Windows 8 shows a purple screen flashing after the start. I can't access the start menu and the desktop... How can I fix it?

It worked fine for a day. Then this happened.

Mine 8.1 flicking of screen between the office and purple screen constantly, occurred because of a Windows update that is has happened when I wasn't paying attention.

I just went into recovery menu taking into turning computer turned off and before you turn on the computer, press and hold the F8 key

-Press F8 all the time until the "Please wait" is displayed on your screen

- Then it will say recovery

-See Advanced repair options

Were able to:

-Troubleshooting

-Advanced options

-System restore

I chose a restore date before that I did my last windows update and then flew it worked.

Then I created a good restore point and reinstalled the update and everything was fine. I hope this helps someone.

I guess the update got initially interrupted either by loss or hiccups in the Wi - Fi or DSL and something do not go right.

    Hi @nazik_UA ,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question on your HP ENVY m6 Sleekbook and issues with a screen flashing after an update.

    Here is a link to put the laptop in Safe Mode. This occurs in safe mode?

    You can try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows 10.  Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

    Here is a document that shows how update the drivers that do not work correctly with Windows 10.

    If this did not help, you need to reinstall the operating system.

    I hope this helps.

  • Blue screen continues after the recent Windows updates - Update configuration 3 of 3 0%

    original title: blue screen continues after the latest updates of Windows

    Last Thursday while I was at work, an automatic update downloaded on my computer.  When I got home, the blue screen has increased and said "update configuration".  3/3.  0%.  Do not turn off your computer.  Well, keep the computer restarts and the same screen appears.  Over and over again.  At least 40 times.  Finally, I turned the computer off and when I turned it on... I hit 'f-11' and performed a scan on everything and everything was ok.  Then I did a system restore point to before last week and he ran.  When the computer is started again, the same "update configuration" screen always shows!  How to do the work to turn back normally?

  • You Tube is not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after the last update

    You Tube and other sites do not play video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after the last update for both. Adobe Flash works on other sites but not You tube and sites that can have embedded videos from You Tube, I'm not sure.

    Adobe Flash not crushed and no error message is visible. All that shows is a black screen for Flash video. Make a right click of the screen shows only a non-interactive 'a film has not loaded' and the clickable link to the home page of Adobe.

    I spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this, but none helped.

    I sent sad face, letting you know what I think of the last update for this reason which explains pretty much the same thing, as I have said here.

    I have no other info but if I had a form any entry and queries you I might be able to provide more.

        I think the Flash 12.xx is a phantom. I can't find it on my comp. Only 13.xx shows anywhere but on the Pugins page in Firefox.

    Weird. I have no idea why it does that. Your list of details of the system shows that 13.0.r0 Flash.

       About the .Js I cannot find a User.JS in the profile folder but ther is a user.bk and other files that have.json. Should I do anything with these? 

    If you don't, that's okay. Leave all of the files.

    Does disabling HA in Flash and Firefox work better for you now or even not playing it?

    Make sure your firewall is not something Firefox blocks.

    This happens in other browsers as well?

    The site appears your version of Flash player and your operating system?

    Here is what mine looks like

    bleedorange1998,
    Thanks for posting with us.  I suggest try to start safe mode and see if it works correctly.  If Yes, then you can start using the "last known good configuration."   If in Safe Mode, you have the same problem, you should run chkdsk /r and sfc/scannow.  Here are the instructions for these suggestions.  Post back with the results.
