Update Windows 7 locked cannot start in safe mode

Compaq CQ2815EA under Windows 7 Home Premium desktop PC

Windows 7 Home premium is stuck on 'install the updates do not power off or unplug your machine'.

I tried the boot safe mode but F8 does not work. PC starts just return to the screen of Windows Update.

I tried full power and restart. Again, goes back to the Windows Update screen.

Tried to use HP and Windows Rescue Disk recovery disks, but had no success with them as I don't know which of these menu options to use.

Hello

Try the following.

Boot from the hot spare.  Select repair.

Select the "Repair your computer" option and follow Option 2 in the guide here to run the Windows system restore.

Kind regards

  • My 8 victory... infected with the virus cannot start in safe mode...

    recently, my computer of windows 8 has a virus... (miss click an ad pop up and it's on the computer)

    I already got Malewarebytes Anti Maleware and installed AVG, but this virus that bypassed and infected my computer. I tried the standard F8 during startup to go into safe mode and run my anti virus scanners, but apparently it does not work in windows 8. Some say SHIFT F8, that does not work either. Also any other method of setting up safe menu starting boot or mode does not work as it should connect on the desktop to go threw the settings and activate it for the next boot upward. This does not work for me since the virus I have apprently made my fall display driver, after I get my user password to start the desktop computer, so I don't see anything but the pointer of the mouse, everything is black. Y at - it another way to start in safe mode or trigger a recovery system or restore without actually being on the desktop?

    Why windows might change?

    I already ordered a recovery disk as that seemed to be my only option. But the works of windows 8 way I will NEVER buy a computer with it again. Cannot start in safe mode and can't do the simplest task without being a great test. It's crazy. I thought that windows 8 was supposed to be simple and easy to use!

    Please reset your PC. The procedure is given in the link below:

    If this does not help, recovery of the system to the factory settings. Consult the following document:

  • After Malware that my login is disabled cannot start in safe mode

    Hi if anyone can help.

    A friend tried to watch movies online, I'm not sure of the site they visited, but were asked to install MacKeeper and I believe that they did, as I noticed it was to download and installed the following day and I asked them why they did this and they said it was the only way to watch movies!

    Anyway to cut a long story short my friend then called me to say they received a "pop" window to say that my computer has a virus and call a number of 1800... I told them to do nothing certainly not call the number and I would like to sort.

    So basically since then that then I can not connect to my main account at the start, the section where you type your password won't let me type into it and there is a symbol of the brand of 'question' next to it. If I hold my mouse over the question mark I get a dialog box stating "Please enter your password to iCloud as... as well as the date. I can only login as a guest and I cannot connect in 'safe' mode by holding down the SHIFT key.

    I deleted the MacKeeper Application (and also another OS player application that is newly installed the same day!) and empty the memory cache of my browsers and also now upgraded to 10.11.6

    I also run disk utilities, but still I'm getting this problem trying to connect to my main user account!

    I think that it is some kind of malware, does anyone have ideas how to solve at least the connection problem?

    If I could stamp out to see if there is any malware stuff going on behind the scenes it would be too great!

    All suggestions welcome.

    Thanks, Ciaran

    How did you uninstall the MacKeeper application? Please be as specific as possible, unless you have followed the steps, I suspect that your system has installed to uninstall. If this is the case then you will need to re-install and uninstall immediately by following the instructions of developers. Otherwise, the best thing to do is to do a wipe and installing OS X and then manually install your applications and restore your data from your Time Machine backup.

    I'm sure you probably learned to not let this 'friend' enter the 100' of your computer.

  • XP SP3 update causes computer to only start in safe mode

    My daughter had XP IE8 running on his computer, site update Windows XP SP3 download.  I downloaded and installed, however it won't start in safe mode. When I remove SP3, the computer loads normally.  I then uninstalled IE8 (went back to IE6), made sure I had the pre-requistes, followed the steps as outline on the microsoft site, downloaded SP3 again and installed.  It will only re-start in safe mode.  I tried everything, no matter what I do, XP SP3 causes the computer to restart in safe mode only. I'm totally frustrated. Can someone help me?

