Windows Update HP Pavilion g6 8.1

Do not know if in the right section for this question

I was wondering if someone can help me (not the computer mind at all)

My HP laptop is out of warranty so don't know if I can still use this forum.

I get a message window 8.1 update that I don't really want to do as I've heard good and bad in this regard. What I have to do this, or is it possible that I can stop the Dungeon of the upcoming message.

Hi @shedeval ,

Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I looked into your problem with your HP Pavilion Notebook g6 and I was wondering if you need to update to Windows 8. 1. I understand your hesitation to do the update. It will be something you need to address. You can postpone it for a while, but it will be done as it has updates that are required for the Windows System. Microsoft gives a date of 2016. If the update was not done you won't get support from Microsoft. Here is a link if you want to read up on it.

Now that being said to be honest, I didn't update either. So I've been sitting on it and see it. My granddaughter just used my laptop and she appeared and she did, cause it's from Microsoft. Other than to take some time, the only difference I noticed is that there is now a start button.

Hope this helps to answer your concerns.

Thank you.

  • HP Pavilion DV7-4150: 10 Windows update fails on HP Pavilion DV7-4150

    Hello

    10 Windows Update crashes after 87%, so I have to turn off the laptop and the system becomes always restored to Windows 7.

    Is there someone who has improved the Pavilion DV7-4150 to 10 Windows? How?

    I installed all the updates with the HP Support Assistant HP and all Windows 7 updates I can get. I have the most recent BIOS F.29, but also the BIOS F.12 F.13 and F.23 do not work with Windows 10.

    In my view, the problem is the old BIOS HP. Is it a BIOS compatible for HP Pavilion DV7-4150 get worked with Windows 10?

    Please HP, is a big job for you, please deliver us a new BIOS for Windows 10 job!

    Thank you, always HP - Fan.

    Allways_HP_Fan

    Sorry, but HP has shown no sign that it grows some BIOS updates for older machines.  I have a HP DV6 and the update in 2011.

    I came across similar problems with my HP DV6 - it would always block partially through the update, and then I do a factory reset to get it working again.

    What DOES not work for me has been an own-made from a USB key, created installation using the latest version of Win10 obtained by using the tool of creation of MS Media: 10 Windows Installer by using the tool of creation of media - Windows help

    However, BEFORE that, be sure to read this thread on greating the genuineticket file, because you will need to activate Win10 after installation: Clean install Windows 10 directly without having to first upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

    Good luck

  • Will be not updated for Windows 7 - HP Pavilion P6 - 2107C

    Hiya - user of HP of long date, first time poster.

    I got the HP Pavilion P6 - 2107C for a couple of years now - but not * time * I I've never been able to perform a successful Windows Update.

    I bought the unit new to the Club of Sam and - plug - I came to update immediately once I had hooked him.

    Problem is whenever I try an update to Windows 7, it says 'do not turn off - we're updating' and then crashes to all update, 32 or 64 or somesuch.

    Seems to be an update which is put on hold that I should avoid (that would be fairly simple) or that I always had a problem of PC.

    Opt for Occam's razor, I choose to believe the first description.

    I am fairly well oriented the courage and the operation of any computer - built a couple myself - but software, including operating systems, is rather out of my depth out of install it correctly.

    As it came pre-installed, I expected to work perfectly, but very disappointed that day.

    So, here's my question - y at - there anyone out there that can give me some advice?

    ANY guidance would be appreciated.

    Thank you, in advance!

    Dungeon of Windows updates fails on my Windows 8 HP Pavilion g6 updates first stopped loading at 13 per cent and failed, updated my printer driver, now the uploads do not reach 12 percent? Tried to "windows fixit" but who has been unable to download.

    I got it exactly the same problem last year. Finally, I went and asked the geek at Staples believe it or not.

    He told me to do the update "manually". and it WORKED! not the 1st time, but the 2nd time.

    Windows 8:
    Drag to the right of the screen and click on "settings".
    Then 'control panel '.
    «system & security»
    Windows Update
    'check' updates you want to install one, click on "install".

