What should I do when Windows Update is blocked for 3 days, saying "do not turn off your computer.

Windows Vista Home, automatic installation of updates 3 days ago, when it froze. He said 'do not turn off your computer', but ctrl + alt + delete does not work, so what do I do? I can't use all the controls while the update is frozen. If it's a difference, it is stuck on that updated 3/3 to 66%. Thanks in advance.

    Hello 3Ran
    Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    Michael Murphy has provided these steps already; I'll just say it in a different way.

    Because you can't go to your office, I suggest that you start your computer in safe MODE. Next to normal mode, it is a different way to connect to your computer and makes a few changes when the problem.

    HOW TO START YOUR COMPUTER IN SAFE MODE

    1. Restart your computer if it is running.
    2. Press the F8 key after your computer powers initially.
    3. Once you see the menu Advanced Startup Options , you can stop tapping.
    4. Up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.
    5. Select Safe Mode with network and press enter.
    6. You should see loading drivers and then Please wait.
    7. You should then be on the Welcome screen.

    Connect to your computer using an account with administrator privileges.

  • Default configuration of the windows features. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer... HEEELLLPP!

    After restart my Asus X55oE due to necessary updates, I got «default configure features windows.» Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer. After reading several messages through other forums, I turned it and then turn again only to receive the same screen. Some of these forums say that it can take 2 hours or more because of so many updates made at the same time. I think I was trying to upgrade windows 8 for windows 8.1.

    I'm really worried about it just because I just got back this PC from ASUS and am needing to work. Can someone tell me if there are other options or make sure that it just take a while? I also read that you can actually go to the control panel > windows update > help to erase mistakes. Also, someone said that you can customize the number of updates at a time can be both. I certainly do not happen again. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

  • Updates configuration: phase 2 of 3-100% full. Do not turn off your computer. Don't know what to do next!

    I have a 503WM Compaq Presario with Windows Vista Home Premium, which has problems after a Windows updated today.  First of all, I have installed .NET Framework (3.5?).  Windows Update started and downloaded a few other updates, and then asked to restart my computer - on restart received the updates configuration message, but when you have to configure the updates: phase 2 of 3-100% full.  Do not turn off your computer, nothing happens--or my hard drive internal or external are doing something and Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing.  What should I do next?

    Before that, I installed Hallmark Card Studio 2010 Deluxe and received an error message 2738.  Followed the instructions on Microsoft to add two files that had to do with the VB script.  Hallmark installation instructions downloaded then installed .NET Framework 3.5.  The update of Windows has started and installed (I think) 4 critical updates.
