PC stuck in a loop of update

My computer is stuck in a loop of update... I've seen people ask about the same problem and followed the advice that has been given to them, but it did not work for me. It is stuck in safe mode and it wont let me do a cover on it, or do the Offline command prompts. I'm not very good at such things and I'm getting very frustrated. Please can someone help?

Hello

·         You get the error message?

·         Are you able to boot to the desktop?

·         What exactly do you mean by "blocked in safe mode. ?

·         Do you get any error messages when you try to run a recovery?

·         You can perform a restore of the system to safe mode?

You can disconnect all external devices attached such as printer, etc. and check if the problem persists.

  • I did not have enough room to update so I'm stuck in a loop of update

    I have a computer but I have a hard drive that is too small, after shutting down my computer down it wanted to update, but the hard drive doesn't have enough space to update. Is it possible for me to say to the computer I want to update?

    Thank you

    What is the size of the disk hard that is installed on Windows 8?

    If you do not have enough space, you will have to try to create some:

    -Uninstall the older programs.

    -Archiving of files, photos, videos on an external hard drive.

    -Remove the old system restore points and reduce the amount of space drive, that system restore uses

    Press the Windows key + X

    Click System

    Click on advanced system settings

    Click on the System Protection

    Click on configure

    Under disk space use, slide the button to reduce the amount of space used by system restore

    - Clean the disc run

  • Satellite C660 - 115 Win7 update stuck in the loop. SOLVED!

    I have a Satellite C660-115 which is stuck in a loop "of despair".
    I am a COMPUTER engineer support and a customer brought this laptop of mine, who was stuck in a loop of repair Win7 (64-bit prem) that simply says Win7 could not be repaired.

    I backed up the profiles of subscribers using Hiren boot CD (done chkdsk as well - everything is OK), and then did a factory restore.
    No problem at all with the restoration.

    Started doing the updates for Win7; SP1 seems to install OK without errors.
    The system then picked up 37 Win7 updates automatically and asked to reset.
    Upon reboot, Win7 entered "drvload.exe" and started an auto repair.
    It took time and the system started OK, but without any sign of SP1, looks so much like system restore to an earlier point?

    I though this update to process 3 times now and each time after that a lot of auto update, the same sequence occurs.

    How to exit this loop? What is causing this problem, which I have never seen before?

    No software has been installed, other than that of the recovery process.
    I even uninstalled McAfee, just in case this could be a problem - no change.

    Ah, just took another look. It is stated in Win7 system registers that the restoration was caused by a corrupted file C:\ci.dll. Google to find it was a sign by a rootkit virus in the HARD Master Boot Record disk (the file ci.dll itself is NOT damaged). Found a fix tool

    http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684

    It identified the rootkit and removed.
    Seems to be OK now!

    Hope this post could help others.
    Of course, the factory restore does not erase the HDD MBR rootkit...

    Thanks for sharing!

    Windows Vista and 7 update Reboot Loop Fix

    Symptom: You have a update that is causing Windows Vista or Windows 7, stuck in an infinite loop. The problem usually manifests as a "step 3 of 3:0 % complete...". "followed by a restart which starts at the exact same message, not allowing you to get on your account of connection or a desktop at all. It's a pain, and he doesn't stop, even in Mode without failure or advanced trying last good known Configuration in the start menu.

    Here is the short version for people who know how to get to tools to do this and if run System Restore from the installation DVD does not work: DELETE files

    \Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.XML AND (as applicable)

    \Windows\WinSxS\pending.XML and the infinite loop update will be set.

    There are two ways to get the files, you need to delete. The easiest is to start your installation of Windows and the button 'Install now' DVD, click on the link located at the bottom left that says 'Repair your computer' open a command prompt and type:

    del C:\Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.xml

    del C:\Windows\WinSxS\pending.xml

    The other way is to download a live Linux distribution such as the System of Tritech Service (which, unlike Vista or 7 DVD, can be booted from a USB flash drive for computers with no CD/DVD drive such as netbooks), open a command prompt, mount the file system and deleting the files. Assuming that your Windows installation is the first partition on the first hard disk, the following commands in rxvt or a console in the Tritech Service system should work:

    Mount.NTFS - 3 g/dev/sda1/mnt/sda1

    RM /mnt/sda1/Windows/*/cleanup.xml /mnt/sda1/Windows/*/pending.xml

    umount/mnt/sda1

    discount to zero f

    Anyway you do it, this solution will stop the engine update loop reboot and let you return to your computer. You may need to make some corrections, additional or manual updates if you have problems, but unless your login screen and/or the Office should be accessible! Is a very annoying problem and I noticed that Google is looking for things like "stage of vista 3 3 restart" usually only provides information about how to run the system on a Vista DVD restore. Unfortunately, if there is a problem with an update, sometimes the system restore does not work and fail with obscure errors, so this info is vital.

    Maybe it's your last chance to avoid giving to the top and reinstalling Windows, and we always like avoiding relocations!

  • Mail stuck in the loop. Cannot access same Mail preferences!

    Hello to you all. Can anyone help? I'm trying to set up Mail (in lieu of Thunderbird) I want to use the possibilities of synchronizing with Mail on my other Apple devices. The title says it all, and I have attached a screenshot of what I see. Impossible to do anything, except to force them to leave cannot even open Mail preferences! I'm on iMac with El Capitan Version 10.11.3 Mail Version 9.2 (3112). Henry

    Hi Aitchb65,

    Thank you for your participation in the communities of Support from Apple.

    I see that the mail is stuck in a loop and the opening of many windows unexpectedly. Try to run Mail in 'safe mode' by following these steps:

    Open Mail and immediately hold down the SHIFT key until the Mail is opened. This causes the Mail to open without any message or box to the selected letters.

    Of Mail if closes unexpectedly when displaying certain messages.

    If the Mail normally opens, try to update your SMTP settings -Mail (El Capitan): list of outgoing mail server settings.

    You can also delete email accounts in Mail preferences and start over after export and save all important messages. To help in this part, see Mail (El Capitan): Configure Mail with your email accounts and Mail (El Capitan): import / export the mailboxes.

    Sincerely.
