Downloaded PC one generated automatically by Microsoft Update. Before loading the new software, the PC off when the battery is low. After plugging the power cord into the socket, I turned it back on and it began to run the update. After reaching 15% of the update, the system showed no progress.

It has been like this for almost 2 hours. What should I do?

  • Satellite P10-304 - update Windows 7 problem

    I have a Satellite P10 304 to 2003 which has Windows XP, but I need to update for obvious reasons. I bought a copy of Windows 7 (32 bit) and installed without any installation problem, however I can't update Windows.

    I reinstalled, deleted the hard drive and reinstalled again. Tried the stop and start the Windows Update utility.
    Downloaded the stand-alone Windows Update.

    Updated the BIOS to V2.0 and downloaded the Toshiba Service Station application (who says no update is necessary).
    All this without success.

    My hopes were raised when I saw that the Station Service for Windows 7 32 bit software was available for the P10 304 but I am now at a loss.

    Anyone know if this laptop can be upgraded to Windows 7 and how to get updates of work?

    Help is welcome.

    Peter

    I'm sure that installation of Windows 7 update problems are not specific to Toshiba problems even if you use the Toshiba laptop.

    From my point of few, you should check the Microsoft support pages to find the solution.
    For example this:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/w...#1TC=Windows-7

    Just a tip: I had some problems in the past to install updates because of the antirust software. He locked the installation of some essential updates and after you disable temporal, updates could be installed...
    Missing Service Packs might concern the single installation of patches.

  • Updates Windows 7 does not download

    Hi all

    I have Windows 7-64 bit version and I normally have updates of Windows set to warn me when there are new updates, but do not install them - let me decide.

    I see 21 updates and now it is stuck on just that. I even set to automatically install updates, restarted the computer and tried this again once and no dice... part of these updates is my Windows Defender, which I use for anti virus, so I would really like to get it working again.

    Does anyone have an idea on what is current, or does not, as is the case? Thanks in advance... Oh, by the way, the green part of this bar is moving from one side to the other... so he said to me that he is not locked.

  • Windows 8 locked out.

    Started the Acer laptop but just missed seeing a notice on the first screen - login screen says app prevented the closing down and the computer is locked.

    As I thought I had a virus I pressed the power button and the screen is blank but the laptop is not stopped. I checked the internet on my desk and found that it is a common problem with Win 8.

    I've updated Windows Essentials the previous night.

    I tried to insert a recovery USB flash drive - nothing happens.

    Help!

    That the message is probably not a virus - it is very common for a prevention program stops.  By example, if you have even just a Notepad file open and waiting for you to decide if you want to save it or not, it is likely to block the closure.

    Depriving of electricity directly in now the power button is also very bad and can damage the system.  Use it only as an absolute last resort.

    Regarding the current situation, can you let me know what happens now, when you try to turn on your computer?  Message/error/problem do you see?

  • Firefox runs very slowly after updating Windows 10

    Saturday, December 12, 10 Windows spent an age of update itself, with several reboots. Since then, the navigation is horribly slow with Firefox, although my internet connection is always very well (fast my Smartphone using Microsoft Edge). I have two PCs, and both seem to have been affected in the same way. Using the Task Manager, I see that Firefox uses a lot of CPU most of the time - often more than 50%. Even typing and scrolling are very slow, not just downloading.
    I disabled all my add-ins and plug-ins, run in safe mode, rebooted and reinstalled Firefox without result. So far, I'd say that Firefox is the fastest browser. I think that Firefox updated itself 42.0 version a few days, so I have a suspect that this slowdown has occurred just after a Windows Update.

    Update: Windows update itself again today and, like magic, Firefox is again well. So problem solved.

  • I've updated Windows 8.0 Windows 8.1, since Firefox run a bit oddly. In particular, when on the sites with lots of images like Facebook, etc.

    Hello, I am writing because I have a few problems with my favorite browser after update to 8.1 Windows. Here are some details. I've updated Windows 8.0 Windows 8.1, since Firefox run a bit oddly. In particular, when on sites with lots of images like Facebook. It's as if there is some sort of effect of Flikr between the office and the images, as well as between the images and the browser (a bit like old flikering of 16-bit video games). It's not too bad, but it's a question. I tried to reset firefox and restart the computer. I have not tried a repair, and I haven't done an uninstall.

    Hello, disable hardware acceleration in firefox should a restart of the application is taken into account. have you tried that too?

  • After the 24 Firefox update, Windows 7 64-bit breaks on reboot. The network in the taskbar icon is not ready (blue circle stopped).

    After 24 of Firefox update, Windows 7 breaks after the reboot. The network in the taskbar icon is not ready (blue circle on the wireless network icon). But I can't do much. I can't open the network and sharing Center (never opened). Even the Task Manager hangs when I click to show processes from all users. I have to do a system restore for a network working again. I never even launched Firefox.

    Wow... I finally have the solution. Windows updates have been applied at the same time I updated Firefox. Bluetooth driver is what broke (which is part of the Centrino wireless). I ended up installing the latest driver from Intel, Windows Update, and then update Firefox... and all is well.

    I thank very you much for all your help. Take care.

  • Can I update windows 10 on Sprout?

    If I update windows 10, can I also use sprout function? (Scan, projector, sprout apps, etc.).
    No probpem?

    I agree with ray1204 on this: HP must assess and update or do say us that it is impossible.

    I have not run Windows 10 on Sprout; However, I've been running on a laptop, and I've done it since the Insider program began.  I'm now up to build 10130.  I would not risk running Windows 10 on Sprout, so if someone else did, I'm interested.

    Windows 10 previews in stability and utilization have improved, but the user interface is different in Windows 8.  Windows 8 has a desk and a splash screen that seem quite distinct.  Windows 10 looks like a desktop and applications, the functions file, etc. appear on a screen separated when you click on the Windows button.  Which is kinda the same, but now modern applications and heritage applications all play together.  The store and the browser are new and very different, etc.

    Shoot, we all discovered, is his own strange beast.  The use of the desktop screen and start with the germination environment is quite strange.  Manual of the developer makes more mysterious, in my opinion.

    I think that HP has got to do some work on Windows 10 and probably change Sprout.  Which may not happen until the release of the "final" Windows 10.

    Patience is my suggestion.

  • Firefox beta 9, coming continuous update window, click on update, but it nevers connects to the server, the link 'click here for more information' is dead.

    I go about Firefox and click on the updates button control the browser downloads the update, I restart Firefox and behind the browser window is a window that says: it is strongly recommended that update Firefox. It is also a link to get more information about this update. The link is not responding, so I click on 'Next' and connect to the server and it never connects. I let it run all night and it connects. I get this window even after that I updated to Firefox. How can I do that, go away? Is this a legitimate Update window or something try to redirect to a malicious site?

    In fact, the window just jumped upward once again, as I was typing this message.

    If there are problems with the implementation at day then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to remove all remaining files.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox if possible and delete the folder of Firefox beta program to remove all remaining files.

    • Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.
