Hello

I seems that I have a similar case. My laptop has stuck in the loop of reboot of windows 8. Unfortunately, I can't force my laptop to start the recovery procedure. I think I need some kind of installation or recovery from Dell support. Do you think that you can help me with this?

Looking forward for your reply.

  • Windows 7 goes into a loop of repair and does not start

    A very kind person (Frederik Long) tried to help me, but couldn't.

    A blue screen coated in white data flashes quickly and Windows 7 goes into a loop of repair.

    I tried all the lines in the form of repair, including orders bootrec.

    Nothing works.

    I then invested in Easy Recovery Essentials and that no longer works.

  • Whenever the self-repair launches, FF open a tab at clickvideodownload. Is - this malware?

    It's the URL that I speak;

      http://www.clickvideodownload.com/getting_started.php?od=23-7-15&cd=31-7-15&rid=d2c7c937be61244
    

    I think that this may be a malware site. I deleted the cache and cookies, but it keeps popping up randomly when I run FF.

    Finally, I blocked the outbound access to this URL, so that my computer cannot connect to it. However, I finally understood the 'random' trigger... it appears as an additional tab to my presets, each time I leave FF to connect to self - repair.mozilla.org!

    If I refuse this outbound connection request, I don't see this problem occurs.

    So, what FF does when he contacts "repair"? Is this tool reconstruction cookies and 'flash cookies' tabs or other metadata? How can I disable this "feature", or can you explain why I should not simply do a permanent rule of 'decline' for this connection?

    "July 31, 2015, Firefox has tried to establish a connection to self - repair.mozilla.org on port 443 (https)." The application has been authorized by the connection alert. »

  • Update Windows Vista Reboot Loop

    Hello

    I, like many others, have the problem that when you let Windows Update to install updates, I had in endless loop.

    I managed to do a system repair, two or three days in time and got the operating system. Don't think not too much, I restarted the computer after a day and it started installing updates again. Of course this has generated the same problem and an another system restore was performed.

    Now I have disabled the automatic updates until I can find a solution to this problem. I tried to download this update (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5639710d-dfbf-4527-806e-9a1634d0cc8e&displaylang=en), but it is said that it is not for my system.

    The computer is running on Windows Vista SP2 business English.

    Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Turn not updated off altogether; do it this way.

    Install them 1 at a time, to find the problem.
    It is the only way to know.

    Here's how to uninstall and how to change the update settings:

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

    > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

    When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

    > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

    See you soon.

  • Windows updates lead to Startup Repair whenever I restart

    Hello.

    This issue was irritates me for some time.

    It started when my Skype would not display the log in page, Skype was working fine before. My Internet Explorer 9 does not display pages. Therefore, I tried to get IE11 of Windows Updates. At this time, Windows Update does not work and I found out, I was missing the TustedInstaller.exe, so I had to copy a computer from my friend of the same type.

    Windows Update started to worked fine and checked for 147 updates for me to install (when I came to my computer, Windows Update has been disabled on the not to check the updates).

    I installed them, and when it asks me to restart, I go and do it. However, the percentage of "Configuration of Windows Update" was stuck at 15% (now it is stuck at 30%). Then restart my computer it asks me to start repairs. I do repairs and I think it worked. However, none of the updates to install. I try to update again, but start repairs continue to come back. I can restart my computer without doing the updates. But when I restart to make updates, start repairs.

    Hello Arjun,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft community.

    According to the description of the problem your computer stuck at startup repair after installing Windows updates. The question might be if there is a file system corruption. So I would say that you want to run auto repair before you reinstall the operating system. To perform the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    To run the Startup Repair tool, see the links below for more details:

    What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7

    Startup Repair: frequently asked questions
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Startup-Repair-frequently-asked-questions

    If the problem persists, try to run auto repair from the Windows recovery environment (Windows RE) using the installation media and see if it helps.

    When you use the recovery (Windows RE) environment to resolve startup problems, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Since you are unable to launch desktop and stuck on auto repair loop, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then perform an automatic repair. If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool.

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    I hope this helps. If the problem still persists, post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  • Out of the box Alpha stuck in the loop of repair

    Just got my new Alienware Alpha, plugged into the TV (Panasonic TC-P42ST60), and set up as usual, but after turning on it starts up to the Alienware logo then restarts, after reboot it gets captured it repair your PC loop, finally giving me the blue screen of troubleshooting.

    I tried to use system restore to factory Dell but it is always the case. When I try to start in safe mode, that it says windows need to finish to install everything first and then restarts.

    I managed to pinpoint the problem.

    I plugged the Alpha on an Asus computer screen, then he worked as usual, it seems that Alpha can't handle the EDID HDMI to Panasonic TV. I noticed at the start that he said 1080p@50Hz instead of 60 Hz and this was to launch Windows.

    I'm going to continue with the installation via screen Asus and I hope that force 60 Hz in display settings, so it does not work with the TV.
