Updates downloaded stop windows start

Saturday night, I went to the office and allowed Windows download and install the latest updates. Now when I try to restart I get the screen "Windows Error - a recent recovery hardware or software change might be the cause" are two options "(recommended) launch startup repair or star Windows normally. None of these options work. A screen says Windows is loading files then the Packard Bell screen lights up and that's it.
I am told the only answer one is a complete reinstallation of Vista with the loss of all my data. Someone at - it advice as to what I can do to fix this?

This used to be possible and works very well in previous versions.

    How can I prevent the automatic download of Windows 10?  I have the Home Edition of Windows 7 that works very well.  I tried the update of Windows 10 twice and it does not recognize my CD/DVD drive.  I started Windows 7 and that you want to keep it this way, but Windows keeps trying to automatically download Windows 10.  I changed my Windows Update setting to notify me when there are updates but do not download or install.  I think that would stop it, but it didn't.  Can someone help me?  My PC is seven years old.  Windows 10 works fine on my laptop and my wife's office, but they are only 2 years old.

    Nothing wrong with the help of Windows 7.

    The fact that the CD was not recognized win 10 could be just a matter of making a Nick registration, but no less...

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

    Kind regards
    Amal-Microsoft Support.

    I installed the latest IE, but I keep getting a notice to download whenever I start.  How can I stop it?

    Hello Buster Funch,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

    First of all, you can try to check what version of Internet Explorer is installed on your computer.

    To determine the version of Internet Explorer, click on about Internet Explorer on the Help menu or press Alt + H and then press A.

    If you are repeatedly prompted to download and install the Windows Internet Explorer update, I suggest that you try to check if Internet Explorer is installed correctly. See this article for more information on this:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-should-I-do-if-Internet-Explorer-8-doesn ' t-install properly

    You can try to reset the Internet Explorer security settings by running the Fix - it suggested in the article.

    If nothing works, then try to uninstall Internet Explorer and try to install it once more. Here is an article that will give you steps how to uninstall Internet Explorer 8:

  • where windows update download files to install?

    I have Windows Update set to automatically download files to install, but not to install actually automatically as it never fails he made them while I'm in the middle of an online game and I'm kicked out the game to restart.

    But I am running Windows XP Professional (a Win 7 deleted) which is 32-bit.  Windows Update downloaded IE 8 but it's raw processor; I think that x 82 or x 86.   Since it has not been installed I can not go to the control panel to delete must be found so I can remove it and get rid of the darn yellow exclamation point and pop-up window telling me I have downloads waiting for installation.

    Windows Update keeps trying to install the following:

    This update is not necessary for the monitor to run.

    To hide an update in Windows XP, just go to the Windows Update site and uncheck the update and click on the + sign next to it. At the bottom of the explanation expanded the update the checkbox to hide this update become active and can be selected, thus masking the update.

    Then, you need to remove the update from the temporary folder:

    Stop the automatic updates service

    In the run box, type services.msc.
    Click OK.
    Right-click the automatic updates service.

  • Update interrupted - now cannot start Windows

    Hello

    Completely new to this forum and in the world of the system recovery / technical questions will therefore be very grateful for any help that you can offer but please keep clear answers.

    I am running windows 7 on a Samsung laptop about 3 years. During the last weeks I had problems with the battery. When not plugged in the laptop sometimes turned off and the error messages pops up saying occasionally replace the battery. I now only use it plugged into the mains. However, yesterday, when I tried to stop, windows installed updates and the wall socket, broke off. To my horror, the computer turns off so that the update (1 of 31).

    Now, I can't start windows. See below what I tried so far without success.

    Tried to load Windows normally. Key start-up windows screen and then error blue screen and restarts.

    Tried to select recovery at startup option. Through repair screens. Asked if I would restore the system to an earlier era. Tried by selecting Yes and no at this point. So yes, message says not able to repair and asks if I want to send an error message. In the absence, said also unable to repair.

    Tried to start in safe mode. As above - will from the screen windows and error, then blue and restarts.

    Tried to insert the Samsung recovery cd. When the computer starts. Press the key to load from cd. This goes to a windows install page (select language, etc.). Seems to be saying that if I do that I'll lose files?  So not go one more away.

    Have you tried pressing f8 and repair different, but process as well as above - unable to repair.

