Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / June 2008Why Does a WIn XP automatic update improperly close my outlook 200
I leave my Work PC on all the time, but "locked" when away for the night. I have Windows Update set to Automatically download and install new updates. I find it unreasoneable for Windows Update to "improperly close" my Microsoft Office applications! Windows should be able to make a hook to properly call an exit and then check for it's proper termination at least for Microsoft's own applications! I have checked the behaviour of office applications on exit, to ensure there is no error or warning prompt happening, that may be "hanging" the proper exit of any of the applications. I have a large PST file (well below operational limits) that has to do a scan for corruption every time Windows reboots itself from an automatic update reboot. I know I can simply set the Automatic Update to just download and not install the updates, but this seems ridiculous.

This means DISABLING your antivirus' resident scanner. You should also do a clean up, ChkDsk and defrag before installing updates. Set Auto Update to notify but not download or install. When it notifies you, review the updates with the custom install and then download and install them. Reboot if asked. FORGET ABOUT it doing it automatically unless, of course, you like having problems with your computer. P Please take responsibility for the settings you use. IF you don't like the results, configure them differently. > I leave my Work PC on all the time, but "locked" when away for the night. > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > IT/PACS Guy Patient (demonstrating): "Doctor, it hurts when I do this!" Doctor: "Don't do that." Don't do that (i.e, configure Automatic Updates to install updates automatically and/or unattended at 3:00 AM).
