Infinite loop of "Failure to configure Windows updates" Windows 8

• Has managed to recover from the infinite loop restart Vista SP1 "configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0%"- but Windows Update always wants me to install Vista SP1!

  WIndows Update asks me to install Vista SP1. I did and got into the infamous infinite loop of SP1 (infinite loop ' configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0% "with Vista SP1). I used F8 to repair my computer, and I chose a restore before the SP1 update point has been installed. The restore point has been applied successfully, so I have the computer in the back. Super. However, Windows Update wants me reinstall Vista SP1. Needless to say, I am reluctant to do so. But I want to be aware of the Windows updates. What do I do? TIA

• Laptop Toshiba Windows 8 failure to configure the updates... Returning from endless loop

  I bought a new laptop (Toshiba Satellite C55-A5281) with window 8.  Once through the new normal computer set up, I saw that there were 108 updates for Windows 8.  Yes, it's a hundred and eight!  OK, may as well do before loading anything on the new computer, right?

  Hours and hours later... I was always in an infinite loop.  I've been through all this hit F8 once forcing them to close and restart upward... then made the deal of refreshing to try to fix.  Then, I started the whole update process on and got the same thing... Hours later, once again.  I actually let it run all night.  Same ugly loop once again.

  Maybe doing 102 updates at the same time, it is not a good idea.  But I have no idea of those who to try to do first.  Or exactly how just a little at a time.  And if I have to do one at a time, and each takes hours, I can't live that long...

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I knew before Windows 8 would be a challenge... but unfortunately it seems a lot harder than I expected.

  I did the full restore... and then did a full reformat reset it all back at the factory.

  Then I did some updates at once instead of 102 all at once.  It took forever, but seems to work.  Then I got a notice of update to Windows 8.1.  I did that as well (took hours) and everything seems to work now.  I have probably 20 hours of downloading (and wait) and the download time (and waiting) with this.  I hope it's over and I can go on living it normal.

  I'm stuck in a repetitive cycle of the installation of three updates that loads OK set up all three steps on turn off the computer to restart, but on retarting the computer goes through a process of configuration of all three steps again only to fail with the message.

  Updates not configured correstly

  Looking at the update instructions, I see that I have three failures.

  This process keeps repeating.

  Audit of the error in the log it gives 8007005 which seems to be a catch-all.

  I managed uinstalled - and configured Windos - several updates without problem, so I don't see that I should have a problem of "permissions".

  Someone give me a clue as how to deal with this issue?

  Thank you

  Hi Don,

  ·         You are the administrator of the computer?

  This error can occur because of a bad permissions on a particular file or registry key because it is generally bound to the access denied message.

  Hello Grimm,

  Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

  1. How do you reinstall Windows on your computer? Is it through disk recovery OEM or retail version of windows?
  2. Did this computer came with preinstalled 8 window or you have upgraded from a different version of Windows?

  I suggest you run the commands in elevated command prompt and control below if this can help.

  1. Press Windows key and X at the same time.
  2. Choose line (Admin) command on the shortcut menu.
  3. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

  DISM / Online/Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth.

  This command is used to check if an image is repairable. Scan the image to check corruption. This operation may take several minutes.

  DISM / Online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

  This command is used to repair an image.

  Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

• My Dell Latitude Tablet is stuck on 'Failure to configure Windows updates from reinstatement of changes' (Windows 8)

  It was stuck on this during about 3 hours and I desperately need to use... It is essentially new from today, as I had mail. I really don't understand why this is happening and I can't find a way to fix.

  From what Ive seen in similar forums, that I'll post things that do not work in my situation.

  • I don't have any sort of keyboard or mouse for this tablet.
  • I tried to restart the flight button and button / stop
  • I took the battery.
  • I do not have a more 8 GB USB so I can't use a recovery.

  Honestly, I'm so frustrated because I both want and need to use it for school... I don't have the time and money to run around to try to find a larger USB... at least not for a few days or a week. If no indication as to what is wrong and all the other options would be very appreciated.

  Hi Alex,

  I understand the inconvenience caused to you due to this problem. Installation of Windows Update takes this long period. It seems to be a problem with the Windows Update components. You could also face this problem at any time update does not install correctly and it is not to let any other updates to settle.

  As you mentioned that this is a new feature by Dell I suggest you contact the manufacturer or point of purchase. You can contact the Dell forums on the information provided below.

  I reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 7 Premium Edition on a HP Pavilion DV6 laptop after changing the hard drive failed. My first attempt at the time. After installing all the drivers I could find on the site of HP, I was up and running, but done Windows Update always looking.

• Failure to configure the updates on Windows 8

  Whenever I try to update my laptop windows8, it installs the updates, restart, fails to set them up and go back. I have the laptop plugged into the wall and the ethernet cable to ensure that there is no interruption in the diet or by internet. I'm kinda a waste since I can't go to 8.1 without having to install updates 1. I tried to go into the settings of update, but it fails to do so by using this too. What is McAfee? Any help would be welcome.

• ATI2DVAG infinite loop on NEW pilots, but not on the old...

  I get an ATI2DVAG infinite loop on my xp system AFTER update my drivers from AMD; If I uninstall the nine and go back to the 'old' everything will be fine and work properly. I've done three or four times, and the results are always the same; now, it's really bugging me...

  Someone at - it an idea on why such a thing is happenning?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Francisco,.

  It seems that the drivers that you install is contradictory as rolling back to previous drivers does not cause the issue. Recent driver update makes your computer unstable.

  I suggest contacting the manufacturer of the computer or you can also contact support AMD to check if they have any suggestion on the same: http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx
