Update loop

Help, please. I have vista and a windows automatic update is a loop. I am really computer illiterate. can someone explain to me what to do in easy words.

I don't have the original vista disc such that it has been preloaded on laptop when I got it.

I have 3 drives that I need to have copied when I got my laptop. the latter I called recovery of 1, 2 and FIPS appdrv 1. I don't know what they are for.

Help, please.

lilyg01,
Please give us some details about your problem.  You say you have 'an update loop' so what exactly do you mean by that?  Are you getting the same update presented whenever you start or it is actually trying to install an update every time that you start?  This error message do you receive?  What is the update you get?

If you are able to boot to your desktop, you can try this: reset Windows Update components

  • Win Vista update loop

    My computer is stuck on windows update 3 with a continuous loop. Computer not start in any safe mode or respond to restore the last known good configuation. Repair your computer will produce all the restore points. I tried to install the vista installation disc, but the computer seems to ignore the drive and return to the update loop 3. The screen with the endless loop will be turned on for a short period and then stop and restart and return to the same screen and windows update 3 loop. Nothing seems to work.

  • WIN8-update - loop

    I have a Sony VAIO, that I've recently returned to factory with Windows 8 as my operating system. (The story: I have problems with Win10 I could not resolve so I started on.) As expected, my computer began to go through a series of updates whenever I have it prompted to shutdown or restart. The last time that happened that he ran into a kind of 'Update loop'. It restarts and comes eventually to update blue screen where it says "configuring Windows updates", but he never went from 72 percent before it restarts the computer again. He did this for several hours now (exactly 7 hours). I can't seem to stop, and he has not moved beyond 72%.

    Things that I tried after reading several Microsoft supported the Articles/items:

    1. the startup in the BIOS using F-8, F-12, Maj, Maj + F-8, F-12

    2. stop the update process: by pressing the delete key, escape key, Shift + X, Windows key + X / C,.

    None of them have done anything... He keeps just reboot.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks for your replies MN. I managed to get out of the loop of reboot and will implement your suggestions that I update it.

  • Update loop under Vi of hand / run multiple Instances

    Hey everybody,

    If I want to keep my code as modular as possible so that I can see any sub or VI.

    One of the SUB vi is permanently offices incase another output is detected. I don't want to make this mark on the main level because I don't want a huge loop in my main.vi and you won't worry about sending shift register valuse to my Subvi for him to function.

    Essentially, I have designed this subroutine Vi and am now trying to constantly be driven from a main.vi

    This hand is simply.

    Cluster of entry--> Sub VI

    Void VI retains a loop waiting for a change request action. Unfortuantely when I change the vale in main.vi the avlues in Subvi don't update. I guess that makes sense, in C, for example when you call Returns you need to wait until the end of the function call to update. Yet, as Labview is so strongly focused on taking SUB vi to do almost everything for you, I can't imagine labview is not able to update these values. I looked around and the answer seems to be global variables. I really don't want to use the because my application will become very big, but I'll use them if I need to.

    Unforunately, when I tried to use my global variable thing, it didn't work.

    1. global Var = Cluster

    2. it's in the Subvi both the main VI.

    3. when I run my code the global variable is not up-to-date on both front sides when I change one of them. I'm doing something wrong?

    A few comments.

    • You have not included the global variable
    • If you want to run multiple instances of the Subvi in parallel, it must be reentrant.
    • As the Subvi is interactive, it must be configured to display the front panel when it is called, otherwise there is no way to stop it ever.
    • All your time loops needed little expects. They have no need to turn as fast as the CPU allows, all other processes of hunger.
    • "Go to under control" is extremely complex and crawling with weird stuff like an ant farm.
      • The shift register must be initialized to avoid surprises (but you probably don't have it all)
      • Your loop runs one time too many.
      • Avoid the stress points, such as the structure of the case.
      • You can replace this whole thing with for example a table of threshold, no need to loop. (see image below).

    Good luck!

