• file loss or damage after running automatic updates, cannot run windows without having to re - install

  I am currently running Windows vista 64-bit, but I'm unable to allow automatic updates to run because it results in loss/damage/corruption of files.
  It will install everything as usual and reboot the computer, but instead of windows startup, it reports that windows cannot open because there is a missing or damaged file. The pc is not repairable by placing it in a previous restore point or using the at startup repair shop and I find myself having to reinstall VISTA to get the pc working again. Accordingly, Iam unable to install service packs for Vista or other updates to the system because I don't want to reinstall my computer is there a patch or fix for this error?

  J0seph1ne,
  If you have a question whenever you install an update with the loss of corruption\file then it is possible that you have a problem with your hard drive or with and infection.  You can try the tools\links below.  I suggest you then install just a few updates both to seek only possible that poses a problem.

• How to stop windows vista automatic updates

  Whenever I connect to the internet, I get an update automatic windows vista. This drains my allowance of month for the internet in a few minutes and I can't find an option to stop the download updates automatically.

  It's cost me money, I pay to go on my internet allowance, and I can't stop it!

  See the following articles

  • http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off
  • http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates

  You should not receive updates each time you turn on the computer. Microsoft releases security updates the second Tuesday of each month at 10:00 am PST. No security updates may appear to be the fourth Tuesday of the month. Updates to the Windows Defender definitions are issued twice a week. Windows Security Essentials (if you have one) will be updated daily. There are occasional updates outside this cycle. You should check your update history where an update fails to install and is given several times.

• Windows 7 - automatic updates have worked for 10 hours (5 of 5)

  I ran an auto update last night on my PC and it still works... 5 / 5... 10 hours later. is this correct, and is it normal? How can I get out of it?

  Windows open day and press the button 'Cancel' and then try to reinstall the update failed.

• I have the error in windows xp automatic update 0 x 80240036

  I had installed windows xp pro 32 bit sp3 geniune

  I tried to install the updates but it showing the error number: 0 x 80240036

  I have the latest java installed updates

  A solution was found for 0 x 80240036 error while trying to connect to windows update after a new installation of Windows XP, XP SP1 and SP2 of XP. Here's the skinny: while trying to connect to windows update (custom or express), Windows Update will prompt you with an error 0 x 80240036. Here's the reason: Microsoft has changed the update process, and given that empty Microsoft support for XP, there is a work-by-turn. The work-a-round is simple: network install redistributable download Service Pack 3 (WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3 - x 86 - ENU.exe). The file is quite large and may take a few minutes to download (less than 5 min on 20.0Mbps. 324 030 KB) http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/9/3/99397B1E-41B7-4BC6-980B-01F10231ABDC/WindowsXP-KB2508272-x86-ENU.exe run the installation of Service Pack 3, restart, then try to launch Windows Update from Microsoft. It worked for me. Ignore all the * Antivirus and software... This solution works for new installations of windows OWN who have absolutely NO third-party software what-so-ever. If you have found another solution that does not require the installation of SP3, please do not hesitate to let me know. Good luck!

• main admin deleted after automatic update

  A got a dell pc that came w w Vista Norton anti virus, somehow the main administrator has been deleted after an automatic update, whenever you try to do something ask password admin, no password was never created, suggestions how this can be fixed or main admin restore?  The main administrator has completely disappeared off the coast of user accouts, shows only any other user who is not admin.  Use of the pc is very limited, not working right since he get up and running... so impossible to restore the main admin is it possible to uninstall vista and Add XP or 7

  Hi Mama04,

  1. what update has been installed on the computer?

  Automatic update cannot remove or modify the user accounts on the computer.

  If no password is always set on the computer, and then try to empty password i.e. press ENTER when never password prompt.

  Method 1

  I suggest that you perform the system restore using the installation disc of Windows vista to the point before the update was installed.

  Also check the update has been installed before the problem occurred.

  (a) open Windows Update by clicking Start , all programsand then click Windows Update.

  (b) in the left pane, click view update history.

  Try the step below to achieve the system restore using the Windows vista installation disc.

  If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

  (a) Insert the installation disc.
  (b) restart your computer.
  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.
  (c) If you are prompted, Press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
  Note  If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, seeBIOS: frequently asked questions.
  (d) choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  (e) click on repair your computer.
  (f) to select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  (g) in the System Recovery Options menu, click System Restore.

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-Vista

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then you will need to activate the built-in at the prompt select System Recovery Options menu administrator account and try the command mentioned in the link below.
