• Cannot turn off my computer because it shows 'Stop Down Windows Update Service.'

  Original title: Closing Windows problem - Sony VAIO *.

  Dear Microsoft,

  I have Windows 7 Ultimate on a Sony VAIO VPCEB1S0E.  I had a problem of closure.

  When I press Shut Down, he repeats to me 'Shutting Down'.  He never stops.  I had worked on a project until 23:00.  I closed everything and click Shut Down.  The next day I awoke to find my cell phone always gives me the Shutting Downmessage.

  I searched on google and then edited a file in the registry.  I think I found a problem.  Now when I turn it on, it says Preparation Office rather than Welcome.  And when it stops, he repeats to me Shutting Down Service Windows Update.  A minute later, it says Configuration Windows. Do not connect the power supply or Shut Down.  These are not the exact words.

  Each time, I've been force judgment of my laptop.  One day, I came across a message in the lower right of my screen saying that this copy of Windows is not genuine...  Finally, I managed to resolve the issue with 'Chkdsk '.

  I do not take any more risks. so now, I'm watching my laptop each time rather than Shut it Down.

  I did a clean boot, about 4 days ago.  Then, I opened "msconfig" and all compatible services.  And click on restart.  That really worked.  Without stopping Force, which actually stop and restart.  Well, maybe it was a coincidence that it won't happen again.

  I opened Windows Update and tried to install the latest updates.  Which failed.  He couldn't find new updates.  Could this be my antivirus blocking access?  I have Avast Internet Security.

  It would be GREAT if the problem can be solved

  Thank you!

• At startup, updates to Vista is stuck on "Full download 100% - do not turn off your computer". Cannot stop at least stop with button / stop.

  At startup, Vista update will start and get blocked msg on "Full download 100% - do not turn off your computer".  Last night on the left that it runs and it took 12.5 hours before finally coming out of the error status and asking for the password.  Could not stop downloading progress with Task Manager/ctrl-alt-del, etc., unless you use the power button / stop.   This severely limits the duration of use and if/when we are able to use it in an hour or two, it black screens and reboots restart fiasco together again.

• Windows 8.1 message 'you could not complete updates, by undoing the changes, do not turn off your computer.

  Greetings,

  I installed updates in my Windows 8.1 partition.  Then he asked me to restart the computer, and the message "we could not finish updates, exchange loss, do not turn off your computer" appeared and was on-screen for hours.  I thought to reinstall bootcamp but I have software in the Windows partition that cannot be recovered.  I read that one of them starts Windows in 'Safe' Mode, but this is not possible. I use a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015) OS X 10.10.5

  How can I fix this without wiping the Windows partition and lose my software?

  Thank you!

  Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista at the link above.

   

  Remove the Vista updates; two ways to do this:

  1. a System Restore to before the updates:

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > System Restore > restore time/choose your own date > next

  If you use Norton, disable it before using the system restore.

  If it is impossible to enter the Normal Mode, do a Safe Mode system restore:

  Press F8 at the startup/power and the list of startup options, use THE ARROW key to select Safe mode > and then press ENTER.

  System restore steps according to the info above.

  Also:

  2. click on start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

  > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

  > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

  When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

  > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

  If you have problems to restart, read on:

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

• Stuck on the screen "Please wait" or "Configuring windows. Do not turn off your computer.

  I'm under 64-bit Windows 8

  Apparently, I scanned my system with a complete analysis of the system (AVAST) and my computer left thinking that it would take several hours. When I came back, my computer automatically shut down because it was left idle for about 4 hours. I don't know if the scan is finished. When I try to start, the screen becomes screen stuck on "Please wait" or "windows setup. Do not turn off your computer.

  I already tried to go on the System Recovery Options screen, then will solve the problems, then Advanced Options, but I tried everything what it and the problem persists even when I tried to start in safe mode. I tried to go to the command prompt, and then type sfc / scannow, but he says he cannot parse now. I also tried chkdsk / R, but it said the same thing. I don't know how to run cmd as administrator from the System Recovery Options.

  So now I tried to use system restore, but I'm stuck on the logo of windows for about 1 and a half hour. I don't know if I have to wait for it or it is already blocked. In other forums I've read, they were using only the Group of drive 'C:' connected with system restore. Should I do this?

  I think to delete AVAST or turn it off somehow.

  Please help me.

  Problem solved

  I would like to share how I solved the problem. I was able to start using the windows 8 cd and in the window that asks you the language of the windows 8 needs to be installed, you can see below "computer repair".

  After clicking on it, it automatically prompts me for advanced boot parameters. First I tried the auto repair, but it says the same thing, '.. '. can't fix right now... »
  So I tried the option "pc refresh. I waited a few minutes to cool to do and after the process, it is more hung please wait screen when starting.

  Once connected, I installed programs have been removed. In the local disk files, there is a new "windows.old folder ' showing all programs that I have the old system. Re-install program is easy and the best thing is that I have my computer back.

  My deep gratitude to those who helped me. Thank you!

My computer does not restart, saying that preferences system interrupted stop down. But I can't quit System preferences. My questions are twofold:

  (2) how do I remove this computer iCloud? Or at least prevent it from connect to iCloud? It never worked and it just bugs the heck out of me.

  To force the closing down, hold the power button until the screen goes black. You may well find that the connection attempt is not reappear on a restart; You should if you want to be able to go to system preferences > iCloud and click on disconnect.

• My selected themes disappear when I turned off the computer, I have to add them when I turn the computer back on. I made sure that it is set to allow the modules.

  Just in the last week or so, this has happened. I had several themes to select from, all of them are listed is no longer in the list with the exception of the default theme of list drop-down appearance. Yesterday I made I'm fixed to allow add-ons. It was the same story this morning, the appearance was back to default and my themes had disappeared. If I stay connected to the internet my themes remain the same. I have no problem with the preview of themes they will not just stay put when I turn off my computer. This is the only problem I have encountered since I've been using Firefox.

  You will need to check the line user_pref ("lightweightThemes.usedThemes", < pref data >) to see is something changed in the data stores installed light themes and compare this line in the current prefs.js file with the corresponding line in the backup of the prefs.js.

• Default configuration of the Windows updates. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer

  Hi, I just refreshed my laptop that I got a few drops FPS at random. Initially, it worked fine, but after a while before instaled Norton started to cause me problems. At this time I uninstalled it and when he asked me to computer restatr now, I did. Now I'm stuck with this message window loading. Restart the computer from time to time, but the message is always the same: failure of configuration of Windows updates. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer.
  Computer: hp pavilion n006sm
  Operating system: win 8 pre-installed
  At the moment I'm stuck on this window for over an hour and nothing has changed

  Seems that problem solved by itself. As I correctly uninstalled Norton, I just put my automatic updates and restarted my laptop again. He installed the updates with no problem and its working fine. Seems that Norton was really the problem, will keep you informed.
