Sound and settings not working ("Task Host Window" when closing)

Okay I am not sure where to focus exactly and I am not good at articulating these problems because I don't know much about computers, so I will just try and make a simple list of problems that occured at the exact same time, and therefor must be related:
I had just installed an update which took quite a while.
Every time I close down my computer it says "Task Host Window" has to be shut down. It says underneath (translated from Danish): "Assignment host is stopping background tasks
Sound doesn't work. Not normally or with different speakers or anything like that. The sound icon shows a red circle with an X
Automatic start up programmes such as Dropbox and Sticky Notes don't start up unless I do no manually
Most parts of settings just show blank when I try to access them eg. control panel and parts of PC settings
Saving words documents (I suspect because OneDrive has to be accessed first) is really slow, but once they are saved ctrl+S works like a charm
I have tried:
I heard turning off onedrive would help, but when I go to PC setting -> OneDrive it doesn't respond
I tried a HotFix for Task Host Window but nothing happened
Trouble Shooting the sound by clicking the sound icon (which has a red circle with an X) tells me 'one or more sound services isn't running' and when I click 'see more ways' it goes to a blank site within control panel
I suspect there's some simple way to start the sound manually and it's simply being blocked, and honestly if I could just get it to start manually when I needed it, I could live with all these other problems. The sound is the most important!!
Thank you in advance
ps. I haven't been able to find my exact operating system and notebook information due to the problems with the settings, but I know it's an EVNY with a sound system by BEATS BY DRE and the operating system is windows 8

Task Host when logging off

When logging off there are usually services running that need to be ended first. Well one of those is something with the Task Host exe I think. Just wondering what is being stopped by this and if this is a normal function for my mini netbook?
It is a NB245-N255 with windows 7 Starter on it.

NB245-N255
Maybe this one?

You are not the only one affected by the hang in Taskhost.exe.
There is a delay when you shut down, restart, or log off a computer that is running Windows 7 or...

Your request for info got me thinking about another oddity I've been working on this week - My firewall (NetGear SRX5308) shows dropped incoming packets from ip 65.55.121.94 with source port 443 and destination port 55338. ARIN shows the ip belongs
to MICROSOFT-1BLK, aka Microsoft. Is it possible that my firewall is blocking communication to MS's licensing servers?

Windows Update tasks in Task Scheduler (Windows 8.1)

In the Task Scheduler under Windows Update there are a few tasks :
AUFFirmwareinstall
AUScheduledinstall
AUSessionConnect
Scheduled Start
Scheduled Start with Network
The status of the 1st , 2nd and 3rd is as unable.
With the next 2 there are following problems : the result after run is :
Scheduled Start : (0x420) and Scheduled Start with Network : ok (0x0) or 1st is ok and 2nd 0x420
Would appreciate an advice or comments how to make them work properly.
Best regards, EwaGosia

Hi Yolanda,
Thank you very much for your attention and reply. At status of the tasks under Windows Update after 1st planned run /today in the morning/ has looked as follows :
AUFFirmwareinstall, AUScheduledinstall and AUSessionConnect as disabled and
Scheduled Start : (0x420) and Scheduled Start with Network : ok (0x0).
Have noticed that at app. the same time Scheduled Start with Network run in the Control Panel - Windows Update there is information about the last research with no result/no updates found , so it seems it is working.
After this this both tasks were planned to start next 2nd time later today and the result for both is now:
Scheduled Start : (0x420) and Scheduled Start with Network : (0x420).
The next start has been planned for tomorrow morning (it is made by the system in the Task scheduler and I can not change).
Will look if the system can install automatically the updates when find as till now I made it simply from Windows Update in control Panel to click "install". My laptop is quite new and would like to check if the system can fix automatic installation
of next Windows 8.1 Updates.
Would appreciate if you still have some comments.
Thanks and best regards, Ewa

Create failover cluster to host Windows 2012 DC, Exchange 2013 and SQL as VMs

One of our clients has running Windows Essential 2012, SQL and exchange 2007 as VM on VMware for 4 years without major issue. However, the physical server is getting old and have some hardware issues recently. They have budgets to buy two Dell servers, EqualLogic
SAN, Windows server 2012 Datacenter and Exchange 2013. Is it possible for them to create failover cluster to host Windows 2012 DC, Exchange 2013 and SQL as VMs?

Why does Acrobat XI PRO freeze during save or save as tasks in Window 8?

Why does Acrobat XI PRO freeze during save or save as tasks in Window 8? It is intermittent, but CHRONIC, and I am forced to "repair" the installation, or reboot by computer. This has been a problem since upgrading to Windows 8 and installing the only Acrobat XI update. Feedback most welcome and appreciated, but an Adobe FIX would be the best solution.

10/4 to all, same problem here with Save or Save As in Acrobat XI Pro using Win 8 Pro, is it Adobe or Win 8 or both causing the problem.
FYI, I just retired and am trying to archive/reduce my printed material and pictures to pdf, this continuing problem is really the pits.................

Is there a way to start a Sequence with Task Manager (Windows)

Hi
Is there a way to start a Sequence with Task Manager (Windows)?

Hi,
That is too bad I can not schedule my action Wizard to run via Windows scheduler... The funney things about is that on the same machine that I have created the Action Wizard and saved to to my desktop via export, when I click on it to run it asks me you want to Import that action to your Acrobat Pro X? Okay or Cancel... That Action is already there in my action Wizard List and I have exported from this same machine and I was trying to see if I can schedule it via this command:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat <C:\Users\Bahram\Desktop\OCRFaxedPDFs.sequ

If that is true, then what is the following TechNet article discussing?

Excerpt:

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2
The backward compatibility module is used by Task Scheduler to register and run tasks that were created to run on Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000.

I've tried everything I can.''' reloaded mouse drivers. Complelty uninstalled and reinstalled FF''' and I still can't get the mouse to work. If I keep the task manager window open and click on it then it will work for about two clicks and I have to do it all over again. It has effected Thunderbird also.
THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG TILL I DOWNLOADED FF5. THE MOUSE WORKS FINE IN OTHER BROWSERS AND PROGRAMS

Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw

Hi,
I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
are missing.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc., -BUT-
The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively-
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )
