Why keep lying Windows Update make me?

What I hate about Windows Update (and also several other windows tools, btw.) is that they often lie to the user!

What I mean by that? That system often displays messages status or data which do not correspond to reality! For example, when I run Windows Update it almost always displays "your system is up-to-date! As a naïve user I at this point leave the program again and mistakenly feel safe.

But as a power user of Windows, I know that Windows is a liar and system, so I learned to always click on the link "check for updates". Unsurprisingly he almost always then surfaces new updates, today for example "12 important updates!

If my system was NOT updated Windows update is displayed and just lied to me once again!

  • 910219. how to download and keep the Windows Update files?

    Hello

    What is the ideal way to update Windows? now, Windows downloads the selected updates. where? I do not know! and after their installation, it removes the packages for installation on my computer. This causes the downloaded updates are lost, and I can't use them to similar machines that need to install the same updates. for these machines, I have to download updates again! This causes my internet to be charged again while it is not really necessary.

    the ideal way, in my view, is that I can specify a folder for the Windows Update service. It can use a default folder for that also. After selecting the updates, I want to install in my system, it checks to see if the update is already existing in the folder. only if NOT it downloads. then after downloading it maintains the package in the same folder after installing. installation should be done automatically as it is done now. Then I can move the folder to another machine. in the second machine, I also choose the update I want to be installed which are mostly the same as the first machine. for example, Windows Update only consumes my internet traffic for updates that are not yet downloaded. I wonder why Windows Update doesn't currently work the same way?

    by this method, I can at least use the consumption of traffic and I can access the latest updates with the easier and faster way. I I would like to choose a memory flash for this purpose and keep the folder inside.

    is there a way to achieve this?

  • Windows Update makes my Word 2007 not operable

    Last night, I was working in a Word 2007 document information transfer to another program from him. The detected Windows icon appeared in my taskbar. I does not pay attention to the icon of update of Windows and in about a minute or two my screen erased and then in a phase 3 update of Windows. When the updated, the Word document is returned to the screen. The program was closed as I was transferring information by Windows I assume that the work has been lost. Anyway now when I open my Word 2007 I get a program not responding do not error. I have the installation for Office CD, but I don't know if that will fix the problem as it will be the same word that no longer works. I really think that Microsoft should not perform these updates in this way because he would have been the same if I had steeped in my PC and left the open note. Everyone should have the last word when their computer is being updated. After all, it's a mine not Microsoft or any other software company. I lost a lot of work and I do not have a program of orocessing of words. You can not get a response from Microsoft without a product ID. It is not just great for trying to get into a program they made trash and will not open. Someone at - it solutions that they can suggest to solve my problem.

    Hello Jim Morecraft,.

    Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    I understand your frustration regarding this issue; I will do my best to put your PC to work again. Since the issue you described in your post, said after Windows update, I would recommend that we start with the help of the System Restore tool to restore the computer to an earlier point in time before this problem started. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, type System Restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point, and then click on Next.

    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    4. click on finish.

    5. the computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Second, you can configure Windows update to where you decide whether to perform the update or not.

    If it is a problem of update, the best way to solve this problem is to apply only updates one at a time to determine which updates is causing this problem.

    Click on Start -> all programs -> Windows Update, click change settings in the left menu. Select download updates but let me choose whether to install them, click OK. When you are alerted to install a new update, this window, click on view available updates, uncheck all updates and select one at a time, install it, restart your computer, test and update. Once you find the update either continue to ignore it, or look for it at http://support.microsoft.com/

    You can also post back with update KB number, you are having problems with.

    If please reply and let us know if your problem is resolved or if you need further assistance.

    All the best...!

  • Why does my windows Movie Maker stop burn to my dvd to 60percent without message

    Burning my family video with windows movie maker, from the (encoded) copy to dvd disc, and it stops at 60% completion with no error message.  How can I solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Just a few ideas...

    Large, complex projects are prone to problems.
    If you create several small projects and publish (Save)
    each format .wmv or .avi movie to a folder on
    your hard drive, you can then import the clips collected
    DVD Maker and each one becomes a scene
    (Chapter)... you can have up to 18 scenes.

    ===

    Your source files might have compatibility issues...

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

    ===

    It may be interesting to try to open Movie Maker and go to...
    Tools / Options / Compatibility tab and disable all the
    filters / OK.

    ===

    Publication (save) the project to the DV - AVI or WMV
    film in Movie Maker format and then import the
    movie DVD Maker file may be worth a try.

  • Why so many Windows updates are available at the same time

    Updates

    * original title - installed more 15 000 updates this morning. Since I use the automatic updates why so many people at the same time? *

    Hi people,

    Is the number of '15000' you see on a black background with the logo of Windows on it? If Yes, then it is just part of the update process. It refers the number of files that are being updated on your system. Normally you would see that the screen but if your computer installs updates, then is not a good stop to install (for example: If you a loss of power or power off your computer), then you will see this screen with the black background, the next time that you start.

    There should not be any cause for alarm, especially if your update history shows the updates installed successfully.

    Hello Dan_Nelson,

    Method 1:
    This proxy are you running?
    Error 0x80072F78 - invalid server response it is usually due to the power of attorney.
     
    Try the following:
    Check the connection settings:
    Open Internet Explorer > tools > Internet Options > connections > LAN settings
    Check or uncheck the option 'automatically detect settings '.
    Apply the changes, quit Internet Explorer and try Windows Update again.
     
    Error 0x80072F78 is usually caused by the proxy or the firewall is not blocking issues.
    You have active port 443?
    Can we try without going through the proxy server to eliminate this possibility?
    You use a firewall?
    You block Active X controls?

  • Different screens of Windows Update for Windows 7 Professional

    I have two computers with Windows 7 Professional installed on them. It is a new facility, and the other is as old as Windows 7. They are both installations completely current with respect to Windows updates. Why is the Windows Update screen on my new different installation of the old installation? The new facility, I cannot add Office 2007 updates.

    Did you follow the fix multi-step together?

    Microsoft Update has been the key.

    Well, yes--but the Microsoft Update option was not available before so I guess the resolution of your problem (that is, make the Microsoft Update option available) was running the multi-step fix, that would be OK?
