• Tried to update in Windows Vista Home Premium, stuck in the "Configuring updates" and "reboot" loop 11/05/2011

  Hello! I have a portable M-6752 Gateway under Vista Home Premium.  It was perfectly functional this morning 11/05/2011.  Then I noticed the sign (of exclamation in a circle) who said the new updates.  So I started the update and thought nothing of it.  It was until an hour later and I realize that my laptop was still updated.

  Right now I am stuck in a loop between "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete.»  Do not turn off your computer' and auto restart.
  I tried to restart in 'safe mode' and 'safe mode with network.  These attempts did not help.  I'm still stuck in the loop and my laptop is overheating.  The only thing I could do was to be able to.  Fact that several times already.
  Fortunately, I have another laptop and is able to ask for help.  Can someone help me?  I'm NOT a technical person.  Thank you.

  Thank you, but my laptop WAS running Service Pack 2 when this problem happened.  It has been resolved.  For anyone having this problem, here is my experience and solution.

  When I found myself stuck in a loop and my laptop keeps restarting without giving an error message, it began to overheat.  I turned off.  When I turned on it again the screen "Advanced Boot Options" appeared.  I chose 'Safe Mode'.  Then, I went to "Configuring updates...". ».  Machine started himself reboot again.  It happened a few times.  Finally I had to turn the phone off again.  All of a sudden when I turned on again, the "Windows Error Recovery" screen comes on.  There is a choice, 'Launch Startup Repair'.  I chose this.  Machine asked me if it is allowed to create restore point.  Of course.  Then I GOT!  I was saved by Windows self-diagnosis program.
  If you are not familiar with the screens that I mentioned, please search 'screen name' and the word 'image' as a whole.  You will see what these screens look like.
  Now I realize there is another way to reach the Startup Repair.  When you turn on again, press the F8 key several times.  Which will bring you to the early Startup Options screen.  On advance Boot Options, there is a choice 'repair your computer', scroll down to this choice, press ENTER.
  Turning off my machine during the restart is another way to force the "early start Options" screen appears.
  I read that some do not have the "Repair your computer" option according to your PC in the screen «In advance Startup Options»  You will need to know how to get to the "Windows Error Recovery" screen.
  As a last resort, you can restart Vista recovery disk.  Many manufacturers do not understand that when they send the PC for you.  However, it is available for download for free on the internet.  You can download and make your own within 30 minutes.  I hope this helps!

• Has managed to recover from the infinite loop restart Vista SP1 "configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0%"- but Windows Update always wants me to install Vista SP1!

  WIndows Update asks me to install Vista SP1. I did and got into the infamous infinite loop of SP1 (infinite loop ' configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0% "with Vista SP1). I used F8 to repair my computer, and I chose a restore before the SP1 update point has been installed. The restore point has been applied successfully, so I have the computer in the back. Super. However, Windows Update wants me reinstall Vista SP1. Needless to say, I am reluctant to do so. But I want to be aware of the Windows updates. What do I do? TIA

• Configuring updates 3 of 3 loop

  I have Windows Vista 32-bit, package 2, service on my Dell laptop. It automatically downloaded and installed updates 12/01/2016, but got stuck in a loop in "Configuring updates 3 of 3, 0% complete."

  I went through each "fix", I could find in the various positions of the microsoft, with nothing working community to correct the problem. Using the disk to initialize my computer does not work either. It doesn't let me do a restore of the system either, because it says that there is no restore point.

  I don't want to lose the files that I have on my computer, and I can't go to any program to backup my files, if you use the disk to do a clean boot is out.

  What else can I try?

• Configuring updates stage 3 of 3 0% for disaster loop

  Recently, my notebooks has received two vista automatic updates resulting in the message to update "configuration updates stage 3 of 3 , 0%".

  I had to restore the two notebooks.

  How can I avoid this happening again?

  The only safe way to do updates is way below (which is an elimination!) and 2 ways to uninstall them.

  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 she show arrives once again, back with update KB number you are having problems with.

• Strange problem with Vista Home premium configuration update

  Just bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-1AI which was preloaded with Vista Home Premium.

  Clicked on configure updates on the front screen and he entered a loop that says: Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete. Do not turn off your computer.

  Every 5 minutes or so then stops and restarts with the same message. I left on for 8 hours, so can not believe he needs for this long. Just tried to set off, but when you restart it defaults as shown above.

  Please advise... even if you can get me right back to the normal screen before

  Hello

  Try please start your computer in safe mode and restore your operating system to an earlier time (before the update). Maybe this will help.

  In the future be careful with updates. I recommend you to disable the automatic update. Just check the list with updated supply and install important and recommended only. Disable all optional updates. You don't need them.

I have updated using HP recovery. As the version of the OS was old he himself day after a day or two. The update went well. After starting windows the next day he started the configuration of updates. Something went wrong and it failed with: "Failure of windows configuration updates from reinstatement of changes". She suspended and never finished. I've refreshed believe once again that it does not refresh correctly. All of this happens again. After updating once again, then whole reinstallation of windows, the problem persists. At this point, I updated the computer 4 times and reinstalled Windows 1 hour. I tried to disable all the services non-windows and update according to the guidelines of this forum: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Failure-configuring-Windows-upd, but it did not work.

  IM totally at a loss on what to do... can someone help?

  I had a similar problem. (Please note that English is not my native language - neither is my OS)

  Used part of the method 3 (see below) in the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358/en ... .and tried many times. Tips that have helped me:

  1. press F8 n several times in respect of the computer starts to enter a screen giving a "Repair" option at the top. (often F8 just gave your ability to start windows "errorsafe" mode). Use the repair option and the prompt from there.
  2. to access c: write simply ENTER c: (your problem with x :) - then write cd windows\winsxs
  3. I could not find the subkeys Remove in step 9 - so I did not (I gues HLKM is short for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ).
  4. HAVE patience - the first time you restart, you will see the "configuration updates stage 3 of 3." 0% complete"again - BUT it goes away after awhile and you get your desktop computer.
  5. I got some default Windows updates - so after the operation, I've updated from Windows Update - and then I lost my hopes again after restarting the "Configuring updates step 3 of 3. 0% complete"is here once again - but only for a while. Now, I can restart without coming once again (at least the two times I just tried).

  I hope that it helps you to :-)

  Use the system recovery options to rename the Pending.xml file and modify the registry :

  1. In the System Recovery Options page, click command prompt .
  2. Type cd C:\windows\winsxs, and then press ENTER.
  3. Type ren pending.xml pending.old, and then press ENTER.
  4. Type regedit and press ENTER.
  5. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE .
  6. On the file menu, click load the hive .
  7. Look for the following folder:
     C:\windows\system32\config\components
  8. When you are prompted for a name, type Offline_Components.
  9. In the registry editor, find and delete the following registry subkey:
     HLKM\Offline Components\AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
     HKLM\Offline Components\PendingXmlIdentifier

  Exit the registry editor :

  1. At the command prompt, type exit to quit the registry editor.
  2. Press ENTER.
  3. Click restart .

  Laptop from my dad recently started showing "configuration updates 3/3" followed back changes not configured message.

I checked the history of update and the first failure is KB2296011 which shows the error code 800F0816.  Currently, I have his laptop but cannot access the internet because it does not connect to the internet via my network (do not have the knowledge necessary for to be difficulty)

  Can someone help me solve this recurring problem. If necessary I will be able to access the internet on the laptop question but would like to know a solution offline if possibel. I don't want to pay Microsoft Help for the answer. I'm not very literate pc so a simple solution would be better.
