Configuration of the Windows stuck at 67% updates then restarts and the entire process loop

Original title: configuration of updates

My computer starts to try to configure Windows updates immediately I turn it on and gets to 67% and no further. Finally, it restarts and start the process again without success. All this takes 11/4 hours before I can connect on the Internet. This happens only in the last 3 days.

Hi didi45,

1. the updates Windows tried to install?

2. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

You can read the following article and try the steps.

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

    Windows Vista and 7 update Reboot Loop Fix

    Symptom: You have a update that is causing Windows Vista or Windows 7, stuck in an infinite loop. The problem usually manifests as a "step 3 of 3:0 % complete...". "followed by a restart which starts at the exact same message, not allowing you to get on your account of connection or a desktop at all. It's a pain, and he doesn't stop, even in Mode without failure or advanced trying last good known Configuration in the start menu.

    Here is the short version for people who know how to get to tools to do this and if run System Restore from the installation DVD does not work: DELETE files

    \Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.XML AND (as applicable)

    \Windows\WinSxS\pending.XML and the infinite loop update will be set.

    There are two ways to get the files, you need to delete. The easiest is to start your installation of Windows and the button 'Install now' DVD, click on the link located at the bottom left that says 'Repair your computer' open a command prompt and type:

    del C:\Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.xml

    del C:\Windows\WinSxS\pending.xml

    The other way is to download a live Linux distribution such as the System of Tritech Service (which, unlike Vista or 7 DVD, can be booted from a USB flash drive for computers with no CD/DVD drive such as netbooks), open a command prompt, mount the file system and deleting the files. Assuming that your Windows installation is the first partition on the first hard disk, the following commands in rxvt or a console in the Tritech Service system should work:

    Mount.NTFS - 3 g/dev/sda1/mnt/sda1

    RM /mnt/sda1/Windows/*/cleanup.xml /mnt/sda1/Windows/*/pending.xml

    umount/mnt/sda1

    Anyway you do it, this solution will stop the engine update loop reboot and let you return to your computer. You may need to make some corrections, additional or manual updates if you have problems, but unless your login screen and/or the Office should be accessible! Is a very annoying problem and I noticed that Google is looking for things like "stage of vista 3 3 restart" usually only provides information about how to run the system on a Vista DVD restore. Unfortunately, if there is a problem with an update, sometimes the system restore does not work and fail with obscure errors, so this info is vital.

    Maybe it's your last chance to avoid giving to the top and reinstalling Windows, and we always like avoiding relocations!

    To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista:

    a. Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    b. on the general tab, click Selective startup.

    c. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    d. click OK.

    e. When prompted, click on restart.

    f. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If your problem is resolved after the clean boot, and then follow the steps in the following article to narrow down the exact source:

  • Upgraded Windows stuck 10 to 99% still once, and now it has exceeded the deadline

    Hello

    So I tried upgrading my laptop for windows 10 several times. It updates and then installs and is going slower and slower the higher percentage it gets. Once at 98%, that it takes 2 hours and 99% it keeps going. I have never run for more than 5 hours arriving at 99% until today, since it was the last day, I could upgrade for free. He is currently still 99% after running for about 20 hours and not come with an error message at all. So my question is, can I still get the free update now if this does not work, and how can I solve this problem.

    It is an Acer Aspire 5552 G 64-bit Windows 7 Home premium service pack 1. I can see there are a couple of uninstalled windows updates, it would be useful to them to install first? And if so, can I I re - run the upgrade now that the deadline for the free update is complete?

    I am a somewhat advanced user, if we need to change reg keys or pasting of the cmd commands is no problem.

    Best regards

    Hello

    1. what happens when you try to install updates?

    2 are you able to install some other updates?

  • Windows 7 Ultimate would update, reset everything and he lost my computer, how can I recover?

    I noticed that I had updates ready to install and need to restart my computer, so I clicked on the update computer and turn off.

    He did the updates, then stop. I turned it back on and it makes more updates.

    When he returned to the top, I logged on my user account in the same way I always have, the other accounts where there also, so it doesn't reset user accounts.

    In any case, I noticed my son on the bottom image was not there, so looked around and looks like it resets everything completely.

    My documents are all gone, my downloads, pictures, everything.

    Is it possible to restore it?

    Please let me know. I lost years of stored files.

    Thank you

    Richard

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    If you can't find a file on your computer or you accidently modified or deleted a file, you can restore from a backup (if you are using the Windows backup utility) or you can try to restore a previous version. Previous versions are copies of files and folders that Windows automatically saves as part of a restore point. Previous versions are sometimes referred to as snapshots.

    I suggest to read the following article and check if it helps.

  • Windows 7 Internet Time update registry hack and RealTimeIsUniversal (UTC)

    I think I discovered a problem with the internet time synchronization when RealTimeIsUniversal registry key is set to 'true '.

    In a default of Windows Setup, the time clock (RTC) real is supposed to be in local time. If you synchronize to one hour of the internet server in this default configuration, once the time is synchronized Windows will rewrite the exact time in the CMOS RTC as expected.
    However, if the RTC is in hour UTC and you have activated the key RealTimeIsUniversal, the exact time is is more written in the CMOS RTC after the internet time synchronization. You can still synchronize to an internet time server and the time will display properly for a short period, but time is not written in the CMOS and usually less an hour the nucleus will be re-read (incorrect) the CMOS RTC time and your stay will be distributed. There seems to be no way to get the correct time from a time server to write in the CMOS RTC.
    Is it possible to fix this so that the exact time is written to the RTC when you set to use UTC?

    I tried fixing a computer for a friend. It's a bit 15.6 "with Windows 8.1. When I start it, it starts the update (x %) and freezes at 3%. I have let it sit at the 'fail' and push away me in Windows. Which will never happen (4:30 later again to 3%).  I tried refreshing but the drive is locked and can't seem to find a way to fix this or the other. I have created a Windows 8.1 Refresh/restore disk but, as this isn't my computer, on which it has not been successfully upgraded to 8.1. So, I'm in a dead end here.

    B: cannot update or restore the disk is locked.

    C: have not found a way to unlock the drive successfully

    D: cannot create recovery media "positively successful."

  • Updated FireFox, restarted and now it will not open the browser, even if the icon does not appear in my taskbar. Was fine until the update last night. Win8.1 running

    When I move the mouse over the icon in the taskbar that appears after that I have I dbl-clicked on the icon on the desktop, you can see a miniature version of the browser open as usual, unfortunately, the browser will not open upward on the desktop. I've deleted and reinstalled several times. It has worked very well until I did the update last night.

    Machine features:
    8.1 to win
    16 GB of RAM
    3 video concerts
    Processor AMD FX-6200 6 3.80 Ghz
    64 bit

    Sometimes, a window is "off the screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the search for the start bar menu (or perhaps 8.x for Windows search of charms bar bar?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

Maybe you are looking for
