Vista update fails, takes 30 minutes to come back!

It's been a week now, whenever I turn on the PC or reboot, Vista will update... 15 minutes later, I get the message (updates are not configured correctly, returning any changes... Do not turn off your computer) and then I have to wait another 15 minutes to get him back! Now, all I have in the start menu is: note pad, calculator and backup and Restore Center! It becomes very annoying. Please advice. It's windows Vista Home Basic, SP2, 32-bit.

Hi HeshamEtaby,

Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums!

Of after the description of problem that I understand that you can not install windows update on the windows vista computer, and it's back to the desktop.

-What do you mean "I have in the start menu of note pad, calculator and backup and Restore Center"?

This give a try.

Method 1

Run the fix of the article.
The problem with Microsoft Windows Update is not working
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/

Method 2
Try to install the update in a clean boot state.
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: After a repair, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 in the Knowledge Base article.

Method 3
The problem can also be caused by your security such as anti-virus program that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable the anti-virus and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.
Disable the antivirus software:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

Once we install the updates, please turn on the firewall.

Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Method 4

Refer to the help article and check if that helps.

Note: It is recommended to back up the data before you start the installation. Installation takes the same amount of time to make the upgrade to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.

    Alan,
    You execute all stages of this link as Halima provided: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947366
    Specifically have you tried 3 and 4 of the resolution?  If this isn't the case, then try them.
    If so, then try this:
    Disconnect all external devices (except keyboard and mouse)
    Perform a clean boot , and then download the stand-alone SP1 (which looks like you already have it).
    Disconnect from the internet, and then try to install SP1.

    If this still fails, check the error code and after that you have achieved.  You can also consider the possibility that you have a virus\malware infection.  Take a look at these links.

    Hi sychoSiz,

    Method 1

    See the Microsoft article and try the steps mentioned below.

    The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the computer restarts when you try to install an update in Windows Vista and Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949358

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then this can happen if some updates are not installing successfully.

    I suggest you check the update history to know what update is declining and install it later manually.

    (a) open Windows Update by clicking Start , all programsand then click Windows Update.

    (b) in the left pane, click view update history.

    (c) to view more information about an update, double-click it.

    Once you know the update's KB number then visit the Microsoft Download and put the number in the search box, download and install the update manually.

  • Vista - update failed (KB2719177)

    I'm unable to install KB2719177 the update Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista for x 64 - based systems. The update seems to have downloaded, but when you restart the computer it is trying to install, but fails.  He failed repeatedly.

    Yes, N360 v6 was installed when I did the clean install...

    (Yes, I give the Tech this thread first thing when I called yesterday...)

    Call support level 2 MS Tech technical:
    No joy... After more than two hours on the phone again today.
    Both the tech yesterday and today, has repeatedly tried to UNINSTALL IE9, but he has refused to let go.  I think sincerely that they both were doing everything possible to solve the problem.  Their bottom line was essentially the same as your recommendation: re - install Vista, and then reinstall all my programs.  Because I do not have the Vista disc (came pre-installed) they send me one.
    However... Since my computer is almost 5 years old... and a lot of my other programs come pre-loaded (no disc to re - install...), I think I'll opt for door #2... and get a new computer!
    Thanks again, Robert - you did a great job, and I learned a lot!   Peggy

  • Problem installation Vista updated and now the Vista operating system unbootable - help

    Here it is the description of what has past.  Ive been through everything I can do and am now stuck with a code of 0 X 4001100200001005.

    I worked with Microsoft Vista forum group of answers, but I'm not back upward and running if Im going back to HP for assistance.  I hope that we can achieve together.  This all started when started Vista updates failing.  I got the 1 3 install stuck on the 2nd about three weeks ago.

    Here is a list of what I've done so far
    I have an old HP DV9410us for a year which will not restart after installing updates.  It comes to configuring updates step 1 from 3 to about 98% and then stops.

    It then says unable to start windows and start the repair program windows for about 5-10 minutes.  He said that you want to use the system restore.  I tell Yah Why Not.  Then, it will stop and start the cycle.

    The error in the Startup Repair States the following

    After a bunch of tests successful

    Root cause found:

    c:\ntoskrnl.exe is corrupted.

    Repari Action: Repair of files
    Result: failed.  Error code = 0xa
    Duration 6521ms

    Action repair system restore
    Result: Completed successfully

    He then returns to the cycle all over again.

    I turned the clock to October with F10 at startup but that did nothing.

    I checked the hard drive for the short and complete and checked everything.

    I dug my recovery disks I did ago about 10 months after I bought and used to return to the top of my hardrive.  I was all ready for a MAC at this point.

    I went back to the HP Recovery program and tried to restore an earlier version of a well-known operating system.  The Manager of recovery disk wont work so I used the Recovery Manager disk.  There is no old configs to this true its in step 2.

    I'm now trying to perform a factory image recovery.
    Reload the operating system.  It started and got to 13% after 20 minutes and gave me the following error code.

    During this process, I have an error that had the code 0 x 4001100200001005.

    It is the reformatting of repeat of the Windows Partition.

    Is this a Vista update problem?  Have you seen this before?

    I'm doing a factory restore and will let you know if this operation fails.  I just wanted to get this thread started.

    I really appreciate this forum and any help you could give me.

    If you had an error in "configuration update 1 3-3 3 ' which would be a problem with windows update.

    to fix this, you'll need a factory image recovery if you can not access other modes for windows. But youy mentioned that you had a 0xx000x... (similar to code) error... try checking the hard drive and memory modules health... threr could be a problem with these devices, you can access it through the bios settings (turning on laptop, the moment you see hp invent screen, press f10) go to the diagnostics section, run the memory test and that hard drive test

    very probably with the error you have, you might have a hard drive problem.

    most of my clients (I am a specialist of the laptop of beak) with that problem and stuck on a boot loop or may not switch from windows, 95% of them had a hard drive failure.

  • Vista update may not download due regulationn.

    It is a complement to "Vista update fails KB2808679"

    I watched windowsupdate.log - it is filled with "Update unable to download due to regulations."  KB2808679 is the only problem.

    I thought that Microsoft has helped with update problems; so far, my original message is unanswered, and to 'regulation' everything that I find is 'server busy '.

    I have invested a lot of time in a backup system.

  • 80244019 MS VISTA UPDATE FAILURE?

    MS Vista UPDATES failed, for the past few weeks, when I check (automatic updates turned off).

    Same error code 80244019 shows.

    The clues, please?

    I fell right on this issue while reimage of old machines for their dismantling factory image.  I also sometimes ran into a situation where Windows would be "check for updates... "forever.

    A lot of material that I ran a DNS virus spoke, but given that I had just reimagee them, I knew that this was not the case.  I've also seen articles on complicated and tedious of compensation ways and the reset of the Windows components updates.  Those who did not work for me.

    It seems to me have stumbled across two possible solutions:

    1. make sure that the PC will not go to sleep or hibernation and then let the machine run its updates automatically.  Assuming you have the machine, by default, it checks the updates every day at 03:00, which of course, you can change.  In my case, the machines would be error if I tried to run Windows Update manually, but they would run successfully if I allowed them to run automatically.

    2. the other thing I did was change the value of Data Execution Prevention.  I changed, applied the change, then it changed back to its original value and the change still applied.  Reboot, and it works... for the most part.

    I often solve the problem during update cycle or two and then do it again.  I have to restart and adopt one of the strategies that precedes all over again.

    Hope that helps.
