Title: Windows 7 problem
Post by: Maddy on November 24, 2019, 05:00:33 pm
Hello Everybody,

So I use Windows 7 Ultimate and since last week I am facing a problem that when I turn on my pc, I get one message on desktop that "CheckUpdate.exe has stopped working" and when I open any other program say it to be Vlc Media Player,  Firefox etc.,  I get the same message that the program has stopped working. Also the same problem occurs when I try to install or uninstall any program. The task manager automatically gets disabled.

I tried re installing windows,  deleted temp and prefetch files, tried disabling DEP too but the problem is still there as it is.

Please help me in fixing it because I am unable to get the proper fix to it. Hoping for a quick response...

 Try restoring your pc to a backup point. (Many times ,this works like wonder)

Posting a serious question on these forums is surely the best way to see the worst jokes repeating over and over again.


I assume that you are using a licensed Windows 7 Ultimate.
Most likely your problem is not hardware related, so there is a bunch of radical ways to fix it. I would suggest this:

If it doesn't fix the problem, I would blame your hardware, although I doubt that it's possible. In this case, don't rely to the Internet advices and show your PC to a competent person you trust.

Hope it helps.

Most likely your problem is not hardware related, so there is a bunch of radical ways to fix it. I would suggest this:
  • Save your data outside of your hard drive
  • Install a nice live CD (this one (https://www.ultimatebootcd.com/) is a nice option, although I haven't been using it for ages) to your flash drive and boot it
  • Diagnose as many hardware components as possible to make sure everything is fine
  • Optional, but I'd suggest to use a zero fill utility (e.g. 'autonuke') to wipe your hard drive
  • Install Windows and get the latest drivers for your hardware
  • On a clean installation, check if the problem still persists

If it doesn't fix the problem, I would blame your hardware, although I doubt that it's possible. In this case, don't rely to the Internet advices and show your PC to a competent person you trust.

Hope it helps.
I do not have a cd drive in my pc but I can boot with a pendrive. I will try it. Thank you Altus :)

Your system automatically makes a backup point..once in while automatically and also prior to any major update or software installation .
 
Just open START > all programs > accessories > system tools> system restore .

Then system restore wizard would be opened ..and down below yiu can see all backup points .

what do you mean by task manager is disabled? are you able to click on the "open task manager" in the statusbar or when you click on it, it doesn't open up? what do you mean by i cant install or uninstall? do you mean that it gives you an error when trying that or when you open up any .exe file, nothing happens?
If so, download process Hacker portable version, run it and see which program is responsible of lunching this "checkupdate.exe" file. also try to monitor TCP connections that are linked to this process by using TCP monitor.or try using GlassWire.Also, if you want a good "pirated" windows, check TeamOS-hkrg forum, they even have windows 10 pro "lite versions" that are cleaned of all Microsoft bloatware like cortana, store,People and other useless apps.

Format your pc and get the latest window, that's the best solution in my opinion.

Windows 10 is a pure garbage eventhough im using it. Forcing you to have programs that you wont  even use once. I moved from Windows 7 to 10 and I noticed a big performance impact because of all that bloatware. I mean seriously, I dont wanna play Candy crush on my laptop, why have it on a fresh windows install? I dont wanna use Cortana because its slows my local search and if I wanted to do online search I'd use my browser. I dont want to use Skype and People and Tips and Office365.Who'd use Messaging on Windows? Whats the purpose of that Microsoft 3D Viewer lol? The only thing that I liked in Windows 10 is the feature that they added in the latest update, where you get to have a Virtual windows machine just like using a VirtualBox, and you can use it to test the behaviour of programs that you think they might have some kind of virus or malware. I want a fresh Install just as fresh as Windows 7 Ultimate, where you only get whats necessary to proper Windows functionnality. and guess what, custom installs are already out there.

 Take a look at this (https://www.teamos-hkrg.com/index.php?threads/windows-pure-10-pro-x64-teamos.84143/)custom Windows Pro from TeamOS-hkrg. the poster removed all that non sense I talked about.

They add custom themes, and they showcase RAM usage by the stock Windows and the custom one, and I tell you its huge.

Guys, I ran a full system scan in my pv and found that my pc was infected with some malware called runounce.exe which was controlling system32 and administrative powers. I have repaired it but some softwares setups are deleted from my pc because they wrre deeply infected and could not be repaired.  Still if I try to install any program it gets deleted. It was really so irritating.

Anyway,  thanks to all.  :D
