  • "We could not all updates. Undo changes. Do not turn off your computer. "Stuck on this screen. UGH.

    I am extremely frustrated.

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop. It works fine, until today. My computer tried to update and in the process, failed. I wait now more than 4 hours on the same screen. Pressing F8 does nothing. I tried to restart. I can not open troubleshooting because the computer is stuck on the same screen. The circle to show that it is loading is always in motion and my mouse moves as well. I called MIcrosoft support and they told me to reboot and wait. It is, I already did, but they told me to do it again. I have some files I have would be broken lose. Help, please.

    Hello

    If you don't mind not to lose your files, turn the system off.

    Turn off the computer.  The next step, you will hear a shrill signal strong.  Be prepared.

    Press 0 (zero) key and power up the computer

    Key 0 (zero) when the recovery warning screen

    Press the F12 key during the appearance of the Toshiba logo

    You should then see the Start Menu

    Using the up/down arrow keys, select > HDD Recovery > press Enter

    If offered a selection of Windows 32 or 64-bit, be sure that you select the correct operating system

    You should be able to create a recovery media.  Once you have installed Windows, click Search > Type recovery

    You should see an option to create your own recovery discs

    If this isn't the case, I suggest that order you them from Toshiba.

  • "Configuration of the Windows updates failed. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer"- by a loop for hours, unable to get to the start

    Hello.

    First of all, I read this page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358

    It says this - "Note if this problem occurs, it may take 30 minutes to undo changes, and then the system will display the login screen Windows.»

    But this is not true for me, I have nowhere near the logon screen. Earlier the PC rebooted, but is IMMEDIATELY returned to the exact same failure screen. There is a line.

    A few notes:

    (1) it is a G46VW mobile computer ASUS 'Republic of gamers ". I had 3 days. There is no DVD drive so I can't use any kind of boot disk.

    (2) I have no attached removable media.

    (3) I don't know how to get to any screen except that this form of failure, so do not know how to enter in a single command.

    (4) all that happens is that I see the ASUS logo, then this screen failure immediately.

    I'm panicking, it's all new. It has worked very well. I started it today, it has been updated slowly. I saw him at about 17%. Then I looked at a few hours later and saw that he was stuck in this process.

    What can I do?

  • Takes 5 minutes - start Message: Configuring Windows Update 0% complete do not turn off your computer. Windows 7 Professional 64-bit system, works fine, but I get this stupid message whenever I start.

    How can I get rid of this stupid message and have a normal boot.  This took place yesterday, and it's a real pain.  How can I get rid of this.

    I had this problem 2 days in a row. Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. "Automatic updates" not ended and I got the same message on restart and had to wait for it to timeout.

    I tried "manually" update, and that fixed the problem.

    Go to the control panel. Click on system and security. Click on Windows Update and follow the instructions. I selected the updates recommended, installed and rebooted. Problem solved.

    (I have no idea why this problem occurred. In the "Windows Update", I opened the "update history" and saw the 'Impossible' updates, but I don't dig deeper than that.)
