Updated successfully up to 11/11. but from 9/12 all updates after " Security update for flash player..... KB 3119147 has failed. Screen shows updating but nothing is downloaded.
As an aside, and I'm not sure about relevance, If i request restart the system hangs. Showing "restarting do not turn off" but with no activity on drive. It will hang for an hour and will not restart without cold boot.
My computer is a Toshiba 64-bit laptop.
I had a job running last night, downloading stuff from the internet. I knew would take approximately 30 hours to run. It ran most of yesterday and I had hopes I would wake up this morning and it would be finished.
Windows 10, in its infinite wisdom, installed updates and restarted my computer during the night. My job was ended and I had to restart it this morning. I can't run anything else that accesses the internet while this is running because it slows this job down too much. So now I have another day or more of not being able to do anything else on the internet.
How can I stop the updating and restarting of my computer? It is my computer, I should have control over that.
i am scared enough about the automatic updates that i turn off the update service

View 2 RepliesDate: 10th September 2015. Machine working fine under windows 10 for over a month. Checked to see what Microsoft updates after doing a Microsoft Defender full scan and everything ok. It seemed from settings->check for updates that there were a number of updates that required the machine to download and restart. Decided to update immediately and did the same on a dell laptop and Linx 10 tablet all running windows 10. All machines did update and restarted fine, except my main laptop - Toshiba Satellite S55t-A5334 did not recover after the update and is now continuously in "Restarting" loop. Tried powering up and down and trying to force it to reset into some sort of safe mode. how I can get it into state that will allow me to go back to the last known working state as I'm fairly sure this is an update that is not compatible with the hardware.
View 2 RepliesHow can I turn off windows updates?The new windows update settings page is extremely basic and appears to lack many options from windows 7. I am concerned about updates downloading and update checks being performed whilst gaming. I would not be happy with bandwidth or system resources being used up during my play sessions as performance may be impacted.Is there any way to either disable the updates or to ensure update checks and downloads are only performed at specific times?

View 4 RepliesMy Question is that how can I permanently turn off windows 10 updates . I am using Windows 10 Enterprise .
View 3 Replieshow there's no option to turn off automatic Windows Updates. There's only the option to allow new updates to download and install automatically. And the other option to choose when you want to install the updates. But no option to turn off Windows Update from downloading updates. If you wanted to download and check for new updates manually.
Why must Windows 10 security depend on Windows Defender to run occasional scans and to protect the computer, when you have your own security product such as example Norton. Which does regular frequent scans and has more regular definition updates than Windows Defender?If you have a high performance computer. Store apps you can get and install. Most apps have lagging and crashing issues at odd times if your in a middle of a project, watching media or playing mobile app games.
Using third party themes that Microsoft provides. Particularly themes that has multiple wallpaper slideshows. Causes desktop to act up. If you adjust if you're a gamer. Adjusting the graphic settings from Window to Full Screen or vice versa constantly. It causes desktop screen to be chopped, leaving echo past activity screens that you have closed. Which then makes you having to come to the conclusion of restarting Windows to get it back to normal.
As for pc games. If you play some games that aren't Windows 10 supported. You experience issues trying to get the game to load, crashing back to desktop or even internet stability issues for games that uses internet. It amazes me how Microsoft promotes Windows 10 with full of pride of them saying in certain Outlook Microsoft newsletter promotions. That they say Windows 10 is perfect for gaming. When it clearly proves the opposite.
Does the new Maps app being built for the phone and PC features voice turn-by-turn navigation? I know the current Maps app does not. You need to use Here Drive or another third party app for voice navigation.
View 1 RepliesI am having problems with me Mouse and key board, on boot up they will turn on for about 20 seconds then turn off. Then a error comes up,inaccessible_ boot_drive. But if I restart my pc the mouse and keyboard will do the same thing but instead of the error I get, choose keyboard layout, and a list of options but I cant choose them because the mouse isn't working. This all started happening after I upgraded my power supple but I when I put my old power supple in I had the same problem. I have windows 10and I have tried using different keyboards and different usb ports.