    I had a similar problem. (Please note that English is not my native language - neither is my OS)

    Used part of the method 3 (see below) in the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358/en ... .and tried many times. Tips that have helped me:

    1. press F8 n several times in respect of the computer starts to enter a screen giving a "Repair" option at the top. (often F8 just gave your ability to start windows "errorsafe" mode). Use the repair option and the prompt from there.
    2. to access c: write simply ENTER c: (your problem with x :) - then write cd windows\winsxs
    3. I could not find the subkeys Remove in step 9 - so I did not (I gues HLKM is short for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ).
    4. HAVE patience - the first time you restart, you will see the "configuration updates stage 3 of 3." 0% complete"again - BUT it goes away after awhile and you get your desktop computer.
    5. I got some default Windows updates - so after the operation, I've updated from Windows Update - and then I lost my hopes again after restarting the "Configuring updates step 3 of 3. 0% complete"is here once again - but only for a while. Now, I can restart without coming once again (at least the two times I just tried).

    I hope that it helps you to :-)

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

    1. In the System Recovery Options page, click command prompt .
    2. Type cd C:\windows\winsxs, and then press ENTER.
    3. Type ren pending.xml pending.old, and then press ENTER.
    4. Type regedit and press ENTER.
    5. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE .
    6. On the file menu, click load the hive .
    7. Look for the following folder:
      C:\windows\system32\config\components
    8. When you are prompted for a name, type Offline_Components.
    9. In the registry editor, find and delete the following registry subkey:
      HLKM\Offline Components\AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
      HKLM\Offline Components\PendingXmlIdentifier

    Exit the registry editor :

    1. At the command prompt, type exit to quit the registry editor.
    2. Press ENTER.
    3. Click restart .

  • Configuration update loop - new

    I have s similar or the same problem that happened before on this forum, however the answers have not solved the problem. I can re - start the computer by using comments presuppose that I can connect to the computer from safe mode. I can't. It just goes back on the same loop. I tried the last known good configuration and that brings me to the loop immediately. In April, I noticed the same problem of a user. The Guy didn't come back to report on the success or not of the solution. I tried all the suggestions, but I can't get out of the loop and in any form of safe mode. F8 F2 & F11 give me the guests who in turn put me straight to square.
    How do to this problem and find the correct computer?
    Thanks in advance.

    I would recommend a repair Installation, because you can't get into your computer.
    If this does not work, you will need to perform a new installation.

    Repair facility:

    You can reinstall your copy of Vista while keeping your files, settings and programs by performing a repair install or an upgrade on the spot with the following steps: (Note: this does not always solve all the problems, especially if the corruption was caused by a 3rd party program or service, you may need to do a clean install) If this is not successful)

    <><><><><><><><><><><><>

    1. Insert the Windows installation disc in your computer's DVD or CD drive. You must start Windows installation while running your existing version of Windows.

    2. on the Install Windows page, click install now.

    3. on the get updates for installation page, we recommend getting the latest updates to help ensure a successful installation and to help protect your computer against security threats. You will need an Internet connection to get the installation updates.

    4. on the Type your product key for activation , we strongly recommend that you type your 25-character product key in order to avoid problems during activation.

    6. to the which type of installation you want? page, click upgrade to begin the upgrade. You can see a compatibility report.

    7 follow the instructions.

    Note : If your installation disc doesn't include SP1, and you are updated, then you must uninstall it before proceeding with an update install. Start-> Control Panel-> programs-> see installed updates, then select Service Pack for Microsoft Windows and click on Uninstall.

    Note: Tit the following settings is reset by default:

    Its computer system

    Device drivers

    Visual effects

    Windows services

    If you notice missing files after the upgrade, look in the following folders:

    C:\Windows.old

    C:\$WINDOWS.~Q

    These files can be eliminated with disk cleanup as "records destroyed by upgrade to Windows".

  • Stuck in the update loop

    Recently I have got stuck in a loop of update of Vista, to do an update, in which he will update 3/3 0%, then stop start etc. I was able to fix and restore to an earlier point using my recovery disc and repair mode.

    Here's my question, how can I avoid this in the future while still making updates. This has happened a few times that I've corrected by removing the updates, I thought that may have caused the problem, and then on the day that the above problem happened.  Now I have a large number of updates, is there a way to fix this problem or am I rimmed? I do each update one by one, if it sticks back and remove it? Seems like a lot of work to keep it up to date.

    I could simply ignore the updates but that seems silly. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    It will take a little time to do it:

    Here's how to uninstall an update (or make your system restore), change your settings to find the problem of those who and how to hide an update.
    There is no easy way to do it, unfortunately:

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

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

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

    > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

    When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

    > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

    See you soon.
