Vista updates step 3 of 3 reboot loop, cannot fix

• The update of Windows 10 1511 reboot loop Bootcamp BSOD ACPI. SYS

  It is a copy of my thread to http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance/windows-10-update-1511-reboot-loop-bootcamp/8653... as I was asked to post here by the Microsoft Support Engineer.

  Hello

  Friday night, I went to bed with a working machine. I had a late 2013 Mac Pro BootCamp running with a Windows 10 Pro installed, the Build version before 1511.

  On Saturday morning, I woke up to my PC restart itself over and over again. It seems that Windows Update has decided to put a new version of Windows 10 on my machine without my knowledge. I discovered this after restoring an acronis backup (which took a few hours because of the number of incremental backups)

  Occasionally (about 1 in 20 restarts) it would blue screen with an error:

  SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (ACPI.sys)

  But the rest of the time he would just start, flash a window for a millisecond that says (I think) winlaunch.exe, then restart.

  I tried a lot of things to sort it, including:

  (1) restore from a backup, acronis to Friday morning, running sfc/scannow, and then runs the update

  (2) the creation of a recovery USB, enter the console, change the boot to legacy method, so I can F8, then goes into all security modes and mode of illegal product, but I can find where windows 10 now puts the boot log

  (3) restored from acronis, switched to mac, created a new bootcamp drivers usb, switched to windows and run the option 'fix drivers' before performing the update.

  Ntbtlog.txt is not anywhere on the partition. I ran a dir /s > a.txt then open this a.txt in Notepad and searched him.

  I don't know where to go from here. I can acronis restore of a windows 10 work machine the morning before installing mandatory 1511. I don't know how to delay the update no more, I noted during a restore I had delay on updates that are why it has arisen just now.

  I do not know how to find where this BSOD ACPI.sys will come (even if it happens so rarely) or this that its trying to load just before it crashes (so I can try to delete the driver etc. by the front restored windows to upgrade)

  I guess the widowed causes 10 to do a restore, then the restore fails.

  Overall, I get at the end of my wits with this, to go a completely Windows 10 installation work Friday to more than two wasted days, restore backups, try again, rinse and repeat. It's now Monday morning and I am posting this as a ditch last attempt to solve the problem, your help would be appreciated.

  If you need more information please let me know the location of the files, etc, or their names and I will do my best to have copies available for you.

  I will now restore the backup again, uninstall loading of drivers, and then try the update of windows for the 4th or 5th time.

  Thanks in advance,

  Julian

  Woo Hoo, I've solved the problem!

  I uninstalled the drivers of graphics from AMD (with AMD Driver Cleaner) and Arcronis True Image Home 2013 at the same time, then let Windows Update run its course. Now I have a machine with Windows Version 1511 10!

  It took me 4 days of downtime...

  I hope this helps someone else.

• Pavilion dv6700: Pavilion laptop computer under Vista: Windows does not start, the Startup Repair cannot fix it. What to do next?

  Hello
  My laptop seven year old made me proud til yesterday, but now it does not fire upwards. Instead, it hangs for a minute or two (black screen, no HARD drive light blinks, nothing), while it charges to a screen with two options - either start the system restart or start Windows normally. The second option takes me around the loop again. The first option tells me that it cannot fix the problem automatically. When I display the error details, it lists all of the tests, as adopted successfully, but ends with the words: "Root cause found: failure so that the Setup program is underway.

  I'm sure I know why she fell: two days ago, I left all my files on a portable player and defragmented the disk. The idea was to speed up the machine and get it running like new. He immediately started to hang when connecting, so I thought, well I'll go for a complete restoration of the system. I followed the procedure using the disks provided with the machine, and that's when it stopped working completely. I felt that this was more than the aging than HARD drive could take.

  My attempts at rejuvenation have actually caused his untimely death? Or is there a difficulty - something I could undertake?

  Or should I just bite the bullet and go and buy a new machine? When everything (screen, keyboard and trackpad) worked so well, it seems a shame...

  Any help or thoughts welcome. Thank you

  If you really want to resurrect, you could certainly purchase a new hard drive and try to restore the system of work using the recovery media - but then, even if it did work, you would have still lost all your data, settings, and applications in the process - and having to reinstall all your applications everywhere again.

  Hey, don't feel bad, I'm guilty of this too - has recently attempted to resurrect an era Tablet XP PC so that it can run Win10!  He went from XP to Vista, Win7, for Win8 - and along the way, gains of new memory and drives hard - but the Win10 bet was too.  So, I got to a "give up to use it.

  However, I also kept a cell phone 5 year alive by replacing the HDD with a SSD and adding more memory.  So now it is faster than ever, it has been and works like new.

  But... He has NO touchscreen, there no USB3 ports, it doesn't have 1 GB ethernet - and the list goes.

  Thus, it works very well for what we use it for - but it can't really be upgraded, so sooner or later, we will have to replace it.

  Everything depends on how much you need 'new' - touch screen, stylus, handwriting, camera, 3 USB ports, display port jack, HDMI ports... etc.

  My laptop has done a windows update this morning, don't know what he did, it was very fast now, everytime I turn on windows trying to open then fails and continues to do this in a loop.  Please no technique with the help of numpty here!

  Hello

  1. what update has the problem from occurring?

  Follow these steps and check if the problem persists.
   
  Step 1:

  
  You can check if you can "disable automatic system failure reboot " from the options in advance. In this way the computer will not go into a reboot loop and you will be able to note the error code, if any. If you see no error code, you can answer comes back with the error code.
   
