When Windows updates will be back to normal?

I tried for a few days now to install the most recent (and the multiplicity of) Windows updates - August.

I still can't get them - the display will show "check des.." for centuries, and nothing happens.

Some say that the delays were caused by the "Win10 upgrade" just after having been made available.

Updates are critical, so must be installed.

Does anyone at Microsoft dropped the ball by not knowing the release date of these updates is facing the right Win10 hand updated IE do not know what the left hand is doing?

You are not alone.  I look after more than 150 computers Win7.  Everyone knows that without Windows Update service.  My advice: turn off automatic updates, wait a week.  Maybe, just maybe they will figure it out a get back up and running.

I have no doubt that the problem is not your PC or any other PC.  The problem is at Microsoft in a desperately inadequate Windows Update System.

  • When Vista SP2 will stop receiving the normal Windows updates.

    It was mentioned in another thread that Vista (I guess that SP2) reaches the end of mainstream support in April.

    I have seen this document,

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/lifecycle#section_2

    which suggests to me normal stop support (Windows updates) in April.

    Could you clarify it please exactly what it means for a 'regular' customer with a preinstalled copy of Vista or someone who installed it themselves via a disc OEM etc.

    This means that Windows Update will cease to provide patches, etc from April this year for Vista SP2?

    Thank you...

    When windows update, the restart may end, it says please wait and do not restart unless I closed it and open it in safe mode, what can I do?

    Hello

    1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  • When windows update is running on my machine (and updates), my screen goes down to 1024 x 768.

    When windows update is running on my machine (and updates), my screen goes down to 1024 x 768.  I have a HD card of ATI all-in - Wonder and an Acer X203H LCD with DVI connection.  If I use system restore to go back, I can get higher resolutions, but Windows does its thing and I'm back at low resolution.  I can't change the settings manually as 1024 watch as the highest res available to the general public when this happens.  There must be some weird conflicts.  I tried to update the drivers, that made no difference.  Is there a setting Aero or the conflict at stake here?  In the past, I've had trouble with a display of balnk and I had to go back to the 2008 version of the driver to get things to work.  From there, whenever I update, I can keep high resolution, but after the last windows update (security of IE8 and much smaller pack that was released on March 28-30), it dates back to 1024 x 768 again.  Control Panel and catalyst control the two show that as more high resolution available for refresh rate. Suggestions?

    Change your update settings to find the problem, we > then right-click on > hide.

    And don't do hardware drivers through Windows updates.

    Find them in the equipment or the system direct manufacturer.

    Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Vista will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    See Update above settings to solve this problem

    Hi, past the month or so my windows update will not download at all. I never had no problems until now. Im running on windows 7 64. I'll start, click windows update and download hit. Once I have click on windows update, it just sits there with the bar running, showing me his 0%. Please if someone might know a solution, that would help a lot.

    Yes.  I had the same problem, I installed the update when my power went out, so I couldn't download it, but managed to get the update that I needed the microsoft Web page and we smooth sailing since then.

    Suggest you clean boot Vista x 64 . Perform step 1 .
    Once in the clean boot state, run the Fixit here in clicking on the Internet Explorer shortcut and choosing "Run as Administrator" . Enter a password, if one is used, or click on the button continue. :

    Hello LisaQuaranto,

    I suggest that you configure the computer to start in minimum mode, download the update from the Download Center and try to install the update.

    To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista:

    a. Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

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

    b. on the general tab, click Selective startup.

    c. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    d. click OK.

    e. When prompted, click on restart.

    f. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If your problem is resolved after the clean boot, and then follow the steps in the following article to narrow down the exact source:
