  Update Windows stuck in a loop. Keeps trying to download page 3 of 3, but never does, then restarts and is trying to download. Can't stop the loop to try something else.

  The operating system is Windows Vista.

  I found this as a solution and to share it here, I still have questions, but thinking might help someone.

  Windows Vista and 7 update Reboot Loop Fix

  Symptom: You have a update that is causing Windows Vista or Windows 7, stuck in an infinite loop. The problem usually manifests as a "step 3 of 3:0 % complete...". "followed by a restart which starts at the exact same message, not allowing you to get on your account of connection or a desktop at all. It's a pain, and he doesn't stop, even in Mode without failure or advanced trying last good known Configuration in the start menu.

  Here is the short version for people who know how to get to tools to do this and if run System Restore from the installation DVD does not work: DELETE files

  \Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.XML AND (as applicable)
  

  \Windows\WinSxS\pending.XML and the infinite loop update will be set.

  There are two ways to get the files, you need to delete. The easiest is to start your installation of Windows and the button 'Install now' DVD, click on the link located at the bottom left that says 'Repair your computer' open a command prompt and type:

  del C:\Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.xml

  del C:\Windows\WinSxS\pending.xml

  The other way is to download a live Linux distribution such as the System of Tritech Service (which, unlike Vista or 7 DVD, can be booted from a USB flash drive for computers with no CD/DVD drive such as netbooks), open a command prompt, mount the file system and deleting the files. Assuming that your Windows installation is the first partition on the first hard disk, the following commands in rxvt or a console in the Tritech Service system should work:

  Mount.NTFS - 3 g/dev/sda1/mnt/sda1

  RM /mnt/sda1/Windows/*/cleanup.xml /mnt/sda1/Windows/*/pending.xml

  umount/mnt/sda1

  Anyway you do it, this solution will stop the engine update loop reboot and let you return to your computer. You may need to make some corrections, additional or manual updates if you have problems, but unless your login screen and/or the Office should be accessible! Is a very annoying problem and I noticed that Google is looking for things like "stage of vista 3 3 restart" usually only provides information about how to run the system on a Vista DVD restore. Unfortunately, if there is a problem with an update, sometimes the system restore does not work and fail with obscure errors, so this info is vital.

  Maybe it's your last chance to avoid giving to the top and reinstalling Windows, and we always like avoiding relocations!

• Windows Update stuck at 'Check updates'

  Original title: Windows Update stuck

  I had to recover my laptop windows 7 back to out-of-box state system. Once presented to my office, I immediately went to Windows Update to install all of the updates that I needed. After installing SP1, and restart the computer, windows update to update the update agent, so he could get some more updates. He said he would close and re - open Windows Update, which she did, but now it is stuck on "check updates".

  The update that broke the update of Windows was "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320"

  I have since made a recovery of the system to the State out-of-box three times and each time "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320" installs Windows Update is stuck saying "check updates".

  I did tons of attempts to solve this problem, but it won't find more updates and I can't install more updates.

  I have also experienced problems with Windows Update still looking for updates when Windows Update 7.6.7600.320 has been installed automatically after the system update to SP1 (it was after doing a clean install of Windows 7).

  The following worked for me:

  1. manually installing KB3083710

  2. manually installing KB3102810

  3. restart the computer

  4. run the Windows Update Diagnostic tool to reset Windows Update (support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058)

  5 restart the computer again and search for updates

• Upgrade Windows 10 stuck at 'Check updates'.

  Recently, I started the download for Windows 10 using 'media creation tool. When the Setup program is started, it got stuck on "check updates", it's over an hour now and it is still stuck at 0%. What am I supposed to do?

  

  There are actually two options in creating media tool:

  • Update this PC now: Automatic Download, Installation.You don't need to do anything. You try this option.
  • Create an installation media for PC:Download an Installation file. When downloaded and opened, you find a setup.exe to run the Inplace upgrade. Make sure you only download the installation media according to your system.

  Windows 10 ISO download - Windows 10 Forums

  Use method 2 from here and follow as said.

  Use the recommended options for this PC check that you use the ISO to improve the current system. Skip step 6.

  Then after the download is complete, you must run the Setup program to upgrade your system. This is the guide:

  Method 7/Step 7 must be followed.

  Uncheck the get the latest updates for Installation (select yet) in the first screen, which would skip this step.

• Windows Update stuck with 'Check updates'

  Separated from this thread.

  I have also the same problem rmahmud28 is seen except mine is Windows 7. He is stuck with 'Check updates' and I've already updated the Windows Update Agent. I tried some other stuff, like your FixIt tools, but nothing.

• Update Windows, stuck at step 3 of 3, does not start

  Hello

  Reading the forums, so it seems I'm not the only one who had this problem, but none of the data seems to work for me.

  My computer is running slow this morning (as sometimes when he treats a large update), so I restarted.  But now, whenever the system tries to start, it gets insofar as the message 'configuration updated step 3 of 3, 0% ' before it restarts in total.

  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium - I think that it is 32-bit, but I'm not positive.  I have a laptop HP Pavilion DV6345us.

  I tried all suggested fixes, I found.  I tried to launch the Mode without failure (all versions of it), but every time it's the same thing.  I've never had to simplified office, I think I'm supposed to see.  I tried the system restore, but none of the dozen or so restoration work points.  After each attempt to restore the system, I get this error message: data error (Cyclic Redundancy Check) (0 x 80070017).

  My last update was added on 06/05/10 at 09:16:38.  My last update before that was 05/03/10 at 14:31:18.  My time zone is set to GMT - 8:00 (or Pacific time).  Between the Windows updates, I downloaded an update for Java (Java 6 update 20) 04/05/10.

  I have also run the memory diagnostic tool, but that has not changed anything.

  I do not have any third-party malware or anti-virus software.

  This is all the relevant information, I think I can give.  Any comments would be greatly appreciated, because I use my computer for work and need again as soon as POSSIBLE.

  Thank you!

  I do not have any third-party malware or anti-virus software.

  Not good.

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

  How TO do a clean install of Vista: See the section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation... "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  Tip: After getting the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

• Windows 7 Home Premium, stuck in the update cycle

  My machine has been ask to update Win 10 for a while, but my computer office contributed to discourage users of the upgrade due to some problems (is my home PC, but I sometimes take care of office on this subject) software testing.

  A few days ago the process of upgrading to win 10 go really emphasizing and somehow automatically upgraded my machine (?).  I used the option to "return to my previous version" and I was apparently to Win 7 again.

  However, the machine insists I have pending updates and asking and sometimes restart, trying constantly to update, but nothing happens.  10 minutes after the restart he wants to do it again and again and again, like the groundhog day...

  I tried the Fixit and up-to-date diagnostic routines, but neither changed anything at all, even after several attempts.

  I read this thread here:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-update/Windows-7-64-bit-update-problem/58ba13c1-6635-411b-84CD-f1fa1fd060e1

  and did the sfc/scannow, who found nothing.

  I put the automatic update and wait for time to pass, nothing happened but she wants to always restart and restart and restart.

  My update log is displayed here:

  http://1drv.Ms/22ckODq

  any help is appreciated.  I willing to go to win 10 if that solves the problem, but the upgrade program to win 10 guard starts just the same reboot to install cycle updates!

  I hope that you don't have to re - install.  Of reading woody materials on this issue and it can help you.