  Step 2:
   
  I suggest that you start your computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.
   
  Step 3:
   
  If the system works fine in safe mode, I suspect that there could be a conflict of software of third party causing the problem to occur. I suggest that you start your machine in a clean boot State.
   
  Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual.
   
  See the below article access in Event Viewer.

• Computer is stuck in a reboot loop, while security updats

  ORIGINAL TITLE: reboot problem

  Computer is stuck in a reboot loop, while security updats

  Hello

  1 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

  2. do you get an error message or an error code? If Yes, what is the exact full error message?

  I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1: Try to run the system in safe mode restore.

  Step 1:
  Try to start the computer in safe mode, here is the link:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-Vista

  If you were able to start your computer normally by using the system restore, then refer to the following method, and try to update your windows.

  Method 2: To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note When you perform a clean boot, you may temporarily lose some functionality. When you start the computer as usual, the function returns. However, you may receive the error message, or you can experience the original behavior.

  Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

• Cannot step 3 of 3 for Vista updates

  I have a number of Vista updates that will not be installed.  A site to help/support windows was a suggestion that you could install manually by going to the Microsoft Vista download site.  So, I chose the 2 most old and manually, and to install several days ago.  In both cases, an error message came back indicating that the updates were for a 64 bit system.  Later that night I turned off the computer and turned it on the next morning.  I got a message saying Setup updated step 1 of 3-0% complete.  This message has been on the computer for several hours before I did a manual close.  Now, when I reboot, the message says configuration updates step 3 of 3-0% complete.  This message will remain on the computer for about 1 minute, after which the system attempts to restart again.  This process continues indefinitely.  I tried to go in 'safe mode', but the same thing happens.  I do not have a startup disk, so may not exercise this option.  Please help - I'm sure that the solution cannot be that hard.  Also, please tell us if there is a way to avoid this situation in the future.

  most of the computers I sold recently are affected - ms Ko 949358 describes this well - using repair CD allows you to rename the folder (files) waiting - but - so far, the problem always resurfaced after 2 or 3 days - repair ms KO suggested in the previous KB 937287 update will not - install version wrong system error - now the good news : change of name by using CD repair can be done repeatedly and will copy/backup all files on an external user - using a full system reinstall after a cold start automatic tracking updates (about 100) will produce a system vista stable basic with no missing updates.

• Reference Dell Vista stuck in a reboot loop must restore

  I have a dell desktop computer I bought from rent a Center about 2 years ago. It comes with Windows Vista. They don't did me not a recovery disk. I had a lot of questions and restore points were not helping, so I went through f8 and fact a reset. After that she completed successfully I clicked on finish, and it began to restart, which I expected.

  Now, however, he is stuck in a reboot loop. It gets to the screen that has Dell on this, with the f2, f12 options in the right corner, and then start again again and again. I tried to press f8 and hope go in safe mode and see what was up, but f8 does not open and f2 and f12 are not help at this point. they give me boot priority and so on but no real start until now kind of options. It is possible that windows doesn't have factory loaded, and now I have simply no operating system?  They say they have a reset disk can I come down and use, but im wondering if this will help because I can't really get anywhere or if im just done...

  No messages online that I was looking for really specific my situation...

  Hello

  ·         Did you follow the steps in this article to restore the computer to factory settings?

  If a factory restore full does not lead to a fully functional version of Windows then you have a hardware problem. I came in contact with Dell technical support.

• Problem in reboot loop after updates.

  I have windows XP on an Asus A8V-E-SE motherboard has developed a problem in reboot loop after updates.  It will not go in safe mode either.  Stop at a display of the driver.  I used the recovery console using the XP cd and you can see the update directories in the systemroot folder.  I followed the instructions in the forum to uninstall every update by accessing commands back to the subdirectory spuninst update and then run "Batch spuninst.txt.  I get a bunch of 'access denied' messages for each of them (varies in amount of "access denied" messages by everyone but consistent for each.)  It's not like the batch uninstall for the update does not work.  I tried to uninstall all updates yesterday 10/02/10 (I had 10) even with the "access denied" messages, but it still will not initialize properly.  No way to move the access denied message?

• VISTA UPDATE LOOP

  I also have the vista update loop just like everybody... how frustrating on mine, is that I don't have a CD/dvd drive to put the cd... and other fixes do not work. These are the only options in the startup options and none of them works

  http://I52.Photobucket.com/albums/G33/rakcs/DSC00003.jpg

  so I thought to install XP via USB stick bootable. but I can't make it work. not even sure if I can install xp without vista im cleaning.
  I also thought that the delivery of the missing update through bootable usb... but I'm not sure if this is possible... someone has it already tried? anyone with the same situation as mine? pls help... Thank you...

  You copy the image of the ISO file on the disk, Boot from the disk you...

  If the Bios of your laptop can't boot from USB: NO, you can not start him.

  You only know if your Bios/motherboard supports the boot from USB, or not.

  Now, you went beyond the scope of these Vista Help Forums.

  Now, you also have a hardware problem.

  Most portable computers have a DVD player; especially if they have Vista preinstalled.

  I suggest that you get your repaired/replaced DVD drive, or check the manual of your laptop to see if your card motherboard/Bios support boot from USB.

  When you sort this possibility, try a repair of the boot with the link "ISO file/make a disc of ' I you provided.

  If this does not work, reinstall Vista.
