After February 10, Windows Update computer problems

My Acer Aspire X 1200 has been paralyzed after an update on 10 February.

After the update has been installed, my computer has freezes which lasted from 10 seconds to 2 minutes and sometimes I got that last 5 seconds that's happened every minute frozen. The sound is also taken in the loop. I had to make stops hard just to get my computer to cut. When my computer is started after the closure, it's super slow to start my applications (MSN, Xfire, PandoraOne and box). After that, the computer will not start Firefox or Internet Explorer. If a program starts, it is almost impossible to run due to the freeze. I already have 2 system restore to before the update, and my computer works very well. I also used AVG and cyber to scan my computer for viruses, they both came up empty, but Cyber has demonstrated a lot of registry errors. The only way I can even run my computer is through safe mode. Help, please!

It's terrible to hear, Daruma: I'm sorry to see that you are in such a pass. I am not particularly satisfied with the aggressive way, Microsoft pushed the security updates lately. I understand the need for them, but in Windows 7, I'm more than a little annoyed how this February as a whole has been treated. What can be so potentially crippling must be more carefully tested, and we certainly shouldn't we have our machines impose us a reboot. I had more than one backup at night or rip or other lengthy process completely the bomb at the last minute because my machine decided it was time to restart the machine and am tired of wait on me to answer the pop-ups of nag.

I have some information that can help you, but it is not enough. At this point, you want to find the smartest geek you know and bribe him with pizza and Red Bull to repair your machines. Show them this thread too...

(1) you are right, that if you run a 64-bit OS and try to use a 32-bit installation disk to perform a recovery, you will encounter problems. Under XP, it's even worse: the disks that are different flavors of Windows XP (such as "Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1" and "Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2") are also out of sync relative to each other, making the recovery of the wrong version sometimes impossible. HOWEVER...

(2) with Vista and 7, Microsoft has homogenized their drives: a drive for 7 Pro can also be used to recover/repair an installation of 7 Home or Ultimate. I don't know if it's perfect, however: you may still be unable to use a 32 bit disc to get a 64-bit machine and vice versa (which I think is what you're saying). THEN

(3) you may have a hidden partition on your hard drive that contains your OS and original software. It would be visible at startup time and therefore could be extracted and transformed into a bootable OS or momentum from a pre-loaded recovery utility. Gateway and Toshiba have done this before. AND

(4) you may also be able to * buy * these discs Gateway system or Toshiba. I had to do exactly this for gateway my aunt last year, paying about $30 for a system recovery disk. My Toshiba comes with a utility that is supposed to create your discs for you by burning them to blank media, but it was absolute garbage, ripping coasters of almost a dozen and never get the last disk made. I got a real BS answer on why the burning utility did not work... but I was told that I could buy the discs if I wanted to. BUT

(5) in the worst-case scenario, all is still not lost. If for any reason, the hard drive is watered, your hired geek can put another HDD, install an OS on it, and then focus on your current hard drive and pull all the files out of what you want to use. Or they can simply pull on your hard drive, put it in a working machine, back up everything that was on it, then put the HD in your machine and do a full format/reinstall. From there on, you manually load all your files back on the new facility. It's a pain, but it will almost get you back to where you were.

Even if you have formatted your hard drive, some files can be recovered. I used a utility called "Restorer2K" a couple of times and it was excellent traction deleted files do market back a formatted hard drive. Just try to do it before the installation of a new facility on top of the empty car. ALSO

(6) there is a little more work, but not hard work... your geek-for-hire can also take a drive in Windows, download the software and drivers for your machine and 'mind meld' together to do a custom installation disc. It is a GREAT free tool called "nLite" (for XP) or "vLite" (for Vista and I think that 7) who will do it.

In the future, I know that this may seem like a pain, but you might want to grab a free backup utility called Macrium Reflect. It can be programmed to perform backups of your machine on a regular basis and even store them somewhere else. For example, you could tell the gateway to the top Thursday night in a big fat USB, plug the USB key Thursday night and leave the front door during the night. Then say the Toshiba to save on Friday night on the USB, Plug and let the Toshiba on it during the night... you get the idea. This way if this happens again, at least you have a way to back up things and never lose more of, say, evidence of a week of things.