    What is the origin of XP SP3 only start in SafeMode anfter installation? What can I do to fix this?

    Continuous restarts or can only to Safe Mode boot after installing WinXP SP3?

    See: http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesper/archive/2008/05/08/does-your-amd-based-computer-boot-after-installing-xp-sp3.aspx

    [NB: the above has been updated several times and now includes "a small tool that allows to detect the problem IntelPPM and mitigate before installing (WinXP SP3)".]

    Possible workaround: boot safe mode and rename INTELPMM. SYS to INTELPMM. OLD.

  • Cannot start in safe mode

    I am new to this forum and have probably been posted in the wrong place. I have 3 computers with xp (2 with oem Dell). A computer would lock at black screen but would go in safe mode, then it would not go into safe mode, then the second computer did the same thing.  I tried restoring the system on the first computer before it would not start in safe mode that didn't work. The second computer is locked then it would not run even in safe mode. I can start with a 3rd party disk and view readers but cannot run virus programs... I don't have a disc that allows to repair xp because the 2 I have xp only installs to the original installation and I lose all my files and programs. If someone could help it would be appreciated.

    Hello MDD1234,

    I would recommend running chkdsk from your startup disk.

    The syntax should be as follows:

    CHKDSK C: /F

    Let us know the results.

  • Windows xp does not start in safe mode how to

    Computer says windows did not start successfully and does not start in safe mode, will not restart, do not go back to the last known good configuration

    When you choose to start safe mode, which is the last thing you see on the screen?

    When you arrive at the menu of Boot Options Advanced F8, you need to choose in this menu, the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

    If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

    If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

    You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

    If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

    http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

    If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

    Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

    You won't get past step 1 of KB307654 or install the Recovery Console or do a repair install without a real XP bootable installation CD that matches your currently installed Service Pack (very unlikely).

    You have a real installation CD bootable XP that corresponds to your currently installed Service Pack?

    A suggestion: as stated above, I thought I was wrong this posted in the Windows 7 Forum.  In fact, the link under XP for updates takes you to the Forum Windows 7 > Windows Update.  It seems that it would be less confusing, if questions update go to a forum, out of Windows 7 and Windows Update as a stand-alone speaker.

    Thank you for all your help,

  • PC Windows 7 does not start in safe mode after current updates

    I have a HP pavilion dv8t-I7-windows edition laptop home premium.  After a few updates auto windows, my pc would no longer start - got 'configure the custom for windows update desktop setting.    I got the pc in safe mode and did a restore and pc worked fine.  However windows last night did automatic updates again, and this morning same problem was back.  However, this system time freezes everything trying to load all the drivers for safe mode - then now I can't do a restore.  I noticed when I saw that windows wanted to restart for the new updates that half of the updates were for windows 10 House - I don't even have 10 windows on my laptop.  Very frustrating that these 10 updates windows could be the cause of my pc becomes unusable.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    My apologies for the late reply.

    I suggest you to fix your PC using a windows 7 installation media.

    1. Boot from the Windows 7 disc.
    2. Once you select your language, time settings and keyboard, click Next to load the next window, and then click repair your computer on the lower left corner of the window.
    3. You should then be presented with a screen to choose an Option , with Troubleshooting as an option to select.
    4. In Troubleshooting screen, select Advanced options.
    5. Select startup repair in the Advanced options screen, and then select the operating system to repair, target, which would be Windows 7 in this case.

    Kind regards

  • Lost start menu / no. icons on bottom / cannot start in safe mode / can not use windows fix option

    After a restart of my computer I have more a start menu bar or icons on my background.  Things seem to work ok most of the time, but my pc hangs on the blue screen more than before.

    I tried to reset my computer to a previous point of reset but my help and support option does not work and when I use the option in the advanced start-up splash screen it appears that it nothing happens because I find myself with the same State of no start bar or the desktop icons.

    I also tried to start my computer in safe mode, but it hangs and never completes the operation.

    My computer came with an installation disk ever because he has been on a hidden HD (Dell 9200) partition but I can't access it because during startup, it hangs at the same place as my safe mode option blocks so I can't use the windows fix option.

