You restart your system - daily or monthly?

I recently spent 35 minutes stop and restarting my Mobile Precision Workstation.  This somewhat ridiculous amount of time is largely due to my having about 15 different applications open with each 20 records, which many had not yet been rescued yet (Yes, that's just how I work).

I realized this was about 3 weeks I had last restarted and began to wonder: how often other people actually restart their systems, and how many applications they generally open at the same time?

DELL-Patrick McF,

Do you have a backup plan?

What would happen to your work, if there was a power failure?

It is IMPORTANT to make copies of files and folders that you can not afford to lose. This should be a normal practice. The company that I work has a network folder for each employee who has access to the computer. The network folder is backed up on a daily basis. If the computer malfunctions, all my files and folders I use is backed up on the network (I also them on a flash drive) so I won't lose all my work.

  • !!! BEWARE OF A SCREEN BLUE (WHEN YOU START YOUR SYSTEM) WITH A LONG QUESTION. WE HAVE ONLY 10 SECONDS TO RESPOND AND REACT TO THE! Somebody has hacked my system / do I have a virus?

    Hi all

    Basically, several months ago I noticed something strange on my computer - I know that I should have acted immediately - my Task Manager has been "disabled by Administrator [my]". Yet, I am the administrator!

    Secondly, I lit my system yesterday and was immediately welcomed with a pale blue screen with lots of white, writing, that says, ' we recommend strongly you do not press "ENTER"...? If you do and you want to move before the expiry of the period...? " However, in time, that I tried to browse what was in front of me (that I was unable to catch everything), a 10 sec period had expired and many more white/numbers/text symbols suddenly started flowing to the bottom of my screen (for 15-20 seconds-from left to right)! In addition, my turn makes an unusual noise - as serious an alert! Immediately after, my system loaded up as usual!

    So, I opened the Start Menu (after I restarted my computer to activate the Safe Mode) and the arrow keys has / not working -I can't navigate upwards or downwards to select one of the options! Yet, they have worked perfectly any other time since - just not in Start Menu! Then, I scanned with Windows Defender and nothing has found summer - my "system is safe."

    Third, since then, I've noticed that my system (Windows XP) ran much more slowly too - informed the script is busy, plug-ins are insensitive, etc. - and the/things are / dragged across the screen! Therefore, I searched the forum and help guide to Firefox for everything that seemed similar and came across an instance of another person things 'slide' with a slow system, who suspects a virus! So, I followed the advice given to them - reset Firefox and download a "10 days free Microsoft Virus Scanner" (recorded under msert.exe); He set off to search for more than 9 hours, which found nothing/no infected files!

    Finally, for all that, I can not use system restore or reset Firefox! I never pressed ENTER when the message appeared - do you think I should be?

    I know that my version of Windows has expired and I plan to update very soon, but do not want to lose all the vital files. So, I am currently the backup copies.

    All this activity may be connected? Or would it be different things are happening? And also, please could someone perhaps shed light on what happened or if they can help somehow? I would be VERY grateful.

    Thank you very much

    Bruce.

    Since we have not heard from you lately, I will go ahead and tell you how to fix your problem disabled Task Manager (and probably a few other things):

    Basically, when you see these errors, the usual advice is something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that advice really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor (unless it's really good advice).

    Basically, you need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that may have been disabled.

    Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove (like Task Manager), the malware disables the things you tend to use and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

    If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

    The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

    If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    You can also manually create a system restore point before you make these adjustments.

    Open Notepad (and only Notepad) to create a new text file:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

    Copy and paste the following lines in BOLD text into the new Notepad file:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    "DisableTaskMgr" = -.

    "NoSetTaskbar" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "NoControlPanel" = -.

    Save the new text file with extension .reg on your desktop or somewhere you can remember with a name you can remember, something like:

    enableit.reg

    After you save the file, close Notepad.

    Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose merge or open with... and select the registry editor or import.

    Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

    You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

    Reboot your system and test to make sure the changes 'stick '.

    You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

    If the registry editor has also been disabled, you will see a message like this:

    Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator.

    We must therefore first difficulty (not a problem).

    Click Start, run, and in the type box (or just copy / paste the entire order in the window run more safe) the following text:

    reg delete HKCU/v DisableRegistryTools/f

    Then see if regedit behaves (of course it will be).

  • Failed to create task scheduler to restart the system automatically within the given interval

    Dear experts,

    I have two accounts on my computer. One was a Director and another was normal user. but the two users are protected by Word.

    When I log in as normal user, how can I set a task in the Scheduler to restart the computer once every 6 hours.

    Thank you

    KP Swamy

    Hello PK Swamy.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

    The Task Scheduler service lets you perform tasks on a chosen computer automated. With this service, you can program any program to run at a convenient time for you, or when a specific event occurs. Task Scheduler monitors the time criteria or the event that you choose and execute the task when these criteria are met.

    I understand that you are not able to create the Task Scheduler to restart the system. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

    I suggest you try the following steps to create the Task Scheduler:

    1. click on start, type taskschd.msc in the start search box and press enter (it will launch the Task Scheduler).

    Note: If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation and click Ok.

    2 left click in the right pane on the Task Scheduler Library > open Action in main menu > new folder > name MyTasks > click Ok.

    3. left-click on the MyTasks > menu, choose Action > create a basic task (it open Assistant tasks).

    4. you can enter the name , for example "restart" and click on Next.

    5. in the trigger section, you can specify when you want to run your task, for example:

    a. Select daily and the press Next.

    b. now you can specify the day, time and all reproduce on a daily basis, after the press Next.

    6. in the Action section, you can choose what you want to run, for example, restart your system to do this:

    a. choose start a program and press on Next.

    b. in the field program/script , type shutdown /r and click on Next.

    7. click on end.
