  • 'Check' updates from Windows Update is stuck after that I have reset my laptop

    I refreshed and reset my laptop but it will always get stuck 'Check updates' and everything works so slow... than ever before.
    Is this a problem with my hard drive?

    OloberSaiko

    Sorry, but your reset laptop reset Windows Update.

    I recently had to do this in one of my PC and it took three days complete (!) for the Windows Update process finish.  One day find updates, one day to download and one day to apply.

    To add to the frustration, during downloads, progress 'freeze' to zero percent!

    So, I had it got stuck - but she didn't - and this is important!  Go to C:\Windows\Distribution.  If there are files and folders, Windows Update works, it is simply not updated status information.

    You can check that from time to time, and while its download yet, he will continue to grow.  As long as there are files and folders there DO NOT shut down your PC!  This will force again when you reboot.

    Sorry... but you just have to leave it on and it will run its course.

    Good luck

  • Windows Update, stuck to malicious Removal Tool KB890830

    When new updates to date is now available on Windows Update today, I selected all the and installed.  Everything went well until the malicious removal tool (KB890830).  Just stuck there for 20 minutes, so I decided finally hit Cancel and restarted my computer (to apply the updates installed successfully).  After windows restarted, the malicious removal tool appeared on the list of Windows Update to update applied successfully, each after he (list of display compatibility IE KB982664) appeared as cancelled.

    It is not the first time that this problem happened to me.  (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/a33315c8-68c0-43cb-945c-7f00e6c071f2/#27e2ccbf-090f-4e66-8d12-043a03176cb3).  The last time, he was also stuck on the malicious removal tool.  I have already run the MS fix to reset my Windows Update (the aggressive option).   Why it still occur?

    I opened C:\WINDOWS\Debug\MRT. TXT and scrolls at the end of the file and I saw the following entry at the time of the day.

    Microsoft Windows malicious software removal tool [version month year]
    Started the [day month day hour year]

    I am running Vista SP2.

    Anti-Malware: MSE, SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes Anti Malware.  No Norton anti-virus and deleted using their customer products removal tool from McAfee.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    The last time, he was also stuck on the malicious removal tool.  I have already run the MS fix to reset my Windows Update (the aggressive option).   Why it still occur?

    In your original thread (14 Jul-10 & ff), we learned that:

    1. you did a facility own shortly before installing MSE. and this...

    2. While you have uninstalled the reinstalled McAfee-free trial, you did not download/run the McAfee Consumer products removal tool before installing MSE.

    Well I had you then run the tool, reset Internet Explorer and reset Windows Update by running the KB970158 Fix It in default & aggressive modes, I know not how long you had run MSE until we have done all that it is a slight chance that the steps you took resolve not behavior. That being said...

    QUESTION: Do you have all the other updates released August 10-10 install successfully? [Yes/No]

    ACTIONS:

    1. download the Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT), save it to your desktop: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356

    2. temporarily disable all S * PERAntiSpyware real-time protection & b MBAM (but only if it is the paid version) & ZoneAlarm (c) (if it is always installed), and THEN select Windows Firewall. [1]

    3. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above (e.g., windows-kb890830 - v3.10.exe) and run a quick scan. Do not TOUCH the computer until the end of the race (wait at least 30 minutes).

    4. assuming that the quick scan under #3 went well, now run a full scan. Yet once, do not TOUCH the computer until the end of the race (may take an hour or more).

    [Comment: when you download/run the MSRT tool as part of the installation of updates, analysis will take much longer time (vs. manual execution) that your system a little "tied" by the automatic updates and the entire update process does not complete until after the MSRT tool has run.] In short, be a lot more patient next time.]

    5. now open the journal (C:\WINDOWS\Debug\MRT. (TXT) & go downstairs. Highlight the last two 2 inputs (e.g., the results of the scans that you did in #3 & #4 above) & copy it to the Clipboard.

    6. open a response to my post & paste the contents of the Clipboard in your answer and your answer to the above QUESTION.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    [1] with MSE installed, real-time protections included in S * PERAntiSpyware or the paid version of MBAM and ZoneAlarm (any version) may be "overkill" for your computer. In other words, the protection in real time of the MSE anti-virus & antispyware components could be hampered by the real-time protection included with other applications. Food for thought, anyway.

  • Windows Update stuck on Prepaing to install...

    I upgraded my computer to Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 32-bit and after completing the process of leveling I noticed that Windows Update has executed and display 70 + updates, but none had been installed. I restarted the computer, Windows Update ran again and again he scored 70 + updates, but whenever I tried to install them, he would be stuck on preparing to install...

    By the process of elimination, I was able to install all the updates except the one. The culprit is "Update for Windows 7 (KB2347290) security". I can't get my system to load this update. Whenever I select what he just stuck to the preparation of the installation...

