Corrupted file Windows 7?

My Windows 7 computer daughter portable keeps hanging.  It seems that the problem occurs when a Windows 7 update file is automatically installed in the background.  The file has already been downloaded and begins the installation shortly after startup is complete.  How can I find and delete the update file that has been downloaded so that we can begin the process of updating with a successfully downloaded file?

  • "Corrupted files windows on a computer".

    Hello. I have a Dell laptop, Inspiron, and told me on the phone to dell support that I corrupted windows files and this is why the computer won't get past the loading screen. I pressed all the options such as windows startup repair, start windows in SafeMode etc and I followed the advice on the dell Web site by pressing F8 and try to restart at an earlier date, but nothing does.

    Dell wants to charge me £40 to tell me how to do it by phone so I guess this isn't a very complicated problem it's just that I'm not at all techies.

    No indication on how to overcome this problem would be greatly appreciated and let me know if you need more information.

    Thank you!

    No guarantee...

    Make a check of the system files. Let him find corrupted files and see if he can fix them.

    Start button > Search box type cmd > look up, do a RIGHT click oncmd.exe > click onRun As Administrator > in this window cmd black and white, type at the prompt flashing sfc/scannow > press the ENTER key.
    Note: there is a space between 'sfc' and ' / '.

    All my drivers are up to date. I'm pretty confident that's not a malware issue. I take care of my line on activities that could infect my computer. Although I'm not 100% that excludes. I use Mcafee security Suite (fully updated and free with my broadband package). No other scanners time real AV are running. I However sometimes use a registry cleaner, after installation and installation of various programs. but I only use the default methods, never the registry COMPLETE cleaning cleaning method. In my view, these could create problems if used files. I also defragment my HARD drive of 1 TB at least once a week.
    DISM / / cleanup-image online /restorehealth/ also is not working error message and log files can be found below!
    I ran sfc/scannow and several times,
    whenever I get the error message stating:

    of them. Details are provided in the cbs.log windir\logs\cbs\cbs.log newspaper.
    For example C:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log. Note that iis logging currently not
    supported in offline maintenance scenarios.
    When I reboot win 8 after running sfc/scannow. Windows 8 shows that it is far from my system of up to 100%
    It charges fine. I have run the sfc/scannow, and then he did exactly the same thing. I reboot and it updates my system. but does not not my files corrupted!
    CHKDSK /F also freezes 27%. But when I starts in the my Sony VAIO #1 recovery disk and run diagnostics hardware HARD drive repair tool to try to fix the sectors defective etc on my HARD drive
    which works 100% and says there is NO problem!
    Here are the files of newspapers that I can access. I have to admit, now, that I do not understand them.

  • Unable to start boot corrupted files Windows Vista Home premium

    Hello all recently I got my hands on an old Toshiba laptop Satellite I'm supposed to have attachment to a friend, however, she doesn't remember the password for the laptop so I searched for ways to circumvent the password and delete it however, I ran into a major problem, according to the wiki site , how you put in a family of Windows Vista installation disc premium, you select your country and all that say before you install is a repair of your computer, but I can't so I thought well maybe if I hit install that it will recognize that there are already Windows Vista on the computer however to my dismay that it did not so I canceled the installation but now the computer does not even boot into Vista at all he'll just do Startup Repair whenever whenever it starts "Windows loading files" I already tried several things the bootrec command using command prompt without success, I tried to restore the master boot record by using the command-line without success either, here are the details as seen from the Startup Repair tool: signature of the problem GREATER TOMBENT AUTO there is also one that says corrupt boot configuration data and who says fix partition table I look it up online that I mean who is the code which is the ID of locale 1033 I looked up the exact problem this forum and he said if there is the disconnect a USB connected the problem with that is there is no USB device connected. To clarify what I said earlier about wiki, how what I tried to do initially was put in the trunk of installation disk from the CD in the environment of the installation, then click on repair your computer so that I could use CMD to reset the password online, I have seen that you can change the keys to self-retaining pull up of CMD by modifying the ease of access button but I thought that it would be easier because I don't have to understand how to fix the ease of access button after I did. So now I am at a loss as to what I could do next to important things to note that this computer doesn't have system restore points stored on it so it is not an option if you do not understand something please let me know and thank you for your suggestions. PS I will try a disk check, now that I think of it.

    Hello all I was able to restore the computer back in working order without password, I did however have download and burn a copy of Vista Home premium at my discretion. But I use the product key legally reactivate Windows Vista Home premium but I have to say that the search for the driver for this laptop has not been easy, especially the pilot Wi - Fi that I had to go

    burn it to a disk, and then install the software in this way. I really don't know not how I got the display driver correct because I downloaded the driver two booster and then the next minute it was display driver just because I checked on the user manual on Toshiba.com and it was the correct an Intel 3000 graphics thank you all so much for your help and I hope this helps someone else :-)

    To check and repair your system drive, the check must be done on the next boot before Windows loading completely.  When you entered your command chkdsk c: f, it should tell you that it could not be done now, and it's OK to do the next time.  You then answer "Yes" and then restart your computer.
