Update configuration 3 of 3 loop

Configuration of update: stage 3 of 3% full. Do not turn off your computer.  Can't get out of this loop. Tried all that the security modes, but they come back to the loop. Tried to fix your computer, also without help. Didn't back up the disk to restart.  Any help?

Hello

1. How were you running Startup Repair?

2. do you have the installation media to perform the computer repair?

3. What is the brand and model of the computer?

4. what happens when you try to start in safe mode or other tasks? Do you have an error message?

5. were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

Start the computer to the last known good Configuration and see if it helps.

  • My computer is stuck in the loop "Update Configuration". Boots only in safe mode.

    My computer is stuck in the loop "Update Configuration". Boots only in safe mode. I tried to do a system restore, but an error message appears that says:

    To perform an offline system restore, you must specify which Windows installation you want to restore. For example, if the installation is in "C:\Windows:" should be restored, enter the following command: rstrui.exe/OFFLINE:C\Windows

    I typed in the "run" command, and it didn't work either. VIsta came installed on the computer, so I don't have a disc to insert and reboot with. Help, please!

  • Updates configuration error

    Installed upgrading Windows 7 from Vista and things cost very well the first day. The second day when I had enough, there were 20 updates important and 4 not if important, so I let it update and went. I forgot and came back the next day and the screensaver didn't work so I moved the mouse and set up the office and Windows Explorer was in a State of continuous failure / restart. I reboot and it tries to configure all of the updates and starts then a loop continues to failure to configure, and then restart. Pop in my installation disk and I use system restore to revert to the State I was in before the 24 updates. When done using the system, it was of course 24 updates, he wanted to install again, so I clicked on the install/off button and let it do it's thing. Returned the next night and turned on the computer and went into a loop again where it would fail on configure then try again and then finally to restart and it all over again. If this continues, I'll have to back up files that I want to keep and do a fresh install. Anyone knows what is the cause?

    I tried to install updates in smaller batches until I read your post and it did take! However, after a day that began to Windows Explorer, it is small market to stop and restart. At this point, I decided just to copy the files and what I needed on DVD and do a clean install of Windows 7. So far the only thing that I miss is the calendar which has been included in the work, as I did my training courses there. I didn't have a lot of programs installed on Vista, and I had to reinstall that a certain number of times. I got my antivirus disabled during the installation of 7, but I still wonder if she was causing a conflict after 7 has been installed. In any case, I appreciate your trying to help, but I think that the new installation is probably the best option. Take care!

    Update Windows stuck in a loop. Keeps trying to download page 3 of 3, but never does, then restarts and is trying to download. Can't stop the loop to try something else.

    I found this as a solution and to share it here, I still have questions, but thinking might help someone.

    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!

  • Blue screen continues after the recent Windows updates - Update configuration 3 of 3 0%

    original title: blue screen continues after the latest updates of Windows

    Last Thursday while I was at work, an automatic update downloaded on my computer.  When I got home, the blue screen has increased and said "update configuration".  3/3.  0%.  Do not turn off your computer.  Well, keep the computer restarts and the same screen appears.  Over and over again.  At least 40 times.  Finally, I turned the computer off and when I turned it on... I hit 'f-11' and performed a scan on everything and everything was ok.  Then I did a system restore point to before last week and he ran.  When the computer is started again, the same "update configuration" screen always shows!  How to do the work to turn back normally?

    I have a 503WM Compaq Presario with Windows Vista Home Premium, which has problems after a Windows updated today.  First of all, I have installed .NET Framework (3.5?).  Windows Update started and downloaded a few other updates, and then asked to restart my computer - on restart received the updates configuration message, but when you have to configure the updates: phase 2 of 3-100% full.  Do not turn off your computer, nothing happens--or my hard drive internal or external are doing something and Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing.  What should I do next?

    Before that, I installed Hallmark Card Studio 2010 Deluxe and received an error message 2738.  Followed the instructions on Microsoft to add two files that had to do with the VB script.  Hallmark installation instructions downloaded then installed .NET Framework 3.5.  The update of Windows has started and installed (I think) 4 critical updates.

    Hi Phil,

    Thank you for your update on the issue.

    1. Have you tried to connect your USB stick with all the USB ports on your system?
    2. You are able to install all Windows updates.

    As you have tried to choose the option always to install the best driver from Windows Update software already, I suggest once, click the radio button for Yes, this automatically (recommended), save changes and check if the problem persists.

    Also, I suggest you try to remove and reinstall all USB controllers and check with the question.

    1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
    3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
    5. Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

    Hi PatriciaHearn,

    Follow these steps:

    (a) access to the computer's BIOS by pressing the key that appears in the on-screen instructions.

    (b) once inside the updated BIOS optical drive (CD-ROM) as first boot device. Press "F10" to save the changes and exit the BIOS. Insert the Windows operating system disc in the optical drive. Restart the computer. The message "Press any key to boot from the CD" will appear later.

    (c) press "enter". Windows will start in the Setup of the CD. After the installation has loaded, boot into the Recovery Console by pressing 'R '. Recovery Console is displayed. You will be asked to choose the type of installation that you want to connect.

    (d) type the number next to the main Windows installation. Usually this is denoted by a number 1. Press '1', then press 'Enter'. If you have a password for the computer, you type after that "Enter the administrator password" will appear. Otherwise, simply press "Enter".

    (e) to the C:\ prompt, type the following: "CHKDSK/p" (without the quotes). This checks the drive for errors and correct the errors found. Then, type "FIXBOOT" (without the quotes) at the prompt to C:\. When the prompt "Are you sure you want to write a new boot sector?" appears, press "Enter".

    (f) type "Exit" (without the quotes) at the prompt C:\. If the drive has been marked as "dirty", a review of surface can be initiated during restart. The computer restarts in Windows. Don't forget to change the boot order to hard drive.

    Note: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
