Problems with back ground programs and updates in 7

Note: If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem.

This is the Window 7 forum, remember? this is an Os and software issue or so it appears.

Fine, you don't want to help, you can live with the problem. Makes no difference to me. Mine isn't the system with the problems. Mine runs exceedingly well, unlike yours. So, good luck with your problem. Let us know how it turns out, or if you change your mind about helping us to help you.

How about I just wait till someone 'helpful" responds to this post. Buzz off!

"all" the other updates and scans. I do have a notice enabled for the anti-virus scan. In the end this will end up as an Os problem but we'll see what you have to recommend.

Well it's good to see you 'helpers" are as friendly as ever. Has it been a rough day? I assure you not as rough as on SL Answers.

while I'm on line using the Firefox browser:

Also appears as dwm.exe without the Microsoft discription, I might add (Virus?), in task manager. My scans have been clean.

This appears to be primarily an Aeros application. The only thing I'm running while on line is transparent glass. On the desktop dwm.exe does not run in task manager.

Windows updates, HP updates, all updates ....... Java, Adobe, etc., etc., are trying to do something to check there status and when they do the OS has problems: hangs, speeding up then slowing down, other anomalies but most notably when IE8 is running. Also back ground scans are slowing the OS to a crawl. This was something of a problem in Vista but is a major issue in Windows 7. I thought it was IE8, nope something in the OS perhaps the firewall. All combined the problem appears to be system wide instability.

Also see:

http://forums.cnet.com/5208-4_102-0.html?threadID=383178

Why the DMW.exe in IE8 and not on the desktop or in Windows utilities and apps..? I do use transparent glass but most of Aeros is shut down on this PC. If the problem was in Windows explore with the feature enabled this might be understandable but few appearance/Aeros settings run in EI8.

All those optimization plus many more have been done to this PC.

Just recently I figured something out. When a new OS is released it usually gets overwhelmed with new updates and repairs for some of those new updates. Most of these problems occured in November right at the release of Window 7. So, some of those problem might have been "update overload" for lack of a better word. Up date overload effect all Windows OSs usually about February/March of each year and then just before school starts in the Fall and after SPs are released. Hmmm, an update migration of sorts. )


It's working fine now or seems too, knock on wood.
