  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.
   
  For the sake of space I refer you to the article about how to proceed.

  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!

• "We could not all updates. Undo changes. Do not turn off your computer. "Stuck on this screen. UGH.

  I am extremely frustrated.

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop. It works fine, until today. My computer tried to update and in the process, failed. I wait now more than 4 hours on the same screen. Pressing F8 does nothing. I tried to restart. I can not open troubleshooting because the computer is stuck on the same screen. The circle to show that it is loading is always in motion and my mouse moves as well. I called MIcrosoft support and they told me to reboot and wait. It is, I already did, but they told me to do it again. I have some files I have would be broken lose. Help, please.

  Hello

  If you don't mind not to lose your files, turn the system off.

  Turn off the computer.  The next step, you will hear a shrill signal strong.  Be prepared.

  Press 0 (zero) key and power up the computer

  Key 0 (zero) when the recovery warning screen

  Press the F12 key during the appearance of the Toshiba logo

  You should then see the Start Menu

  Using the up/down arrow keys, select > HDD Recovery > press Enter

  If offered a selection of Windows 32 or 64-bit, be sure that you select the correct operating system

  You should be able to create a recovery media.  Once you have installed Windows, click Search > Type recovery

  You should see an option to create your own recovery discs

  If this isn't the case, I suggest that order you them from Toshiba.

• Takes 5 minutes - start Message: Configuring Windows Update 0% complete do not turn off your computer. Windows 7 Professional 64-bit system, works fine, but I get this stupid message whenever I start.

  How can I get rid of this stupid message and have a normal boot.  This took place yesterday, and it's a real pain.  How can I get rid of this.

  I had this problem 2 days in a row. Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. "Automatic updates" not ended and I got the same message on restart and had to wait for it to timeout.

  I tried "manually" update, and that fixed the problem.

  Go to the control panel. Click on system and security. Click on Windows Update and follow the instructions. I selected the updates recommended, installed and rebooted. Problem solved.

  (I have no idea why this problem occurred. In the "Windows Update", I opened the "update history" and saw the 'Impossible' updates, but I don't dig deeper than that.)

  I tried to use Windows Update, and it did nothing.  I have the update for 2 hours and 11-day for my computer downloaded 0% 0%.  How can I get the update downloaded and installed?

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Don't you worry in this regard at the moment, the servers could be a little overwhelmed. It will download when the servers are not so busy.

  There are quite a few updates coming through this month and a lot of people to distribute updates.

• Update error configuration Windows Updates... Do not turn off your computer. This is immediately followed by the default configuration of the Windows updates. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer.

  OT: Windows Update failure 8.

  I recently re-installed Windows 8 using an old product key once I updated my PC using Windows 7 due to failure to boot Windows Technical Preview. The installation went smoothly, but when installation is finished, he told me that I had installed updates, for the most updated security. I installed them and restarting my PC, he has said configuration Windows Updates... Do not turn off your computer. It is immediately followed by updates default Windows configuration . Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer. It accomplishes this task for like 10-15 minutes and then finally starts. Once my PC starts, this cycle starts again. So far, happened 4 times.

  Could someone please fix this? I want to update to Windows 8.1, but could end up, I'm stuck with Windows 8. (Also, why download from the store disappeared? "I'm not using a RT system).

  Thank you!
