongs to me and is for use personally and in a home base business (so I'm a college professor).

  P.S. The HP Chat Support has not understood this.

  Can someone help me?

  Note: I am trying to solve this problem tonight, but I am not far away for awhile.

  It is probably easier than I think - but I have not had this problem before.

  Justin,

  Clean reboot didn't help.

  Question:
  I downloaded, a couple of weeks, a registry clean program AdAware and ran it... It was probably the time that feature automatic updates Windows Update stopped working.

  This is the problem and how to correct things now?  Should I reinstall my Windows Vista operating system or something?

  Please notify.

  Thank you

• HP EliteBook 850 G3: HP EliteBook 850 G3: its problems after the update of Windows 10 anniversary

  Hi people!

  After the update of Windows 10 birthday I have problems with my sound card. There are two sound cards listed by Device Manager. The first is "Conexant Audio of ISST" and the second "Intel High Definition Audio". I know not weather it was the case before the update. I just recognized it after the update when I had sound problems.

  In any case, on a sound start works on the other boot it does not work. It seems that Windows chooses the sound card, every time when it starts. Sometimes it takes the bad sound card.

  I tried to uninstall maps its and their resettlement. On the HP site, there is a driver for the Conexant map bot no driver for Intel High Definition Audio card. 10 Windows itself is not find a driver for this sound card. I also tried to reinstall the other drivers, chipset drivers for example. But unfortunately it did not help. I also tried to disable the Intel High Definition Audio, but also without success.

  What else can I try? I don't want to reinstall Windows. There must be a solution without this. Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of my device manager, perhaps it helps:

  

  If you need more information, please let me know.

  Best regards

  Ty

  I just tried this driver and I still have sound after 6 resets.

• Some updates of Windows 7 installation problem

  I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. It is located to automatically download updates. The problem is that it will install updates, as in Windows Defender, but others will fail, as Microsoft Mouse detection pilot or Hp Printer drivers. Why is - it then all these updates are considered "important"?

  Dolfin152,
  If the updates are for hardware related items, you can go to the manufacturer's website and install them manually.  Then, run Windows Update and see whether or not they are presented again.

• Problem with an update for Belkin 7050 V3 in Windows Update in Windows 7

  Recently, I bought a Belkin 7050 V3 wireless card, and I use the card on my Windows 7 computer with a Vista driver. The Vista driver works perfectly, but whenever I go to Windows updates, I see that there is an update recommended Windows 7 for my card. Once I have start the update process, Windows Update gets stuck on the installation of this update, and once that Windows Update said you it has failed to install the update, you cannot use the device, and you can't even reinstall the Vista driver. So after that I did a system restore, I've hidden the update. However, just today, I learned that Windows Update tired to reinstall the update even through automatic updates. I was wondering if there is a way to attract the attention of Microsoft to remove this update from Windows Update, because I think it's the only way that this problem will be solved, even if I hide the update, she returns after a few days and reinstalls by the automatic update.

  Change the settings for updates of Windows you want and install the updates that you want.

• I have a problem of update/defender windows?

  I think I have a problem with windows update and windows defender.

  Windows Defender shows a warning to check the new definitions, but when I click on check it says definitions is up to this day of tp. Definition version: 1.67.10.0 created on 09/24/2009 at 04:23

  When I use windows update it says windows is up to date, but has been updated 09/26/2009

  While I don't see the error codes, I'm sure that there are some new updates.

  My os is Vista Home Premium 64 - bit sp2

  Hello

  Defender, manually updated on the second attempt, so thanks a lot for your answers and time > thumbs up

  I still think that windows update is nerfed because it has not been updates since I did the restore but ill wait a few days just to be sure.

  Thanks again.

• Windows Update Causes startup problem

  I have an interesting problem with Windows Update (or apparently is from Windows Update). I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, if that info is needed. There are two updates I have not install, as I am not sure that is the cause. The updates in question are Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Defender definitions 1.63.604.0. Here's what's happening.

  When you restart after Windows updates, the computer starts with a black screen with a mouse pointer. That's all. Happened every time I tried to start after the pdates. I can reboot into SafeMode very well, is apparently a problem driver or update.

  I also installed DivX on the computer, but it seemed to work as I could watch .avi via WMP thereafter, so I excluded. I thought that if there was a problem with it, it would not have worked in the first place, but I thought it was interesting.

  In any case, the only solution I found doing a system restore and do not install updates day or DivX, since technically I don't know which is the cause. I had to restore the system 3 times already and I didn't continue to do because this computer was very expensive and I don't want to ruin the hardware or something.

