Update Windows stuck at 0%, now, windows is no longer enabled. Legal copy. Help!

I have a laptop I bought in 2008 with Windows Vista 64 installed. The product key is valid (and I can prove it if necessary). Laptop has been with SP1 or no service pack. I updated to Service Pack 2, when it came out. Then because I was annoyed with windows constantly wanting to install updates, I temporarily turned off their. 

Fast forward a few months and I decide to brand new update. I chose to install approximately 60 of the 80 updates (I don't have Office updates because that my laptop has only a trial edition that I do not). After the updates are selected and I click to download, the download indicator remains at 0% forever. It seems that no update is downloaded, so I cancel the update.

To solve this I finally see suggestions for a Microsoft program with no descriptive name 'Fix it '. The link is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

I run this program and reboot. It turns out that the downloaded "0%" message for the updates really indicate 45 updates were downloaded enough for windows to try to install during this restart. Computer hangs for more than an hour at 25% of the finished 1. Hard reboot and windows tries to part 2. Windows complete parts 2 and 3, restarts automatically and goes then 2 1/2 hours break updates and reboot.

This process ends, I connect to windows and have an error message saying that windows is activated now more. Enter the product key on the bottom of my computer does not work.

What now?

    My version of Windows is enabled is no more, and even more annoyingly, because the key has already been activated Windows refuses to accept the current key!

    Now, Windows tells me I have the rest of today to activate... I gave in after that system restore has failed so that it starts every time and used R + R4 and tried to "restore to the factory. Which failed.

    That may have to do with the fact that I created my restore disks... However, I can not really on for about another week and a half restore disks, these are my holidays.

    I desperately need to keep my system intact, it is my lifeline. I live on an isolated island and this is my only form of communication with everyone, as being the main thing that I use for work or school.

    Update Windows stuck in a loop. Keeps trying to download page 3 of 3, but never does, then restarts and is trying to download. Can't stop the loop to try something else.

    The operating system is Windows Vista.

    I found this as a solution and to share it here, I still have questions, but thinking might help someone.

    Windows Vista and 7 update Reboot Loop Fix

    Symptom: You have a update that is causing Windows Vista or Windows 7, stuck in an infinite loop. The problem usually manifests as a "step 3 of 3:0 % complete...". "followed by a restart which starts at the exact same message, not allowing you to get on your account of connection or a desktop at all. It's a pain, and he doesn't stop, even in Mode without failure or advanced trying last good known Configuration in the start menu.

    Here is the short version for people who know how to get to tools to do this and if run System Restore from the installation DVD does not work: DELETE files

    \Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.XML AND (as applicable)

    \Windows\WinSxS\pending.XML and the infinite loop update will be set.

    There are two ways to get the files, you need to delete. The easiest is to start your installation of Windows and the button 'Install now' DVD, click on the link located at the bottom left that says 'Repair your computer' open a command prompt and type:

    del C:\Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.xml

    del C:\Windows\WinSxS\pending.xml

    The other way is to download a live Linux distribution such as the System of Tritech Service (which, unlike Vista or 7 DVD, can be booted from a USB flash drive for computers with no CD/DVD drive such as netbooks), open a command prompt, mount the file system and deleting the files. Assuming that your Windows installation is the first partition on the first hard disk, the following commands in rxvt or a console in the Tritech Service system should work:

    Mount.NTFS - 3 g/dev/sda1/mnt/sda1

    RM /mnt/sda1/Windows/*/cleanup.xml /mnt/sda1/Windows/*/pending.xml

    umount/mnt/sda1

    discount to zero f

    Anyway you do it, this solution will stop the engine update loop reboot and let you return to your computer. You may need to make some corrections, additional or manual updates if you have problems, but unless your login screen and/or the Office should be accessible! Is a very annoying problem and I noticed that Google is looking for things like "stage of vista 3 3 restart" usually only provides information about how to run the system on a Vista DVD restore. Unfortunately, if there is a problem with an update, sometimes the system restore does not work and fail with obscure errors, so this info is vital.

    Maybe it's your last chance to avoid giving to the top and reinstalling Windows, and we always like avoiding relocations!

  • Update Windows on Windows 7 does not, download now, not working do not at all

    I had not installed the latest updates of windows in a few months (since this summer I think). I had about 50 available updates. When I tried to download selective or otherwise, the download bar would be stuck at 0%. I waited for hours and still nothing. I had not had problems to install the updates before, and it is impossible to know if I was doing something in the months that have 'broken' the update, it is for some time.

    I checked online for solutions. I downloaded and installed two updates that said to help manually (KB3138612 and KB3145739), I installed an update to update windows (?) and the convenience store update windows. I will virus scans regularly is not the issue.

