Windows 7 update taking hours!

• Is it because of this value 'DontOfferThroughWUAU' manual Windows update taking hours? (Urgent)

  In my previous question http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-update/how-not-to-install-kb890830-windows-update-as-it/48836332-b1c0-4b97-922e-60f463041336

  to solve the problem, I created a 'DontOfferThroughWUAU' registry value and thought that he'd stop only auto update of KB890830.

  
  In any case, after obtaining US-CERT Microsoft Releases Security Update I checked update Windows in the bar of tasks, but it was not all then I have checked manually. Now an hour has lapsed and Windows update is to be confirmed. It happens because of the registry value that I created or 11 update from Microsoft could be taken in time.

  Or do I have to remove the SOOPER DontOfferThrough?

  Please advice.

  Thank you

  You can return to your previous setting, once the manual installation was a success.

• Windows XP SP3 taking hours to install update 1 of 2...

  I have Windows XP on Parallels 5.0. My update asked me to do an update and after waiting all night, yet did not.  He said not to turn off computer etc as it will do it automatically. Finally I gave up and turned off the computer. The next time I turned on, it automatically starts with the same blue screen of Windows XP, saying that this is "Installing update 1 of 2..." once again.  I can't yet use Windows around it.  How do I give this up?

• Windows 7 update is stuck on 151 of 194 for hours, what should I do

  Windows 7 update is stuck on 151 of 194 for hours, what should I do

  Hello...

  Thanks for your reply...  I went to bed at night and the next day, he was still on 151 of 194... I talked to someone at microsoft and they said that it was possible to screw up my bios if I turned off.    The person at microsoft told me to call Dell...  I said that Dell was told to call microsoft.    I also made him point it is microsoft product, but he kept saying... contact Dell.  In any case, I called Dell again and they told me to power it down.   When I restarted it... It was ok... I've always had about 40 + updates, but got through them ok...

• 27 - 1110ea: Windows 7 update does not update

  Hello

  I did now 2 installs fresh with the HP recovery discs and both windows update does not work. I tried different patches from microsoft that I found online in this regard and nothing works.

  I don't know if it's related, but said SP1 is installed, but when I look in the installed updates it isn't here. If I try to uninstall from a command promt it says is not installed and if I try to install it from the microsoft download it says it is installed.

  It makes me crazy. I was expecting it to work from a clean install, but it doesn't.

  Any help would be great.

  Hello

  Welcome to the HP Support forum. Thank you for posting.

  If it says SP1 is included, it means it is included and comes with the system, so you can not unintall it - it is part of the system - built in. You will not see the updates installed because it's built, do not subsequently installed.

  It is a known problem that now when you perform a clean installation of Windows 7, the installation updates will be delayed. This is due because of many things including the fact that W7 is more priority Microsoft because of new OS on the juice of the horizon: like Windows 10. Some users have reported that after the new facility it may take hours of waiting until Windows 7 poster updates are available. But don't worry - they are not that critics and you shouldn't worry so much for them.

  I can offer a workaround is to:

  -Windows 7 update agent be manually updated to the latest version > > https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/kb/949104

  -Download directly from MS "April 2015 battery maintenance update" and install it manually

  > > https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3020369

  -Download Win 7 convenience roll update and install it manually

  > > win x 64

  This update package, which combines updates dating all the way back to February 2011, is not be made available in Windows Update. If you install a Windows 7 system from scratch, you will need to go out of your way to download and install it. If you do not, Windows Update will download and install the updated way on day one by one, the slower, more tedious.

  You have now all the updates of Windows 7 since its initial release until may 2016

  After that, you try to install the new updates.

  I hope it works for you. Let me know how it goes.

• Problem installing KB980408 - set up the parameters for custom: Windows Desktop Update

  After installing KB980408, the computer restarts, goes through the normal boot process, displays the Windows logo, and then goes to a black screen with a window:

  Custom settings

  Implementation of the custom settings for:

  The Windows Desktop Update

  and stay on it indefinitely (4 + hours so far). Moving the mouse on the screen shows the circular cursor "wait", and I am able to move the window around; I am also able to start the Task Manager and restart, but that's all.

  So I thought another reboot may solve the problem, but it doesn't... it keeps just hung to this window.

  No matter who else affected by it, or have solutions to try?

  I had this same problem on both machines. During his connection, this behavior began immediately after the KB980408 update has been installed. The solution I found is to ctrl + alt + delete, start taskmgr and kill the task of custom settings. Then you have to manually run explorer.exe (file--> Run--> Explorer.exe) and windows should load as usual. The next time that I rebooted and logged in Windows loaded as usual. I'm guessing that this problem is a "run once" task. However, updates are not supposed to make your computer more stable?

• Windows 7 update stops at 61%

  Hello, I would just ask something on my windows7 update, it automatically downloaded 18 upgrades for my pc but once I restarted and updates began to set up, the process stops at 61%, right on the start screen.

  Ive tried to reset in the middle of the configuration, which is clearly a bad move because windows tells me to do not turn off the power during Setup, but when I got to a point that windows prompted update failed, and coming back from changes, the process stops as well.

  Fortunately, Ive found a way around it and used the system restore, my pc seems fine now but I wonder if someone could give me a reason that if it never happens again.

  is there a problem on downloaded updates, or is there something bundles with my system with updates. Thank you in advance.

  HI - other update of me... Despite the fact that he seems to hang 61% updated for literally 3 hours the PC finally to restart and restarted successfully. Sound never take this before, but all except one time, updates appear to have loaded successfully. So maybe the message is, if this happens to you, be very patient and keep faith in the amazing power of Windows 7 recovery!

• Windows XP update ruined my laptop. It lights up!

