Windows 7 keeps asking to reboot to install the updates.

Message is "Restart your computer to finish installing important updates" "Windows cannot update services and important files while the system uses them. Be sure to back up your files before you start again. "No matter how many times you restart it will not update install.  Any ideas?

Empty your temporary Internet files folder
Open command run (Windows key + R)
type: folder
Empty the contents of this folder
Restart your computer

Also try this:
1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
User account control permission
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
5. click on OK.
6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  • I lost all my tabs when I rebooted to install the update, is there a way I can get back them?

    I restarted my browser to install your latest update. I had 45 tablets, some of them opened the month and never closed. When your browser window open all my tabs have disappeared and it let me use "restore previous Session." Is it possible to recover these tabs? Its going to be almost impossible for me to restore even half of them and it's very frustrating. I use my chrome right now because I don't want to touch my firefox just in case.

    Nevermind, I found the button to restore all windows were closed and he lifted my main window and a few others as well.

  • Install the updates of Windows 7 not Windows 10

    I have more than 30 windows 7 selected updates and when I click OK it brings back me to the GET started installing Windows 10 screen. I want to install the updates, not Windows 10 and can't find a way to do

    Do you plan on installing Windows 10 soon?

    If this isn't the case - get rid of advertising for it in this way:

    Copy and paste the text below (and especially) the obvious markers in a text file, save it as "DisableGWX.reg")<-- changing="" even="" the="" file="" extension="" -="" if="" you="" cannot="" see="" it,="" you'll="" have="" to="" change="" your="" windows="" explorer="" view="" a="" bit="" to="" make="" this="" easier)="" and="" then="" use="" that="" (right-click="" on="" it,="" merge="" it="" into="" your="" registry)="" to="" disable="" the="" upgrade="" 'pushiness'="" you="" are="" seeing. ="" restart="" to="" get="" the="" full="">

    -COPY EVERYTHING BELOW THIS LINE-

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX]
    "DisableGWX" = DWORD: 00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
    "DisableOSUpgrade" = DWORD: 00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade]
    "AllowOSUpgrade" = DWORD: 00000000
    "ReservationsAllowed" = DWORD: 00000000

    -COPY EVERYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE-

    Once this is done, you should be without the notification and your Microsoft Updates must return to its normal state.  If you ever want to upgrade to Windows 10 new (remember, this is a work in progress and if you upgrade already on this system and active - there is a license for Windows 10 you'll never pay for related to this individual machine for the life of this individual machine) you can probably use the media creation tool to make * or * reverse the registry values (all above (: 00000001 becomes: 00000000 and all DWORD: 0-0000000 becomes: 00000001) and save this file and MERGE again.  Restart and you are back where you were before.

    * TIP * for everyone out there.  One thing I saw not advertised on the option of restoration of 30 days you have with Windows 10 is that * if * you run the media creation toolat any point in these 30 days, it BREAKS the ability to restore - even if you did just to create an ISO image, so you should have the installation media to continue.  That's because this tool recreates the $' Windows. ~ BT' and ' $Windows. ~ records of the WS on the root of your C drive and these two folders and their content after the upgrade as well as the "Windows.OLD" folder (the only 'visible by default' one of the three) are all necessary for the process of restoration work.

    It's a little 'reflection', but the images (animated ones) could be useful at least some number of words is above this line...

  • Cannot install the update for Windows vista (KB2718704) a safe mode or after clean window reboot

    I can't install the update for Windows vista (KB2718704), a mode without failure or after clean window reboot.

    What should I do?

    Hello

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         You are able to install other updates successfully?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

    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 do not 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 during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 7 the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

    For the last few days my Windows Mail keeps asking for my username and password and even if they are correct it still doesn't and comes repeatedly asks me for the info again and again. I deleted the account mail twice now and re added it but it still does not work. I can send emails but not receive. I have McAfee but I aiinstalle only this yesterday so that isn't the problem. the error message is:-

    Please help I need to retrieve my emails! Thanks, Sarah

    McAfee is a huge problem with Windows Mail.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 if you want to use, wait until you get the job of Winmail.

    Check if you can connect webmail and that works very well and it's not a problem on the end of the server messaging or because of misspelled powers.  Then delete your account in WinMail, compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and make sure that you have disabled the e-mail analysis then add your account to mail back again and see if it works.

    Hello

    I can't open the Folio Builder and access or update my folios more.

    Everytime I open the Folio Builder I'm stuck - it asks me to install the updates. I did it (several times), but I keep getting the same MOUSSOKI. By clicking on the link is going nowhere.

    Thanks a lot for your help

    If you install the new Folio Builder Panel and continue to receive this error message, there could be a problem with your temporary files. Try to clear your cache folios. To do this on a Mac, exit InDesign and go to [user] > Library > Preferences > StageManager. [channel] > host Local, then delete the subfolders in the folder to the Local host. (If you're in Leo, your file system is hidden by default, but you can hold down the Option key and choose go > library.) Then restart InDesign.

  • I had 26 successful updates for SQL Server 2005 SP3 KB970892, but I keep getting a yellow icon who invites me to install it. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I still get the prompt to install the update.

    I have Dell Dimension 8100 with Windows XP Home Edition that has Visual Studio 2005 Express installed that has SQL Server 2005 with her. I had a problem with Windows Update and will prompt to install SQL Server 2005 SP3 KB970892 since October 14,2009. I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything first and always kept getting the prompt, then I tried another solution that I got from a forum of symantec. I uninstalled the update again, and then I went into the registry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Resume REG_DWORD and changed the value decimal from 1 to 0, installed the update and restarted the machine. It worked for the person who posted, but this has not worked for me. I waited a while hoping that Microsoft will come out with a fix for the next monthly update that has not yet happened. If anyone has a solution, please send an email to . I thank very you much for your time.
