Windows auto updated, now things are S-L-O-W
Yesterday Windows 7 automatically updated while my computer was on overnight. I wasn’t signed on at the time ( gee thanks Microsoft.)
PT12 now loads at glacial speed, but not every time. Project load functions are very slow, as are almost all functions. But not every time. This has happened about every six months or so, and in the past I have gone to Control Panel>Programs and removed the most recent Microsoft updates and operating speed returns to normal. Not so this time. Has anyone else expetienced this, and what can be done? And as long as we’re talking about this, how can I prevent these unsolicited updates? I have experienced my computer being tied up as long as an hour and a galf while “the system is geing configured.” It seems Microsoft should at least ask before taking over our computers- I don’t always have an hour and a half I can give up with no notice. |

Why not turn off auto update in Windows Control Panel?
Also why not just unplug from the net when you don't need it? That way you don't get blindsided like you did. |

Re: Windows auto updated, now things are S-L-O-W
I restored to 8/26 last night because the last update caused Pro Tools to crash while loading and made some of my isotope stuff "disappear". I am running 3 Win 7 machines so I have the auto updates turned off and only do them one at a time to test-this one failed so the other two wont be getting this particular update.Oh, I tried restoring t 8/29 first which did not work so I went back to the next save , which worked.

Didn’t know I could disable auto updates until today. But how do I get it back to running at “normal” speed?

What's your previous restore point? Windows creates them at irregular intervals.

Re: Windows auto updated, now things are S-L-O-W
I have backup hard drives if necessary but I always try the Windoze backup first cuz it's usually the quickest. Plus I know when it last was working properly most of the time so I can usually just do one restore. Although I had to do two this time.
