Failure of windows updates changes to recovery (using Windows 8). Turn a computer off

I did a refresh with Acer laptop and lost everything. RELOADED Office 2013 and some applications after if and it seemed to work.

I went to then turn off the laptop and he tried to update about 72 updates. After 30 minutes, the message "preparation set up windows" do not turn off computer. When he tries to restart, the message "failure configuration windows update changes back? rises.

He continues to do in cycles?

You need to disconnect all your removable media to the computer, such as removable disks (Blu - ray disc, DVD, CD), the memory cards (CompactFlash, Secure Digital card, Memory Stick card), and USB flash drives.
These removable media can cause this problem during the restart of Windows.

or

System restore - Note if your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, or if Windows was preinstalled on your computer without the CD or DVD, see the documentation that came with the computer for instruction about how to continue, or go to the next method.

  • Windows Vista using Windows features turn on or off does not

    I am trying to turn on IIS in Windows Vista using the Windows features turn on or off. I check the box IIS and click OK. Then I get a message that says "Please wait while the features are configured. This may take several minutes. "There is a progress bar but it is blank and there is a Cancel button, but it is disabled. I tried to create a new user account, and it does not solve the problem. If it's any help, when I use the Task Manager to end the task, he said something along the lines of "this programming is waiting for a user input. How can I solve this problem? Is there another way to turn on IIS?

    Sorry I have not responded earlier. I never saw your post. Maintenance has been done on the forum yesterday and your message appeared as if by magic.

    There are many problems with vista that will most probably never be fixed. If they could have fixed them easily Microsoft would not be rushed on Windows 7.

    The only hope would be SP3 but it seems unlikely.

    It's a shame because that Vista could have and should have be the best OS to date, but because of all the problems, complain and impatient people and $$$ along Windows 7.

    No need to throw your laptop Vista in the drink!

    I got rid of 98% of the problems in this way.

    When I bought my last laptop I paid extra for the OS DVD and reinstalled the operating system after SP2 came out (and was very happy also to get rid of the full factory image of... Dell put on my system).

    SP1 was on my DVD of the OS, so I bought SP2 from Microsoft (it costs $4 more delivery charges) https://om2.one.microsoft.com/opa/Validation.aspx?StoreID=1a7e5dd8-0088-46ce-a7d3-8fa1ab523be0&LocaleCode=en-us and after installing the OS, I installed SP2 before the drivers, utilities and Applications, in that order, and most of the problems have disappeared.

  • I got the message "SIM failure" on my IPhone 5.  The first time, I turned the phone off and turned it back on and it started working again.  I got the same message today and by turning the phone then next turn did not eliminate it.

    message "SIM failure" of "no SIM".  1st time it happened I turned the phone off and turned it back on and it was OK.  It happened again, and this time cut off and back on does not the phone is working correctly.  Cannot make or receive calls.  Nothing has ever changed with my carrier.

    First get a replacement SIM from your operator. If this does not fix it you have a hardware problem.

    Hello

    I have a year old Acer Aspire 5720 with Microsoft Windows Vista installed on it. Windows Update said I had to install a Service Pack, and when I let it go automatically everything seemed fine and update 3/3 went to 100% and then rebooted and said 'not installed the Service Pack. Coming back has changed. Do not turn off your computer. "This screen for hours or as long as the computer is turned on. I can't access either safe mode. The computer came with an installation CD. I can access the recovery menu by pressing F8. My stuff is not backed up either and I can't access it and I am really worried!

  • XP installation update every time I turn the computer off.

    I don't know what happens, whenever I turned off my PC (running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, SP3) for the last week or so, it is said that it will install an update, if I disable normally.  I mean, click the button, it installs and turns off, and then the next time that I turn it off, it happens again.  1 update every time, I let it run all along, just as I always before.

    Teepet,

    Please download and save the Fixit on this page - How to reset the Windows Update components?
    Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers.
    Now run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose it's default mode.

    When the Fixit has finished, open automatic updates in Control Panel. Do not restart the system, but even if you have been invited to.
    Set the update option for " download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them ." Click on apply, then OK.
    Close the automatic updates.
    Reboot the system now.

    Doing the above will force the automatic updates to download all the updates that are missing.
    When the Update icon, click it.
    Please note that updates are available and their numbers of KB.
    Close the window.
    For now, do installation No updates until what you have posted to those to whom they are.

    You have a laptop HP or Compaq? If so, check your BIOS settings. Some portable HP/Compaq have a setting in the BIOS for LAN/WAN switching. It's the Wireless Assistant HP support on my HP laptop.
