  HP Z800 refreshed win 7 pro 64... do not finish the windows updates...

  Newly installed OS - everything seems to work fine, except for the shot without end to WIndows update... Verification of updates. Apparently, this affects the update of Windows 10 as well. Someone at - it ideas? I tried all the options via the site help MS. Merci.

  Greetings,

  Please read this.

  You can wait patiently (updates will appear later) or there is a problem in the article.

  You need to reinstall Windows for the fix. Your PC must be isolated from the network when reinstalling windows. You need to download both updates and install before connecting your PC to the network.

  I used the fix of Ed Bott and it works. But I reinstalled Win 7 again. I wasn't going to wait for hours and hours to get the security updates.

  You can try to install these updates on the problematic installation of Win 7:

  1. apply the Microsoft patch found here. Disconnect from the network.

  2. install the two updates in offline mode and cross your fingers.

  3. repeat on Windows Update.

  See you soon!

  Hello

  Follow these steps.

  Go to Start, run, copy and paste this command, then click OK: services.msc
  (Press the Windows key + R if you do not "run" in the start menu)

  In the list of Services, see Background Intelligent Transfer Service or BITS ?

  If it is not listed, please follow these steps if you have a desktop computer. If you have a laptop, go to section 2

  Open the Windows search tool, copy / paste the following text, and then click Search: qmgr.dll

  Research should show this file in the following locations:

  C:\Windows\System32
  C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\bits

  I hope they are all present, follow these steps to register the service.

  Go to Start, run , and copy/paste: regsvr32 qmgr.dll and click OK

  Do the same with this file: regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

  Restart the PC and then copy / paste this command into the field run:
  %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\qmgr.inf

  If you are prompted to insert the Windows installation CD, ignore this and in the dialog below, replace the path C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

  The reason to change the path to the i386 folder is that the files that are there are newer than those on the Windows installation CD.

  Restart the PC and then go to the Services and you should be able to see BITS in the list.

  Double click on it and then on the general tab, click the Start button to start the service manually. This is just a test to make sure that it works correctly.

  If you get 2 error: cannot find the specified file, click on start, then run again and copy / paste the following command, and then click OK:
  Tracking Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS\Parameters /v ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dll

  Reboot again and try once more to start the PIECES. It should work fine now, but in the unlikely case where it fails again, run the following command, and then press ENTER:
  Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

  Reboot once more and then do the following.

• Win XP Pro will download updates but install fails

  I have a problem with win xp pro. When I download updates they will download but the installation fails. At the same time when I would shut down the computer, it would be the installation of the updates. Now she even won't do it. Is the a link to the updates, where I can download updates and install them manually? I think I did it once but I forgot to bookmark the link. Now all I get is there is no update available.  I have the auto download and install settings, so I don't know if I'll keep updating the value. Is there a way to check my updates are up-to-date. Also, I ran fixit and he could not solve the problem. Thanks in advance

• Updating the measures for Win - XP Pro, SP1 to SP3 (jump SP2?)

  I do volunteer work 1/2 day per week for a small organization non-profit organizations with a very limited budget (almost non-existent). We work in the given space, but have free access to the DSL service.

  We have the following...

  1 2000 computer HP desktop, Intel Pentium 4, Windows 2000, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB, CD - R, IE - 6 hard drive.

  2 2006 Compaq desktop with Win - XP SP3, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB HD, CD - R, IE-8.

  3. computer acer laptop 2008, Win - XP SP3 with 512 MB RAM, 40 GB HD, CD-R/W that works (depending on what day of the week, it comes), IE-8.

  One of our local "family" donated the following for us...

  2004 work HP desktop with Win - XP Pro SP1, 512 MB RAM, 105 GB HD (less than 30 GB used), CD - RW, DVD-R, IE-6,

  -plus a new module of RAM of 512 MB which could be installed.

  -a new, but not installed, updated graphics card.

  These two were going to be installed, but the client fell sick and recently passed away.