  I connected my powered by USB external hard drive to my laptop Dell Inspiron 5150 several days before and noticed that he does not have enough power to turn on and be recognized by my laptop.  I noticed Windows update 'shield' icon down in my Windows Xp taskbar in the buttom right corner telling me that I have an another Windows XP update downloaded automatically, I need to install.  It seemed that the downloaded Update deploys Windows XP saying my laptop to turn off USB power.  I didn't install the update at the time.  I just wanted to open my external hard drive and access my files.  So I tried to stop my laptop and restart it.  I went in the beginning--> Shut Down.  As Windows XP tried to stop, I am one of those that always too familiar "running the program" dialog boxes and you are given the option to 'End now' or 'Cancel '.   That one was about power management.   I chose end now and got the "closing Windows...» "screen.  The laptop sitting right here on this screen.  I look forward and be maintained on the power button to force it to close so that I can try to run to the top to try to get to my files in my external hard drive again.  But when my laptop goes off, I can't turn it back on again.  I kept pressing the power button, but it will not only turn on.  I kept pressing the power button, but nothing.  My cell phone was dead.  Then, after some time, when I was ready to give up, I tried the power button one last time and he finally turned on and started to the login screen and I was able to connect.  When I plugged my external hard drive this time, he did get enough power from the USB to be recognised by my laptop.  I was able to get the files I needed.  I thought that the problem itself.  I use my laptop for a few days.  Today, I tried to turn on my laptop, but you have the same problem.  It lights up.  This doesn't seem to be a hardware problem, because I was able to turn on the laptop once after close the forced.  This suggests that Windows XP has been playing with my BIOS of laptop computers, while he was taking so long to stop.  So is it possible to fix this?

  Hello

  It could be a problem with your power adapter. I suggest you use another card and see if the problem is resolved. To get help, I suggest you to check with the manufacturer of the system.

  Thanks and regards.

• Windows Vista - update stuck windows verification of updates

  Tried troubleshooting, but check the updates going on for hours without success. Someone help please?

  Hi David (Rollo) Jones:

  Many of SP2 for Vista and Win 7 SP1 users currently have the same problem.  Most of the users in VistaForums thread windows update just seems to hang when checking for ScousaJAY found that 'updates...' will be finally completed and the report that the updates are available for download if you leave Windows Update running for several hours.

  Because this does not work for you, see the step-by-step instructions posted on 16 June 2016 wire m #l's updates does not, he has been looking for updates for hours.

  These instructions are based on the instructions on the page Web of Dalai Search for Windows Updates takes forever?-a possible solution http://wu.krelay.de/en/ and take you through the process of finding a Windows kernel-mode driver (Win32K.sys) updates currently absent from your system, download the standalone update packages (.msu file) from the Microsoft Download Center and pre installation of these missing updates (in order from oldest to the most recent) before running Windows Update in order to install your remaining updates.  This work around usually decreases "checking for updates..." a few hours to ~ 20 min.

  If you have completely connected from may 2016 there should be only a lack Win32K.sys update - KB3161664 - you must install before running Windows Update to install remaining this month dozen or so June 2016 Patch updates Tuesday.

• OfficeJet Pro 8100: Lost my printer drivers (after a Windows 10 update)!

  Hello

  After the recent Windows 10 updates (one installed on Christmas day), I lost my (custom installed) to the printer drivers. No big deal I thought, ONLY MIcrosoft MOST inconvienience - I'll reinstall just them. But when I open the properties of the printer Panel, I found that ALL ADVANCED TAB where I needed access to reinstall drivers is now GRAY and completely unaccessable! I not only lost my custom drivers, I also lost my second tray of the printer (installed optionally) capacity! YES, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  Now I need help to reinstall (they gave me specific instructions for installation, so I won't bumble worse trying to install them differently (as a regular driver) without confirmation first.)
  This is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of why we should be allowed to choose for outselves when and what updates to install on OUR computer! I checked the Windows Update history and there is NOTHING there that would strike even he would have had to change printer drivers, nor I anthing that would affect them being changed (for example, allowing control HP from my PC to automatically updated drivers), but clearly something changted them.

  What I HAD... I use a printer Officejet Pro 8100 bought two years ago February next with the option second tray of the installed printer. I also use Officejet 8600 drivers in order to be able to print my graphic files properly (these drivers were recommended on this forum once I have posted having problems printing after the first installation. These drivers worked PERFECTLY in all of my PC (running Windows XP, 8.1, and 10), but now with the missing options, everytting is printing through the upper status bar (where I have a THICK paper). I don't have the ability to choose which try to print (Tray 1 or 2), and I need to change paper whenever I want to print on different paper (I always had a THICK paper on top (Tray 1) and plain paper in the lower part (tray 2) because it would not print thick paper from the tray at the bottom.

  To use the 8600 drivers, I was given specific instructions (on this forum) on install in the section "NEW DRIVER" of the ADVANCED TAB in the properties of the printer. Now that I don't have access to this tab, I need to know if there is a way to access new (my preferred method) OR another way to install (for example just install them as if I would install the printer (8600))?

  It's free enough explainatory tab FULL area is GRAYED OUT, but in case there are any doubts, I have attached is a screenshot showing what he looks like.

  I apprecate any help you could offer.

  Kind regards... Chugbug

  

  OK, now it's really WEID!

  I tried during the last 24 hours to get to the Panel in question, including the restart of Windows at least half a dozen times without success.  But now tonight after that I dug around the different tabs, once again, INCLUDING clicking on through security and permissions panels (but not to make changes) AND for posting my question here, all in the advanced Panel was suddenly accessible once more!

  I reinstalled my 8600 drivers again, then reset my printing (default) preferences (paper 2 / plain plateau), and everything is good again (kumbaya...)!

  Good thing, I took a screenshot of it (grey) or I can't believe myself!

  Happy holidays!  Chugbug
