Unable to start - blocked Windows updates to install updates

original title: I can not connect after restarting my computer during updates. Help, please

I have a Sony Vaio laptop running windows Vista (2008). It came pre loaded so I don't have an installation disc.

I was in the middle of a huge update (windows defender, IE ect.) and my computer restarted before finishing. Now, my computer is blocked in the saying of mode of update "Installing Step 3 of 3 updates" but it never gets past that point. I tried to start in safe mode, safe mode with development network, at the command prompt, but each of them just restart the computer all over again.
Please help me. I'm so stuck.

Hi Landkammer,

I suggest you to follow the steps in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article below and check if it helps.

The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the computer restarts when you try to install an update in Windows Vista and Windows 7

  • Unable to boot after Windows update

    Hello

    As is strives to update windows today, I wasn't expecting to lock up my computer, but now I am facing blue screen of death at every start. The Startup Repair tool is not help... So for now, the only option I see is to reformat my C drive?

    It was really unexpected, that I was a bit installing optional updates in windows (mainly the drivers I think for the fingerprint reader, graphics...) when my pc crashed. I hope to recover some of the files on my desktop before reformatting.

    So I don't expect too much help here because I can do basically anything that even the startup repair does not work. But I wonder, is there some windows updates that are to be avoided? I'd only like to know this only screwed to the top of my pc. I'm runnign the w520 on windows 7btw.

    Thank you!!
