Windows 10: MULTIPLE DEFINATION UPDATES AND SCANS FROM M S E ON A DAILY BASIS.

I have a Win 7 Professional, with 8 GB Ram which I have been using for the last 10 years. Ever since I have owned this Laptop, I have been using Microsoft Security Essentials as my anti-virus. Till 2nd February 2021, I have had no issues with M S E which updates and scans my Laptop around 06:00 A.M. on a daily basis.


From 3rd February 2021, I have noticed that MSE has been updating and scanning my Laptop atleast three times a day against the norm of once every 24 hours. I found this very strange. I wish to point out that I have made no changes on my Laptop. The only thing I suspect is that this has started only after the Engine number has changed as under :


Upto 2nd February, 2021 Previous Engine Version was 1.1.17700.4


3rd February 2021 onwards Updated Engine Version is : 1.1.17800.5


MSE, now it seems has been updating definitions and scanning computers on a random basis. I also wish to add that if my Laptop is not connected to the Internet and MSE decides to update definitions at that time, an error is reported as under :


Event ID: 2001 Microsoft Antimalware has encountered an error trying to update signatures.

I would be keen to know if others are facing the same problem. Would Microsoft take this up in right earnest ?

.Net Native Framework Package 1.0 and VCLibs 12 updating numerous times daily

Hi

Since my previous post Windows has updated to version 1511-10586 and this seems to have resolved the problem , the files I listed are no longer updating multiple times on a daily basis.

Thanks for your help

 

Windows 10 Pro Reactivation on Daily Basis

I have a problem with my PC requiring reactivation on a daily basis. The activation error is 0xC004F050 which suggests that I have changed the motherboard but that is not the case. I can reactivate the Windows 10 Pro account with the Troubleshooter or
by re-entering the Product Key or by using the online activation, etc., but the activation error returns the next day. I purchased an OEM version of Windows 10 Pro 64 last May 2018 for a new home built PC and it worked fine until about a month ago. I updated
the motherboard BIOS and some drivers and the Intel Management Engine but have not changed any hardware except for swapping monitors. I prefer not to reinstall Windows if I don't have to.

What can I do to fix this daily reactivation routine?

 

Intel Updates Core 2 Quad Q9550 to E-0 Stepping

We continue our Monday news list with another Intel story that brings to our attention information concerning the company and more specificly its 2.83GHz Core 2 Quad Q9550 chips that will move from the current C-1 to the newer E-0 stepping. The updated chips will start selling on August 22nd, featuring the following changes:

• New SSpec and MM numbers for the converting products
• CPUID will change from 0x10677 to 0x1067A
• Package change to Halide free package

Apart from that, the new stepping CPUs will not include any other changes. Of course, like most new stepping parts a BIOS update will be needed.