  Someone knows something about an error with updates, or perhaps with DivX that may have caused this. The computer works fine without the updates or DivX, I just want to know what could be the real problem so if it is only one of the 3, I can install the other two at least.

  Change your update settings, install the updates one at a time, hide the problem:

  Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

  > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

  When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

  > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

  See you soon.

• Windows XP svchost.exe problems. Cannot find the latest updates for windows xp.

  Hello, this is my first time on the Microsoft Community page.

  I have a very strange problem with automatic updates svchost.exe and windows. I know that automatic update of windows, has been known to cause problems on XP and there is thus CPU utilization of memory leaks. Last night, I tried to install the latest windows XP updates, with automatic tool. The tool hanged during the process. Not sure why exactly. I never had a problem with it. I've been running Xp SP 3 for more than five years. In any case, I rebooted my system and checked to see if the updates actually treatment. They do not have. Then I went to the windowsupdate.microsoft site. I was trying to these updates. The scan never completed, he just constantly checked, for about 45 minutes. I decided to do some research. I found the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder "fix" online. He kicked, I renamed the file. And then disabled auto updates and restarted my computer. After windows starts, I re-activated automatic updates and waited. Nothing happened, so I did some research more. I noticed that svchost.exe uses about 25% the use of the processor. Normally my treated systemidle is 99%. I used Process explore and isolated the wuauclt.exe under the svchost.exe file. When I disable automatic updates executable, it is up to a full 99%.

  I'm not sure why it uses 25%, when I look at the actual use of the memory for the wuauclt.exe, it is only using about 17 k of memory. Which is quite low. I have not turned on microsoft update, starting in the configurations of parameters at windowsupdate. I know that in the past, that has been a problem and swallowed up system resources.

  Any advice would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

  There are a lot of threads on this forum - and many others - this problem - just try to do a Google search for UPDATES of XP SVCHOST - hits now more than 8 million.

  But to save you the trouble of tracking down the fix OK here is the short version

  1. disable automatic updates using Control Panel icon

  2. restart the computer - SVCHOST is now not going crazy

  3. check which version of Internet Explorer you have installed IE8, IE7 or IE6

  4. download and install - the links below - the good update for Internet Explorer.

  Assuming you have Windows XP 32 bits here are the direct download links:

  IE8: IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41404

  IE7: IE7-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41442

  IE6: WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41458

  5. Once installed, you can reactivate the automatic updates and using Windows Update.

  Note: The bug also affects access via Windows/Microsoft Update Web site.

  KB2898785 is the "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer" (December 10, 2013)

  There is a bug in the function of automatic update under XP running the SVCHOST process at full CPU load (100% or 50% or 25% depending on the number of CPU cores you have). If you have a Quad core CPU the bug works the CPU at 25% (a carrot out of four) and eventually battles through a conclusion - but if your computer is a single old Celeron or Pentium bug works the CPU chip at 100% load for many, many h/solid.

  Faster your processor and RAM than you seem to make a radical difference to the actual times are waiting for you maybe search for updates complete. Most of the old core systems were never designed to deal with this kind of situation and can easily overheat. This is especially true of laptops and desktop systems older where the radiator can be partially blocked with fluff and hairs of animals - which could cause blockages or stops!

  Microsoft said last month that the updates of Internet Explorer are treated differently from all the other updates - which is originally the XP update engine run so slowly as to appear frozen. If the update service finds that you don't have the latest version of IE that is currently available, it starts to search the entire tree of updates of IE to see what it takes - rather than offering just the cumulative current update for your system.

  But if you manually install the update yourself update Internet Explorer service is fully updated and is not search for updates of IE. But until Ms. fix it will still occur whenever a new update is published.

  MS said that intend to prune the IE updates database so that only the main cumulative updates have been offered when a search has been launched - it did not in time for the update as it should of November and obviously has not arrived or worked either in time for the December Update!

  MS say they hope to have a fix before the January updates are released (Patch Tuesday) - that the problem will be activated once the next update Cumulative of IE is released.

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
   
  Note: A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network. Then the firewalleither blocks information or allows information to pass to your computer. If the information is blocked or throughdepends spent on your firewall settings. A firewall can prevent malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers. Windows XP, Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) include firewall software.

  Note: Disable your antivirus software is not usually recommended, some software antivirus prevents certain system changing files. This can cause the Windows XP SP3 installation failure. To make sure that you manage to install Windows XP SP3, temporarily disable your antivirus software, including any third-party antispyware and firewall program. To do this, right-click on the icon for your antivirus program, and then click on disable. The antivirus program icon typically appears in the bottom right corner of the computer screen.
   
  Important: Make sure that you enable the antivirus software after you install Windows XP SP3.
   
  Hope this information helps.