    I myself am kicking to not fix the battery problem, but I never thought it would happen. In any case, I have a recent backup of most of the files, so not a total disaster, but I would like to save some recent if possible files. The only other option I see is to remove the hard drive and buy a USB connector stada (?) and try to transfer as an external drive. How difficult is cela and what connector do I need? Understand you can not recommend a product, but is there something specific I should look for, and what are the differences between the cheapest and most expensive? Are there more reliable / brands of higher quality that I should look for? Also, if I do this, can I then replace the hard drive and reinstall windows, and it's going to work?

    I have no knowledge of the BIOS so not sure I can try relating to the recovery of base?

    Will be very grateful if someone could help it. I can post more detailed error codes / logs later when I'm in front of a computer if you need.

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and your efforts to resolve the issue is highly appreciated.

    According to the description of the problem, you cannot start your Windows 7 computer. This could be if there is a corruption of system files or boot files are missing or damaged.

    I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start the recovery Windows (WINRE) environment . To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927392

    Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

    Kind regards

    Hi Nathalie,.

    Thanks for the reply and the link to the article. I appreciate it. While I was not having trouble to download updates, it was one of the update of the files froze during installation. I had gel resulting set before your answer.

    I'm not sure what I did to fix it, but the installed annoying file itself. Here are the steps I took to learn that annoying file has been installed:

    "I restarted my computer.

    "then stop it showed that he was trying to install the file again

    "I hit the reset button on my machine.

    "My machine is restarted, I received the message that my machine was not correctly stop and choose Safe mode or start normally.

    "I chose boot normally.

    "Somewhere during the start-up, something installed or flashed a message

    "My system automatically restarted by itself.

    "On my screen, my computer displays a message saying it was set up my system.

    'My computer restarted again

    "Back to my login screen, I had a repeat of the previous message from my computer's configuration.

    "After that over, I arrived at my office

    "I've manually run Windows Update

    "After Windows Update, I checked the files available, disabled the original file in question and click the button install.

    "These files correctly installed and gave a message requesting to restart."

    "I rebooted my system manually.

    "Back in my office, I manually tried to install the file in question.

    "It gave me a message that it was already installed.

    How he installed himself is a mystery. Other than on the first attempt to update my machine, it has NEVER included in my another attempt to update. Anyway, my machine is purring along as if nothing had happened.

    You can mark my question.

    Thanks for your help,

    Hi Keith,

    The activation for more server CS2 is no longer in service. For this reason, we did a version of these titles of software available that doesn't require activation. This is for users who already buy the software.  For more details and specific links for the software, please see the following link:

  • How to stop Windows Update to take keyboard focus, when you are asked "do you want to restart now?

    Windows Update often wants to restart the computer after an update.  If you say "not now" (or ignore?), he will later pop up a question "reboot now?" in a bubble of task bar.  INCREDIBLY, it will at that time take keyboard focus of everything that happens and then accept what he gets as a response from the user.  This means that if the user was in the middle of typing something, the following sequence of keys will enter the bubble "you want to restart" instead of some request the user was in the middle of the help.  It's very bad.

    Here is what just happened to me.  I was in the middle of typing a document when the keyboard focus was suddenly taken by the issue of recovery, a fraction of a second later, the following combination of keys, he disappeared - I have no idea what hit it.  Fortunately, I saw the flash and guess what had happened and quickly you press 'save' on my request.  A few seconds later, my application has been closed as the machine restarted.

    I think that the bubble of Windows Update SHOULD NOT STEAL the KEYBOARD FOCUS.  I think it's dangerous and bad design.

    What is the best way to communicate this suggestion to the team of Windows Update?

    Is there a setting to stop Windows Update to do this?  (Stop stealing keyboard focus)

    I use Vista Home Premium

    I'm looking for a Microsoft solution for the specific problem I described, and/or advice on where post for better attention to Microsoft to "design problem".

    None of us are obstruction you. If we knew a way to avoid this problem (problem), we would have mentioned it earlier in this thread.

    You aren't the first person to complain about this and I'm sure you won't be the last. According to Microsoft, you have two options:

    1 use an automatic updates setting other Automatic (for example, download updates but let me choose whether to install them). or...

    2. turn off the automatic updates and get your updates manually (which I don't recommend).