Update for Windows Vista (KB2345886)

I found KB981957 to be the culprit on that I worked on a system of XP SP3. With this update installed, I get an error C000021A Service Control Manager BSOD. I have manually uninstalled this update by using the Recovery Console and then used Windows Update through IE and deselected this update. All the other updates installed correctly and the system starts properly. I would like to know why this update is causing this problem. Anyone with the same problem?

It reminds me of a similar situation earlier this year with BSOD KB991765. The cause of the BSOD is a virus that has infected system driver files. Once clean, the installation worked very well. I've done many scans on this system and have not yet found any viruses.

After that windows update computer now hangs at the login screen, no error message, just restarts.

I have tried safe mode, does the same thing; tried to use the Windows Vista disc to do a repair, no luck; also I tried restoring the system (from disk), no restore points however.
The problem appeared after restarting the computer during the night. The problem began to be able to connect, but the screen would go blank with just a pointer (KSOD). Has tried some of the suggestions on this problem, including by eliminating sys newspapers, which did not work as well as reinstalling the video driver, with no luck. Finally tried a system restore, returned 1 week (before the windows updates). Now, the computer becomes just the login screen sits there for about 5-10 seconds then restarts immediately.

I just had this happen to my laptop that has no external references. This is a new (September 09) ASUS K50ij with Vista 64-bit installed. I bought the Win 7 OS to replace, but have been waiting for the time to play with it... Last Monday, the update itself and invited to restart so I have done what I was busy with and enabled him to restart which is the only thing to do now... restart, the blue screen for a nano-second, then restart... etc. Same problem with safe mode and safe mode with networking, or with the box... anyway, someone very smart recommended that I use another computer (Fortunately, I have several) to download free Imgburn (which works easily), then get Ubuntu (Linux Operating System free download) burn image from the Ubuntu disc, put the disc in the drive of the computer crashed (there is a little hole next to the button you) can insert in a safety pin to release the door when the power is off) change the setting in the BIOS of the computer has crashed by restarting and pressing F2 until you get the menu BIOS... go to the start menu and choose Start from the CD, and then press ENTER. When the computer starts, it will see the drive and go to a menu to select the language, then next choice is "try Ubuntu without making any changes to the computer. It will boot the disk and allow you to view and copy ALL your files off the power on an external drive, which is what I did... including my Outlook .pst files that include all my saved emails my calendar and contacts, etc! WOOHOO! has got all my photos, documents, etc. The only thing that I didn't know how to get is my favorite... How to enter in the browser from another computer.

If after this, an hour or more than make sure I got all the important data... I decided to see if anyone had a solution to this problem just fixing... I probably won't update again because Microsoft sends them and offers no solutions to the problems they have caused and nobody pays me for all the time I've lost get to get my stuff back and also to solve the problem they have caused. A update on my other laptop Win 7 zapped my outlook program and even reinstall it didn't solve this problem, even more work to do there, but looking in the files using Ubuntu's File Explorer, I found a hidden file that is used to repair the files .pst outlook called scanpst, or something that nearby.

In any case, if someone has a solution to uninstall the recent update or to determine how it corrupted my user profile (which is the general consensus) please let me know.
Thank you and good luck to you!

Restart after that a windows update problem with VirusScan from McAfee (total Protection)

I'm under 64-bit Windows VISTA Home Premium SP 1 on a Dell Studio 540 desktop. 8.0 GB RAM. Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 CPU @ 2 .66GHz.
Late last night, I started the PC to go online. Shortly after, I was invited by Windows update to restart. So I closed off everything and rebooted, except that I kept scheduled analysis of McAfee, which I set up for Fridays. I have McAfee Total Protection, which includes VirusScan. That the PC would shut down, there was a message on the screen of McAfee who said, essentially, stop this scan before restarting. I'm paraphrasing - I didn't write down the exact message. After reboot, I started again the background anti-virus scanning. After a few minutes, I received the following message:
Microsoft Windows
Order McAfee VirusScan Scan - Are asked to work and was closed. A problem with the application to stop functioning properly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available.
I have not received a solution of Windows. I completely uninstalled McAfee Total Protection, following the instructions of McAfee, then reinstalled. Everything went very well with these processes. I have yet to receive an indication of the McAfee software that something is wrong. After the reinstallation, I tried a scan, but got the same error message as above after a few minutes. It does not occur immediately, analysis continues for about 5 minutes, then abandoned.
Chatted with Dell today. They suggested a system restore, I will try then.

