Windows Vista Home Premium update problem step 3 of 3-100% complete

My Windows Vista Home Premium began the automatic update, reached the point of view "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-100% complete.". Do not turn off your computer. »

Now he's just running for hours with this screen showing...

I can't say if this update will end finally alone, or if there is a problem and I should just reboot.

How long should I wait before abandoning me and shut down the computer?

Thank you.

Hi JIB1955,

Thank you for visiting the forums of answers.microsoft.com.

It's been a while, we can think that the update is stuck and will not continue any further.  You can press Ctrl, Alt & Del and open Task Manager.  You should see the update on the Application tab, and you can select it and press end task.
Click on the start ORB > Control Panel > programs and features, on the left, select view installed updates and see if the update that was being Setup finished installing.  If it does not have and does not appear on the list, you can restart your computer and try to install the update mode without failure.

To do this, restart your pc and even if your pc is booting press the key F8 on your keyboard to enter the Advanced Boot Options menu.  On the Advanced Boot Options menu, select Safe Mode and press ENTER.
Your computer will boot mode safe by using only the basic drivers and services, hopefully allowing Windows Update to complete the installation of the update, you are having problems with.

Please let us know if you make any progress this way

    If your computer is pre-installed with Vista Acer use the recovery of manufacturing process ' e to reinstall Vista

    a your share product key entry is normally not necessary when reinstalling vista like that

    Contact Acer and buy recovery disks (see link below)

    or at startup, press Alt + F10 to start recovery process to factory settings

  • Windows 7 Home Premium update problems

    Dears Helpers

    About 6 months ago I bought a Samsung series 7 times. It came with windows 7 Home Premium.  When I bought the laptop, the seller told me that Windows has come with the ability to reformat itself in windows 7 again.

    The time has come to do and I checked out, but it turns outt hat it was only Samsungs Sste recovery. He had done an image and revenue to whom. Ok.

    After doing this, I went to the windows update, but it will not work. It just stays at the helm of 'Check updates' and after a long so that it says that it cannot be updated.

    Through the windows, I managed to download the "update Windows diagnosis", and having run it he managed to solve some of the problems that we found. I tried several times since then to update the windows but get the same problem again. Keep hecking for updates, it doesn't do anything.

    Could someone help me please. Normally I would just leave, but I would like to have updated and also because I recently bought a program that requires the .NET Framework Client Profile to run. The program itself provides the instalation but it will not be installed. I downloaded on the windows site, the .NET Framework Client Profile to try and install them separately, but that no longer works.

    Did I miss something or something goes wrong?

    I would be very happy for any help on this matter.

    Concerning

    R

    PS just one last question. This window comes with the ability to reformat itself?

    OK, please install KB3020369 first. Then try again.

  • Windows Vista (Home Premium) - updated this a blank page

    Hello

    I have 3 PC who exhibit the same problem. When I go to Windows Update, the window frame is displayed, but no information is displayed in it. The tank is completely empty and cannot be closed without ending the application in the Task Manager. To end the application in the Task Manager, the PC shows that expplorer of windows has stopped working and must be restarted.

    Any help how to solve this problem would be appreciated as all machines must be updated to SP2.

    I am also running ZoneAlarm Internet Security. Information about the recent updates that can cause this problem, if it is known would also be appreciated.

    Thanks, Jeff

  • Why Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit installs not Windows updates?

    I am not able to download and install Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit windows update.  This Gateway laptop has always been able to quickly and easily install the update by clicking windows update.  However, since the introduction of Windows 10 it has been a lot of your time trying to install updates.  I had this same problem with Windows 7 too.  Never before there was no problem for the two operating systems.  Installation of Windows updates has always been easy and fast without any problem.  Running the troubleshooting isn't good and hunting error codes has been unproductive.  What the hell is happening?

    Hi Joe Cool1:

    'Check for updates...' crashes and slow Windows updates currently affect the SP2 for Vista and Win 7 SP1 users, and I doubt it's a coincidence that Microsoft has ended mainstream support and only provides support for these two operating systems.  The evidence points more to a problem with the Windows Update Agent (WUA Vista, C:\Windows\system32\wuaueng.dll v7.6.7600.256 has not been updated since June 2012) and the problem tends to be more prevalent on computers with slower processors and a limited amount of RAM.

    There are step-by-step instructions posted on 16 June 2016 wire m #l's updates doesn't work do not, he has been looking for updates to the hours which should speed up Windows Update for both for Win 7 SP1 and SP2 for Vista.  The instructions were for users of Vista, so when you reach step 4 just use the appropriate links of Win 7 on the page Web of Dalia http://wu.krelay.de/en/ (Win 7 x 64 if you have 64-bit Win 7 OS;) Win 7 x 86 if you have a 32-bit Win 7 OS) to download packages update stand-alone correct (.msu files) for missing Windows kernel mode driver (Win32K.sys) updates on your Win 7 machine.

Evertime I try to access the program, he returns with "task manager has been disabled by your administrator". I used different tools to remove malware and got rid of a lot of problems but still can not in Task Manager.

    Why can I get to "Task Manager" in my new account administrator and not the former?
    I still have malware in the old account or do I go into my registry and restore something?

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2.

    Is there a way to delete the records of 'detail' of only updates of failure or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

    I just installed hotfix for Windows (KB947821).

    It looks like a lot of my earlier 'failed' and 'Cancelled' updates are automatically updated and installed, and successfully, I might add.

    Some dates in some records do not seem much sense. I guess I'm looking for a way to select the records, I want to get rid of.

    Help?

    Hi Jeffrey,.

    It's not really a taken way in charge to remove only the cancelled or failed updates. These are taken from windows logs and displayed in the history. Steps that Jose post is a way to remove all files in history and will remove all updates as well as a failed/cancelled updates successfully.
