    Windows update on win 7 pc at odd times of the month


    My family pc is a win 7 pc (3 GB RAM, 266 GB free space on C; drive, 5-7 years old?) that has so far survived updates from windows except for one BSOD episode after the Autumn update last year as I recall. It took a week and gave only BSOD and then all was well for no apparent reason.

    Starting the past couple of months, my wife and I notice that Microsoft must be on the pc, for no apparent reason at any time during the month. The pc slows to a crawl for up to half a day, maybe three days in a row.

    Then last month, during one of those episodes, the windows icon appeared but disappeared hours later. The pc was still useless and as I tried to shut down, a notice appeared that windows was updating. By the next day, all was fine but no updates.

    For this pc, I regularly receive updates on the Wednesday after the 2nd Tuesday. all have been successful.

    This month, same thing, the pc slowed to a crawl for three days. No activity allowed. As before, the windows update icon was on for a few hours. Then nothing.

    So on the 11th, in the morning, windows update behavior takes over but the icon does not appear until the afternoon and then the update download completed within in an hour or so and I successful installed them. When I looked at the history to see what was installed, in addition to the successful updates from the 11th, there was this:

    Three empty lines, i.e. no name, status failed, importance recommended, date 7/5. This would have been the three days last week when Microsoft took over the pc for three days.

    Does anybody know what's up?

    Then after I installed the updates on 7/11, within an hour, a message from Microsoft appeared saying it was shutting off Aero as my pc appeared to be "sluggish" and there are no longer enough system resources.

    Now I have aluminum foil all over my head because I've never seen this kind of intrusions before?

    Again, does anybody know what's up?

    Thank you kindly!

    :)

    You can add me to the list of Win 7 users. I've been using Windows 7 Pro for about a month now and I love it.

    Windows 7 update help needed

    Language packs should be listed in the optional updates section of Windows Update.

    As for installing Win 7, it should merely ask for the qualifying media to be inserted to the dvd drive. That's what XP upgrade install discs did when there wasn't a previous OS installed.

  4. Windows update on win 7 pc at odd times of the month

    IS Win 10 Read? or Reinstall 7 and Install 10 in 9 months.

    If what i read was correct its the ultimate irony as they P2P your pc so u can "windows update" other PC (I hear u can turn that off) But the good p2p is at threat. I hope waiting will work in that there will be an outcry that MS is stepping over the line by a mile and they revert back to the win 7 days of largely hands off. No matter what ive read u can turn 3/4, 2/3 off but not all of the intrusiveness.
