Windows 7 STUCK of updates

Hello

I had posted a question on this at the time and received a response which has worked so far.   See below

I recently did a new install of Windows 7 pro and had the problem installing updates.  So I followed the

steps below and I tried to install the KB3020369 and received the error so I then installed the KB3172605 with no.

problems.   After doing this, I tried to continue with the updates and it took forever so I tried to install the KB3020369

same mistake.   There is an KB976902 update that is on the machine and I can't uninstall.  Either I'm stuck way check

updates for more than 24 hours.  Will begin again this afternoon and let it run all night.  Any suggestions

Thank you

Karen


Hello klmorgan-Office [365].

Your question about the Microsoft community received a response from Canadian technology.
Title: updates - stuck Win 7
 
Response
Fix tetraethyle3, but I would advise Windows Update service be stopped and a reboot occur in addition to the definition of never.
Many of us have worked on a better set of instructions.  I'll include it here. Feedback is more than welcome...
August 18, 2016
Windows Update has become very problematic for users of Windows 7.  During the past year, we have worked to find a solution that works for you.  We found one that works very well for most.  We know that for some it works well for August 2016 until 2 September Tuesday, known as Patch Tuesday.
We hope to update for September.
We emphasize that, to do this, you must follow exactly as described.
There are two main types of installations of Windows 7: 32-bit or 64-bit.  You know what is installed on your computer.  Click on the globe start, type in the box system. Choose system information in the list.  The abbreviation for technology for 32-bit is x 86 and 64-bit x 64

  1. Start Windows Update, and change the setting for never to find updates. We recommend that you only keep this setting.  Then Windows Update will be automatic.  From there, you are responsible for departure and the installation of updates.  We recommend to you a few days after the 2nd Tuesday of each month.
  2. The process begins by ensuring that there is nothing running that will prevent the update to work correctly.  Click on the globe to start and type services in the text box.  Click Services in the list that appears.  In the window that appears then (its alphabetical), find Windows Update.  Right click on it (left click if your mouse is set for left-handed people), and then choose stop.
  3. Restart your computer.
  4. You will now download and install manually updates one or two.  In most cases, only the first (KB3172605) is required.  If that produces a result that indicates the update is not suitable for your computer, you must first install the 2nd day of these (KB3020369), and then install the first (KB3172605).  Choose one that is for your machine - 32-bit (X 86) or 64-bit (X 64).

KB3172605:
32 bit

64 bit

  1. After rebooting your computer, wait for about 10 minutes until that Windows Update performs its tasks.  Do not use the computer for other purposes during this waiting period.
  2. Start Windows Update.  It will take that a few minutes to come up with a list and download updates you select.  The process is quite normal because it was always from that moment.

If your computer has not been updated for a long time, it may take longer.

  • Windows Vista stuck in update 3 of 3 loop after updates.

    updated the title: Can not boot Vista after updates

    I'm stuck in the update 3 of 3 loop and cannot restore my system by using the system restore or the Vista CD... Can anyone help? Y at - it a solution or should I reinstall?  thanksRemember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Hi royfos,

    Do you have a code error message when you try to run the system restore?

    Check if you can get into safe mode. If you manage to get into safe mode, then you can run the restore of the system from there. Otherwise, another option is to perform the Startup Repair.

    Method 1: Troubleshooting Safe Mode

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

    Safe mode is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer with only basic services and features.

    To get into safe mode, check out this help article: , start your computer in safe mode

     

    Step 2: Run system restore

     

    For complete help, see this article:System Restore: frequently asked questions

    Note: If you use system restore when the computer is in safe mode, you can not undo the restore operation. However, you can run System Restore again and choose a different restore point if any.

    Method 2: Startup Repair

     

    Startup Repair is a Windows Vista recovery tool analysis of missing or damaged system files that may prevent Windows from starting correctly. Run it and see if that fixes the boot problem.

    Reference:

  • Windows Vista stuck with "update configuration".

    Whenever I stop Windows Vista, System stucks with "Configuring updates" appearing on the screen.

    The original post has been read.

    The original post has no importance now.

    What you do not understand, is that you now do a logoff and reboot for a fresh start of windows.

    The problem should be gone because the download folder has been emptied.

    and if the problem is still there, start the system in safe mode and then rinse the folder download again.

  • Windows 7 stuck on update "restart your computer to install important updates"

    Yesterday by mistake I upgraded Windows 7 to 10.  After watching 10 hours, I returned to 7.  System check updates to day and put some apparently and followed with "Restart your computer to install important updates" - which cannot be updated while the system is using them.  All that seems fair enough.  However, the same reboot message was received after several reboots (including cold boots).  Cannot restore to last good config - probably due to their loss in the upgrade.  FixIt MS and solving problems of updating has not solved the problem.  Is there a switch somewhere that I can reset?  Help please.

    Is this the same computer - not necessarily the same problem - as in one or more of these previous threads of yours?...

  • Update of Windows 8 stuck at 12%

    Update Windows 8 stuck at 12%. Frustrating because I had to deal with the error 13% already. Any ideas? Thank you!

    Hi all

    Update for Windows 8 (KB2771431) was released in December 2012, which the fixed an issue that was causing this update stops responding at 12% and caused also updated KB2756872 to stop responding to 13% of configuration updates.

    If you hide one of these up-to-date or disabled the automatic updates to avoid this problem, you can now activate or restore your updates and search for new updates.  Details on how to restore updates can be found here.

    To search for new updates:

    1. Type Windows Update in the start screen, press or click settings, and then tap or click install optional updates.
    2. Press or click the link in the upper left corner that says check the updates.
  • Windows switches mode 'sleep' and is now stuck at 'update 27 of 105.

    Help, please!  Last night, I closed my laptop and he told me it was going to continue to install updates.  105 ofr them.  I have not thought very well no problem because I was going to bed anyway.  So I close the lid and go to bed when he was to be updated on 27.  When I opened this morning - a full 15 hours later, it was still updating the 27.  So I waited and nothing happened.  It has not frozen as the blue circle turns again.

    I turned off and removed the battery and then lit it back to see he's trying to return to the update of the 27.  So I tried from the laptop in safe mode and now it says "update configuration" but in a lower resolution. fun.  Is it possible that I can start windows and circumvent the updates?

    OK, the details of installation below, so when I try to compose an email, I just get a new message window icon stuck in windows
