• Windows 8.1 message 'you could not complete updates, by undoing the changes, do not turn off your computer.

  Greetings,

  I installed updates in my Windows 8.1 partition.  Then he asked me to restart the computer, and the message "we could not finish updates, exchange loss, do not turn off your computer" appeared and was on-screen for hours.  I thought to reinstall bootcamp but I have software in the Windows partition that cannot be recovered.  I read that one of them starts Windows in 'Safe' Mode, but this is not possible. I use a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015) OS X 10.10.5

  How can I fix this without wiping the Windows partition and lose my software?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I get this error "failed to configure windows updates. returning from changes. do not turn off your computer. The computer is a Samsung Ativ tab 5 and I got it for a little over a week.
  I have updated with the SW update
  The results of the troubleshooting online are:

  I have been through ALL the steps as described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358. I have had no success.
  One thing that bothers me, is in the configuration of the system, I have a service called true vector Internet Monitor (Zone Alarm) and when the value disable as in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135, it is the only service still running when you perform a clean restart. I don't know if this affects the Automatic Updates/configuration or not.

  Hello

  Thanks for trying to help. Now my computer seems to be up-to-date.
  I followed your steps but MicrosoftFixit50202.msi did not like "my OS is incompatible. I use windows 8.  I couldn't run this in default or aggressive.
  I did go in Control Panel and disable antivirus and firewall Zone Alarm and reset Windows defender by default.
  I did IE default web browser I have prob changed when I got to the computer.
  I then returned to set up a clean boot and this time I managed to disable the true vector Internet Monitor (Zone Alarm) to run.
  I ran the reset troubleshooting of Windows with the same result as before is to say:
  Recent updates - not fixed installation problems
  Search for missing or corrupted - files detected
  I think I have restarted my computer at this stage and then tried to update again.
  It has not yet, but with the error, I got an error code and a link to help. I don't have not noticed this before. I followed the help and ran about 5 command prompts that have to do with the renaming of files I think.
  Then I tried updating again and this time 38 45 updates succeeded. I then ran the update again and it seemed to work on the other 7 updates.
  Although Windows Update said I was now updated, I was skeptical as when this whole thing started is started when I got the "windows installs updates" and then "failed to configure updates. Returning... etc"then I restarted my computer. At the start, there was no message on try to configure the updates, then, how do I know they are configured and working as it should?
  Thank you.

  Visa update problem

  After trying to install the updates.  my computer is now stuck in constant reboot mode while showing "Configuring updates 3 of 3 0%, do not turn off your computer.  I tried to follow the instructions provided here because it seemed to be the same problem.  But when I restart and hold down the F8 key so I can boot into safe mode, I tried selecting safe mode and I get the same results, and I tried again by selecting the option 'Disable automatic reboot' which seems to be an option on the same page with the option of safe mode.  Whatever it is, the same message comes back and I can never get to where I can see my desktop to click 'start '.  I can't get out of this cycle.  I installed the update because it said I needed to install it.

  *************************************************************************************************************************************************

  Turn off your computer by holding the power button for about 20 seconds.
   
  Start your computer in safe mode: press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears
   
  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure:
   
  • Click Start
  • Click on Control Panel
  • Click on system and Maintenance link.
  • Click on the system link
  • In the left pane, click Advanced system settings
  • Locate the startup and recovery area, click the settings button.
  • In the startup and recovery window, uncheck the box next to automatically restart.
  • Click OK in the startup and recovery window
  • Click OK in the System Properties window
  • Close the system window
   
  After that... While STAYING in safe mode I do a system restore and maybe try a manual install of the update later.

• Error "FAILED TO CONFIGURE UPDATES of SYSYTEM REVENANT of CHANGES DO NOT turn OFF YOUR COMPUTER"

  Respected by all,

  Could someone help me please with the problem. I can't access the windows at all. It has blue screen that says "FAILURE TO CONFIGURE updates SYSYTEM RESTORE CHANGES updated DO NOT turn OFF YOUR COMPUTER" pls help

  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.
