• Windows Update crashes frequently; requires restart

  I run Windows Update a bit now and then to stay up to date. However, WU was strange behavior for a while (months): sometimes it freezes with the window simply stay white and the cursor being the circle of waiting and sometimes it crashes when you click on the updates button control (once again the window is all just white). When this happens, I have to restart Windows - otherwise, I can't WU to work.

  The problem is that there is no error message and nothing in the newspapers - WU just freezes.

  I installed all the updates and keep my computer clean by regularly running anti-spyware and antivirus. This problem has existed for a few months now and I was not able to identify if I installed an update etc that might have caused this.

  I run Windows 7 Pro 32 bit, as an upgrade of Windows Vista Business. The problem WU is the only problem that I have.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you!

  PBylund,
  I would recommend that you go and try the option boot than dmw86 recommended.  After a clean boot, run WU and check that it works, then put your PC to sleep for a few minutes then wake him up and try to WU.  Also, before you try this, you must restart your PC and WU before testing and then talk the PC to verify that the problem is after coming out of sleep.  Let us know the results.

• Displaying windows update setting warning

  I was playing a game today when I was suddenly interrupted because my computer turns off. It happened to be a game of the internet, so I made 4 new enemies because I dropped without notice, which may very well have cost them the game.

  My request: is it possible for the developers at Microsoft the next update to display the warning of update on top of all other applications full screen? I can't not hysterical switch between the game and the Office to check if there is a next update and if this is the case, she stalls.

  Simple really, manually run IE winupdate and change your settings for update 'Notification '.

• How to stop Windows Update to take keyboard focus, when you are asked "do you want to restart now?

  Windows Update often wants to restart the computer after an update.  If you say "not now" (or ignore?), he will later pop up a question "reboot now?" in a bubble of task bar.  INCREDIBLY, it will at that time take keyboard focus of everything that happens and then accept what he gets as a response from the user.  This means that if the user was in the middle of typing something, the following sequence of keys will enter the bubble "you want to restart" instead of some request the user was in the middle of the help.  It's very bad.

  Here is what just happened to me.  I was in the middle of typing a document when the keyboard focus was suddenly taken by the issue of recovery, a fraction of a second later, the following combination of keys, he disappeared - I have no idea what hit it.  Fortunately, I saw the flash and guess what had happened and quickly you press 'save' on my request.  A few seconds later, my application has been closed as the machine restarted.

  I think that the bubble of Windows Update SHOULD NOT STEAL the KEYBOARD FOCUS.  I think it's dangerous and bad design.

  What is the best way to communicate this suggestion to the team of Windows Update?

  Is there a setting to stop Windows Update to do this?  (Stop stealing keyboard focus)

  I use Vista Home Premium

  I'm looking for a Microsoft solution for the specific problem I described, and/or advice on where post for better attention to Microsoft to "design problem".

  None of us are obstruction you. If we knew a way to avoid this problem (problem), we would have mentioned it earlier in this thread.

  You aren't the first person to complain about this and I'm sure you won't be the last. According to Microsoft, you have two options:

  1 use an automatic updates setting other Automatic (for example, download updates but let me choose whether to install them). or...

  2. turn off the automatic updates and get your updates manually (which I don't recommend).

• Windows Update uninstalled audio output? (Conexant HD)

  I'm running a Pavilion DV9700 with Vista Home Premium. Windows decided to do an automatic update this afternoon and I now no sound. When I move the mouse over the tray icon, I see "No Audio output device installed. It was working perfectly before this update.

  Here is what I tried (and results) and try (reason).
  I can't update the driver for a device that is not installed.
  I searched on hard disk for Conexant, audio, player, sound. Unable to find anything that will help you.
  I thought to uninstall updates... but there are about 40 of them, and there must be a better solution.

  I can not deal with no music... any advice would help.

  BTW, I already said the system can perform automatic updates, but that's another debate for another day.

  The update removed somehow the audio device. I tried to download and reinstall, but kept running into problems with the installation. My system did not create (first time I ever saw that) restore points, so I had nothing. I ended up restarting in safe mode and perform Windows Update setting, then reboot back into normal mode, and he's back.

  Hi, I'm updating my laptop which has not been updated for a year.

  There are 71 updates that won't just download!

  I can't get it to check for recent updates, the latest is may and as this laptop is not used, they where not downloaded.

  Now, nothing will download or I can't get new controls.

  I have a good internet speed so this isn't the problem.

  It's windows 7 with service pack 1

  Any help please.

  I published a strategy for Windows Update for August 2016 to my clients. This works very well and turns out to be relatively simple:

  Check the Manager of tasks to ensure that the CPU usage is 10% or less.  If not, do what is necessary for this change.  In most cases, this is due to the update of Windows running in the background.  In this case, stop the WUA service and restart

  Use of IE, download and install KB3172605

  32-bit https://download.microsoft.com/download/C/D/5/CD5DE7B2-E857-4BD4-AA9C-6B30C3E1735A/Windows6.1-KB3172605-x86.msu

  Restart the computer

  Start the Task Manager and wait for % CPU equal or less than 10% and rest there.  Still installing the updates.
