Windows Update will not work. -Left running for more than 2 hours and always at 0%

I tried to use Windows Update, and it did nothing.  I have the update for 2 hours and 11-day for my computer downloaded 0% 0%.  How can I get the update downloaded and installed?

Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

Don't you worry in this regard at the moment, the servers could be a little overwhelmed. It will download when the servers are not so busy.

There are quite a few updates coming through this month and a lot of people to distribute updates.

  • Media Player 12 will not remain full screen for more than 5 min.

    Upgrade Vista Ultimate to 7 Ultimate. Media Player now will not stay full screen for more than 5 minutes during movie playback. How can I fix this please?

    When presentation settings are turned on, your mobile PC stays awake and system notifications are turned off. I would not advice you constantly running in presentation mode because it does not allow your computer becomes idle (and display the screen saver) even when you do not do anything. He probably solved your problem because one of your application does not perform certain actions as before, because it's always 'think' that your computer is not idle.

    You should do something like this: check the settings for these two applications: Vaio update and Trend Micro (probably you can get there after right-clicking on the icon in the notification area and choose the appropriate context menu position). There should be some options when these applications are performing the update process. No doubt, one of them made when the computer becomes inactive if it may affect the mode full-screen. I guess that might be Vaio update, because I read that since version 2010, Trend Micro has been improved and should not cause this problem, but you should check the two of them. You should change the appropriate settings, so it will play the update process in another moment.

    There is also something else you can try. You can read this article: How to prevent the flight home in Windows programs . You can find how to prevent theft of focus programs, then perhaps it can also solve your problem. Maybe after the upgrade to Vista, specific registry key does not contain the appropriate value, and you must follow these steps to fix that:

    1. Click Start and then click run (or you can press Windows key + R )

    2. In the text box on the run window, type regedit and click OK. This will open the registry editor program.

    3. Find the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER under my computer and click the plus sign (+) after the folder name to expand the folder.

    4. Continue to expand the folders until you reach the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel registry key.

    5. Select the key of Office under Control Panel .

    6. On the right side of the screen, locate and double-click ForegroundLockTimeout DWORD.

    7. In the Edit DWORD value window that appears, set them value data: field to 30 d 40 .

      Note: Make sure that the Basic option has the hexadecimal value, when you enter the DWORD value.

    8. Click OK , and then close the registry editor .

    9. Restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

    10. From this moment on, programs should no longer steal focus from the window you are currently working.

  • Disk Cleanup stalling on temporary files for more than 3 hours and eat memory!

    So, whenever I checked my C drive I get different numbers on how much space is left. I deleted 45 GB (sent to remove trash and Perm.) data I didn't need and I always as much as before, if not less. I then tried to run the disk cleanup for that drive and it keeps blocking on "files temporary scanning", which since more than 3 h and no other programs other than windows base and Trend Micro are running and system keeps using more memory. EX: below

    RAM used: 3.1GB/4.0GB

    cache in the processor (i5): 4.2mb/7.7mb

    CPU usage has been the use of 80-90% during this period

    Frequency Max CPU is 109%

    This all started a few days after a windows update.

    It is using 25% CPU usage... as to what it is I don't have any idea. I've used it before and it scanned in less than 45 min.

    Anyone have any suggestions to correct the program that is not responding?

  • Vista Home Premium 64-bit: Side-by-side configuration incorrect, C++ Redistributable is not installed, programs will not install, Windows Update will not work.

    Greetings!  Please read this and thank you in advance for your help.

    A few months ago, I started to receive Windows Update errors, indicating that my Windows platform could not update itself.  Soon after, I started getting errors about C++ Redistributable does not install correctly.  It wasn't a huge problem for a while, and I managed to work around it.  However, my antivirus program is dead, and I'm unable to install a new.  When I try to install programs now, I get the error "side-by-side configuration is incorrect."  I would like to delete the manifest and try to reinstall the application, but I don't know where they are.  At least, it would be a start.  In any case, I am currently without virus protection.  Help!

    So far, I tried to uninstall the Windows updates, but I only managed to install the MS Office updates.  I have even office, although I understand that it is built into the operating system of our days.  I tried many different patches of a lot of different forums and nothing seems to work.  I would like to reinstall the OS, but I bought OEM (from Newegg) and do not have the disc.  I don't even have an easy backup, or even one that I know is 'good'.

    Thanks again for your time and effort.  They are appreciated more than you can imagine.