  While this desktop computer is older, it has been used very little, 'C' part of the HD less than 30 GB of 105 GB used, less than 2% of disk fragmentation, no scratches, dents, original basic mouse and keyboard... excellent shape.

  In order to remove the HP 2000 desktop computer, I suggest the following...

  (A) delete all the old software, except the WIN - XP.

  (B) defrag the HD.

  (C) the Win - XP, SP1 rollback "original updated" status. HP support pages imply that he is a "clean install". HP has the SP1 of Win - XP original on a segment of "recovery" of the HD.

  What else is necessary (I guess)...

  1. install the new 512 MD RAM module.

  2. check that the current power out sufficient to manage the 'new' graphics card (requires 250 watt power)... and install the new graphics card... or just stay with the existing graphics capabilities if the power supply is insufficient.

  3. update all hardware drivers.

  4. load Win - XP, SP2, and SP3... or just go to SP1 SP3? (comments, please)

  5 install Internet Explorer 8... or IE-9? (comments, please).

  6. use of Win - XP SP3 and security center firewall... or install (?) for a protection antivirus and antispyware... suggestions sincerely appreciated.

  7 install MS Office 2007 Pro (unused software, gift).

  My dilemma... What is the sequence own/recommended to perform all these steps...

  A / B / C / D? and 1-2-3-4-5-6-7?

  Remember that we do not have money for a new computer, but I don't have the time and (I think) the ability to perform the steps.

  Thanks for your suggestions, recommendations and comments.

  Greetings - FLgal

  Your Service Pack 3 CD contains the SP3 .exe Setup file, so you don't need to download what you fortunately already.

  If you need to download this file, it would have been safer to do using another PC. But since you have it, don't you worry in this regard. :-)

  So you're on the right track!

• Win 7 pro updates

  Fresh installed win 7 pro does not get updates.

  Help!

  You need KB3020369 and KB3172605. The rollup of convenience is an offering as an option for the shortening of the procedure to update from 2011 to 2016.

• New system Win 7 Pro Builds - take 2 days of updates - SLOW

  Hello

  We build Win 7 Pro SP1 machines for our customers on a daily basis. Each generation system is exactly the same with respect to the hardware and the OS.

  Once the equipment is mounted, load us Win 7 Pro, install all the drivers, activate the key and then begin the process of 2 days to update the system before we can finish the build & ship to our customers.

  There are usually about 230 + automatic updates who needs every machine according to the update of windows. We have 32 GB of RAM in each machine that we build during the update phase to ensure that there is nothing on our side to help make this process slower. (Our machines are rich in resources and very fast hardware)

  When we launch the update, it will last for 5-8 hours BEFORE it starts the download/update/restart process. There is no possible way that we can maintain our customers in a faster way because of this process 2 horrible day. This process of 2 days is eating my lunch.

  Question:

  Is there anything we can do to simply load the updates on our end - or another possible solution that does not require that us invest in a roll of enterprise quality cost platform?

  Note: Starting tomorrow, we're going to experiment with cloning a fully charged & update Win 7 Pro Solid State HD - which has not yet been activated with the key. Once clone us the master SSHD to an another SSHD, we will then activate the 2nd SSHD with the appropriate Windows button, etc... Our idea is to just clone the master for the builds - then enable each SSHD on the new machine with the windows key is supplied with each machine.

  Any ideas are appreciated - if our experimental is the better solution, please let me know.

  Thank you!

• Update Win 7 Pro to win 10 Pro

  When I received notifications on my computer at the office (Win 7 Pro); Home (Win 7 Pro) and my laptop (Win 7 Pro) in all cases, I see only a verification that I am currently running Win 7 but no mention of the Pro!  I need for remote access.

  As I read the many comments on the situation, I hope that I understand that if I have Win 7 Pro, I will be upgraded to win 10 Pro.  However, before you start the upgrade on any of my computers, I would like to know if there is a way required and recommended to start the upgrade that will ensure I get the Pro versions or will happen automatically?

