windows update (windows 8) stuck at "downloading updates, 0 percent.
Ive left for 5 minutes now and all I get is the following: http://imgur.com/vAIxmpA
Don't know if this will help anyone having the same problem, but I suggest you to be patient. Just to be clear, not while you wait for an answer here from someone at Microsoft, who actually understands the question, but as he tried a first time Windows Update on a new machine.
I just ran WU for the first time on a new machine and had the same problem as Freddie and Jas. After about 15 minutes, I started to google and ended up here. Then I followed the link given in Karthik's "method 1" above, to see that there is a dead link.
Then I went to google others and happened at a glance to the new machine, in this time of 20-25 minutes after the start of WU, and here, it 'preparing to install' and is now, as I type, installation updated 23 73.
What I suspect, is that the download progress is not reported, so it indicates 0% until all updates have been downloaded, which could take some time for a new machine for the first time, according to your connection speed and how many updates are currently running WU.
I would say at least an hour before giving up if nothing happens.

What can I do to keep my office on and not Virgin?
Restore point:
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
See you soon.

I did Boot Camp with 8,1 this system successfully but the upgrade of Windows 10 dorked BootCamp upward when it is added to the system partition. Has had a lot of work, but ultimately got all partitions disappeared and I tried Boot Camp and got it. I erased the disc and then reinstalled El Capitan sweet factory without bringing more parameters. Now, I still get the same error?
I tried a few sizes of ~ 50 to 170 G with no luck. It's on a MBP 2016 15 "with retina, 512G SSD, 16G RAM, GPU display.
Any suggestions? Troubleshooting? I can't yet find/say if this thing creates something useful for a log file or?
1. you download Windows Support software on a wireless connection? If so, try a connection cable, if possible.

Windows 7 stuck loading at the Welcome screen
-Loading of Windows 7 stuck on the Welcome screen
-Only works on Safe Mode, safe mode with network works well
-Starting repairs na not
-I don't have a Windows 7 CD or the HP recovery CD
-I've never had viruses or malware or connect USB drives for this laptop
I got a blue screen down yesterday (no external connected device), after which Windows does not go beyond the loading screen. I have not installed the new drivers and programs recent. The last thing I've updated some Adobe applications ended a month ago but my latop working well at all until this blue screen suddenly. It is also the first blue screen crash in like 2 years.
What has not worked:
Start by using last good configuration, under the main boot menu
Uninstalling the drivers I thought to be the cause, in safe mode
Msconfig: Disable everything under services and startup
PROMT command: Sfc/Scannow
My system does not display the restore points
However, I found restore factore default but that's the last thing that I want to try because I have to do my music and adobe production apps back will cost a lot of time and data.

OK, the details of installation below, so when I try to compose an email, I just get a new message window icon stuck in windows

problem installing Windows while trying to download itunes
I am trying to download itunes and I always get an error to Windows Installer. I tried all of the corrective actions; uninstalling, reinstalling, revo, etc.. I don't know what to do now.
The computer is an Acer. Windows Vista. 32 bit OS. x 86.
Trying to download ITunes 9. I was able to download fully on computer, but the application would never open. The tab on ITunes has had an error in it. Could that cause problems with it? Started having problems with it when I updated about a month ago.
Please can someone help? I think maybe I should just clear everything and start over with my backup disks. I don't mind what to do if someone thinks it will work.
Thank you
Kim
Download, install and run the Windows Installer cleanup Utility at: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility-Download-18442.html and then try installation again to see if that helped.
If that doesn't work, put the installation on your desktop icon and right-click on it and click on run as administrator and see if that makes a difference.
If not, request the assistance of the technical support forums and iTunes at: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ and http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
