  Change your Windows Update settings to NEVER.  Who will stop it immediately.  Then leave forever to keep it from MS to do what he wants.  You will then take the responsibility to do the Windows updates when they should be done once a month, a few days after the 2nd Tuesday.

  I advise my clients to refuse all updates in the WINDOWS which are not labelled SECURITY.

• Windows Vista Home Premium - please do not power off or unplug your machine. Installation of update 6 of 8... Stuck at this stage forever...

  When I closed, printing an update has begun to install.  I received this message:
  If please do not turn off or unplug your machine. Installation of update 6 of 8...
  Now, the system has been sitting here with no action for two hours.  What is my next move?

  Thank you.

  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.

  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.

  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.

• Vista Home Premium, is stuck on the message "Please do not power off or unplug your Machine." Installation of update 1 of 1... ». Now what?

  Recently, I applied the latest service pack for the 32-bit version of Vista and have had frequent accidents of Internet Explorer. Today, he seems to have done an automatic update (that he did, and did often in the 3 years I've owned the computer). But he is frozen on the screen that says do not do "power off or unplug... installation update 1 of 1. It's a little scary, and I don't know what to do.

  I ran windows defender scan yesterday and the system was clean. Basic security hang after about 2/3 of green square were lit.

  Of course, I write from another machine.

  Hi all, I have recently experienced some of the problems reported here: - Windows update doesn't work (stuck at 0% for the hours) - Windows cannot stop ("preparing to set up Windows. Please don't turn off your computer") - MSE is out of date - I can't unzip files - some programs no longer work - I just can't stop some services (like Windows update). It times out. etc... I have Win7 X 64, and the last update that has worked with success has been about 3 weeks ago. Thanks for your help!

  Very well.

• Windows 7 - configuration constantly at startup 'do not turn off your computer, updates configuration"

  This is a computer that is less than four months old.  It works very well - install updates and shut down.  Now I get the same message, but it seems closed - the morning I get the message yet configuration and never completes the process.  What is the problem.  I called the store where I bought the computer and they tried to tell me to Geek Squad, it's something I have to pay for.  I got a service contract, but he says it's to my hard drive, or anyone, that it is not covered.  Is there a fix I can do myself.  From what I've read it's not like this is an unusual problem.  Is this correct?

  mlpotast,

  Although you will see a message at the top of the page that article applies to 'use a different edition of Windows than the one you', he applies to Windows 7, then download andSave the Fixit, please -How to reset the Windows Update components?
