Windows Update crashes at startup

Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Ideas: Windows 7, install Windows updates KB2467023 and KB2393802 and freezes on the login screen, where he goes on to say: "before the computer, do not turn off your computer.

  • Windows Update
  • Freezes at "prepare your windows, do not turn off your computer."
  • I installed the beta version of Internet Explorer. There was an update for Internet Explorer 9, but thought that was the problem, so I removed the beta version. I am now in Internet Explorer 8, but Windows Update still crashes.
  • I already tried to start windows in Diagnostic Startup Mode and have even disabled all startup items, but that did not help as well. When Windows hangs at logon screen, I cold boot my system and restart mode without failure. Here, windows prompts me to this update of Windows has failed and does not change. It restarts after that and my computer works well but then again, in normal mode, Windows installs the updates again and invites me to restart. I'm back to the problem again.
  • Something to note is that I recently installed ObjectDock from Stardock. This is my first update after installation. But since I already booted in Diagnostic Mode and still Windows could not update, I have my doubts that ObjectDock is the issue here.
Help, please.

  • my windows Explorer crashes on startup

    First of all, I have a Dell Inspiron with Windows 7, he made a few updates as a couple of days, and now in the last two days, my windows explored hangs just for no reason, usually right start, before I even do at all, I even had several times manually just turned off the computer all together, all the world knows what he is It had not done before yesterday

    Hi Corey Guthrie.

    I see that windows Explorer crashes on startup. I'll help you with this problem.

    1. what security software is installed on the computer?

    2. are you able to boot to desktop screen?

    Method 1.

    If you are able to boot to the desktop screen, you can try a system restore and check.

    System Restore: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/system-restore

    Important: System Restore will return all system files not as documents, email, music, etc., to a previous state. These files of types are completely affected by the restoration of the system. If it was your intention with this tool to recover a deleted file to non-system, try using a file instead of system restore recovery program.

    Method 2.

    If you are unable to boot to the desktop, and then follow these steps.

    Step 1.

    Start the computer in safe mode and check if that helps.

    Advanced startup options (including safe mode): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    If you are able to start the computer in safe mode, you can restore the system to safe mode.

    Once you are able to get to the screen and the computer still restarts, then you can perform these steps.

    Step 2.

    A clean boot to test if any element of service or third party application startup is causing this issue.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 3 of article start normal to start.

     

    Step 3.

    You can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

    Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.

    Step 4.

    I suggest that you can exercise SFC scan and check if that helps. The SFC/SCANNOW command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    For more information how to make SFC / scan, please follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Try these steps and let us know the status.

    Thank you & best regards

    Sirot,
    It sounds as if there is something in the way of installation.  First of all, make sure that your system is free of malware\virus infections.  This thread has some great information on this topic: getting rid of malware.   If you do not find infections or even the question after removing them and then perform a clean boot , and then run updates.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • Windows Update crashes when looking for updates to install

    From: miranda

    I can't get more updates. whenever I do a search for updates the search bar continues to research, he never stops! and then I have to close the browser with taskmanager because clicking on the x freezes the browser.

    From: TaurArian

    If you have a wireless router: in the Security tab, verify that you are not blocking tool.

    Possible reasons: -.

    1 Internet Explorer temporary files corrupted.

    2. background Intelligent and service not started event log

    3 C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder is corrupted

    4. you need to re-registered some DLLs

    5. you may need to add Windows Update to the Trusted Sites Zone:

    6. the spyware.

    7. the third-party programs running in the background.

    8 ActiveX controls corrupted

    Suggestion 1: -.

    Deletion of temporary Internet files, cookies and history in Internet ExplorerTools > Internet Options > general

    You'll see Delete Cookies, delete files, delete history of

    NB: "delete all offline content", will remove all the files needed to browse websites offline.

    Restart and try Windows Update.

    Suggestion 2: -.

    1: Verify that the Background Intelligent Transfer Service is set to automatic and the status is started.

    Click Start, choose run and in the run box, type services.msc, click OK

    Locate the Background Intelligent Transfer Service service and click to select.

    Click Start, choose run and in the run box, type services.msc, click OK.

    Locate the event log service and click to select.

    Select properties, and in the startup type list, select automatic. Check the Service status is started. Click OK.

    3. register qmgr.dll and qmgrprxy.dll

    Click Start, choose run and in the run box, type regsvr32 qmgr.dll, click OK.

    Click Start, choose run and in the run box, type regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll, click OK.

    Proposal 3: -.

    It is possible that the contents of the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder has been corrupted, so try to rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution. Click Start, choose run.

    In the run box, type services.msc.

    Click OK.

    Right-click the automatic updates service. Click on stop.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium x 64: activation of the service Windows Update crashes my computer after upgrade RAM

    A few days ago I had two sticks of 2 GB GSkill RAM by mail. Here's the same brand, model and size as the pair currently installed (obviously). (Sticks alternate according to the specifications of the card from my mother)

    After you have installed the new RAM and the computer starts up, it freezes within about 30 seconds of connection. Before installing the new sticks, I had no problem whatsoever.