    I tried a clean boot and that did not help.

    Ideas?

    I solved the problem. I went to the link for the update security and follow links to the real download where I chose and installed correctly. It uses an interface of different installation of Windows Update then maybe it was the turn.

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    I guess that part of the question could be a driver which is really old or similar should not be loaded.

  • Windows Update problem! Now it is stuck in a reboot loop!

    I have Windows Vista on a Dell Latitude D620. Today I did a
    Download of updates and it went through the shutdown procedure and restart the computer. Now it is stuck on "Configuring Updates - part 3 of 3 0 0% complete.". There is disk activity, then it restarts, only to return to the exact same page.

    I tried every safe mode, last known good config, etc., but as soon as it starts it goes to this screen. I can't get to a prompt... nada... It comes
    driving me crazy. Even the guy I talked to at Dell do not know which increased or how to fix it.

    Help, please?

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your falls into the above category: download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    There is not a disk of resettlement.

  • CPU ankles 95-99% stuck on svchost.exe after that Windows update Nov 12 patches to not install

    Automatic update of Windows was put on 'On' on the morning of November 13, 2013, when I received the notice of Microsoft system tray that updates of Windows patches were ready to be installed on my computer (XP sp3, IE8, MSE).

    Updates proceeds to installation with the updated bars before the normal close.

    Updates is apparently blocked at the first update. I let it run for about 15 minutes before I made a hard stop. I thought that maybe I had lost to the Internet because the update seemed stuck on the first and took too much time, it seemed.

    Next start, computer slows almost stopped after a few minutes.

    Guilty is svchost.exe SYSTEM alternating between 95 and 99% of my system resources. I turn it off and computer returned to normal.

    Has done research on the web, stop automatic updates and processor svchost problem disappeared, unless I went to Microsoft updates and svchost.exe Web page re - would seem to consume almost all of the CPU resources while bars update Microsoft constantly scanned my system for the latest upgrades necessary.

    Spending a day to try various fixes posted on the internet. A Microsoft Fixit said that he there had errors in the update and fixed all but one saying registration number was bad (said he couldn't fix that). Despite everything, still the same problem.

    On the same day, an error was unable to update the definitions of virus on MSE, but for some reason, the next day (14) updated crossed.

    Update: some progress: I leave svchost cogitate on the webpage update from Ms. After about 1/2 hour, the updated hotfix list showed. I tried to install it, but not updates managed to install. I am currently re - try, as suggested on the Web page.

    Also tried the command "net stop" method mentioned in several places, as a tool of Malewarebytes Anti-Root running. Nothing.

    Tried the fix for IE8 security as suggested, nothing.

    Tried system restore, but I must have something wrongly configured with it because it was not able to restore any earlier date, I took. Bad luck.

    Never had a big problem with my set-up in all the years I've been running XP sp3, until now.

    Next thing I'll try is Park on the side of Windows Update for an hour or two, with the idea that maybe my processor is in need of more time to digest something.

    I see that others have had this problem, but not necessarily with patch release on November 12.

    UPDATE: some progress, perhaps. 1/2 hour parked page update of Windows, with SVChost churning away, and I got a list of patches. I tried to install, but all of them failed to install. I try a re - install, as suggested.

    Let me propose a summary of how to fix the MSE / Windows Update problem and the svchost problem:

    1st thing to do is to disable the automatic updates window. This will keep your computer against svchost.exe freeze for now.

    2nd, follow the instructions in Xircal to check that you have "BITS" listed in your list of "services". Correct it if not.

    3rd, IE remove it from your list of programs, and then reinstall it, making your first update of the IE rollup, as suggested previously.

    That he "should" do and you can activate the automatic updates on svchost.exe should return to normal. Proceed with the update of Windows and MSE as usual.

  • Windows Update stuck at 'Check updates'

    Original title: Windows Update stuck

    I had to recover my laptop windows 7 back to out-of-box state system. Once presented to my office, I immediately went to Windows Update to install all of the updates that I needed. After installing SP1, and restart the computer, windows update to update the update agent, so he could get some more updates. He said he would close and re - open Windows Update, which she did, but now it is stuck on "check updates".

    The update that broke the update of Windows was "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320"

    I have since made a recovery of the system to the State out-of-box three times and each time "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320" installs Windows Update is stuck saying "check updates".

    I did tons of attempts to solve this problem, but it won't find more updates and I can't install more updates.

    I have also experienced problems with Windows Update still looking for updates when Windows Update 7.6.7600.320 has been installed automatically after the system update to SP1 (it was after doing a clean install of Windows 7).

    The following worked for me:

    1. manually installing KB3083710

    2. manually installing KB3102810

    3. restart the computer

    4. run the Windows Update Diagnostic tool to reset Windows Update (support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058)

    5 restart the computer again and search for updates
