HELP! - annoying alert sound every 10 minutes!


Recommended Posts

About every 10 minutes or so my computer makes an alert sound. No information windows pop up, nor any kind of message, and it happens even when no programs are running. It usually happens every 10 minutes, but sometimes is completely unpredictable. The only thing I've found that coincides with the times of the alerts is the following entry in the event viewer:

.NET Runtime Optimization Service (clr_optimization_v2.0.50727_32) - Service work was interrupted due to the following reason(s): USER_INTERRUPT (Mask: 0x04)

Anyone know what's going on and how I can stop it?

Welcome to the Windows Forum!

I *think* it is another application that causes this to occur. Can you see anything else (another application) listing something in the Event Log when this happens?

The reason why I believe this is this thread and other similar Google search results.

Thanx for writing!

As I said, it happens even when no other programs are running. But I'm sure there are a lot of background programs running all the time. However the only thing I can find in the event viewer is what I already posted. I don't know why it doesn't say anything more specific.

Maybe I should just remove all the .Net environments I downloaded. They aren't really necessary right?

If you have applications installed that require .NET Framework, then you will need to keep it/them. Applications that need them usually indicate very clearly that they need .NET Framework, and what version.

If you don't know of any applications on your computer needing the .NET Framework, then it is almost safe to assume that you don't need it/them. Uninstall all of them, starting with the highest version.
