• Windows Update crashes when installing patches

  Hello

  I have a problem with Windows Update on my computer Windows Vista 25 Nov. November 25, Windows Update told me of new updates and I chose the option to install the fix and the stop in the night and the system has been blocked to install update 3 of 5 for all night and then I had to turn off the system and remove the battery and restart the system. When I checked the view update history after the restart, he says that it has properly installed patches. Then, I have the same problem that Windows update crashes at installation of update 1 x and does not go further.

  Updates installed on 25 Nov:

  Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB973688)
  Update for Windows Vista (KB976470)
  Update for Windows Vista (KB976470)
  Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB973688)
  Update definition for Microsoft Security Essentials - KB972696 (definition of 1.71.222.0)

  Updates currently Hung on the system:
  Update for Windows Vista (KB976098)

  I don't see the error messages and shows Windows Update just "Installing Update 1 of 2.

  I checked to restore the system to the restore point before the Windows Update November 25, but the restore point is missing on my system.

  Kindly help me to solve the problems

  Thank you & best regards

  Sirot,
  It sounds as if there is something in the way of installation.  First of all, make sure that your system is free of malware\virus infections.  This thread has some great information on this topic: getting rid of malware.   If you do not find infections or even the question after removing them and then perform a clean boot , and then run updates.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  Hey Janeynflorida

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

• Configuring updates stage 3 of 3 0% complete problems

  Configuring updates stage 3 of 3 0% complete...
  apparently a lot of people have the same problems.  Are tired of looking for the forums to help you, so far without success.  I did the following steps:
  in the middle of the loop of reboot, F8 and tired safe mood ... no luck
  F8 last good known Configuration ... no luck
  Virtually all F8 sections... no luck
  I did finally have access to my office using the startup disk and did a system past recovery.  However two days after I stop my computer and when I started it again once I had the same problem again.  Again made the boot disk and I noticed the windows update icon in the lower right and he strove for 11%, and I can not any respones on that in law or by clicking on the left.  I'm sure that if I reboot this system its going back in the loop of udated.

  P.S. I have the same problem on another laptop I have

  Hi esprad,

  First of all, let us rename the Pending.xml file and check if it works very well.

  Use the system recovery options to rename the Pending.xml file and edit the registry:

  Start Windows Vista and go to system recovery options:

  Insert the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then restart the computer.

  When you are prompted to restart from the disc, press any key.

  When you are prompted, configure the language to install, time and currency format and keyboard or options for method of entry that you want, and then click Next.

  In the page install Windows, click on repair your computer.

  In the System Recovery Options page, click the version of the Windows Vista operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

  In the System Recovery Options page, click command prompt.

  Type cd C:\windows\winsxs, and then press ENTER.

  Type ren pending.xml pending.old, and then press ENTER.

  Type regedit and press ENTER.

  Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

  On the file menu, click on load the hive.

  Look for the following folder:

  C:\windows\system32\config\components

  When you are prompted for a name, type Offline_Components.

  In the registry editor, locate and then delete the following registry

  subkey:

  HLKM\Offline Components\AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving

  HKLM\Offline Components\PendingXmlIdentifier

  Exit the Registry Editor:

  At the command prompt, type exit to quit the registry editor.

  Press ENTER.

  Click on restart.
  WARNING:

  Alternatively, you can follow the underside of article that speaks to rename the Pending.xml file:

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk

  Hello there,
  I desperately need help... I don't want to have to reload Vista Home Premium and all my software and get all authenticated (which total galley is the procedure!) once again. I installed the latest Java today from Java.com and everything seems to work very well. Latyer on I started the installer of my software to sync Western Digital and after that I said which files to sync to my removable drive from the hung computer. I thought that after 1/2 hour It sinply would not go anywhere, so I used Ctrl-alt-del to cancel then restarted and Western digital software.

  Now my computer is going in circles. It goes like this:

  -power on
  -beep system
  -Microsoft animation line starts
  -screen goes black
  -Orb appears
  -"Curtain" screen comes on saying:

  Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete
  Do not turn off your computer

  -system reboots

  And it just happens again and again and again. He never at my office. I tried starting with the last start of 'good', safe

  mode and I went to my vista cd and made routine repairs, but all without success.

  Can it be fixed without having to do a major resettlement me?

  Thanks for your help.

• Windows/Microsoft Update crashes, takes all the CPU can't be fixed by all the recommendations I found

  Windows XP, SP3, it worked fine. Suddenly Windows/Microsoft Update crashes and uses all the CPU while trying to assess what needs to be updated. The only way to stop him is to kill the process.

  A ran Fixit from Microsoft (support.microsoft.com/kb949104), who said that he repaired the window update, but could not fix "problems installing the recent updates. Nothing else was not fixed.

  If I look at the properties of the de...\System32\wuaueng.dll I have the most recent version for XP (7.6.7600.256).

  I know that the support for XP will end this year, but I want to Microsoft Update to work down there.

  Any help appreciated. Thank you

  You are welcome.

  How about that.  Don't you love it when a plan comes together?  Windows updates only or material for pilots also and then update windows is good, but for a more broad ability of other applications Microsoft, then Microsoft Update and Office update is good for a shopping for updates of every Microsoft product you have.

  You suppose wrongly, and I thought I answered this before.  Technically, you can re-enable the automatic updates but that will require you disabling updates every Monday just before black Tuesday and then manually download and install the cumulative security update newly released and restart before you activate the updates automatic (or notifications only) once more.  It is more reliable just disable automatic updates and do not have the headache.  Disable the horse of notification that is displayed in the status bar, and that you don't mind.

  Please mark this thread as a response.  Thank you.

  To not argue the point, but XP users required the kind of brilliant 'support' who gave XP since the time of the IE7 to IE8 'false upgrade' users XP need like a hole in the head.

  This exit Windows updates on (after you have access) and stop the updates of the driver to load.

• OS Vista - configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete. Do not turn off your computer.

  My laptop ACER Aspire 5610 in a loop of update configuration for three days now.  Don't have a Vista installation CD as provider did the installation.  Have tried all the safe mode restarts without success.  The display is still in phase 3 of 3 endless loop.  Ideas to fix/repair or recover data from disk hard 160 GB I need to keep?

  I want to thank everyone for friendly advice and assistance information.  After a few days (of frustration for me) and your continuous encouragement, I have finally overcome this "infinite loop".

  What worked for me was downloading neosmart.net for work properly CD/DVD burner.  I tried initially using my office old CD drive, but I forgot that it was a device to read-only and wouldn't be able to burn a copy of the restore CD.  I found a DVD burner work to correctly copy download neosmart.net.

  It took several boots cold on the laptop with the recovery CD as well as access 'shift F6', then quickly by "any key" for the necessary recovery menu.

  On Google, I noticed that this "configuration updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete." has been on Vista for 2008.  It is almost of 2012 and it always creates problems?

  America happy Thanksgiving!

• locked "Configuring updates stage 3 of 3 0% complete".

  More about recent updates to Vista, my laptop is blocked "Configuring updates stage 3 of 3 0% complete. I tried to restart in 'safe mode' but this doesn't seem to work. Any help please. Not too technical if you please

• Update fails with the message "configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0% complete. Do not turn off your computer "

  Before closing my lap top, I did 8 automatic windows updates. The next day I had turned on the lap top and other 3 automatic updates had started to download, but when configuring the update a prompt indicates "configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0% complete. Do not turn off your computer ". A few moments later, the laptop restarts and then returns to "configuration updates stage 3 of 3 0% complete. Do not turn off your computer "and restarts again, this continues each time. I'm unable to advance in the journal on stage. Can you help me?
