Windows 8 automatic update keeps turning itself off

My windows 8 automatic update alert to turn it on keeps alerting me that it needs to be turned on,( the little flag to go to action center with the red background and white cross..)
so i go to action center and change the setting from automatic updates off to on (recommended) automatic update, yet maybe 30 mins later it pops up again to tell me its off and needs setting to turn on automatic updates.
I would like to leave it set at the recommended setting , but for some reason it reverts back to off, after some time, even after rebooting etc.
Please help, could it have anything to do with the new bit defender i have purchased or the fact that i have not been able to trust this pc? as i did a system refresh only days before i installed bit defender .
so yeh also having trouble trusting my pc?? ive signed in so many times i give up trying to follow the prompts, as i don't really keep passwords etc on my pc i was not so worried about that but it could be this that caused this prob, or the fact i haven't
updated to win 8.1, the reason i did not update to win 8.1 was because the new system created two accounts for me n my wife , and i did not wish to have such and it was just a nightmare so i uninstalled it along with many other reasons ive now forgot, but
it was not user friendly for my purposes in sharing a laptop with my wife.
any help would be appreciated in layman's terms as i am not really a wizard on these computers.
Thank you

Some AV and or malware programs will do this. I'd try a clean boot to test.

After updating my iPod 4 and my iPhone 3gs to 5.1 it keeps turning itself off whenever I'm trying to load a larger web-page, or doing some hard operations. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

After updating my iPod 4 and my iPhone 3gs to 5.1 it keeps turning itself off whenever I'm trying to load a larger web-page, or doing some hard operations. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Have yu tried the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Set date and time automatically keeping turning itself off?

Every time I go to the App Store I get a pop-up stating that it can't connect and that this may be caused by an incorrect date and time setting. I go to Settings and discover that "Set Automatically" has somehow turned itself off. I can turn it back on and then access the App Store. Until the next time. When the whole problem starts over. Why won't it stay on Set Automatically? Thanks.

Try this first. Reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work, you can reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. That will turn all of the settings back to factory defaults and you will have to enter them again. You will not lose any data.
You can also try restoring from a backup - if you have a recent backup. The backup contains the device settings and that just might work. It worked for me when I was experiencing the very same problem that you are having.

My nokia 5300 keeps turning itself off

Help my nokia 5300 keeps turning itself off. It won't let me read my messages. Everytime I press the key to read my messages it just goes off. I only had it about 6 months!!!

Hi,
The phone software of your N5300 got corrupted or messed up. It's either you can update it (by yourself) or send it to the Nokia Care Centre for a reflash.
Try updating your phone's firmware by clicking to this link below:

Make sure you meet the system requirements before proceeding and backup some of your important contents.
Good luck

My iPod touch keeps turning itself off

My iPod touch keeps turning itself off. My iPod is fully updated and charged. When i try and turn it on the apple symbol comes on but a bit later turns itself off again (even when on a charger) what should 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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- 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 ipad2 keeps turning itself off and On

my ipad2 keeps turning itself off and on. I can be playing a game or looking on the Internet and it will just turn off and restart all by itself. I pulled up and hooked it up to itunes on my computer but I'm not really sure what to do there either. It's so annoying, especially when it's used daily, or all day, by me or my kids and it's constantly shutting off in the middle of things.

DId the rebooting start recently after doing an iOS update or installing a game?
There could be several reasons for your iPad randomly shutting down & restarting.
Sometimes low memory (RAM) can cause the issue.
First, restart the iPad by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears then let go and wait until the iPad boots up normally. This can help clear the cache & free up memory.
If that doesn't work, try a general reset:
Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data but will have to log back into your Wifi networks.
If the issue occurs while using a particular app, try uninstalling the app to see if it continues.
As a last resort try restoring the iPad back to factory settings. Be sure to backup your iPad first.

Unfortunately, it may also be that your battery is starting to fail but try the above to see if the problem persists.

My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

The "fix" is to get the phone repaired. There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.

My ht-ct80 sound bar keeps turning itself off every 15min.

4 days ago I bought a htct80 sound bar and it keeps turning itself off every 15min. I serched the internet for a solution to no avail. So I need a answer from sony. Its a great sound bar while its on. Please give me a solution or i will have to take it back for a refund this weekend. If anyone else is having this ptoblem. And i know there are many please reply to this post. The more that reply the more likely we will get a rwsponse from sony.

Hello everyone,
The Sound Bar turning off every 15minutes is related to the Auto Standby function due to the Sound Bar not receiving an input signal. Unfortunately, there are two conditions where the sound bar will recieve a low input signal that results in the Auto Standby triggering incorrectly.
The first case is when the TV’s headphone jack serves as an audio output jack. This is not a recommended method for Audio Input for the Soundbar. If you are using this method, check the TV’s audio output settings. For details, refer to the TV’s operating instructions. If you can not change audio output setting, set up TV volume which is strong enough to prevent it from entering Standby mode.
The second case is when you are using a set-top box (Cable box) that has a volume setting. You can either change the Audio Settings on the set-top box for Fixed Audio Out (if available) or increase the volume on the set top box(Cable box) to maximum setting and then adjust the volume on the Sound Bar itself to obtain the desired actual volume.
Thank you,
---Chris
