When Microsoft stop updating Windows XP

When Microsoft must stop sending updates to Windows XP? It is April 2013 or 2014 April? Before he produced what should be done?

Hello DeepakMukerjee,

April 2014 is the end of the lifecycle of Windows XP. After this date, no updates will be available.

As you are and keep to use Windows XP, you can either stay. The only problem here is that if no major problem is discovered, they will be not be patched (updated) so there may be vulnerabilities of the XP system to make it easier to cut, or you could buy a new computer with the latest version of Windows installed. Moreover, assuming that your current PC is compatible, you might update to a later version of Windows, say Vista or Windows 7.

This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • Error code 80070005 when trying to update Windows using Windows 7 Home Premium

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, upgrade from Vista on a Sony Vaio VGN-FW350D. The upgrade was promotional as part of the purchase of the laptop in the Canada.

    I had no other pressing issues which have not been resolved. IHAVE run the built-in Windows based Registry Cleaner (like a cleaner 'free') and the dreagmenter of disk as part of the troubleshooting process.

    I have tried everything I can find on the setting of the following problem:

    When trying to update Windows (ie. Download updates of security or Microsoft security patches, etc.), the following is displayed: "Windows could not search for new updates - an error occurred when searching for new updates for your...» Code 80070005. It gives you the 'Try Again' button, but who does not work either.

    Also, after running in a Fixit 'Microsoft' by default and aggressive modes, change my registration to God knows what state by applying other methods proposed CIHI, now when I try an update of Windows, the "last check for updates '"and updates have been installed"the both indicate '' never. '' BTW, I have the restore points before you make these changes, so no worries there.

    I would like to point out that, as far as I know, this problem has persisted since January 1, 2011, when I downloaded and installed Microsoft Security Essentials, which would not update or another. Before installing MS Security Essentials, I ran Avast, I have re-installed after removing Ms Sec Ess.

    In short, Windows update does not work, giving Code 80070005. Can anyone help solve this problem with me? Thank you...

    Hello

    Error code 80070005 means generally that you're not quite allowed to install updates.

    If the problem persists, follow the steps mentioned below and the Coachman.

    Step 1:

    All first please confirm that you have logged on to an account with administrative privileges.

    To connect to the administrator account

    a. Click Start, right click on computer, then click on manage.

    b. expand local users and groups, and then click the users folder.

    c. right-click on the connection of the administrator, and then click Properties, and then remove that checking the account is disabled.

    Now, restart the computer and log on to the administrator account and try to update again.

    Step 2:

    You could disable your anti-virue and malware/spyware protection temporarily to see if they are contradictory with the update.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software
     
    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.

    Step 3:

    Uninstall Security avast software, install the update day, then reinstall Avast.

  • Envy laptop: my notebook of envy not turn off when I stopped in Windows 10?

    Hi all

    I tried everything to get my HP laptop work properly.  I am a computer programmer and my laptop not stop using the power HP power and sleep, using Windows 10.  I have to update the display driver, I tried different settings in the HP power settings and still no luck.  I have never seen anything like this before.  All my drivers are updated etc.  I'm about to give this thing!  When I select my phone stop Windows 10, should close and doesn't have the power button / light on.  When I try to go back on my laptop, it is dead and I hold the power button for about a minute before it turns off so I can restart the laptop?

    Hi Mark,

    You've already tried this, but if not, it's definitely worth it.

    On some machines, the pilot for 11 series IMEI has been known to cause that kind of question of the judgment, so it may be worth trying an earlier version.

    You can use the following method to install an earlier version of the driver IMEI.

    Download driver IMEI on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66228.exe

    Disable your wireless card (should be f12 ).

    Open your download folder and run the installer - it warns you that it is an earlier version, but simply continue.

    When finished, restart the laptop.

    If the computer shuts down correctly, turn on your wireless adapter and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to update automatically the driver IMEI again.

    The latest version of Windows Media Player that could open almost any multimedia file was version 6.4. Starting from this version, Microsoft have not been allowed to allow WMP to play almost any type of media file, and they were taken to court top.

    That's why Microsoft does not now permit. Apparently, the decisions of the Court are there to give other media players, including Apple stuff, a foothold in the market. I don't think Microsoft 3rd party codecs use same lawyer in case they have trouble.
