default configuration of the windows updates, coming back from updates.

whenever I start my computer, it says "failed to configure windows updates, returning changes." It wont even let me start normally. HELP ME PLEASE!

Hi Chrisuzumaki,

This problem could occur due to these reasons.

  • Corrupt Windows Update components.
  • Conflict between third-party applications or external devices.

Note If this occurs, it may take 30 minutes to undo changes, and then the system will display the Windows login screen.

I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and check:

Error: Failed to setup of the Windows updates. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer when you try to install Windows updates 

Note:

  1. When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
  2. Please do not perform upgrade in-place or reinstalling Windows.
  3. After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow the "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" section in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  • Updates to Windows 8 - "Configuration of the Windows updates, changes in restoration failure"

    Hello

    Recently I finally got my laptop back from repairs after 6 weeks. Now, it is in a 'clean' State (aka factory settins).

    I wanted to get to 8.1 Windows as soon as possible, but for this I need to be on the latest version of Windows 8.

    So I then try to run "Windows Update" and let it install all updates recommended. He manages to download all updates,

    and then he tries to configure these. About 98% or 99%, it gives the following message:

    'Configuration of the Windows updates, changes back failure'

    It then goes in an infinite loop constantly, he ran for hours and hours without having passed this screen.

    So far, the only solution is to reset it to factory settings, which brings me to the point before that I try to update, so it is not move me.

    I've tried so far, but no luck what follows:

    To be clear:

    Many other people have the same problem.

    Please, I'm at a loss to date.

    Hi all

    Seems that I myself have found a potential workaround.

    Install only the KB2871389 allowed me to grab the download of Windows the Windows store 8.1.

    Then, I could install Windows 8.1 without a hitch and it normally seems using Windows Updater runs from there on.

    It is not yet a waterproof solution to water / final of 100%, but it seems to work for me.

    I hope this will help someone else with the same problem!