  Yes, your installation of Windows 7 Professional will be modernized for Windows 10 Pro.

  If you start the upgrade through Windows Update, or media ISO creation tool, you will get 10 Pro in Windows.

  Windows Update problem (new)

  The following procedure applies in the case of installation (reinstall) Windows 7.  It does not apply to a usual, normal day.

  I'm afraid that you will do the reinstall again.  Not a terrible penalty to pay.  Usually takes less than an hour.  Then immediately proceed to the next procedure.   It's strange, but it really does work and many people have proved it.

  NEVER install anything other than Windows updates until your system is up-to-date.  Once you have the list update, install all together.  Installation of updates in batches is not expedite the process or do better.

  1. Before you begin to re - install, download (32 or 64 bit) KB3083710 and KB3102810 in advance and store on a USB
  2. Start and end the re - install Windows 7 SP1
  3. Before that the newly installed system can go online for the first time, Disconnect the computer from the Internet.  This chronology is essential.
  4. Install KB3083710 and reboot manually.
  5. Install KB3102810 and reboot manually.
  6. Restore the Internet connection, and run Windows Update as usual.
  7. After a few minutes, you should have a lot of updates to download and install.

• Update to Win 8 Pro on Dell - used the extra features Add - key function but now is rejected

  Hello

  I bought a Dell XPS with Win 8 pre installed computer and key in the BIOS.

  I needed features of Windows 8 Pro, so I bought a retail dvd.

  When I pop the disk in the Dell to do a fresh install... it fails. I think it's because the activation key which is located in the BIOS is set to the version 8 to win and will not let me install the Windows 8 Pro.

  So what I was thinking was I could go to add Windows 8 features. It asks for a product key. I get the product key provided with the pro Win 8 of retail disc.  It worked and it comes and goes.  For some reason, the computer crashed. Ok. Rebooted the machine. When I go back to the features add Windows 8 and add the product key, it is now rejected.

  I have a few questions that I hope that you can answer:

  1. is my activation key pro 8 victory at retail now invalid? Shouldn't be able to reuse the key for new installations? He is always on the same machine.

  2. someone with experience with the installation of win 8 pro on a Dell computer with the ordinary 8 Win on the Bios?

  I installed clean installs of Windows many times, but never on a Dell computer. so I am frustrated he gave me these questions.

  Thank you!

  8 win was preinstalled with the Dell XPS.

  I have a full retail version of DVD to win 8 pro.

  It was very weird. If I stop the machine because I dropped. Came back to her and did a few more things. Then I got frustrated by the 'led' search somehow got installed and removed.

  This required a reset. While she has been reset, it said that it was the application of updates.  Ok. It was weird.

  After the reboot, I checked the version of windows, and it is indeed the Windows 8 Pro version.

  So what's happened? I do not know. I can't explain it.

  This is not a update product key. It is a full commercial product key.

  I don't know why it took days and several reboots before something kicks and managed to install from Microsoft.

  I wish I can explain it. I can't.

  But thanks for the quick response and offer help.

• Just DLd CD player. Now, nothing will be printed. I also get error app for Windows (0xc0000022) whenever I start CD player. I uodated download of the last update and tried an auto repair. Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit machine.

  Just DLd CD player. Now, nothing will be printed. I also get error app for Windows (0xc0000022) whenever I start CD player. I uodated download of the last update and tried an auto repair. Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit machine. I tried several printers and I can test printing from other applications such as Outlook and Wordpad.

  None of this has worked. I have to get rid of the error (0 x 000022) and he got good printing. I did clean the Adobe Reader DC machine, reinstalled drive XI 11.0.10 and in the preferences to disabled Adobe protected in Security (Enhanced) Mode and set "view documents I have PDF/A mode" forever in the Documents tab...

  It seems that each player version as it becomes more complex (with the "features enhanced security") gets more unstable.

  I'll try Adobe Reader DC when I eventually have to WIN 10 which is never if all goes well.
