  Sometimes to restart Explorer, you can get out of this situation.  When you arrive at the blank screen, press Ctrl - Alt - Delete if all goes well a window will appear that allows you to choose 'Task Manager '.  Click on the Task Manager and when it starts, click on the "Processes" tab and then select the file-> new task.  When that window comes to the top, enter "Explorer" in the box, and then click 'OK '.  I hope that your screen will then fill.

• Cannot get Windows Update to download updates continuous Error 0x80072EFD

  System is running Windows XP Home SP3. I tried all that in the article above and still can not get Windows to date. Microsoft Fix - it that starts automatically when you will allow you to join the article don't fix things not be and it gives me the same error code 0x80072EFD as the update of Windows. I can install updates from the Windows Update Catalog, but I can't just Windows Update to work. During execution of the controls in the article when I typed in Sfc.exe a Black Madonna window appears and disappears. There is Norton on that computer that causing Internet Explorer do not allow access to the internet and the Norton Removal Tool has been used to remove it. Immediately I could access the internet but when even could not get Windows Update to download updates. I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and still no help. I installed AVG and it finds several viruses on the computer, they were removed and still nothing with Windows Update. I even tried turning off AVG and nothing helped. Help! Frustrated.

  Ok...

  And how did you determine that the computer is no longer infected (i.e., by whatever it is)?

  What is now the computer state to Windows Update?

• Windows updates will not be installed.

  I had to run a System Recovery on my PC running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  I got the disc that came with the computer.  As I did the reinstall, I was not able to update windows.  The procedure starts normally, but nothing else happens.  The Strip-light continues to Flash throughout the night and nothing seems to have been downloaded.  I'm sure there are hundreds of updates available because most of them had been downloaded over the years, I got the computer.   Can I do to fix this?  I used the backup files I did before running reinstall it.  Nothing did.

  Go here.  It works, but be very careful to follow the instructions precisely as written.

• Windows Update will not start work until I run the update utility.

  Original title: Windows 8 - Windows Update

  I have a desktop with Windows 8.  Pre-installed - computer is 1 year.

  Whenever I run my Windows Update to download/install updates - it always shows as downloads but it comes in fact does nothing and just "of the acts' as is the download but nothing happens.  Then I run the windows update convenience store (in Control Panel) and he told me that the problem is "fixed".  So I run windows update again and it works.

  But the next time it's the same thing as above - doesn't work - run the troubleshooter, and then it works.  I need to run the troubleshooter and to resolve the problem, almost everytime before the windows update will work.

  How can I get a permanent fix?