    My first thought is that I sit the RAM properly, then I go and reinstall it. I start, and the same thing happens.

    So obviously this RAM must be bad, right? When I take out news, not gel. Ah, but when I remove the OLD stuff and use new instead, I ALSO no gel. So maybe it is not the RAM.

    Then I reboot in safe mode. No gel. Interesting. I opened the window 'System' and it says "memory (RAM) installed: 4.00 GB ', which is correct." I opened CPU - Z, and it reports also 4 GB of memory. I run a few hours and have no problems whatsoever. So I say to myself, there must be either a Windows service or a 3rd party service is causing the issue and not the new RAM.

    I disable all services of 3rd parties and restart in normal mode. It freezes. OK, so maybe (though unlikely) I have a virus any (I say probably not because I have to) run the module additional firefox NoScript, and set to block all flash, javascript, xss, iframes, etc. - in other words, only allow to my whitelist and B) I have Windows Firewall and running McAffee and updated.). But I decided to first try Windows services for the hell of it.

    So I enable only the services that start in safe mode as my reference, disabling the rest via services.msc. I start normally and not gel. Great, then maybe it is a Windows service. I start which allows one service after another without any problem. I get to the bottom of the list and select the Windows Update service. Within literally 10 seconds my computer crashes. Large.

    As a validation test, I put all services back to the base line of safe mode and only allow Windows Update. I start normally, and again once it freezes.

    Another test of validation, I start with all normal, but disable Windows Update. Do not freeze. I'm going to start Windows Update. Yet once, it freezes for about 10 seconds. So clearly something is in place.

    As a third and final sanity check, I remove the new RAM and run a Windows Update. He finds a few optional updates, but not critical. My system is up2date.

    My only attempt to solve this problem so far was to backup all Windows Update DLLs (C:\windows\system32\wu*.dll, although I don't know if these are good) and do a scan sfc to replace them with copies of 'good '. It did not work.

    So my question is:

    Why cares Windows Update that I have 4 GB of memory installed?

    Thank you

    Jon

    1. I 'upgraded' from the RC of Windows 7 x 64 for Win 7 x 64 Home Premium.

    2. I use McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7.0i, DAT version 6060, Scan Engine 5400.1158

    3 No.

    4. No, I put together this computer myself.

    ______________________

    To answer my previous posts:

    I think the USB storage is a separate issue. And.

    I think I * may * have solved the problem of origin with one or more of the following (don't know who):

    • Updated the software of the chipset of the card from my mother.
    • Updated HD Windows audio drivers to the recommended ASUS (Realtek) HD audio drivers
    • Updated since Windows installed NVIDIA display drivers for version NVIDIA WHQL.
    • Increased my tRFC (refresh time of line) to 70 52 clocks clocks. Set my GSKILL DRAM voltage recommended by 2.1V. Off the SPD DRAM configuration (I read that ASUS is not entirely based on the SPD and can affect things on its own).

    I had WU for 20 minutes from writing this post without a freeze, so we'll see. (Previously, it would freeze within 10 seconds of turning on WU)

  • Windows Update crashes

    Running Windows 7 Pro (x 64)

    When I try to open Windows Update in Control Panel, it will not open. A "flag" Windows Update window will appear in my taskbar, but clicking just above brings the control panel.

    I was able to open Windows Update before I tried some things to fix this (edit: when I was able to open Windows before Update, it would freeze always upward after I clicked the button to install the updates - the rest of the system would be, but the Windows Update window was insensitive). What I did was run services.msc and tried to place the automatic Windows Update service (delayed) automatic - this change does not appear to have taken, however, as it is always set to automatic (delayed). I also tried to stop the service, but that has expired.

    The BITS service correspond to the following description: maybe I changed the startup type to automatic (that's what it is now worth, I remember more than the default value). The status of the service is listed as stopped, and when I try to start it, it gives me error 126: the specified module could not be found.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    EDIT: actually, maybe it is not frozen - instead, it's now fair to really take a long time to open, and each selection (like click to get information on the updates to install) takes more than 30 seconds or more. I'll try to update again and wait to see if anything changes.

    Also, I checked the history of update. The last update must be installed with success was the definition update Windows Defender (KB915597) 24/06/2010. All since then (and slightly before this date) failed. I can't give more details on what is the system may have changed because, apparently, the problem started months ago, and also because this is my girlfriend's computer; She did not notice that there was a problem until now.

    EDIT: OK, he supposedly started updated, but after the download/install progress window opens, it now seems to be frozen - it does not (the window cannot be moved, and the progress indicator is not animated) and downloaded/installed is stuck at 0 kb total/0% after several minutes.

    EDIT: I clicked back to the update of Windows and, for a while, the progress indicator was lively, but then he stopped again. Progress are still stuck at 0 kb/0%.

    I agree with my colleague MowGreen.

