Windows Update has failed. Don't want to not brick it. Need help

I just received my Revo RL80-UR23.  WIN8 booted up fine.  Went to get the usual windows updates.  All 102 of them (~ 1 GB).  Clicked on install.  During the installation of 99%, he failed and spent several hours back to before the updates.   For a while there I thought I was going to be stuck.  He would not return back and what I would do if the boot has been altered.

Fortunately he finally did come back, but it made me think that better, I have a backup plan if this happens.  This documentation on Acer is thin.  Can anyone answer a few questions?

  • If the if the unit does not start what can I do?

  • With Windows 8, you may want to upgrade to Windows 8.1. The upgrade stream can be found here: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/update-to-windows81. This is the suggested method and wrote for all of our units, we tested and customers to my knowledge. I recommend this updates a few at a time and not all at once. It is recommended to install only the critical and recommended updates first.

    If you want to try another operating system, you must create your Windows 8 USB recovery media.

    You can access the UEFI/BIOS by pressing the delete key when you do a cold start. You can also access it from inside Windows by following these steps: http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27103.

  • 10 Windows Update has failed, restored for Windows 7 - cannot open existing files

    Oh boy, am I ever stressed.

    My update of Windows 10 failed today (error: failure of page in nonpaged area).  I will have that later - my immediate problem is that when the update failed and stopped, it is automatically reduced to Windows 7 and all of a sudden I can't get all my Word or Excel files.

    More specifically: I can't open my files in Word or Excel, except those saved on the desktop.  Desktop files open fine, but whatever it is saved in a folder or other location does not open.   Other types of file open: photos, Photoshop, PDF, apparently everything opens without a problem.  For Microsoft Office files, I get the following messages:

    For Excel:

    Excel cannot access "File Name.xls". the document may be read-only or encrypted.

    and

    "File Name.xls" are not accessible. The file may be corrupted, located on a server that is not responding or read-only.

    For Word:

    Cannot open the document: user does not have access privileges

    Possible Note:

    1. I registered normally (as an administrator).

    2. when I right click on the file and look at the properties, everything seems normal (read-only is not checked, and the location of the file looks correct.

    3. I tried to pass a doc to a folder on my desktop.  It says that I have to give permission to the administrator.  I am able to click on the button 'continue' admin, the file is moved to the desktop, but still does not open.

    Any advice would be welcome!  I'm not a computer expert, and I desperately need to access my documents.

    So I clicked 'Add', typed the username- desktop\user name in the subject box, and then clicked on "Check names", then press the OK"" button.

    And now, the file opens.

    I'm sure there's a better difficulty out there, I don't know what it is.  Whatever it is, I can access my files now.

    You have made the right choice. It is essential that the specific user or group 'everyone' has full access to the file or folder. The alternative would be to use the console commands. They require a good knowledge of administrative tools.

    Be sure to mark my suggestion as "Response" to this topic.

    A1. Yes, as much as you need at every update of safety critical other.

    Note that the vulnerability being patched (e.g., MS12-004) requires KB2598479 and KB2631813 to install! IOW, your computer is still vulnerable to the exploit if if KB2631813 is not installed.

    A2. Your computer 'loved' KB975562 (which is replaced or replaced by KB2631813), so it should also 'like' KB2631813.

    Acrobat 7 is not supported and an older version of Acrobat.

    Also, it is not compatible with Windows 7.

    This could be the reason why you are faced with it.

    Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista

    Read the tutorial above on how to change the way you receive updates.

    Vista offers four different methods for how Windows Update updates your computer. Below, we explain each method and when this is the recommended setting.

    Install updates automatically (recommended) - if you select this option, then all the critical updates will be automatically downloaded and installed on your computer. These updates will install at the time, you specify the fields to install new updates. This is the recommended option for the majority of people because it ensures that you have all the critical updates installed automatically on your computer.

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Vista will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    Never search for updates (not recommended) - if you select this option, Vista never automatically checks updates. This option should never be selected as it puts your computer are likely to be affected, infected or hacked
