Updates to Windows 8 - "Configuration of the Windows updates, changes in restoration failure"

Hello

Recently I finally got my laptop back from repairs after 6 weeks. Now, it is in a 'clean' State (aka factory settins).

I wanted to get to 8.1 Windows as soon as possible, but for this I need to be on the latest version of Windows 8.

So I then try to run "Windows Update" and let it install all updates recommended. He manages to download all updates,

and then he tries to configure these. About 98% or 99%, it gives the following message:

'Configuration of the Windows updates, changes back failure'

It then goes in an infinite loop constantly, he ran for hours and hours without having passed this screen.

So far, the only solution is to reset it to factory settings, which brings me to the point before that I try to update, so it is not move me.

I've tried so far, but no luck what follows:

  • http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

None of them has worked so far.

To be clear:

It is an OEM license. This doesn't mean no DISC, nor any ISO/Exe could work that they do not accept the product key.

Many other people have the same problem.

Please, I'm at a loss to date.

Yours Sincerely,

Hi all

Seems that I myself have found a potential workaround.

Install only the KB2871389 allowed me to grab the download of Windows the Windows store 8.1.

Then, I could install Windows 8.1 without a hitch and it normally seems using Windows Updater runs from there on.

It is not yet a waterproof solution to water / final of 100%, but it seems to work for me.

I hope this will help someone else with the same problem!

Yours Sincerely,

Leon

  • I'm getting 'Failure Configuring Windows Updates, changes of restoration' by updating windows.

    It was the first time that I am trying to update my laptop of Lenovo G500s which is come with 8 windows pre installed, before installing the updates, I have restored the laptop if you default factory using Lenovo a recovery key. While the updates are being installed I received a message 'Fail configuration Windows updates reverting changes'. It lasted for an hour. When I tried to install updates again the same message appeared. My laptop came pre-installed with Nitro Pdf 8 and Mcafee Internet Security, so I have even uninstalled them, I also ran Mcafee Consumer Product Removal Tool. But the problem with windows update remained. I then ran the convenience store update Windows that sets these two problems:

    fix windows update fixed the database and repair misconfigured update windows components, but this solves nothing. Later I discovered that although the resolution of update problems show that the problems have been solved but convenience store running immediately shows again the same problems.

    So this time I ran again the recovery system, and immediately after the system recovery windows update of convenience store that showed the problems mentioned above two updates of windows.

    Is it so that means the recovery partition itself contains other problems that my problem would have been solved, what do I do to fix this?

  • default configuration of the pix 501 past recovery/restoration

    You need to reset the PIX 501 (lost password). I tried the password recovery instructions and accesses the monitor command by using the connection of the console, but cannot get the file to be transferred using tftp (ping command also expires).

    1. in case ordering interface be set to 0 or 1 (I used 1)

    2. the order of the address I was using 192.168.1.1

    3. order the server, I was using the IP address of the tftp server

    4. entry door? (Which is the PIX or the computer)?

    5. in addition to the blue console cable that if all other cables should be connected and which ports.

    Thank you

    I'm guessing you already have this document:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/customer/products/HW/vpndevc/ps2030/products_password_recovery09186a008009478b.shtml

    I would like to use the default value inside of the interface of the 1. Connect a standard ethernet cable to one of the Interior ports on the PIX and the other to your PC that has the server tftp on it of the interface software. Make sure that you see a link on both ends light. If not, take this cable or save it if you think it is a crossover cable. If you set the PIX address to: 192.168.1.1, then I would set my tftp server address: 192.168.1.2 or something in the same subnet. In this way we will not care what is the gateway address. No need to let pesky routers get in the way, when we're down!

    Since you asked the question 5 above, I'll explain. You should have a console cable connected, it seems do you since you can get to the monitor > prompt. You'll also need an ethernet cable plugged in a PC running a server tftp with the IP address: 192.168.1.2 3Com made a server tftp really good F * R * E * E.

    Select the last file in the list. Make sure you get that file recovery of password for the Cisco link above for the PIX OS version you are running. Configure the tftp server to point to the directory containing the PIX password recovery file and you are ready. Good luck, Derrick

    (2) I have no attached removable media.

    (3) I don't know how to get to any screen except that this form of failure, so do not know how to enter in a single command.

    (4) all that happens is that I see the ASUS logo, then this screen failure immediately.

    I'm panicking, it's all new. It has worked very well. I started it today, it has been updated slowly. I saw him at about 17%. Then I looked at a few hours later and saw that he was stuck in this process.
