Why Media Center now create two scheduled tasks mcupdate AND mcupdate_scheduled?

I've noticed since starting up Windows Media Center for the first time in a long time on a clean install of Windows 7, it today creates an additional task in the scheduler called mcupdate AND mcupdate_scheduled.  Mcupdate_scheduled is always set to wake the computer at 03:31 every day.  Now in the past to stop Media Center starting the computer for the night and then leaving him on, I would go into media center automatic update options and turn them off.  These options now is more effect Mcupdate or Mcupdate_scheduled and the only way to prevent the center of marketing media automatically is to disable Mcupdate_scheduled in Task Scheduler.  No idea why this strange configuration is in place?  Why is Media Player so determined his will light up in the night by going to the measure of the creation of additional tasks AND prevent you to extinguish itself in Media Player?  Any ideas on that?

Hello

1 when was the last time it was working fine?

2. you have any application security on the computer?

3 have you tried to remove the Task Scheduler?

4 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

I suggest you remove the task from the task schedular system and check if it helps.

  • Why Media Center interfere with the master of local network discovery?

    At home, I have a mixed network of 5 win7, XP 3, xbox, pills and devices multimedia TV.

    The network relies on a specific working group name (that all windows computers use) not homegroup.

    This works well until my Win7 computer that is configured as a DVR with media center becomes the 'master' for LANs to discover.  Then only the Win7 computers on my local network.  All the XP computers disappear.

    Why is this and how do I solve this problem?

    It feels like the 'master' for local networks is chosen randomly.

    Why Media Center interfere?

    Can I stop this interference or inhibit the computer to be ever "master local network media center?"

    I use a free app called lanscan to give me a list of computers available in each perspective of computers.  When the broken state this app fails to list anything except on the Media Center computer.  Lanscan also shows the computer hosting the network discovery.

    Thanks in advance.

    I have over 30 years of experience with computers but my network is just enough to get me in trouble (and keep changing the rules)

    You cannot remove a process, you probably just stopped it.  In the Task Manager (where you have completed the process), click file | New task and in the dialog box that opens type "Explorer" and press ENTER.

  • Move VM to csv file and create the scheduled task in VC

    What is the problem with the last line ' $scheduledTaskManager.CreateScheduledTask ($vmView.MoRef, $task) "?

    1. The ScheduledTaskManager lies in the Service Instance.

    $si = get-view ServiceInstance

    $scheduledTaskManager is Get-view $si. Content.ScheduledTaskManager

    1. We need to identify the virtual machine and the host where it will be powered on.

    #$vmView = get - VM PowerOnTest | Get-View

    #$esxView = get-VMHost esx35 - 01.vitoolkit.local | Get-View

    foreach ($f in (import-csv '

    'D:\MigrateStorage\amsterdam-core-hp-poweron.csv'))

    {

    $vmView = $f

    *

    echo $vmView

    *

    }

    1. Now we build the task argument.

    $arg = New-Object VMware.Vim.MethodActionArgument

    #$ARG value = $esxview. MoRef

    $action = New-Object VMware.Vim.MethodAction

    $action. Argument = $arg

    $action. Name = "PowerOnVM_Task".

    $scheduler = new-object VMware.Vim.OnceTaskScheduler

    $scheduler.runat = .addminutes (5) (get-date)

    $task = New-Object VMware.Vim.ScheduledTaskSpec

    $task. Action = $action

    $task. Description = 'start a virtual machine with a scheduled task '.

    $task. Enabled = $true

    $task. Name = 'Virtual Machine market '.

    $task. Programmer = $scheduler

    $scheduledTaskManager.CreateScheduledTask ($vmView.MoRef, $task)

    The following script should do the trick.

    $csvName = 
    $tgtDatastore = 
    $emailAddr = 
    $startTime =                   # Ex [Datetime]"10/21/2009 20:00"
    $startInterval = 
    
    $si = get-view ServiceInstance
    $scheduledTaskManager = Get-View $si.Content.ScheduledTaskManager
    
    $offset = 0
    Import-Csv $csvName | % {
         $vm = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Filter @{"Name"=$_.VMname}
    
         $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ScheduledTaskSpec
         $spec.Name = "svMotion " + $_.VMname
         $spec.Description = "Migrate " + $_.VMname + " to " + $tgtDatastore
         $spec.Enabled = $true
         $spec.Notification = $emailAddr
         $spec.Scheduler = New-Object VMware.Vim.OnceTaskScheduler
         $spec.Scheduler.runat = $startTime.AddMinutes($offset)
         $offset += $startInterval
         $spec.Action = New-Object VMware.Vim.MethodAction
         $spec.Action.Name = "RelocateVM_Task"
    
         $arg1 = New-Object VMware.Vim.MethodActionArgument
         $arg1.Value = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec
         $arg1.Value.datastore = (Get-Datastore $tgtDatastore | Get-View).MoRef
          $arg1.Value.pool = $vm.ResourcePool
          $arg1.Value.host = $vm.Runtime.Host
    
         $spec.Action.Argument += $arg1
         $arg2 = New-Object VMware.Vim.MethodActionArgument
         $arg2.Value = [http://VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineMovePriority|http://VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineMovePriority]"defaultPriority"
         $spec.Action.Argument += $arg2
    
         $scheduledTaskManager.CreateScheduledTask($vm.MoRef, $spec)
    }
    

    Although the scheduled task will trigger a svMotion, CreateScheduledTask method seems still need a host and resourepool MoRef in VirtualMachineRelocateSpec argument.

  • Win7 Ultimate Media Center Edition. Two channels ATSC displays only when I hit 'Record', otherwise 'channel not found', full strength 5 bar

    In the Seattle area, when I tune the channel 7.1 and 7.2 in the settings of signal strength, I still see 5 bars. It's the local affiliate CBS, KIRO.

    I have a HVR2250 dual tuner PCIe Hauppauge tuner card which has worked flawlessly for about a year. The drivers are current, 8851 dated June 2013. He also runs the current WinTV7 version 2. 8A. I do not use the Hauppauge app generally and it's not usually loaded with the exception of the tests. There is no shows at the request of record with WinTV7, although I could test records programmed successfully using this application.

    When I adjust the Guide, or by browsing the channels, MCE says no signal received 7.1 and 7.2.

    When I adjust everything first to one of them in the 10-15 seconds avant-erreur MCE 'no signal', if I reached the record, the channel is immediately blocked, including digital video and audio Dolby, and the program starts recording. I can stop recording, and as long as I don't change away from this channel, it remains fully functional with clear reception.

    I'm on a hill and have the correct line of the broadcasting antenna site about 12 miles away. I can also have this channel without problem on WinTV7 app by Hauppage, and setting my Samsung tuner screen, indicate both maximum resistance.

    The biggest problem is that the series on the logging sometimes channel show "available channel", and does not record successfully. If I manually start recording, it works every time.

    Is there any settings I can adjust to decrease the sensitivity required in MCE?
