Automatic Windows Update keeps shutting off

I'm running windows 7 64-bit with Windows Defender, Windows firewall and ESET NOD32 anti-virus on a domain network.  Automatic updates keep switching from automatic to manual mode several times throughout the day.  Updates work fine, they just
don't remain in "auto" mode.  I've tried the following to fix the problem with no luck:
1) Windows defender and ESET scans with nothing found
2) Numerous on-line anti-virus / malware scans with nothing found (Housecall, Malwarebytes, etc.)
3) Kapersky root-kit scan with nothing found
4) Windows update Fix-IT applied
5) All update services (BITS, Updater) set to autostart
Any ideas?

Hi,
I would like suggest you try the follwoing suggestions:
1. Boot into
Clean Boot Mode and test the issue.
2. Try System Update Readiness tool by referring to
What is the System Update Readiness Tool?
3. You may try to Reset Windows Update components for check.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

  • I have a ipod nano shuffle, 6th gen.  I bought it when I had Windows Vista.  I upgraded to Windows Ultimate 7.  Now it keeps shutting off.  Have to press power button and touch arrow to restart.  3 to 4 times a song.  I ran diagnostics.  Passed until end.

    Have iPod Nano Shuffle 6th Gen.  I purchased it when I had Windows Vista.  I have since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate .  Was fine with Vista.  Now, it keeps shutting off during the song, 3 or 4 times.  Have to press power button and then arrow to restart song.  I went to my iTunes and ran diagnostics.  Passed all until the end.  The last test had a red dot failure.  It said no iPod, iPhone, or iPad found.  Does someone know how I can correct the problem?  iTunes is always updating, so I am current.

    My system keeps shutting off unexpectedly after updating it to OS X 10.8.2 (12C60). is there anything that can be done to correct this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Phone keeps shutting off after updated to ios 7

    My phone just started randomly shutting off as soon as the update finished. When will it stop shutting off? why does it keep shutting off?

    Try resetting your iPhone:
    Reset: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    ever since i updated my 4th generation ipod touch software to 6.0.1 it keeps shutting off for no reason. anyone know why it might do this?

    If the reset does no work
    Try:
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Maybe the replacement is defective.

  • My Apple TV 3 keeps shutting off

    I used to own an Apple TV 3 first generation which I returned for a newer one because of wi-fi issues. But now, witht he new one (MODEL MD199LL/A), ever since I installed the 5.2.1 updated software, it keeps shutting off for no good reason. Sometimes it will turn back on after a couple of seconds and the movie I was watching will be paused a few seconds later than were it was at, but other times, it simply freezes and I have to force-reboot the device.
    I tried rebooting it, I tried restoring it (both from the Apple TV directly and from iTunes) but nothing seems to work. This never happened to me before this specific update. This is quite annoying, especially since I rented a movie on my Apple TV and can't get it to download on my iMac for some stupid reason...
    Has this happened to anyone else lately?

    I should also add that the LED on my device is always on, so it seems to be a problem of signal going to the tv.

  • My ipad keeps shutting off and cannot restart immediately

    please help, my ipad keeps shutting off for no reason and will not come back on again unti it is ready.  at least 5 times now very frustrating.
    any suggestions?

    Damien.
    First, try to do a full backup—reset—restore of your iPad via iTunes. (a) Plug in and, if it doen't start automatically, run iTunes, (b) back up your iPad, (c) do a total reset, (d) restore this last backup.
    If this is enough, just go ahead and do it.
    Otherwise, do like me — dummy — and read the excerpt from Apple's KB below:
    --- Quote
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    (...)  You will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    --- Unquote
    If this does not work, (and probably won't, but it's a 5-minute operation), then you should seek hardware assistance. If it's a brand (or almost) new iPad, go back to the shop and they will give you a new one, without much trouble... It use to happen with iPods and exchanging the product was routine in this shutoff—restart issue.

  • Automatic Windows Updates?

    I use Windows-7 and have Verizon Security Suite (and Verizon backup).
    I've read in many places that it's vital to keep your computer current on Windows updates, and that it's highly recommended to set your computer for automatic updates.  Yet, in telephoning Verizon technical reps to help with various problems on my computer, some have told me that I should NOT have my computer set for automatic Windows updates, and that if I do, my computer will eventually get to where it won't even work!  Is this true?  Should I EVER update my Windows settings?

    Windows Updates (Automatic or done manually) have broken computer(s).
    Between Automatic and doing them manaully, I would recommend doing them manually.
    By manaully, I mean..
    a) Going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
    b) Not clicking on express. The other option...
    You do the updates manaully every so often. Typcially the second Tuesday of each month is when the patches/updates are released.
    If you are the original poster (OP) and your issue is solved, please remember to click the "Solution?" button so that others can more easily find it. If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the "Kudos" button.

  • My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet?  What could be the problem?  How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

    My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet?  What could be the problem?  How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

    That it is still working is miraclous.. most have died.. lots started flaking out at 18months to 2years..
    See deadtimecapsule.org
    The few that remained now seem to have reached EOL.. you can repair if you have some skills.. fairly cheaply.
    But it is well and truly time to replace.

  • Mac Pro keeps shutting off randomly

    Hey guys,
    My Macbook Pro keeps shutting off randomly. Its been doing it for a few months now and I was finally able to restore it to factory settings to see if that would fix the problem but it hasnt. Sometimes it will shut off every five minutes, other times it will be maybe once an hour. I've noticed that it is more likely to shut off when I'm visiting youtube or watching a video/viewing a site with lots of pictures.
    By "shutting off" I mean that the screen goes black and I have to hold down the power button until it completely turns off and then restart it.
    When I turn my computer back on it sometimes has a reason for the problem, which I copied and pasted below:

    Kara436,
    some 15-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pros are known to have a defect in their NVIDIA GPUs. Given the symptoms which you’d described, yours might have that defect also. Apple had a gratis servicing program for three years from the MacBook Pro’s date of purchase; they still offer the servicing, but it is no longer guaranteed to be gratis. I’d recommend that you make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service center, to have them run their Video System Test on your MacBook Pro, which will confirm whether or not its NVIDIA GPU has the defect.

  • I updated my ipod touch, then a while later it said waiting for update then shut off. then started turning on and off, what do i do ?

    I updated my ipod touch, then a while later it said waiting for update then shut off. then started turning on and off, what do i do ?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iMac (2007) keeps shutting off when in Full Screen mode (DVD, iTunes Visualizer, etc.) This only happens when I have an external monitor hooked up HDMI.

    My iMac (2007) keeps shutting off when in Full Screen mode (DVD, iTunes Visualizer, etc.) This only happens when I have an external monitor hooked up HDMI. Help?

    Try using another connection such as VGA or DVI to see if the problem repeats itself.

  • My MBA keeps shutting off every 5 minutes. what is happening? I can't do any work done because of it. :(

    My MBA keeps shutting off every 5 minutes. what is happening? I can't do any work done because of it.

    Same problem for me, it happened after 3 weeks.
    I had to call Apple, althrough they couldn't solve the problem by phone.
    Genius bar were full so they sent me to a local store.
    Looks like it has something to do with the graphic card. It occured when I plugged my macbook to my iMac for screen the 1st time
    11 days later I'm still waiting to get my macbook back. Hope you can get it faster!
    Very disapointed with the support quality and product quality.