    Can anyone think of anything I can do to fix this?  I got it to work by removing the file Explorer in my window of Task Manager running it again, but this seems to be a symptom of a larger problem because I get the blue screen.

    It is up to you and if you want to wait. You still need a hard disk physically viable well. Maybe you want to just wait and then break the RAID 0, treat readers as being separate and test with the diagnostic utility before installing Win7. You do a clean install anyway.

    I'm really happy with Win7. Just make sure you have the drivers for it. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Windows 7 is just starting in safe mode

    Hello

    Since yesterday, can I start only my operating system (windows 7) in safe mode. I tried to restore the startupfiles with the recovery dvd of windows, but I get the message that there is nothing wrong with the startupfiles. Then I took a glance to msconfig to see if 'safe mode' has been selected, but this isn't the case. I check the hard disk for defects, but also, this is not the case.

    I also try to install a previous backup of the bus system with no result.

    So now my question is, how can I solve this problem?
    Is the only way to reinstall windows 7? And if yes, how do I do that? The key to windows only I have is that in the back of my laptop, and insofar as I have now, it is a key to an OEM version?

    Thanks in advance,
    Sven

    Hello

    I've never had such a problem, so I put t have concrete advice to help you.
    You can test is to roll back the OS a few days back to see if the problem will be resolved.

    Start OS in safe mode and open system restore options. Do back up OS available back sometime and check if this will fix this strange problem.

    By the way: since when have you noticed this?
    You might have installed some Windows updates?

  • My Windows XP does not start, including safe mode

    Hi, I have a computer dell laptop with windows XP Home Edition. Is not start even in safe mode. In safe mode, it crashes after loading file isapnp.sys driver display. In other modes, it displays a white screen. I tried to replace the file sys of the installation CD but no use. I have run the command chkdsk from the recovery console, but no use. I tried to repair the xp using the installation CD. He did copy the game files and restarted after copying. But no use and crashes at the same files isapnp.sys. No error is displayed. Please help me.

    ISAPNP.sys is normally the last pilot of the group "reserved to the system", then xp loads 'boot bus extender' group. Some viruses may have injected a pilot belonging to this group: If your antivirus caught it or something strange has happened, your xp should hang at this moment.

    You have to work offline (with a live cd such as ubcd4win or mounting your hard drive on a pc, not as one bootable of course), check if there is something strange in windows\system32\drivers, for example a .sys 0 KB long file with an unusual name, then find his name in the registry (it might have a weird registry entry too)

    Take care to do a backup (export to a reg file) before you delete these entries. In addition, this type of virus usually load something else, at least as autorun (e.g. under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run), so you have to check the registry for other suspicious entries in known locations (and/or do a scan with antivirus update offline)

    These are some advanced "s maneuver", so if you do not feel comfortable and do not understand the question better if you request technical support.

    Good luck

  • Firefox does not, as soon as I open the window solutions, may NOT START in safe MODE?

    Recently, I accidentally begain download some unwanted addons - but I cancelled the download before being finished and quickly removed the programs by uninstalling program files issues. Firefox worked pretty well at the time, but later he started to become less sensitive. I did some cleaning (clear the cache, etc.) and done a virus scan. Has not made a difference.
    Eventually he started to get like some that I open a firefox browser - becomes inadmissible. The first two times, disconnection and reconnection to my connection int fixed. But now is not working and even after uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, it is inadmissible. I should have the version 6.0.2
    Finally, there is no way I can run firefox in SafeMode because as soon as I open the browser it is inadmissible, which means that I can not even access toolbars.

    -> Close Firefox

    • Click the Firefox button, and then click exit
    • NOW press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC keys to open the--> Task Manager process tab-> click right firefox.exe and click end process tree -> close the Task Manager

    -> Start Firefox in Mode safe by holding down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox

    • As alternative method, use the Win + R key combination and enter one of the following values in the box run Windows:

      • Firefox-safe-mode
      • "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"-safe-mode
      • "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla"-safe-mode

    -> Safe mode of Firefox window will appear-> don't SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click continue in Safe Mode

    Check and tell if its work while you use Firefox Mode without failure.
