Windows will restart without my permission during a long processing task. What can I do?

Can I request a refund for Windows 8 and money for the time lost due to the automatic restart of Windows? What is the problem with Microsoft Developers? How can I cancel this auto reboot forever? Yes I know... I want an another reply to try Linux or Apple ;-)

I think you mean auto restart caused by Windows Update (for complete installation of updates), not just a random restart after error on the computer, such as described Shakur S23 .

If Windows Update does, I think that the best thing to do is to change the update settings. Open the control panel and go to the system and security > Windows Update. Then click on "change settings" on the left panel. Finally, select "Download updates but let me choose whether to install" under important updates and click OK. Now that you have changed this setting, don't completely ignore updates. It is not recommended to select 'never check updates' this option will set your PC at risk vulnerabilities unpatched in the future as more are discovered.

I hope this helps.

    I do not speak for Microsoft. However, I saw many times when working with clients in your situation with regard to the reactivation of windows because of the failure of a component. They are not, however, responsible for providing you with a windows disc that should be provided by your computer manufacturer. However, if I were you, I would ask to borrow a disc of windows of a friend or a neighbour then contact Microsoft for activation, making sure to explain the circumstances surrounding the re-setup.

    Hello

    I have problems with my laptop, after I installed the update of the operating system Windows 10. Once installation is complete, my system went into a "restart" and has not restarted in fact still. He has been on the color screen, with the white circle, loading wheel beside the word "reboot" for about 17 hours now and I don't know if I have to force down my system or just wait it out. Thanks for the help.

    Well, 17 hours is too so obviously he has stuck. Unfortunately, there is no other choice than hard reboot (using the computers start button).  There seems to be no other option.

  • Windows will not update, repair corrupted files, refresh or reset. What I'm doing.

    Heyo. Im running windows 8, with about 2000 (I think) corrupted files that it contains. /sfc scannow does not fix any of them. /DISM / /restorehealth/cleanup-image online doesn't solve all these either. I can't update or repair my laptop due to files is corrupt, and all updates (about 52 GB worth of updates accumulate) do not install. I need to solve this problem, because I want to sell this laptop, it is in perfect condition except for these problems. I tried hundreds of ways to solve this problem, and none of them worked. Even tried installing the trial evaluation copy Windows 8.1 to reset my pc, but not even that would install. IM in need you guys. I'd love any help that I can get and will be willing to give something (other than money) if requested :)

    Laptop comes with windows pre-installed 8. Need update windows 8.1 update, but it does not.

    Thanks in advance.

    Seems to me that your best bet is to contact your computer support and request a set of Recovery Disks.Note that there is usually a small fee for these expenses. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

However, for all other purposes on the web, Firefox is as good as it has always been, help please?

  • Have to reboot windows vista Home premium, but I have no recovery disk. What can I do?

    I bought my computer in January Circuit City and as part of the purchase, they installed windows vista and other programs such as Norton Internet Security. Recently, my system has been "acting" and the folks at Symantec tell me I can get a worm who slipped in front of the protections. Because this worm was now hidden from detection and very probably damaged my registry files, they suggested I have reformat my system and reinstall all of the BONE upward. I searched through the discs that I got with my pc and I have everything EXCEPT the OS! Whats is worse because their people installed, I have the product identification code, but I think that there is another code for validation that I did not. Circuit City is out of business now and I don't know what to do. I know that my currently installed copy of vista is genuine, but what I need to know is that if there is a way I can reinstall vista on my pc without having to buy another copy?

    Hi lxlthr,

    Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

    Please check under your laptop or your desktop to locate a sticker with the product key for Windows Vista.  If they exist, you can probably use another copy of Vista to install, without making a purchase, a new product key.  If they are not located on this computer or anywhere you can find, then you need to get a different product key to reinstall the operating system.

    Note: Formatting the hard drive will erase all data, programs and user settings you have on the computer. If there is no information on this computer and you don't want to lose, or is not guaranteed, you will need to make backups before proceeding with the INSTALLATION of FORMAT / CLEAN.

    Hope this helps,

    Problem fixed, for now.  Was able to start in safe mode and did a restore.  Run Windows Update and all is well.  Don't know where the problem came because it is a branded PC after only 2 hours of use, and the only thing I downloaded outside the windows update is an update for Silverlight.
