My computer is stuck in "configuration updates: stage 3 of 3 0% complete.". Do not turn off your computer. It restarts just over and over again with the same message.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista, and I have tried the following to fix my endless reboot with the "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3 0% complete.".  Do not turn off your computer. »

  • I inserted the cd 'Réinstallation DVD Windows Vista', but it won't pop up any kind of prompt for me to do something with it.  I tried putting the cd in what was on the computer and tried leaving him in and restart it - but the cd has no EFFECT.
  • I used the F8 key and I tried the following with no luck: safe mode, safe mode with network, safe mode w / command prompt, enable logging, last known good configuration (Advanced) boot and debug mode.  Most of these options make the monitor off (to make you think he will do something), then it just restarts and did the thing reboot loop again and again.
  • I also tried the repair your computer option to the F8 key.  He asks me to log in as an administrator (but my password does not work).  So, I use the menu drop down and choose the name of my computer and then use my password, and I can connect to "restoration of access options '.  Once I'm in the "System Recovery Options".  I tried the following with no luck: Startup Repair tool, restore the system, Windows complete PC Restore, Windows Memory Diagnostic tool and command prompt.  THE only ONE that I HAVE NOT YET TRIED it IS THE "DELL FACTORY IMAGE RESTORE", it's because I want to try to fix it without losing everything on my hard drive.  Here are the details of the I've tried in the "System Recovery Options".
  • The command prompt says: 32 X:\Windows\system > (I have no idea how to use it, but it's what he says)
  • The memory diagnostic tool reboots the computer, but nothing new happening (just reboot over and over again)
  • In the PC restore full Windows: I tried to put the Windows Vista CD in, but it can not find a valid backup location
  • When I click on the system restore: it is said: "no restore points were created on your computer's system disk.  To create a restore open system protection point.  When I click on the system protection, it is said: "your computer is running in a limited diagnostic State.  If you use the system restore in this limited State, you can't undo the restore operation.  Help topics are not available in this State. "  So I press OK, and I'm back to square one.
  • When I click on startup repair: it says "Startup Repair could not detect a problem.
  • I know there are many many posts on this problem, and I think I've tried all the suggestions on how to solve the problem, but they do not work for me.
  • PLEASE HELP ME!  I need my computer for my college work.  I can't borrow laptop my friend forever!

  • Updates configuration: phase 2 of 3-100% full. Do not turn off your computer. Don't know what to do next!

    I have a 503WM Compaq Presario with Windows Vista Home Premium, which has problems after a Windows updated today.  First of all, I have installed .NET Framework (3.5?).  Windows Update started and downloaded a few other updates, and then asked to restart my computer - on restart received the updates configuration message, but when you have to configure the updates: phase 2 of 3-100% full.  Do not turn off your computer, nothing happens--or my hard drive internal or external are doing something and Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing.  What should I do next?

    Before that, I installed Hallmark Card Studio 2010 Deluxe and received an error message 2738.  Followed the instructions on Microsoft to add two files that had to do with the VB script.  Hallmark installation instructions downloaded then installed .NET Framework 3.5.  The update of Windows has started and installed (I think) 4 critical updates.

  • 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.)

    Hello 3Ran
    Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    Michael Murphy has provided these steps already; I'll just say it in a different way.

    Because you can't go to your office, I suggest that you start your computer in safe MODE. Next to normal mode, it is a different way to connect to your computer and makes a few changes when the problem.

    HOW TO START YOUR COMPUTER IN SAFE MODE

    1. Restart your computer if it is running.
    2. Press the F8 key after your computer powers initially.
    3. Once you see the menu Advanced Startup Options , you can stop tapping.
    4. Up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.
    5. Select Safe Mode with network and press enter.
