Patch, preventing startup

Because some updates were installed today, including several security updates, I had problems with the boot on my computer. The only way I can get it to start is to use the system restore.

Start Assistant said that "a patch is preventing the start", but these updates are the only things I have installed recently. Is there anything causing a problem right now with this?

Also:

2. click on start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    Then restart the system.

  • A patch prevents the system from start - after KB981852

    Now I got my Windows 7 x 64 no longer starts after the automatic update of last night. Seems that some hardware configurations are not affected. I can't start for something else than to the console. I tried to remove everything "removable". All I need is to begin the system only once, to run some software to make backups. Unfortunately, I don't have restore points, or images of my system. In the newspapers of the restoration, I could see 'BadPatch '.

  • is there a work around for the connection with https. the ssl/tls security patch prevents us to connect to a known trusted site

    I made the mistake of updating to Firefox yesterday and with the ssl security fix find I can most connect to a web site in a data center which is protected by a fortigate appliance.

    I know the correct answer is to get the updated device updated or replaced, but in the meantime, I'm desperately need a workaround solution. It would be nice if there was an archive of old versions of Firefox.

    I changed the configuration settings to allow the renegotiation, but I think that the problem is more fundamental than that it does not appear that older versions of ssl are more provided.

    The error message "the connection was reset" can be caused by a bug for the attack of the BEAST fix (browser exploit against SSL/TLS) that the server does not support.

    See comment 60 in this bug report for workaround, but be aware that this makes you vulnerable to the attack of the BEAST.

    Got a HP Envy 17 3200 CTO LOADED at the time. Quad core, Radeon HD 7850M, etc.

    Well the other day something blue screened but froze during this process and seeds of graphs in this screen. Corruption and blocks appeared and disappeared. I was forced to close during the blue screen as something bigger was not working for the crash dump process, it stood at 0%.

    To restart the device display lights, and no noises are made beeps indicating a problem. The Bluray makes his usual preparation sounds it does every time you start upward. He's sitting with a white screen which seems not even to be turned on. The only other indicator is the key caps lock flashes several times and turns off, then blinks several times and turns off, repeating this sitting here...

    What part is probably dead on this sucker? CPU? DRAM? Motherboard? Graphics card? How badly can I turn if he doesn't...

    While he sits there, various lights keyboard are on as said... Caps lock flashing.
    Power LIGHT on. In my view, that the wireless light too... The light HP envy on the hood is also on...

  • ComboFix problem preventing Startup Windows 7

ComboFix messed up Windows somehow to keep it from start (based on what I've seen of a few searches on Google). I want to know is on the HP system recovery tools. Unfortunately, I was not smart enough to think to create restore points and I have to return a Windows install disk to use the recovery console or tool from HP on the score of "Factory Image. Will be the option that restores the disk hard it's "original settings" tool to do what I hope it does and put a clean Windows install on, or it will simply wipe the drive?

  • Windows Vista SP1 error: 0xc0190036 (kernel32.amx)

    I tried to install SP1 on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, like, forever now.

    He receives through steps 1 and 2 with no problems, then restarts the computer and begins to display all the registry files, etc., and then it freezes on:

    !! 0xc0190036! 4125/96829 (kernel32.amx)

    I have the voltage to the computer, then it will automatically load the Startup Repair.  In general I just do a system restore and live with all other errors (browser crashes, program freezes and incompatabilities, etc.) who accompany him not not upgrade, but now I really want to get this resolved.

    I kernel32.amx in C:\Windows\System32\manifeststore and tried to replace, rename, or delete, but I get an error message saying that I need permission to do so (even if I am logged in as the only administrator on this model). It is not read-only. I can't find it in the processes running in the Task Manager.  I am not even sure, however, if I look at the right file (are there other files named kernel32.amx?).

    I restarted Windows Mode without failure, but it's the same thing.  When I tried to reinstall SP1 & got the same error, I launched the Startup Repair and chose to not not to do a system restore immediately.  It generated the report to Microsoft:

    Problem event name: Startup Repair V2
    Signature of the problem 01: Auto failover

    I clicked on "View diagnostic and repair details" and he showed several tests that have been carried out; most were successful, but a few lines in this report seems relevant:

    Root cause found: a patch prevents the system to start
    Repair action: repair and checking the integrity of system files
    Result: failed. Error code = 0xa

    I went to the Advanced System Recovery Options, but apparently I'm not that advanced. I ran Windows memory diagnostic tool (which found no errors, but also does not generate a report), then re-run Startup Repair, which has generated a new report to be submitted to the slightly different Microsoft:

    Problem event name: Startup Repair V2

    Finally I just did a system restore to the last restore point. It is here where I am now. Any ideas?  I'm looking in the right places?

    Hi Didigrn,

    You got the error message indicates that kernel32.amx is damaged and there is one possibility of other files system is corrupted as well. All what we need to do is to rename the DLLs corrupted, restart the computer and let start the computer normally to complete the installation. Follow these steps to rename the corrupted dll file.
    (1) Insert the windows vista dvd and boot from the dvd.
    (2) select repair your computer.
    3) click on command prompt.
    Type the following commands and press ENTER after each line
    C:
    CD windows
    CD system32
    Ren kernel32.amx kernel32.amx.old
    (4) output of command line.
    (5) restart the computer and boot up normally.

    If you GET the black screen with a similar error and another file (except kernel32.amx), take note of the dll file, repeat steps 1 to 5 and type the name of the file in step 3.

    Restart the computer. It may take a while and you will be asked to connect to the desktop computer.

    Check in system properties if SP1 is installed or not.

    I hope this works. If you still have problem please after return.

  • Restart Windows Vista KSOD - no cursor - CLTRL/ALT/DEL

    After a Windows Update my 'spare' Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 computer laptop (MSI VR600, 2 Ghz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB, 250 GB of HARD drive memory) displays the famous KSOD. In my case, no blinking cursor, just a totally black screen. It is the first restart after installation of the Microsoft Updates. It seems that WINLOAD. EXE has hung or has not completed treatment by pressing CTRL/ALT/DEL just restarts the laptop. No disk activity occurs.
     
    1. I ran the Startup Repair (symptom: a patch prevents your system from start) and it is not to fix anything.
    2 rebuilt BCD
    3 run BOOTREC /FIXMBR and /FIXBOOT
    4 Ran System Restore point previous control and also the first available control

    Everything indicates that WINLOAD. EXE has a problem with something after the Microsoft Updates, but there is absolutely no output.

    This isn't a problem with the hardware of the new memory and HARD drive new worked for awhile.

    CHKDSK runs clean!

    I can't start the Vista recovery console no problem.

    My theory, there is an update pending preventing Windows Vista to start, but in the absence of any exit or diagnosis any where to start?

    I played with various options of BCD, debug, SOS and basic videos etc.

    I even created a boot disk (remember those?) with WINLOAD. EXE and a BCD and bootmgr.exe what boots and I can't see WINLOAD. Run the EXE.

    At this point, I'm ready to start debugging WINLOAD. Even if I have to follow all the EXE! While I could just restore this laptop to a recognized backup reliable, this has been a recurring problem with Vista and I finally had enough, BTW, I'm a COMPUTER Consultant with 35 years of experience.

    Any suggestion is welcome. If I find something solid I'll repost it here.

    Everything is nature!
