How can I stop my computer restart during the installation of Windows updates?

My laptop Dell Inspiron 1501 problems of marketing, past the login screen. However once I managed to get it on it works fine.
I get messages saying my computer needs to reboot to install updates - but I'm afraid that I won't be able to restart once it has been automatically disabled.
These updates sometimes, in the middle of the night when I am not able to postpone updates - how can I activate the restart automatic offf?

  • How can I stop my computer freezes during disk defragment?

    When you try to run Disk Defragmenter, my pc freezes when defragmentation is 3%, on the c:\windows\system32\wucltui.dll.MUI file. I downloaded the software Microsoft Fix It, which stopped the computer freezes during the compression of the files old during a cleaning of the drive ("compress old files" isn't even an option more when you do a disk cleanup). The problem was significantly higher than earlier, gel when there are too many programs running. I did a lot of work on it, trying to return to normal, and although he is capable of multi - load again once, I still can't free space with the Disk Defrag. I tried almost everything... boot in safe mode and the closure of all firewalls and updates, I tried to disable restoring the system and running defragmentation again. I ran 'chkdsk' nothing works. I downloaded the registry cleaners, cleaned manually files unnecessary and much more. I don't know what more can be done, but I need the defrag to work. PLEASE HELP ME!

    I just discovered this problem on my HP Compaq husbands, don't know where it comes from! When I analyse it says there is no need to be defraged, and I'm not about to reinstall XP! He has 65% of free space, the only thing it's really about that is to play poker on NLOP and watching junk sports! NLOP works with microphone$ .net framework and they have just updated their site, could it have caused the problem?

    Can someone please provide a better answer?

    I just lost my entire C: drive on my desk and had to take, now it's and drive E:! Something to do with "XP Media Center Edition" that he made, personally I think it's inept technology who didn't know what he was doing because he forgot to install my Audio drivers and he's happy that I had saved some files is from another, so I installed them myself! Mine is a Dell.

    What would cause this happens in the first place?

    EDIT:

    Just did
    Chkdsk, I did some reading more and it worked, I now switched to this place so far!

    Hi MarcyDowning,

    If the update is blocked for hours, then you can try to restart the computer and check if it starts in normal mode.

    If not, then try to start in safe mode and try to perform a system restore:

    Step 1:

    You can check the article to start in safe mode:

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

    Step 2:

    If you are able to boot into safe mode, and then try to perform a system restore and check if you are able to boot into normal mode:

    How to restore Windows XP to a previous state

    Note: When safe mode system restore, system restore points are deleted.

    Once you are able to boot into normal mode, you can try to install the updates in batches containing updates 4 or 5 at a time and check if it helps.

    !! 0xc012001d! Registry\Machine\Components\DriverData...

    Hello
     

    1. remember the number of the update you have installed?
    2. could you give us the exact error message?
    3. Once you get this error message? Are you able to boot to the desktop?
     
    Method 1.
    Please check if you face the same problem when recording in safe mode. It is a possibility that one of the non-Microsoft application or driver is causing this issue. Start in safe mode and make sure that us. If you are able to start properly in safe mode, we can perform a clean boot in order to find the root cause.
     
    Step A.
    a. restart your computer.
    b. when the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information tap the F8 on your keyboard key repeatedly until you are presented with the screen Windows Vista Advanced Boot Options.
    c. using the arrow keys, select the desired option of Mode without failure.
    d. press the Enter key on your keyboard to start in safe mode of Windows Vista.
    e. when Windows starts, you will be at a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and the Windows Vista goes into safe mode.
    f. do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    If it works fine in safe mode try performing a clean boot in order to find the cause root.
    See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.

    Note: When the diagnosis is complete do not forget to reset the computer to a normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.
     
     
    Method 2.
    Best thing you can do is to perform a system restore just before where the problem occurred.

  • Failure recovery Windows vista CTOERROR.flg and after that error the error 0 x 643 during the installation of windows update

    Hi all

    system information: HP DV6 LAPTOP, windows vista sp1

    When I try to install windows vista sp1 disks/recovery partition that I get the error recovery manager prompting me to choose either to see the details of the failure or restart: CTOERROR.flg as a Notepad on my desk. I did try 100 times but nothing helped. I can't restart after this recovery failure message because it shows the dialog box when restarting: windows security update is not properly installed or is not approved. So, I have to go through the process of recovery again to see the desktop (any operation - music video, internet, all), but only once.

    The last time I got this message too. When I did the windows installation of recovery a few months back discs, this time I figured out to install all updates IMP to automatic update via update of windows. All updates have been installed successfully, then it restarted and gone through the process of language settings, time settings and everything...

    But this time when I'm trying to update windows, I get windows update, error 0 x 643 which is updating security for .net Framework 3.5 sp1 and update family. I don't know the answer how to exit with this error "windows help" and also this forum too, which asks for the installation of the updates of the .net framework from the windows update site directly. But the problem is:

    Updated Windows ask me to restart windows automatic or manual update installation takes place and restart causes problem because it shows the dialog box - windows security update is not installed successfully. I need to install all updates at once like last time of my understanding. :

    1. so, if I install the update to windows (to try my luck as last time) it says error 0 x 643 for .net framework and you ask to reboot, and after that when I try to manually install failed 0 x 643 updated it asks me to restart windows for pending updates.

    2. in the alternative, if I try to install the update failed everything first just after the failure of the recovery it doesn't allow me to install important updates for vista sp1 and asked to restart windows.

    All I need is to update all updates via windows automatic update that is not happening at the moment.

    Not even be able to upgrade to sp2 bcz it also restarts for installation.

    Help, please.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi harry973,

    Download Service Pack 1 will not convert in a disc in Windows Vista Service Pack 1.

    A recovery disk will not be useful to perform an Inplace upgrade to.
    You will need the original Windows Installation disc.
    If the disc that came with the computer, then it would be a drive OEM (manufacturer). This disk can only be used for a reinstallation of Windows.


    Hope this helps!

  • Error 0x80072efd, 80070005 and 800F0922 during the installation of Windows update.

    Original title: impossible to install the latest updates of Windows 8 or access certain applications

    I got my Lenovo Y50 for a month or less. I'm happy with it, but recently I went to open the app store and receive 0x80072efd error message. I did a lot of research on these subjects and tried many things before asking my question, so here's what I know:

    It seems than most of my other applications that require an internet connection doesn't work-weather, hightail, Bing news - but Internet Explorer only and all programs of office work.

    I'm on Steam frequently and recently I get error code-138 on any page other than my inventory, but I can access my account and the information very well on a browser. I guess that this is related to my network problems.

    I have downloaded and run software troubleshooting twice and failed twice.

    When I went to update my story, I found that all my automatic updates didn't start a week ago. I did a manual update and got the 80070005 error messages and 800F0922.

    I thought that my PC had been updated when I stopped it, because he used "Please do not stop your computer while it is up to date...". 1 of 12 "routine. I thought that the problem could be that I had not all bleached programs, so I closed all the possible applications and restarted. He said, it has been updated as usual, but when I went back to my history of editing, he always showed he didn't.

    I made sure my firewall was not blocking applications or software update. I made sure that I have an internet connection. I did so that I do not use a manual proxy configuration. I made sure my Microsoft account is verified. I even ran a code a few people posted on another thread. I think the only thing I didn't try was temporarily disable my firewall. I'm sorry to start a new thread about this, but I have not had much luck fixing the problem.
