Update Windows 7 has weighed

Microsoft has eliminated an update to Windows 7 on my computer. He has worked for the last 6 hours and is hung on the update 3 of 20.

Microsoft says that power must not be interrupted during this process. I'm not an expert in computer systems, so I'm ignorant of what should be done, if anything. Leave to continue to operate? I turned off the computer and hope and pray that the system is not corrupted in the process? Why is Microsoft doing this to computer owners who do not have endless hours of time to deal with their problems?

More information: apparently the update of Microsoft Windows has again last night on my computer although I left him and in Active mode. The update seems to have thru this time rebooted the computer and the screen showed a normal appearance this morning. There is no error message, just a notice that the update occurred.

I left pretty well alone at this point and hope and pray that the problems are solved.

Thanks again for the help.

  • Try to update windows - (8007000D - has no error code) stops windows completely updated. Fixes for this error code?

    I tried to completely update of windows, but the 8007000D error code keeps causing the update fails. The update is for - Cumulative Update for Media Center for Windows Vista (KB982480). Could you be it someone please let me know if there are patches to get rid of this error, or get the update to pass by? Thank you!

    Hello

    You are able to install some other updates?

    I suggest you follow these methods and check.

    Method 1: Run the fixit.

    The problem with Microsoft Windows Update is not working:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/   

    Method 2: Run the clean boot and install the updates.

    To do this, follow the steps in this link:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    NOTE: After you check the clean boot feature configure Windows to use a Normal startup using step 7 proposed in the above mentioned link.

    If the method above does not work, proceed to the next method.

    Method 3: download and install the Cumulative update for Media Center for Windows Vista (KB982480) from this link.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=6256

    If the method above does not work, proceed to the next method.

    Method 4: Rename the Software Distribution folder.

    Rename the temporary Windows Update Software Distribution folder. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an administrative command prompt window.
    2. Run the following commands and press ENTER after each command:
      1. Net stop wuauserv
      2. CD %SystemRoot%\System32
      3. Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
      4. Net start wuauserv
    3. Try to install updates again.

    Important: When you use this method, the following problems occur:

    ·         Updates that are currently downloaded but which have not yet been installed must be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.

    ·         When you remove the Software Distribution folder, your download history is deleted.

    ·         If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and Windows Update, you will need to reselect this option from the Windows Update Web site.

    Note If the problem is resolved and you can successfully download and install the updates, you can safely remove the SoftwareDistribution.old folder to recover disk space.

    I hope this helps!

    Update of Crititcal title: original Windows 7/15/1010

    When I closed my computer last night, the computer indicated that an update critical would be complete installation on closing down.  This morning after my computer (with Windows 7) has been turned on, I found a lot of programs assists or reset to original settings (means that all previous information/data alleys) where I have to configure all settings.  It's as if it was a new computer where I have to install my security, games, configure Outlook Office, etc. !!!   I raised my system retore and it showed my last checkpoint was the critical update!  There is no other control point!   Has anyone else had this problem with this last update?  I feel I have to do everything from scratch.

    Hi Krakenlord,

    -You have several user accounts on your computer?

    Step 1

    If you have several user account make sure you have loged in your user account profile and check if you can see the files.

    Step 2

    Start the computer in safe mode and check if you can see the files and program and post the result. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

    Access the link to learn more about how to start the computer in safe mode:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 3

    I would say also allows you to perform a system of restore from safe mode to check if you have any other old restore points, and if you can restore the computer to an earlier date where you had all the files on the computer and see if you can get it back.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    4. click on finish.

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    Access the link below to learn more about how to repair the operating system and how torestore configuring operatingsystem to a point in time earlier in Windows:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore

    Step 4

    I also suggest you to access the folder of the user on your C drive and check for any other user account. If you find any other user account tries to access the folder of the user account and check if you can find the missing files in the folder of user account and post back the result.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the result.

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. (No, Symantec Support never say this.) See if the following solves your problems:

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of the 2010 version of your Norton application, using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

    8 test cycle.

    NB: Your Norton application can disable Windows Defender by default.

  • Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working". It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error code just a constant circle. This has happened for days. I am running windows 7.

    Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working".  It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error, just a constant circle of shutdown and startup code.  This has happened for days.  I am running windows 7.

    I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.

    We will cover all the possibilities.

    1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:

    Norton Removal Tool: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    5. Repeat step #4 for another removal tool.

    Tips:

    -Online use another computer to download the removal tool, if necessary, then transfer it to the computer via CD, DVD, or a USB brand new, never been used (flash drive), or a summer freshly updated in shape.

    -Online start the problem in Mode safe computer, if necessary, proceed as above.

    -Online after completing all of the above, uninstall AVG Free & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.
