after updating, my windows vista laptop became so slow?

Question

after updating the other day, my vista laptop became so slow.

i noticed that the windows update installed these programs:
Microsoft Office Live Add-in 1.3
Microsoft Office Outlook connector
Microsoft Silverlight
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 compact Edition
Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime Native v1.0 (x86)
" " " " " " Services Native v 1.0 (x86)
Windows Live Essentials
Windows Live Sign-in Assistant
Windows Live Sync
Windows Live Upload tool.


The worst thing is, I kinda think i'll NEVER use these functions like windows live upload, or care if they have the slightest better graphics with silverlight. Windows live messenger just forced me to update by not allowing me to sign in without updating.

what should i do?

Answer 1

Same thing here simply do a restore, or unistall all of them.

Answer 2

I would do a system restore to before the updates, then turn off automatic updates. If that fixes things, then update your Live stuff so you can use WLM. With Internet Explorer open, go to Tools>Windows Update and let it run through, picking Custom instead of Express install. Pic the couple of updates you want to install. If that slows it down again, do another system restore, and then only update what you need minimally to get messenger working, which I would guess is the Live Sign-in Assistant. A couple of months from now, do another update and install everything express and see if you are okay. MS may fix whatever is bogging you down in the mean time. If not, undo it and try again in six months. You can also selectively uninstall updates individually from the Programs and Features control panel, but that may take longer to hunt down the culprit. Better to do a system restore so you can get the performance back, then selectively install updates.

Answer 3

Key words: windows and vista, the source of most computer problems. Basically you can reinstall Windows Vista or just get Windows 7.

Answer 5

Have you restarted since this happened? That could be why. If it is these updates causing the problem, check in the Task Manager under processes and see if anything is using a lot of CPU. Then, end that process, uninstall it, or whatever you see fit.
