Computer is stuck on 36 of 41 updates Windows 7 Home Premium

I did a reboot on my PC and appearantly were 41 new updates that needed to be done.  PC is stuck on 36 of the 41 and has been for about 2 hours now.  How to get out of it without destroying my OS as seeking answers on that it seems that the warning of "do not turn off or unplug your machine" seems to be a serious warning as if you don't you will be restarted from the beginning.  I just bought this PC and have everything (files and music) from my old PC transferred and really don't want to have to go through it again at least for a few years.

Hi OldH2oSkier,

See the Microsoft article and try the steps mentioned below.

The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the computer restarts when you try to install an update in Windows Vista and Windows 7

Note: the preceding article also applies to the Windows 7 operating system.

I hope this helps!

  • Windows Vista Home Premium update problem step 3 of 3-100% complete

    My Windows Vista Home Premium began the automatic update, reached the point of view "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-100% complete.". Do not turn off your computer. »

    Now he's just running for hours with this screen showing...

    I can't say if this update will end finally alone, or if there is a problem and I should just reboot.

    How long should I wait before abandoning me and shut down the computer?

    Thank you.

    Hi JIB1955,

    Thank you for visiting the forums of answers.microsoft.com.

    It's been a while, we can think that the update is stuck and will not continue any further.  You can press Ctrl, Alt & Del and open Task Manager.  You should see the update on the Application tab, and you can select it and press end task.
    Click on the start ORB > Control Panel > programs and features, on the left, select view installed updates and see if the update that was being Setup finished installing.  If it does not have and does not appear on the list, you can restart your computer and try to install the update mode without failure.

    To do this, restart your pc and even if your pc is booting press the key F8 on your keyboard to enter the Advanced Boot Options menu.  On the Advanced Boot Options menu, select Safe Mode and press ENTER.
    Your computer will boot mode safe by using only the basic drivers and services, hopefully allowing Windows Update to complete the installation of the update, you are having problems with.

    Please let us know if you make any progress this way

  • Windows 7 Home Premium hangs on updated 25 June 1, 2010

    Hi I have a PC HP PavilonElite HPE-210Y new I bought on Friday, it is installed with Windows 7 Home Premium.    Friday we put in place, made overall upward and downloaded all the updates without problem. On Saturday, we have installed Adobe CS3, DropBox, Microsoft Security Essentials and Microsoft office 2007 (all legitimate copies).      It worked well through this morning, but at about 07:30 the computer says that it had updates installed (29 to be exact). I clicked on ok and went about my business, but it has since been blocked to update 25 for the last 2 hours, but no progress.   Light on the computer that blinks when the HD is committed has not lit at this time and I'm stuck on the screen that tells you not power off or unplug the machine installation 25 of 29...  I had not changed my power management settings, but after some research, it's seems that there are a few known issues with the processor to wake up for mode 'sleep', no chance that this is part of the problem?   other thoughts of what I can do to fix this?    Thank you

    Hi a drum.

    First, restart the computer and check if resumes normally and continues.

    Otherwise, start your computer in safe mode, and then perform the system restore .

    After restoring the system, wait until you get notification of updates of Windows on the system tray, close all applications before accepting the updates of Windows. Check what is happening.

    Windows have to restart Windows updates take effect. Check if it still hangs at the 25th update.

    FOR INFO:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/updates-frequently-asked-questions

    Also, before you configure Windows updates, go to Power Options and set it to never sleep.

    Check the updates that have failed in the history of the update.

    1. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.

    2. in the left pane, click view update history.

    3. to view more information about an update, double-click it.

  • Error code 80070005 when trying to update Windows using Windows 7 Home Premium

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, upgrade from Vista on a Sony Vaio VGN-FW350D. The upgrade was promotional as part of the purchase of the laptop in the Canada.

    I had no other pressing issues which have not been resolved. IHAVE run the built-in Windows based Registry Cleaner (like a cleaner 'free') and the dreagmenter of disk as part of the troubleshooting process.

    I have tried everything I can find on the setting of the following problem:

    When trying to update Windows (ie. Download updates of security or Microsoft security patches, etc.), the following is displayed: "Windows could not search for new updates - an error occurred when searching for new updates for your...» Code 80070005. It gives you the 'Try Again' button, but who does not work either.

    Also, after running in a Fixit 'Microsoft' by default and aggressive modes, change my registration to God knows what state by applying other methods proposed CIHI, now when I try an update of Windows, the "last check for updates '"and updates have been installed"the both indicate '' never. '' BTW, I have the restore points before you make these changes, so no worries there.

    I would like to point out that, as far as I know, this problem has persisted since January 1, 2011, when I downloaded and installed Microsoft Security Essentials, which would not update or another. Before installing MS Security Essentials, I ran Avast, I have re-installed after removing Ms Sec Ess.

    In short, Windows update does not work, giving Code 80070005. Can anyone help solve this problem with me? Thank you...

    Ralph

    Hello

    Error code 80070005 means generally that you're not quite allowed to install updates.

    If the problem persists, follow the steps mentioned below and the Coachman.

    Step 1:

    All first please confirm that you have logged on to an account with administrative privileges.

    To connect to the administrator account

    a. Click Start, right click on computer, then click on manage.

    b. expand local users and groups, and then click the users folder.

    c. right-click on the connection of the administrator, and then click Properties, and then remove that checking the account is disabled.

    Now, restart the computer and log on to the administrator account and try to update again.

    Step 2:

    You could disable your anti-virue and malware/spyware protection temporarily to see if they are contradictory with the update.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-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 need to 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, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Step 3:

    Uninstall Security avast software, install the update day, then reinstall Avast.
