Windows 7 poster waiting for the host window for spot on the restart or shutdown

Every time I have shut down or restart my computer, I get a screen that says "Waiting for task host window" I tried to clean the registry, I did a chkdsk, I ran sfc/scannow several times now and this issue will not go away.  I am running Windows 7 64-bit with 4 GB of ram. I also tried to apply the patch, but I always get "this update is not applicable to your computer."

Hello

Thanks for posting your question on the forum of the Microsoft community.

I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

1. have you done any hardware or software changes to your computer recently?
2. What is the brand and model of your computer?

'The Taskhost' is a generic process, which acts as a host for the processes that run "DLLs" rather than "Exe". Starts, it checks the registry services part to build a list of the DLL-based services it needs to load, then load them.

I suggest you try using the steps in this Microsoft support article and check if it helps.

  • 1 program still needs to be closed: (waiting for) task host window's task to stop execution and stopping tasks that are already running

    While the closure of the pc I got the message: "1 program still needs to be closed: (pending of) task host window's task to stop execution and stop tasks that are already running".but there is no program running and I have to force it to close.how to solve?

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    Windows, then closing, checks all open programs. If there is, it sends a request for the program to close and wait until the program closes safely, to avoid any loss of data. But, Windows is waiting for some specified
    If you are sure that none of the programs are obviously open, you can try the following steps:
    Press Windows key + r, Type regedit and pres enter. If UAC prompts, click Yes. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> expand System-> expand CurrentControlSet-> click on command (exapnd no do this). When you click (or select) control, you can see WaitToKillServiceTimeout. Double-click it to change the value. Set the value to 500 or less than that. Click Ok, and then close the registry editor. Now, restart the PC. If the problem persists, stop and try again and check.
    Be careful with registry access as incorrect values or remove the unknown keys can prevent Windows to start and it will fix it.

  • A timeout occurred while waiting for the host controller EHCI interrupt on answer Async ahead Bell.

    Whenever I put my adapter wireless netgear n150 under heavy load (download of World of Warcraft for example), it will go down to connection and until I restart the computer the adapter usb port is useless.  I dug into the event viewer and found that a timeout occurred while waiting for the EHCI host controller interrupt on the asynchronous response advance doorbell, source usbehci.  This seems to have been a problem with windows 8 I found other threads referencing but I can say that they are pre-release and some actually work solutions have been validated.  I already assured that all drivers, firmware and chipsets are up-to-date and compatible.  ANYONE please help?

  • Waiting for SP1 to come through Windows Vista update?

    Hello:

    I have been waiting for SP1 to make an appearance through Windows Update and am still waiting. I checked the knowledge base and checked all problem drivers to see if I had any of the components.

    I don't have one of them, nor I have hidden updates that I chose to not not to install. Is there anything else that I could possibly check? I checked all my drivers in Device Manager, and all are updated.

    Thank you!

    Hi guys

    I think you should check Microsoft's own article on this topic:

    * + Is not available for installation from Windows Update and is not offered by automatic updates of Windows Vista Service Pack 1. + *
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948343

    There are various reasons why the SP1 cannot be received through the automatic update.

  • Waiting for upgrade of Windows 10.

    Hello

    CIRCA 2010 Windows 7 D255 Aspire One user here.

    A few days ago, my netbook seemed ready to receive the upgrae Windows 10, but something overnight had bad shot with one of the updates of Windows and it wouldn't even check the additional updates.

    One in particular, I decided to do a factory reset, and after applying about 300 updates to Windows 7, I expect now that Windows 10 to arrive. Can someone tell me...

    (a) how long should I wait for the download start. The applet installed by the Windows 7 final update confirms that I have booked my copy and must simply wait

    (b) the netbook should stay connected to receive the update, or is just being in a punt by tate ok

  • Windows 7 Edition Home Premium or wait for Windows 8

    Hello

    My six year, Sony's all-in-one PC is running slower and slower despite the developed and needs to be replaced this year. My dilemma is whether to replace now, probably with a laptop with screen 17.3 inch under Windows 7 Home Premium or wait for Windows 8 released. To use PC home and I'm a relatively unsohisticated user. Any advice much appreciated.

    Before getting a new laptop or PC, check their website to see if they already Win8 pilots. If so and you want something that looks like XP, I'd go for scope Win7 in time Win8 once it is released. A lot of the manufacturer may offer a "anytime upgrade" of Win7 for Win8 with the purchase of their product. Dell and others who did when Win7 is out; you buy a PC with XP installed, and you could get the upgrade later for a reduced price (and in some cases, free).

    I tried Win8 consumer Preview and really don't care for her. I'm not an iPad or iPhone user (I use my cell phone as a phone, not a computer), so I'm not all that familiar with the concept of full tile to do things. Give me a Start Menu and I'm happy :-)

    Of course, these are just my opinions, and I don't know there are many others who will be either agree or disagree with me, and that's ok. Diversity is what keeps life interesting :-)

    My Windows XP is very slow. Tried cleaning and defragmentation. I'm constantly getting... «waiting for java script "... or," waiting for http://"...or"Download photo".» I'm really frustrated by the slow pace. Even when I type in the information it is still far behind on the screen. Can someone suggest some concrete measures that would solve these problems. Thank you.

    Have you checked you anti-virus software, I found mine can slow down processing system from time to time. Also check the amount of free space you have on your hard disk, because if it becomes weak which will affect things.

  • Buy X230T or wait for Windows 8?

    Hello

    I am interested in buying tips.  I think I have a x230T for my son to use at school (at home).  I like the idea of him being able to take notes, and then draw in the formulas, molecules etc right in the document word (or whatever it ends up being).  I'm only interested in the ThinkPad (vs current Fujitsu) due the durablity and available education discounts.

    I read about Yoga and other hybrid tablets expected with the launch of Windows 8 and do not know if it is wise to wait or buy now (or if they will be prohibitive prices).  It seems that the new Tablet hybrids will be lighter than the current x230T.  I also read that it is sensible to wait for Windows 8, designed in the spirit tablets.  Here again, we have a first generation of Thinkpad Tablet and maybe make us just that.

    Advice appreciated (while I continue to find customers - have got to say that I was disappointed by the comments of x230T.  I bought my own X 220 last year and it had good reviews in all areas.  BTW, another reason for my interest in the x230T - I already have the extended battery and docking station.)

    Thank you!

    Yoga and other types of tablets are touch the base, if you use it for taking notes or drawing, get the Tablet XxxxT or Fujitsu tablet.

    If you got the multitouch screen, so you would be able to use metro on windows interface 8.

    Reviews are the first point of the search, but personal experiences count more. I think that you have X 220, you know the kind of things you can expect from the X230t.
