Start the computer upgrade to Windows 10 without my permission

I am running Windows 7 and do NOT want to upgrade to Windows 10.   I get these notices and must have clicked on something to upgrade.  Now, the only options I get are to update now, or reschedule for another time.  If the computer is off, it will start the upgrade as soon as it turns on.  There is no possibility of do not upgrade.

What can I do to cancel?

Okie-dokie...

  • Screen BACK up when you start the computer by using Windows XP

    I did a reinstall of my OS to Windows XP.  Now, every time I turn on the computer, or restart, I get the following message appears on a black screen (BACK):

    (I use the quotes to the messages from the computer).

    "Choose the operating system to start".

    "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" (this option is highlighted)

    "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" (repeated).

    "Use the top and down arrow keys to move the selection of your choice."

    "Press ENTER to choose."

    "Seconds until highlighted choice will begin automatically."  (There's a digital countdown to 25 to zero... and the computer continues normally)

    "For advanced troubleshooting startup options and for Windows, press F8."

    If I press the key "enter", with the first option highlighted, the computer will resume as usual.  But I've never met this before start screen.

    How can I get the computer to restart normally without stopping on this screen?

    Thank you very much for your help!

  • "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer" error during the upgrade of Vista in Windows XP

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1505, that is running Windows XP Media Center Sp3. I'm doing a place in upgrading to Vista since the disks to upgrade Dell... Everything's fine until the 'Expansion of the files' [27%], then the installation fails with this message: "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot continue. Any changes made to your computer during the upgrade". I did a google search for a fix that involves changing a value in the registry in the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E976-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} for example change the value to PartMgr Upperfilters. Unfortunately, this value was the default for my registry key changes could be made. Some other fixes involved the renaming of Upperfilter.bak, for Upperfilters unfortunately this .bak value does not exist in my registry.

    I tried to boot from the disk of Vista and changing the msconfig for a selective startup but without result.

    In addition, the stall even appears at a similar point when you try to upgrade to Windows 7. Is it because of the presence of hidden Media Direct and Dell restore partitions? Compatibility Assistant programs for the two operating systems found nothing significant. Anti virus has been disabled during the installation procedure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

     

    Hello

    Not quite, but pretty close. Media Direct could not lock the boot sector. It must be a BIOS lock or a mechanism of protection provided by your antivirus software.  Given that, I would check your program settings then for all that prevents changes to the boot sector. You may find more easy just uninstall it and reinstall it after the upgrade. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

  • How can I get rid of a 'sidebar' (an additional site without on the left of the screen) that is still there after restarting Firefox and even cold, start the computer?

    I opened a Web site of the library without specifying "in a new tab. I expected to crush the existing active tab. Instead, he opened in a demi-fenetre on the left, without tab and without all the icons "Min/Max/Close. I can not close it even by restarting Firefox or stop and start the computer. He now appears on each screen in Firefox with each tab. I note the address of the site to be replaced, but the offending site is https://servicing.capitalone.com/c1/login.aspx.

    There is an 'X' in the top right of the sidebar.
    You can replace it with a different sidebar; Therefore, you can use "Ctrl + B" to bring up the sidebar bookmarks, use "Ctrl + B" once more to turn it took off.

    Click on the star to bookmark to bring up the bookmark, in the lower left corner, if you see the following, uncheck the box.

    [X] load this bookmark in the sidebar.

    You can right click a bookmark to display the bookmark properties, uncheck the "load this bookmark in the sidebar".

    In the sidebar

    1. Right-click to bring up the Page Info
    2. Triple - click the url
    3. use "Ctrl + B" to bring up the Bookmarks Sidebar
    4. Paste the url in search, then right click on the found object to bring up the bookmark properties

    In the list of Favorites library there is unfortunately no column in the list of library of favorites for this feature, but you can click on the bookmark and properties will be displayed on the box under the same information, if you see a drop-down list "gone" click to view the list of properties.

    If you want to see the extent that you have these bookmarks you export our bookmarks in bookmarks.html file and then view the source and use of find for WEB_PANEL = "true" - I have the extension 'Search all', so I can see how many times the string occurs and where.

    It has a turbulent history, it is useful as a reference column, but it was destroyed in Firefox 3, after use in a link, use, restoration of use later but not keyworded bookmarks and not places links both where it makes sense to break. Remained at does not not for keywords because they wanted to destroy the mot-cle--Word key lost for a year in the beta version of Firefox 3. Now, it must be eliminated because few people (can) use it (properly), but they will make this inaccessible box first - someone ' else see the additional error with that.

    original title: same problem with the other oddities.

    I also have a computer down the update.  Although I tried several times to start the computer from the installation CD re, when I get to the page where I have options to fix or exit, locks from my computer to the top and will go no further.  Suggestions how to get the computer to boot the CD and allow me to choose the repair option without locking up?  Thank you!

    I finally managed to get the reinstallation CD to load.  I also spoke with telephone tech support at Microsoft who helped me to descend KB977165 my system.  After that was removed the computer booted without error.  By MS tech, I am also running the anti-virals and malicious programs to see if they detect all the other infections.

    Originally, the CD would load to the point of being able to choose between the options: continue to fix or exit.  At this point, the computer froze upwards and would not all repairs in order to remove KB977165.  Microsoft launches a call again tomorrow in order to install safety free bug so far.

    Hello


    Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
    Method 1:
    You can try to start the fix - it and check. Check out the following link.
    The problem with Microsoft Windows Update is not working
    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/
     
    Method 2:
     
    You can read the following article.
    Cannot install updates in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2
    Note: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. How to back up and restore the registry in Windows:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

    Note: If bad sectors are detected when running check disk utility and attempt recovery of bad sectors is verified during the verification of the drive for errors, data in the bad sector can be lost as they tried to recover bad sectors.

    Method 3:

    I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.


    Important: When performing analysis on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when parsing tent repair this sector if all available on which data can be lost.

  • cannot start the computer without disconnecting the graphics card

    I'm having a strange problem.

    Recently my computer has started doing something funny.  If I choose restart, or stop and start the computer too fast, it does not start.  He posts about 3 times then won't start.  If I unplug the graphic card and let the beep from the motherboard error on the code, and then close it, plug it back and it starts.  It's really weird and I don't know where to start troubleshooting.

    Here are my system specs:

    OS: Vista 64

    Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz (4CPU), "2.4 GHz

    Motherboard: Biostar T-Power I45

    Graphics card: NVidia GE Force 9800 GX2

    Any help would be great because I just had to reinstall windows, and there restart every time I install a program, and with this error it takes me about 10 minutes to start again.

    Thank you!

    The thread is old now, but it is for those who always have this problem.

    When I got the error, I cancelled and restarted the machine. I pressed the 'option' button when starting upwards and he grew the boot partitions. You should see a 'EFI Boot' partition. Choose that and you restart the installation process, but this time it works.

    Supposedly the boot EFI and WinInstall partition should do the same thing. Manually, select one or the other.
