Error "FAILED TO CONFIGURE UPDATES of SYSYTEM REVENANT of CHANGES DO NOT turn OFF YOUR COMPUTER"
Respected by all,
Could someone help me please with the problem. I can't access the windows at all. It has blue screen that says "FAILURE TO CONFIGURE updates SYSYTEM RESTORE CHANGES updated DO NOT turn OFF YOUR COMPUTER" pls help
You may need to stay on this screen for not more than one hour, if there are serious problems with Windows Update.
If you can always access your PC after waiting, turn off your PC. Then turn it on, immediately pressing F8 constantly. Once you get a black screen with options, select Safe Mode with the arrow keys and press enter on your keyboard.
Once Windows finishes loading of files, you can start in safe mode, where you should be able to log on normally. You will notice that the screen resolution has changed, and when you log in, you will see a black desktop computer. This lets you know that you are using safe mode. Once you log on, restart normally.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista, and I have tried the following to fix my endless reboot with the "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3 0% complete.". Do not turn off your computer. »
- I inserted the cd 'Réinstallation DVD Windows Vista', but it won't pop up any kind of prompt for me to do something with it. I tried putting the cd in what was on the computer and tried leaving him in and restart it - but the cd has no EFFECT.
- I used the F8 key and I tried the following with no luck: safe mode, safe mode with network, safe mode w / command prompt, enable logging, last known good configuration (Advanced) boot and debug mode. Most of these options make the monitor off (to make you think he will do something), then it just restarts and did the thing reboot loop again and again.
- I also tried the repair your computer option to the F8 key. He asks me to log in as an administrator (but my password does not work). So, I use the menu drop down and choose the name of my computer and then use my password, and I can connect to "restoration of access options '. Once I'm in the "System Recovery Options". I tried the following with no luck: Startup Repair tool, restore the system, Windows complete PC Restore, Windows Memory Diagnostic tool and command prompt. THE only ONE that I HAVE NOT YET TRIED it IS THE "DELL FACTORY IMAGE RESTORE", it's because I want to try to fix it without losing everything on my hard drive. Here are the details of the I've tried in the "System Recovery Options".
- The command prompt says: 32 X:\Windows\system > (I have no idea how to use it, but it's what he says)
- The memory diagnostic tool reboots the computer, but nothing new happening (just reboot over and over again)
- In the PC restore full Windows: I tried to put the Windows Vista CD in, but it can not find a valid backup location
- When I click on the system restore: it is said: "no restore points were created on your computer's system disk. To create a restore open system protection point. When I click on the system protection, it is said: "your computer is running in a limited diagnostic State. If you use the system restore in this limited State, you can't undo the restore operation. Help topics are not available in this State. " So I press OK, and I'm back to square one.
- When I click on startup repair: it says "Startup Repair could not detect a problem.
- I know there are many many posts on this problem, and I think I've tried all the suggestions on how to solve the problem, but they do not work for me.

Original title: tried to update computers rose to 12%
Hi Sandra,.
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
I understand that you can not install some updates with the error message "failure of configuration of the Windows updates...". ». I can imagine the disadvantages suffered by you and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem.
First place, according to the error message, I suggest you to try the steps in the following article and check if it helps.
Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
The question may arise if the Windows downloaded update packages are corrupt. So, if you are able to boot to the desktop with the help of the above article, I also suggest you try the following steps and check if the problem persists.
Method 1:
Try to run that Windows update utility provided in the following link.
Problems with installing updates
Try to install the updates after running the troubleshooter.
If the problem persists, try the following method.
Method 2:
I suggest you to use Deployment Image Servicing and Management to fix Windows Update errors.
(a) open an elevated command prompt. To do this, press the Windows key + Q and type in CMD right click on command prompt in the list and select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
(b) type the following commands. Press enter after each command
- DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
- DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
(c) close the command prompt, and then run Windows Update again.
Check if the problem persists.
Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.