  • HP Pavilion DV6: Windows update search in infinite loop - works is not in Windows 7

    Hello

    I reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 7 Premium Edition on a HP Pavilion DV6 laptop after changing the hard drive failed. My first attempt at the time. After installing all the drivers I could find on the site of HP, I was up and running, but done Windows Update always looking. I tried all the advice, suggestions and driver downloads, I read it, but nothing works. Windows Update Standalone Installer cycles constantly as well. Almost everything I download to fix this problems requires stand-alone Windows Installer for installation. Coincidentally, Windows Defender does not update either.  Can someone help this newbie?

  • Pavilion dv7-4270us: Windows update doesn't stop searching for updates

    Thank you!

  • Pavilion G7 1355 A9Y70EA: windows update does not

    I had to do a complete reinstall of my windows 7 and even recovery if everything else seems in good condition, the function of windows update does not work despite my now do a restore complete 3 times and also executes all microsofts fix programs for this problem, also tried several fixes YouTube, but nothing works , are getting desperate now. He said only updates and the small bar just keep on crossing of forever with nothing else to be... Help...

    Thans for the answer, I understand what you say, it's just that, until I discarded the computer a few days before (by foolishly following a tip to youtube to speed up computer that has totally stopped it start) windows update worked very well and it has been since a windows 10 installation and a removal of windows 10 the next day a few months ago. The folder c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution/windows/download exist with only 2 files with names very long gibberish and it is only 15 kb and the other file is 39 k, which seems to be far big enough for any update. I was wondering if instead of the clean install from the recovery partition would be any different doing a clean install from the recovery disks that I did when I got the laptop? see you soon

    Made no difference with update disk and these 2 small updates are only updated Adobe and after 3 off straight, the bar is still meandering along, my update history shows only updates from 2012 when win7 was installed everything first... * beep * Microsoft!

    P. S.

    Yesterday, I decided I had enough and started to install windows from a download 10 earlier, but after it began, I thought "no you know you hated" so I canceled the installation. That's about 3 hours later when I went to stop the laptop it says close and install the updates, so, after 4 hours of installing updates 251 and restarted then installed another 41 updates, then again on the next closure, so basically, I think that the few installation the windows 10 made seemed to start updates to speed?

  • Pavilion G6: Windows Update is a mess...

    Hello

    For the last few weeks, Windows Update has become a total mess on my computer.

    Just to list the problems I encountered:

    1 - Windows Update service consumes too much memory.

    2 - when I try to download the updates, the progress at 0%/0kb

    3 - I was forced to completely stop the service in the Device Manager, in order to avoid that this a huge memory consumption.

    4 after not not downloading updates, the screen displays a message indicating that the configuration updates, before you stop... The same phenomenon occurs when starting upwards.

    As suggested by these 4 problems, everything is messed up. I don't know exactly what caused this problem and exactly when it happened... But its something that I just noticed.

    Can someone help me please to fix this problem and eventually determine the cause of it?

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    The only suggestion I can offer would be to run the tool from Microsoft Windows Update hotfix.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/troubleshoot-problems-installing-updates#1TC=Windows-7

    I had a big problem with Windows Update (would not download the updates), and after wasting hours trying to solve the problem by using the different suggestions I found (including the fix above tool), the only way I could solve the problem was to back up my files, and then reinstall the operating system.

    It takes sometimes more time trying to solve the existing problem, only from scratch with a reset to factory or clean install the operating system.

    Hello slbhattar,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand that you are having problems after that a Windows Update could not be installed correctly. I recommend that you use the Windows System Restore feature and restore your system to a point in time before that you did the update that caused the problem.

    Before you do the restore, I would recommend that save us your personal files. You can do this by following the HP support document: backup of files (Windows 8). This document will guide you in the backup process. I advise do you it just in case, but the Windows restore feature should not affect personal files.

    Now that you have your saved personal files, we can make the Windows system restore. You can see how to do this by following the HP support document: use Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8). This document will guide you in the process of restoration. Be warned applications or settings that you have changed by the date that you choose will need to be redone or reinstalled.

    I think that this will solve your problem with the update and allow you to go back to listening to your HP computer. Thanks for posting this topic on the Forums of HP. Have a great day!