When I open certain folders, Windows Explorer just restarts itself. There is no "explorer has stopped working" message and the screen doesn't fade as if it's hanging.
Sometimes, it just closes the explorer window instantly when opening a folder and reloads the taskbar, but sometimes it opens the folder, shows no files and says "Working on it..." for about 5 seconds and the entire PC freezes before closing the folder and reloading the taskbar (essentially restarting explorer).
I can't access files on a certain folder that I need, and I even tried copying the folder I need to access and pasting it onto my desktop to see if I could work around it that way, but that just causes the same thing to happen and doesn't paste the folder.
It only seems to happen in folders with certain files in them. I program multiplayer game servers and have quite a few different folders containing the files for these different servers and it only seems to happen with these folders. It's like explorer has a problem with showing a particular file type or something.
When I restart my computer I have a message that I have an app open.But I never saw this one until I installed W10. It says it is Faceaway Countdown dlg.I looked on the app list from the computer and it is not there. I searched google and did not see it.Is this a part of MSFT or google because I use their browser ? Or is it phishing ?

View 3 Repliesapparently since i upgraded to windows 10, whenever i install app that ask/required for the system to reboot to finish up installation, windows 10 doesn't pop out the "Windows need to restart etc..bla bla, Yes / NO " dialog box. it just auto restart as per the application need i guess.. is there anyway to make window 10 to ask for my permission to restart instead of just restarting on its own.

View 6 RepliesAfter upgrading my Windows 8.1 system to to Windows10 , when I restart or turn on my computer the numbers lock key is not turned on. This may sound trivial, but if I forget about it, my passwords won't work because many of the passwords contain numbers. Is there a way for me to keep the numbers lock key on when my computer restarts?
View 9 RepliesI think I have some registry conflicts. The battery/audio systray icons are no longer appearing, and the screen keeps flickering which causes applications to hang. Sometimes programs will even switch on their own.
If I use the browsers in full screen I don't have unresponsive issues. Though explorer still restarts periodically.

View 4 RepliesI have a PC to 1½ years and recently I upgraded the VGA and Windows 8.1 for 10.
With the new VGA, I used it in windows 8 per 1 month and with the windows 10 for 1 week with no problem. Until in one weekend he gone crazy and began to restart from scratch, without notice. Simply restarted.
Makes 2 weeks to this problem, it was two bad days, Saturday and Sunday, then went one week without restarting, I thought it was neat. Until it happened again on Monday, and now again on Wednesday.
It happened every time when I was doing simple tasks, incredibly when I played games it does not restart. In the days that it was restarting, it restarts several times in succession, and without any warning or beep. One of the times it seemed that he tried to call several times in succession until it was.
What I did to try to solve:
- I changed the memory slots
- Full format (installed windows 10 again)
- I cleaned the pc
- I put it in one take (with power strip with fuse)
- Reseted the BIOS
- I saw the voltages and did not notice anything wrong (on the bios)
- I took and put the video card
- Monitored temperatures: Video card, motherboard and processor. Everything is OK!
My Specs:
Windows 10
VGA: EVGA Geforce GTX970 SC 4Gb
Source: Corsair CMPSU-600G 600W Real
Memory: DDR3 Corsair 8GB XMS3 CMX8GX3M2A1600C9
Processor: i5 3330
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
HD: SG Barracuda 2TB
SSD: Evo 850 250gb
The strange thing is that it shuts down when I'm doing beasts things, using chrome and worse, it is a few days without giving the problem, but when you give it gets the whole day restarting, and sometimes, he does not expect Windows finishes the boot, he ta still carrying (and looks that the ssd loads fast) he has restarts.
I tested it without HD, SSD and VGA and changed the memories in all slots and interspersing them. He restarted on the Bios.
We try to reset the bios again and he was 3h without restarting in those three hours we monitoring the temperature playing heavy games like The Witcher 3, but nothing happening. When he gave 4h the PC restarted again.
