Method 1:
You can read the following article and check if it solves the problem:

You can back up data to an external hard drive and no CD. It is essential to back up data even if you do an upgrade on the spot.

Method 2:
 

You can perform a clean boot.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

Note: when you are finished troubleshooting, work step 7: to reset the computer as usual.

Method 3:

Temporarily disable the software antivirus (and any other security software) and firewall on the computer as a test and check if this solves the problem.

    After restart my Asus X55oE due to necessary updates, I got «default configure features windows.» Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer. After reading several messages through other forums, I turned it and then turn again only to receive the same screen.

I certainly do not happen again. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

  • "failed to set up the windows updates. returning from changes. do not turn off your computer.

    Hello

    I get this error "failed to configure windows updates. returning from changes. do not turn off your computer. The computer is a Samsung Ativ tab 5 and I got it for a little over a week.
    I have updated with the SW update
    The results of the troubleshooting online are:
    Problems encountered:
    Recent updates - not fixed installation problems
    Search for missing or corrupted - files detected
    Some security settings are missing or have been modified - fixed
    Registration for the service is missing or corrupt - fixed
    Windows Update error 0 x 80070490 (2014-02-10-t-11_25_11A) - fixed

    I have been through ALL the steps as described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358. I have had no success.
    One thing that bothers me, is in the configuration of the system, I have a service called true vector Internet Monitor (Zone Alarm) and when the value disable as in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135, it is the only service still running when you perform a clean restart. I don't know if this affects the Automatic Updates/configuration or not.

    Hello

    Thanks for trying to help. Now my computer seems to be up-to-date.
    I followed your steps but MicrosoftFixit50202.msi did not like "my OS is incompatible. I use windows 8.  I couldn't run this in default or aggressive.
    I did go in Control Panel and disable antivirus and firewall Zone Alarm and reset Windows defender by default.
    I did IE default web browser I have prob changed when I got to the computer.
    I then returned to set up a clean boot and this time I managed to disable the true vector Internet Monitor (Zone Alarm) to run.
    I ran the reset troubleshooting of Windows with the same result as before is to say:
    Recent updates - not fixed installation problems
    Search for missing or corrupted - files detected
    I think I have restarted my computer at this stage and then tried to update again.
    It has not yet, but with the error, I got an error code and a link to help. I don't have not noticed this before. I followed the help and ran about 5 command prompts that have to do with the renaming of files I think.
    Then I tried updating again and this time 38 45 updates succeeded. I then ran the update again and it seemed to work on the other 7 updates.
    Although Windows Update said I was now updated, I was skeptical as when this whole thing started is started when I got the "windows installs updates" and then "failed to configure updates. Returning... etc"then I restarted my computer. At the start, there was no message on try to configure the updates, then, how do I know they are configured and working as it should?
    Thank you.

  • Windows 8.1 message 'you could not complete updates, by undoing the changes, do not turn off your computer.

    Greetings,

    I installed updates in my Windows 8.1 partition.  Then he asked me to restart the computer, and the message "we could not finish updates, exchange loss, do not turn off your computer" appeared and was on-screen for hours.  I thought to reinstall bootcamp but I have software in the Windows partition that cannot be recovered.  I read that one of them starts Windows in 'Safe' Mode, but this is not possible. I use a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015) OS X 10.10.5

    How can I fix this without wiping the Windows partition and lose my software?

    Hi, I just refreshed my laptop that I got a few drops FPS at random. Initially, it worked fine, but after a while before instaled Norton started to cause me problems. At this time I uninstalled it and when he asked me to computer restatr now, I did. Now I'm stuck with this message window loading. Restart the computer from time to time, but the message is always the same: failure of configuration of Windows updates. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer.

    Seems that problem solved by itself. As I correctly uninstalled Norton, I just put my automatic updates and restarted my laptop again. He installed the updates with no problem and its working fine. Seems that Norton was really the problem, will keep you informed.
