  I am looking for a solution to why updates don't correctly install on tap down and to reboot?

  Hi StuartEvans,

  ·         Did you the latest changes on the computer before this problem?

  ·         You receive an error message/code?

  I suggest you follow these methods before proceeding with the update of windows.

  Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After installing windows update, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  Method 3: Follow the steps in the article.

  You can also manually install the update (numbers KB) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

• Windows Update freezes

  Hey guys,.
  So I recently had a problem with XP Pro SP3 computer that works perfectly well in the normal tasks such as word processing, navigation, media, etc. I went to troubleshoot a Windows Update that I recently tried to install failed and Internet Explorer stops responding and freezes. So, here's exactly step by step what I do which creates this problem:

  (1) open upgrade from Windows (Internet Explorer then opens upwards)
  (2) Windows update site launches, but then a pop up asking to install something Microsoft is
  (3) I click on install
  (4) Internet Explorer freezes

  Every time I open just Windows Update and let is sit here, it freezes within 30 seconds. Whenever I click on do not install, it freezes. The only way to get it is to stop the process. Norton Internet Security is installed, but I created a rule to allow the updates of Windows Installer and I recently installed updates (11/15/09) last Sunday and they have installed successfully, except one which was what I tried to solve the problems.

  I already tried to re-registration of the Windows Update files, but also re-download of Windows Update and it still freezes. I am also able to navigate Internet Explorer perfectly on other sites with the exception of the Windows Update site. I ran scans and no viruses or malware were detected. The system is very healthy. Something to note is that the computer is on a domain. Please, if anyone out there has any ideas on what could be causing these constant freezes, let me know. Thank you.

  After a reset of Internet Explorer, the Windows Update site would still freeze. So what I had to do was to go to manage add-ons in Internet Explorer or disabled toolbar Norton Confidential installed Norton Internet Security was installed on the computer. After you disable the toolbar, Windows Update site showed correctly with all of the updates I needed and properly installed. It's amazing how Norton Internet Security control is same with simple and legitimate services that are necessary for your system. This is the exact reason that I do not run full software suite like NIS. Thank you for your help. Problem solved.

• Windows 7 Windows update does not work after replacing hard drive

  Win7 Home Premium and HP Pavilion DV6-2150US.  Failed hard drive.  I bought a Seagate 500 GB replacement (original drive was 250 GB) and used my purchased HP re - install DVD to re - build Windows and reinstall the OEM software on the new hard drive.

  Everything starts fine, but he won't deal of Windows updates (. e. is a big red X on the screen of windows update).  I tried Microsoft "Mr Fix it" download - but it error and none of the other suggestions Microsoft not work either.  When I had the chance to talk with a MS tech support person, she suggested that somehow windows on the new drive is not authentic, etc...  Although windows on the new drive hard indicates that its active and authentic... is there some kind of checking a number of the hard disk 'really' activate windows?

  Just to make sure that my reinstall was not corrupt, I deleted the new hard drive and began in everywhere... I have the exact same result... it boots fine, but will not update through windows update.  The only other change to the laptop was that I had better buy double the memory to 8 of 4 when I bought 2 years ago... once again, do not know if there is a kind of material exchange limitation before disabling the windows software.

  Help, please!  I'm really stuck.  THX JimmyC

  Thanks for your post... I solved my problem by installing the update driver Intel rapid storage through this link:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02219204

  I suppose that as long as the hard drive is lower 250Gig you need not the new driver.  But when I replaced my hard drive failed with a disc 500gig hard - when I did restore HP to Win7 and the OEM software from the dvd, I bought - it put the storage driver original in Win7 - which works very well with a 250 GB drive, but causes the windows update doesn't work is not for readers more than 250gig.   When I installed the driver from the link above file, Windows Update started working - and you can imagine there are many, many fixes since my PC has been restored to original Win7 - doesn't not even Win 7 SP1.

  I hope it helps someone else... thank you for your message.  JimmyC

• After Windows Update: Start, taskbar, toolbar, tools, etc., have disappeared. Disabled Task Manager, programs don't run, etc, etc.

  My multi-monitor desktop Win XP through a long Windows update yesterday. Starting this morning, button bar and try to start at the bottom of the screen are no longer present. My table of multi-monitor configuration has changed radically in view/settings. All the tabs on the Task Manager are missing - with the exception of the processes tab. All keyboard and mouse commands have been disabled. To restart, I had to unplug the computer from power. Restart twice again obtained the same results. As there was no apparent way to start programs and features in Windows (Control Panel, Windows Explorer, Manager tasks, etc.) I resorted to a Safe Mode system restore after snatching the lead for the third time.

  It seems that a system restore is the only cure for this, and I started this operation. Updates of various sellers require me to use to restore the system several times each month.  I learned to fear the automatic updates for fear that they will cost hours and days of recovery since the "cure" for other ailments that are not obvious to me. The last update all deleted antivirus controls volume and their icons. I have still not got their back. But I digress...
  My questions:
  What I've done wrong?
  Should I disable updates?
  How can I make sure that the updates stop disabling my computer?
  What are your recommendations to repair the damage?
  Thank you.

  Hi Craig,.

  Follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

  Step 1:

  I would say you turn off the automatic updates (not recommended however) and install the updates manually ensuring that you will refrain from any installation problem causing updates unless it says "important updates.

  a. log in Windows XP to your administrator account. Click 'Start', then right-click "My computer" and select "Properties".
  b. Select the "Automatic updates" tab and then click on "Turn off automatic updates."
  c. click 'OK' to turn off the automatic updates.

  Step 2:

  You can also test the issue in a State of clean boot in safe mode (after installing updates).

  Note: Don't forget to restart your computer as usual.