What updates have been installed?

During certain infections that are designed to defeat security software will cause the bomb on analyses with an error.

I also suggest you contact the McAfee Support since it is their product which blocks. http://service.McAfee.com/TechSupportHome.aspx?LC=1033&SG=TS

To view installed updates:

1. click on start > Control Panel > Classic view > Windows Update.

2. along the top, click view update history.

3. click on installed updates

4. you can sort by name, status, Type, or Date updates. You can also click on each update and select Show details to access the details of this update.

Caused Windows updates computer crash

Anyone else have problems with latest updates (from June 30 to July 10)? Since June 30, my computer has stopped unexpectedly 5 times. I ran virus scan, ad-aware, etc. The only thing that worked was a system restore before June 30. Unfortunately, Windows automatically updated again and I had the same problems. I had to remove the updates manually. Any ideas why this happened?

Windows Update installation problem

When I turned off my laptop Windows Vista Home Premium, the system entered into mode "install updates". It has been the installation of update 3 of 8 for more than an hour. The display does not turn off and unplug the machine. The disk led is on continuously.

Do I have a problem? Should what steps I take? Thank you.

Hi jayalan,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

The updates take time depending on the size of the file. If the update has hung so I suggest you hard reboot the computer and see if you can boot to the desktop. If you can boot to the desktop and then the updates are not installed will appear and which will be installed during the next update.

Once done with the step above after starting the computer on the desk. I suggest that reset you Windows Update components and perhaps that should take care of the updates. install the updates by selecting two both than some updates system needs to reboot for the changes to take effect.

Access the link below to reset the Windows Update components automatically.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

If the computer does not start on the desktop, then I suggest you to start safe mode and see if you can boot to the desktop. Once you are in the office, do a system restore which will take the computer to a time where it was working fine.

Go to the link below for the procedure to start in Safe Mode and system restore.

After the recent windows update August 16, 2012, my connection to Internet is not working...

Hello

I use a laptop HP Pavilion with Windows Vista. August 17, 2012, my connection Internet has stopped working. He was showing 'Local' only against the State of the connection, even if my cable internet and routers wireless work correctly. I have connected to the internet from another computer using Windows XP.

After having tried many options to solve the problem of the internet for fews and realizing none of them solved my problem: (, I decided to restore the computer to the factory settings on August 19, 2012.) But to my surprise, system recommended to restore to an earlier date (before these recent automatic updates are made on August 16, 2012). I thought to try and to my surprise, my connection Internet started working :). Which made me think that something that happens in the recent update that is causing my internet connection does not work.

At the beginning I was in doubt, but now I'm fully convinced as next morning of day again my internet connection stopped working again. I checked Windows update history and realized again automatically updates performed on August 20, 2012. I restored my computer to the previous version before updates again and the Internet started working.

Here's what I see in the history of the update for that day.

Update of security suites for Microsoft Office 2007 (KB2596856)

Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista Systems (KB2722913) based on x 64

Update security for Windows Vista for x 64-based systems (KB2705219)

Windows x 64-August malicious software removal tool (KB890830) 2012

Can anyone help answer more?

-What day could cause this problem?

-How can I just remove this one update which may cause a problem (I'd like to get the other automatic updates in the future, so don't want to disable the auto update)?

The guys at Microsoft told me, problem is introduced by McAfee. Here is the link for the solution to the problem.

http://service.McAfee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?ID=TS101446

I didn't try it myself, as my internet problem is automatically solved in a few days. I think that my version of McAfee must have automatically been updated, which may have solved the problem.

4. What is the version of Windows installed on the computer?

You cannot uninstall any program from safe mode.

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