    Now the troubleshooting tool was hit or miss, almost always give me an error that I'm not even sure it is the same thing each time, the last one I got is 0 x 80070057. Once he said it had corrected all the mistakes, but then update windows still didn't quite work. I ran scannow command in the command prompt to check for errors, he found. At some point even the convenience store would not be executed, and I could only get working again with a system restore, so now the steps in the installation of these "helper" updates and new Windows Update Installer are null. I'm guessing there is a specific order, you can do these things, to try to solve the problem should not make things worse.

    Currently, the Windows Update doesn't show updates and when I told him to check the updates he analyzes just forever. What panic me, it's now I am also unable to check the updates, Miss me and I'll even be able to have a way to do it manually. A guide step by step you would know so I make things worse while trying to fix again. Thank you.

    Now to get a Windows security alert
    Windows Firewall has blocked some features of this program.
    Name: Firefox
    Publisher: Mozilla Corporation

    There are updates Windows 7 and an update of definition of MSE.

    When I started the computer 25/02/15 the Windows security alert appeared.

    I have not allowed access to Windows Security Alert window.

    Why this security alert Windows has been published?

    The Windows security alert is the only issue.
    Firefox works normally. He never does not.
    I have internet access on my private network.

    I use Classic theme restaurateur.
    What's interesting after clicking on menu + customize, I moved the icon Hello in the box additional tools and features.

    When updating to 36.0 FF
    Hello icon brought itself automatically.

    I just clicked Cancel on the dialog box and the Windows security alert went away.
    Everything that Firefox still seems to work fine.

  • How to replace "apply downloaded update now" with "Check for Updates" in the menu help when the update fails because the downloaded update files are missing but the "Ready to install update" window keeps appearing?

    Question

    I have another type of problem with Firefox

    Description

    Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?

    Version of Firefox

    3.6.3

    Operating system

    Windows XP

    User Agent

    • Version 1.0.3 copyright 1996-2009 The VideoLAN Teamhttp: / /www.videolan.org/

    You can manually reset the software update feature by closing Firefox and remove the file "updates" (which seems you have done) and the two files "active - update.xml" and "updates.xml" - these are in the installation (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) directory or in the profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default).

    If it does not, see our KB article How to resolve the failure of the update of Firefox update error message - the section of 'last resort' can be useful, or or read this article from MozillaZine KB, software update.

    Please let us know how the above work, and if we can be of further assistance.

  • Update Windows xp caused my computer blue screen and now will not start.

    Update Windows xp caused my computer blue screen and now will not start.  There has been no change to my system hardware or software otherwise.  After that windows update Setup, he asked to restart the computer.  When restarted, the computer screens and past blue to the quick menu for safe mode and last known configuration to work.  None of these mode of work, not to shelter or otherwise.  The only thing that he will now implementing market is quickly flashing the blue screen and restart once again to this quick menu.

    It's really annoying because I have important files on this computer work and can't afford to get in shape!   I put my confidence in using windows and keep it updated.   During the installation of your updates, it made my system fails and does not restart.   I'll be very upset if this update of windows xp causes me to have to reformat and lose important files!

    Any advice on a solution?   I need to get this computer work as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Ben River

    I ordered the Dell XP disc and did the re-install. It works fine now. The Dell technical support had me do some updates on the web as well. I have not had problems since. What happened with the automatic updates completely wiped out my operating system. At least I don't have to buy a new computer.

    If nothing else works, try reinstalling your operating system. It worked for me.

  • Update Windows, stuck at step 3 of 3, does not start

    Hello

    Reading the forums, so it seems I'm not the only one who had this problem, but none of the data seems to work for me.

    My computer is running slow this morning (as sometimes when he treats a large update), so I restarted.  But now, whenever the system tries to start, it gets insofar as the message 'configuration updated step 3 of 3, 0% ' before it restarts in total.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium - I think that it is 32-bit, but I'm not positive.  I have a laptop HP Pavilion DV6345us.

    I tried all suggested fixes, I found.  I tried to launch the Mode without failure (all versions of it), but every time it's the same thing.  I've never had to simplified office, I think I'm supposed to see.  I tried the system restore, but none of the dozen or so restoration work points.  After each attempt to restore the system, I get this error message: data error (Cyclic Redundancy Check) (0 x 80070017).

    My last update was added on 06/05/10 at 09:16:38.  My last update before that was 05/03/10 at 14:31:18.  My time zone is set to GMT - 8:00 (or Pacific time).  Between the Windows updates, I downloaded an update for Java (Java 6 update 20) 04/05/10.

    I have also run the memory diagnostic tool, but that has not changed anything.

    I do not have any third-party malware or anti-virus software.

    This is all the relevant information, I think I can give.  Any comments would be greatly appreciated, because I use my computer for work and need again as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Thank you!

    I do not have any third-party malware or anti-virus software.

    Not good.

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!
