• Message "preparation set up windows, do not turn off your computer" slept for hours. What can I do?

  After upgrading from microsoft and restart message appears

  Problem fixed, for now.  Was able to start in safe mode and did a restore.  Run Windows Update and all is well.  Don't know where the problem came because it is a branded PC after only 2 hours of use, and the only thing I downloaded outside the windows update is an update for Silverlight.

• Default configuration of the windows features. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer... HEEELLLPP!

  After restart my Asus X55oE due to necessary updates, I got «default configure features windows.» Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer. After reading several messages through other forums, I turned it and then turn again only to receive the same screen. Some of these forums say that it can take 2 hours or more because of so many updates made at the same time. I think I was trying to upgrade windows 8 for windows 8.1.

  I'm really worried about it just because I just got back this PC from ASUS and am needing to work. Can someone tell me if there are other options or make sure that it just take a while? I also read that you can actually go to the control panel > windows update > help to erase mistakes. Also, someone said that you can customize the number of updates at a time can be both. I certainly do not happen again. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

  Hi, I just refreshed my laptop that I got a few drops FPS at random. Initially, it worked fine, but after a while before instaled Norton started to cause me problems. At this time I uninstalled it and when he asked me to computer restatr now, I did. Now I'm stuck with this message window loading.
