Default configuration restoration changes Windows updates do not turn off the computer

Step 1 of the 'solution' to this error reads:

Drag from the upper right of the screen (or if you use a mouse, move the mouse to the upper right of the screen) and then tap or click settings.

It is impossible to do this step 1 because my computer never stops display failure message to offer a mouse or interactivity, whether... it is in an infinite loop of failure with no way to stop.  Same way as fail-safe after power reset does not work.  There is nothing I can do at all.

You will then need to repair your computer using a recovery disc or installation media.

Boot from the media(Instructions are here)

and then select repair your computer in the first screen that says install now:

Then follow option 7:

Then troubleshoot > open command prompt, and then type the following:

  • Stuck on the screen "Please wait" or "Configuring windows. Do not turn off your computer.

    I'm under 64-bit Windows 8

    Apparently, I scanned my system with a complete analysis of the system (AVAST) and my computer left thinking that it would take several hours. When I came back, my computer automatically shut down because it was left idle for about 4 hours. I don't know if the scan is finished. When I try to start, the screen becomes screen stuck on "Please wait" or "windows setup. Do not turn off your computer.

    I already tried to go on the System Recovery Options screen, then will solve the problems, then Advanced Options, but I tried everything what it and the problem persists even when I tried to start in safe mode. I tried to go to the command prompt, and then type sfc / scannow, but he says he cannot parse now. I also tried chkdsk / R, but it said the same thing. I don't know how to run cmd as administrator from the System Recovery Options.

    So now I tried to use system restore, but I'm stuck on the logo of windows for about 1 and a half hour. I don't know if I have to wait for it or it is already blocked. In other forums I've read, they were using only the Group of drive 'C:' connected with system restore. Should I do this?

    I think to delete AVAST or turn it off somehow.

    Please help me.

    Problem solved

    I would like to share how I solved the problem. I was able to start using the windows 8 cd and in the window that asks you the language of the windows 8 needs to be installed, you can see below "computer repair".

    After clicking on it, it automatically prompts me for advanced boot parameters. First I tried the auto repair, but it says the same thing, '.. '. can't fix right now... »
    So I tried the option "pc refresh. I waited a few minutes to cool to do and after the process, it is more hung please wait screen when starting.

    Once connected, I installed programs have been removed. In the local disk files, there is a new "windows.old folder ' showing all programs that I have the old system. Re-install program is easy and the best thing is that I have my computer back.

    My deep gratitude to those who helped me. Thank you!

  • Windows 8 closed do not turn off the computer.

    Hello

    I got windows 7 64 bit and everything worked fine, after the upgrade to windows 8, I had to update some drivers that was expected.  I remember very well not have problems during shut down my computer, I would choose Shut down and my computer would be closed and turned off as it should. Is that after a few weeks of running Windows 8 when a started problem where my computer wouldn't turn itself turned off after windows stops. I thought that maybe do a complete reset fresh windows 8 could solve the problem, but after reinstalling everything that I still have the same problem where my computer not power off. I tried disabling "quick start" to update my BIOS of motherboard.

    Anyone else have a similar problem that they were able to fix?

    I SOLVED MY PROBLEM!

    It turns out that there is a CMOS bug with my motherboard.  What I did to solve this problem is I have reset the settings in my BIOS AND I cleared the CMOS to its default (see the manual of the motherboard manufacturer for instructions on how to reset the CMOS settings), for mine, I used a jumper.

    Now, my computer stops correctly and goes off as it is supposed to.

  • How to decide which updates to accept? Is there a way to uninstall an update if it turns off the computer?

    Windows 7 updated 1 week ago disabled certain functions.  Could not get the printer to work until I had spent more than a half-hour in line with HP technical support.   He has kindly changed my settings so that updates do not load automatically.  Now have the message there is new update.  How decide whether or not it is safe to accept it?  If it screws to the top of the computer, can I uninstall it?  Should I just ignore the updates and keep the computer that works not changed?  I am a 70 year old doctor and do not spend days trying to fix the problems with this computer.

    Hi lagodasailing,

    I understand that you would like to know how to find out if it is safe to install an update or not and if there is an option to uninstall or cancel the installation of this particular update when they create a mess in your computer.

    First of all, I recommend you to continue the installation of any Windows Update, you are prompted to install. Windows updates are developed to close open ports, where a malicious user could get in your computer system.

    If an unlikely result occurs after you install the update, you can perform system restore to return the system to its previous working state back. If it is not-so-good result is caused of the newly installed updates more than 1, it is recommended to try to install the updates one at a time to separate or to know that it really caused the problem and after that the results back here so we could help more you or give you advice.

    You may need to stay on this screen for not more than one hour, if there are serious problems with Windows Update.

    If you can always access your PC after waiting, turn off your PC. Then turn it on, immediately pressing F8 constantly. Once you get a black screen with options, select Safe Mode with the arrow keys and press enter on your keyboard.

    Once Windows finishes loading of files, you can start in safe mode, where you should be able to log on normally. You will notice that the screen resolution has changed, and when you log in, you will see a black desktop computer. This lets you know that you are using safe mode. Once you log on, restart normally.

If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
