• 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.

  Hello 3Ran
  Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  Michael Murphy has provided these steps already; I'll just say it in a different way.

  Because you can't go to your office, I suggest that you start your computer in safe MODE. Next to normal mode, it is a different way to connect to your computer and makes a few changes when the problem.

  HOW TO START YOUR COMPUTER IN SAFE MODE

  1. Restart your computer if it is running.
  2. Press the F8 key after your computer powers initially.
  3. Once you see the menu Advanced Startup Options , you can stop tapping.
  4. Up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.
  5. Select Safe Mode with network and press enter.
  6. You should see loading drivers and then Please wait.
  7. You should then be on the Welcome screen.

  Connect to your computer using an account with administrator privileges.

• Windows configuration update 3 of 3 keeps repeating...

  When I turn on the computer all that I get is the screen saying configuration update 3/3, turn off your computer, etc...  This display remains the same for a long time (5-10 min) and when it ends finally it restarts and all comes down to the same 3/3 updates Configuration screen.  This process is repeated for 2 days now.  Can anyone help?

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your falls into the above category: download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  Hey Janeynflorida

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

• Vista - Error Code: 800F0816 (could not install KB2296011) Hung to configuring updates 3/3

  Laptop from my dad recently started showing "configuration updates 3/3" followed back changes not configured message. It is on a continuous while loop that will sometimes allow windows Vista Home Premium to start. 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.

  You don't have to pay "Microsoft Help" for a response from the update that you have posted, KB2296011, is a Security update.
  Of MS10-081: vulnerability in the Windows common controls library could allow remote code execution (KB2296011)

  Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

  800F0816 - express package has not been completely downloaded. The status of the operation was recorded while the package is downloaded. An express package is a package that you are installing by using Windows Update. With these packages, only the files needed for that specific computer are downloaded and installed (unlike when all is downloaded to a computer).

  For a 'solution offline' you can try to manually download each update to the computer you are currently using and then transfer to the portable touched with a USB key.
  Then see if they install correctly. Given that we do not know all the edits concerned... open Windows Update in Control Panel, and then click View update history link to see updates try to install.

• Updates hung to "Configuring updates 3/3"

  A week ago, our computer, Vista, downloaded a great update from Microsoft. I started installation and left for work. When I got home, ten hours later, he was suspended on "Configuring updates 3/3". He finished at 0%. I turned off the computer, restarted and I got the same thing. I tried booting in safe mode and restore from a previous point and nothing works, I still get the same error. Is anyway to fix this without wiping system and start over? This happened with another update of Microsoft a little over a year, just after I bought the computer. At that time, it wasn't a big deal since I had it only for a few weeks. Can someone please?

  Boot from the WIndows DVD and go into repair options and start the command prompt and run this:

  DISM.exe / image: C: \ / cleanup-image /revertpendingactions

  (Replace C:\ with the pilot where your Windows is installed).

  This restores all pending updates, and you should restart your windows.

  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

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949358

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then this can happen if some updates are not installing successfully.

  I suggest you check the update history to know what update is declining and install it later manually.

  (a) open Windows Update by clicking Start , all programsand then click Windows Update.

  (b) in the left pane, click view update history.

  (c) to view more information about an update, double-click it.

  Once you know the update's KB number then visit the Microsoft Download and put the number in the search box, download and install the update manually.