  • Windows Update crashes when activated

    My computer started as a Vista Machine.  When I got my free upgrade to windows 7 64 bit I started to have a problem of Hanger with in minutes of boot upward.  I traced the problem occurs only when the computer has internet access.  I traced it further the windows Update as a problem when it is disabled the computer crashes is no longer. Update disabled, I am not able to check or download updates from the Microsoft site.

    How can I know what is the problem or how I should do next to fix this?

    Hello

    Step 1: I suggest to enable windows update and then, check if the problem persists in safe mode with network. Send back the same.

    To use a safe mode with network option, follow these steps:

    a. restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
    b. use the arrow keys to choose safe mode with networking to Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and press ENTER.
     
    Step 2: Visit the section below and click the fix it button or try the steps underI would fix it myself.

    Step 3: Look for error messages in the event viewer. If you find error messages after return the exact error message so that we can help you better.

    Measures to check the application event log:
     
    a. Click Start.
    (b) in the search box type eventvwr.msc , and then on enter.
    c. now, click Application in the event viewer (local).
    d. now, looking for event log on the right side of the event viewer window.

  • Windows Update crashed my pc

    Hello

    After installing a recent downloaded file in Windows update and restarted the computer, and when Windows Vista is ready to load the files and all of a sudden a blue screen of death appears and automatically restarted again and again even in safe mode, I didn't install new hardware or something

    Hello Shintaro101,

    It would be useful to know what the blue screen message gives you in order to diagnose your problem. To understand this message, you should disable automatic reboot on option of the system at startup failure in recovery. This will be done in safe mode;

    Start your computer in safe mode: Press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure:

    • Click Start
    • Click on Control Panel
    • Click on system and Maintenance link.
    • Click on the System link
    • In the left pane, click Advanced system settings  
    • Locate the Startup and recovery area, click the settings button.
    • In the Startup and recovery window, uncheck the box to automatically restart.
    • Click OK in the Startup and recovery window
    • Click OK in the System Properties window
    • Close the system window

    You can now reboot your system and capture the error you get the blue screen. After that you take note of the error, please reply back so that we can help you.

    In addition, if you have already created a restore point, you should try the system restore. For the sake of space I refer you to the article about how to proceed.

  • Windows Update crashes frequently; requires restart

    I run Windows Update a bit now and then to stay up to date. However, WU was strange behavior for a while (months): sometimes it freezes with the window simply stay white and the cursor being the circle of waiting and sometimes it crashes when you click on the updates button control (once again the window is all just white). When this happens, I have to restart Windows - otherwise, I can't WU to work.

    The problem is that there is no error message and nothing in the newspapers - WU just freezes.

    I installed all the updates and keep my computer clean by regularly running anti-spyware and antivirus. This problem has existed for a few months now and I was not able to identify if I installed an update etc that might have caused this.

    I run Windows 7 Pro 32 bit, as an upgrade of Windows Vista Business. The problem WU is the only problem that I have.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you!

    PBylund,
    I would recommend that you go and try the option boot than dmw86 recommended.  After a clean boot, run WU and check that it works, then put your PC to sleep for a few minutes then wake him up and try to WU.  Also, before you try this, you must restart your PC and WU before testing and then talk the PC to verify that the problem is after coming out of sleep.  Let us know the results.

  • 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.

    I have a Windows 7, 64-bit, SP1.

    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.

  • Windows Explorer crashes on startup and cannot be restarted

    I have a laptop HP running on Windows 7 64 bit. I have not used in a week. The last thing I did was install shutdown and Windows updates. When I connect I immediately encounter a black screen with a dialog box indicating that "Windows Explorer has stopped working. "A problem caused blocking the program works correctly Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. The only option is to close the program. Another smaller dialog box is in the upper left corner. It is empty and says the settings customized on top. I can still run CTRL ALT DEL and go to the Task Manager. I try to manually start the Explorer, but the same thing happens. I restarted and start in safe mode with network and loads everything correctly. Don't know what is the next step or how to solve. Help, please!

    Thank you!!

    The problem might be this module:

    LoadedModule [50] = C:\Program Files\Synergy\synwinxt.dll

    In SafeMode with network go to the C:\Program Files\Synergy folder and right-click the synwinxt.dll and rename it to synwinxt.old

    Then see if you can start the computer in Normal Mode.

    The error that you are experiencing may be similar to what has been reported in the following link:

    In this link, the user has used ShellExView to disable the extension Windows synergy and synergy still worked.

  • Explorer Windows 7 crashes at startup.

    Hello
    I am facing the problem, whenever I turn on my pc, restart windows 7 starts there is an error crash windows Explorer close or restarts the program, when it is everything works fine, the error in the message box that says app crash. This happens whenever I start the pc.

    Hi Anas Ahmad Shah,
     
    You're welcome Anas Ahmad Shah.
     
    Now, you may need to check which startup item is causing the problem to occur.
     
    To do this, you may need to enable half of everything first to determine which application is causing the problem to occur the startup items.
     
    If the first half is not the origin of the problem go to the second half and activate the startup items and check.
     
    In this way, you would be able to determine which item is causing Windows Explorer crashing.
     
    Follow the steps in the clean boot article given in the previous post.
