Why the Automatic Updates installs

I have 8 updates waiting to be installed include 4 for Vista and 1 for Internet Explorer.  Apparently install it, restart the computer but Setup fails, then the updates are back.  Why?

  • Why the automatic updates to install the Service Pack 4 (KB2463332) on my computer? I have windows XP

    I have Windows XP Professional version 2002 service pack 3, this computer is on a network, but it is NOT the server. This update hase until now tried to install 24 times, and continues on a daily basis through automatic updates. Initially, I tried several things to actually force the installation until I found a link here, who said that he was only for servers. So, I need two things... If I do not need this update and how to stop it coming as an update critical for my computer? or if it's my computer, how can I install?

    Thank you for your time, Jenny

    KB2463332 is an option, not the security update. Do not hesitate to 'hide '.

    ====================

    1. stop the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > services.msc (enter) > [OK]
    Double-click Automatic Updates > click Stop
    (Stopping the service will take a moment)

    2 remove the contents of the download folder:

    Start > run > %windir%\SoftwareDistribution (enter) > [OK]
    Open the download folder and delete its contents
    Close the window.

    3. go to the Windows Update Web site. Select CUSTOM and allow the analysis to be performed. Uncheck the box/deselect KB2463332 (look in the SOFTWARE OPTIONAL category on the left side) and hide ("don't show me this update").

    4. start the automatic updates service:

    Start > run > services.msc (enter) > [OK]
    Double-click Automatic Updates > click Start
    (Starting the service will take a moment)

  • TB 31.5.0 Win 7 after the TAB key for the automatic update no longer creates new address line "write" (enter the done key) but I want the TAB key! Why this keep happening after

    TB 31.5.0 Win 7 after the TAB key for the automatic update no longer creates new address line "write" (enter the done key) but I want the TAB key! Why is - this seems to happen after each automatic update? Cant we get 'option' to use the TAB key to navigate through the lines of address "write"?

    TAB through the fields that exist. It is the function of the TAB.

    Otherwise you could never use TAB to go out in a field for example: subject. It would create an indefinate number of fields and are unable to function as a TAB key.

    TAB does not back to THE fields,
    New crests to THE fields or donkey typing/selection enter/return address, you can use the selection of mouse click.

    I noticed recently that the automatic update of windows is no longer asked me whether to download updates. When I checked the settings via the Control Panel setting had been changed to "Install updates automatically". The toolbar is now grayed out and I am unable to choose another option!

    I'm the only person using this computer as administrator, with a single user profile. I don't understand why I'm not allowed to change these settings more and you would appreciate the help.

  • Is this ok to activate the automatic updates now?

    Hey guys I have the same q... is it OK to turn on the automatic updates now... I had the same prob - stage restart loop 3... I fixed it by using method 4 then I installed Microsoft fixit files... how ever it has updated to sp2 now... I can turn on the updates, and install them?

    Hi ganganatha,.

    Looking for your other post I see that you have run the fixit reset Windows Update. It's yours if you want to enable automatic updates or not. However, so that Windows install important updates as they are available, it is recommended to activate the automatic update. With an automatic update, you don't have to search for updates online or worry that critical fixes for Windows might be missing from your computer. Windows automatically checks for updates for your computer.

    In addition, given that the issue is resolved, you can turn on it.

    Here are answers to some common questions about updating Windows automatically.

    After a clean install of Windows XP Edition family, I was unable to install the automatic updates.  Installed service pack 3 manually as suggested in this forum.  But now he repeats to me there are updates to install, it downloads and installs, then said done and it needs to restart.  But when it gets to the top of the Update icon is still there and you have to do it again

    .

    Hello

    1) that updates are you referring?

    (2) are these same updates that are repeat?

    Method 1: You can manually download by going to the Microsoft site and enter the KB with the number that is installed on several occasions.

  • Windows XP does not install the automatic updates.

    Original title: kopieerfout

    After several years, my laptop with Windows XP does not install the automatic updates, giving only a mistake:

    "

    ER is een doing opgetreden bij het van het bestand ntoskrnl.exe copying

    Kan het bestand niet naar doelmap copying.

    Everything works OK.

    Thanks for your help

    Everything works OK.

    It seems that it is not... Why Dutch? You use or have the corresponding language version installed?

    Free translation of message:

    "An error occurred during the copy of the file ntoskrnl.exe
    Cannot copy file to destination... »

    Please note that ntoskrnl.exe is a process in the cycle of the initial startup on your computer program.

    Try to load your "last known good configuration".

    The issue is also known to be caused by a short circuit in the ground cable into the keyboard cable. Make sure that it is not the cause of your error by replacing the keyboard with another keyboard or just disconnect the keyboard from the computer. You can also look at your function "Add or remove programs" If KB2686509 <> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2686509 > is installed.  Install manually if it is not.

    If the above doesn't help, try using the Sfc.exe tool - see here > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747

    Or run the Chkdsk tool - see here > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

    If still no luck, you may need to restore the file ntoskrnl. exe as follows:

    1 - insert the Microsoft Windows XP CD. Note: If you have a recovery CD or a restore CD and not a Microsoft Windows XP CD is probably the procedure below does not solve your problem.

    2 - restart the computer and that the computer starts, you should see a message press any key to boot from the CD. When you see this message press any key.

    3. - in the Microsoft Windows XP setup menu, press the R key to enter the recovery console.

    4 - Select the operating system you want to set and enter the administrator password.

    5 - type expand d:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_ c:\windows\system32

    6. - you will be asked if you want to overwrite the file, type Y and press enter to replace the file.

    7 - type exit to restart the computer.

    Hope this helps - good luck!
