Why Does a WIn XP automatic update improperly close my outlook 200

[Guest JTollack]

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.

Once a month take the time to do updates properly. 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.

Please take responsibility for the settings you use. IF you don't like

the results, configure them differently.

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).
