Hi Steinweg88,

Please post on the answers.microsoft.com forum.

  • "Configuration of the Windows updates failed. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer"error when you try to install Windows updates

    Original title: problems with updates

    I tried to install windows updates since the store won't let me update to 8.1 otherwise, but I've been miserably lacking 4 days in a row now. Commissioning Windows Update in Control Panel or the charm of parameters found 133 available updates and informs me that they will install automatically. If I then try to install progress remains at "downloading 0 KB", after a while updates are shown as installation. When the installation is completed I'm prompted to restart my pc. After the reboot if I'm greeted by the "Failure configuring Windows updates" screen for about an hour, then I'm able to reconnect to the desktop computer. I've been searching the forums for similar problems looking for an answer and trying different solutions, such as:

    Stop the update service then renaming or deleting the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution. No positive results on this one.

    Using SFC and DISM, first came up with my system is clean, the second did find and fix corrupt elements of store, but the problem persists.

    Download the tool for troubleshooting Windows Update from Microsoft page, who reported finding and repairing problens with service, but again without success.

    Reduce the installed updates at a time, in the instance that Windows can't handle most of the many updates at the same time. I tried this and it seemed to go well, but a strange point of interest that is so annoying is that several edits I checked are installing somehow, even if it is the only example that shows the number of updates being installed before restarting. Yet I always comes to the same conclusion. Failure of Windows updates the screen. What should I do?

    Hello

    Please update us with the State of the question. We apologize for the delay in responding

    1. You have a disk to install for Windows 8?
    2. Can you please explain what did you mean by update failed?

    2. Press on and hold or click the drive that you want to repairand then tap or click Properties.
    3. Tap or click the Tools tab, and then, under error-checking, tap or click check.   You may be prompted for an administrator password or to confirm your choice.
    4. Follow the instructions. You may have to restart your PC after that error checking is complete.

    Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

    Step 2: command tool (DISM) deployment image Service and management.

    By running this command, we can retrieve or modify information in an image. To run the DISM command, please follow the steps below:

  • On my desk and computer portable firefox crashes when I try to download the program/driver, updates etc.

    Firefox crashes when I try to download updates to a number of different programs, etc. I tried to download updates LR4 and Adobe flash from Adobe and driver updates for Wacom tablets. Crash to desktop and laptop. I changed browsers and was able to download the updates. I first noticed what is happening on 12 December.

    This is because you use the free download manager, please uninstall it and use default downloader for Firefox.

  • Firefox crashes when I try to download a file

    Hello!

    I run Firefox Nightly 8.0a1 (2011-07-08) on Arch Linux 64-bit with Gnome 3, and I have a problem with crashes when I try to download files. This does not happen in the stable version of Firefox (5) I also installed on my computer.

    It is possible to open the Download Manager as long as there is no entries in the download list. But if I start a download of something - Download Manager opens with an entry (the current download) and Firefox disappears. Instantly, she disappears from the screen and the list of processes.

    I tried to delete the downloads.sqlite my profile folder, but it did not help.

    I also tried to rename my folder of profile all about something else and then created an empty folder of the profile with the name, was the first. When I started Firefox, then it recreates all the default content in the profile folder, so I found myself with a clean install, not amended. But it always crashed when I tried to download files. So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with extensions or similar.

    Suggestions?

  • Error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer.

    Original title: trying to download

    WinXP SP3, Security Scan run and d/ld: error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer. What to do now would be much appreciated.

    Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system.  the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ?  I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.

    It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing. " I'm relaying only because it occurred during the same mission of update: had msg of error that Win Firewall has not been set as a default, which reset, but found this hidden file when searching for the Protection of the customer: "Win 32/Hackdef' - it was a config with the extension ini file and was deleted by Scan."

    Thanks a lot for any assistance.

    Hello

    ·         You have Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer?

    If you have windows installed on your computer security essentials, then you will not be able to install Windows defender. Windows Security Essentials has antispyware component installed.

    You get the error because you have installed MS Security Essentials, which has its own function to antimalware. You don't need or want to install Windows Defender, too. Leave MS Security Essentials installed and do not turn it off.

    @ Evanston only!...

    You see the effects of a hijackware infection! If you had used the computer longer, I might recommend trying to detect & remove infections. But it would probably take a week or two and I'm sure you have better to do with your time right now so I would recommend the following (which shouldn't take any more than two hours of uninterrupted time).

    See...

    Cleaning a compromised system
         http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

    HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation and formatting the hard drive option" (or "reinstall it Windows 7") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7 article

    NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

    After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

    4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
         http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

    VERY IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool again Norton before installing updates AND BEFORE installing your new application antivirus (for example, Avast5 or Microsoft Security Essentials, free).

    Tip: Do not install Spybot again; It's really overkill in Win7 my humble OPINION, especially if you are installing Microsoft Security Essentials.
