  Why my PC does not install updates? Although located to automatically receive my last update was February 2015 and all others have failed.  Although I tried to reset nothing help.

  Have also tried to download Windows 10 but computer spends all day looking for updates, but nothing happens.

  As its been almost a year that it is updated, you may be better off to backup your data and backup of your entire system, so you can get back to this point at least if something goes wrong. Then:

  Update your anti-virus software and run a full scan. Then download, install, update and run a full scan with Malwarebytesfree. Keep it free, no need to start a trial etc. Malware can be a cause of failure of the updates, the scan won't take long to run and should report something nasty, if its there.

  Then you can try the following:

  1 convenience store update Windows - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter

  2 system update readiness tool - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/what-is-the-system-update-readiness-tool

  3 components of reset update - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058

  4. check that "Windows update service" and "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" are listed and running according to the details in this article - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2730071 "

  If the above does not help, consider trying a 'repair installation system' - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html if you have windows installation discs, or a 'factory reset' (updated) If your PC came with no windows disk and was preinstalled. NOTE - in case backup your data and your system first in the form of data may be lost if something goes wrong, and data will be lost in the case of a factory reset.

  If you do not want to reinstall again, post back with more details, that is at least what is the error code when the updates fail? (find an update failed in "view history update", right click and click details.) Check a bit to see if the same error code. ). Then someone else can we hope to help more.

• Windows 8 Pro does not start after windows update updates for April

  Hello

  Pulled up to my PC this morning and was asked to install updates from windows update. Check the list, there are 11 important available updates. I have unchecked and hiding implementing Nvidia updated as I want to do the updates of my GPU myself. Installed the remaining 10, completed and has been asked to restart my PC.

  The problems starts here; I am more able to start windows.

  It is past the bios screen, shows the blue flag with a circle of rotation below and then... nothing more than a black screen and my screen goes to mode 'sleep'.

  I tried to start in safe mode minimum clean using a prompt (bcdedit/set {default} safeboot) repair my installation disk option, but it does not start even in safe mode.

  I run system restore turned on so that the option is not valid for me.

  The system is now check the disk for errors, but it seems to hang there as well as happens for more than 2 hours now...

  Any way that I can return the updates of windows on the outside? Any other suggestions than the reset of the installation disc?

  Spec: Evga x 58 classified 3, Intel Core i7 950, 2 x Geforce GTX 580 in SLI, 12 GB Corsair Dominator GT DDR3, Corsair Force 3 SSD 128 gb, Dell u2711 2560 x 1440. Win Pro 8 x 64, completely up to date with the latest drivers. PC worked perfectly up to this Point.

  Disappointed that the "major updates" Microsoft kills my work machine.

  Problem solved now and it was the update of KB2808735 who was / is the origin of the problem.

  I placed my SSD into another computer and was able to pull up in SafeMode off and remove the updates.

  Installed all the updates one by one until it chrashed again installing the update mentioned above.

• Does not install updates to Windows (office)

  installing not my updates to the window. It's a Word from microsoft, excel, powerpoint, and ect... I tried everything and nothing works.

  Hello Ccrandall22,

  Thank you for your message.

  We will try to install the updates manually:

  Go to the website from Microsoft downloads.  Enter the duration of the update (KBxxxxxx) in the search box and press ENTER. Click the link for the specific update, and then click the download button. You will get the option to run or save the download, Save to your PC.  Once the download has completed, you will get a run option, open the folder or close. Make sure that all other applications are closed and select the run option.  (If you close this window or need to try again to install, just go to the location of the file has been saved, and double-click the file.) This will start the process of installing again.)

  If the installation manual does not succeed the first time, try to disable UAC, then try the installation again. Click HERE to find out how to disable UAC.

  See you soon

  This thinkpad had Vista Home top. I bought the new hard drive to load a copy just bought Windows XP Pro SP2 top (.) After you install the new hard drive:

  1. I turned on the machine and inserted the Windows XP CD.

  2. the files on the CD (drivers, etc) started loading (in memory, I guess).

  3. then invited himself to choose if I want to install a new version of XP or restore an existing version.

  4. I chose to install a new version.

  5 then I got a message saying that Windows could not find a hard drive on my machine.

  6 then I rebooted and interrupted restarting to examine the configuration of the BIOS settings

• Windows XP Pro does not correctly load after the release of the Radeon graphics driver

  Hello

  I have a Shuttle XPC with Windows XP Pro and an ATI Radeon Sapphire graphics card. The entire system is 5-6 years, if that helps my raw description.

  My graphic card Radeon has had performance problems, so I downloaded ATI "autodetect tool" and he did choose the update of the driver concerned. After installation and reboot, my PC load Windows XP, but remains unused in ' grainy 8 colors low resolution version ' of my office. No icons, toolbar or whatever it is well visible. The mouse moves the pointer autour, but does not respond to clicks. The only combination of keys which gives anything is Ctrl + Alt + Delete, raise the usual options (in this case useless) to lock the computer, close the session, stop etc.

  In short, it seems that I'm not really on my desk, even if it loaded my wallpaper by default.

  'Safe mode' or "last working configuration" does not take me anywhere useful.

  How to contact with the system to at least start to change my settings for graphics cards?

  I thank very you much for any help.

• Windows Vista Ultimate does not install on Satellite M40

  Windows Vista Ultimate settles not on this laptop. Vista hangs after the installation and does not start. Someone knows what's the problem?

  Hello

  As mentioned above the hardware of the laptop must be compatible and must be able to manage the Vista. The M40 is certainly not Vista capable
  But I have installed Vista on the A50 and this laptop is no longer able to Vista but I upgraded the RAM and HARD drive and it works.
  Of course, the many features of Vista like Aero don t run but I was able to install it.

  Maybe the BIOS is not compatible with Vista! It is possible

• Windows 7 pro will not install on my desktop drive. It says I need a cd/dvd driver.

  Windows 7 pro install disc on my desktop PC.  It says I need a cd/dvd driver.  Of course my driver to work or I would not get that much. So which driver should I and where do I get it?  Or y at - it another way around this?  I'm currently running Vista.

  It seems that your installation media is corrupted or the copy of Windows 7 Professional allows you to create a bootable copy is corrupt.

  Try to get a new copy.

• OfficeJet 6500 has windows 7 Pro, does not print black

  Black is not printing, the colors are OK.    Changed the black cartridge for a new a (genuine HP!), no change.   Checked inserted cartridge etc OK.

  Tried to open the screen of the wizard to do the alignment, cleans the heads but had the same problem mentioned on another post, the assistant is beyond.

  Tried the update of the software 710z, but does not connect via USB.     I know that the cable is OK and printer, Windows gave the found new software message.

  Went to the HPPIW. EXE installation method, it is OK, but returned to 710f version.   Not cleaned heads and alignment no impression always on black background.     Tried the diagnosis HPPSdr who told me there is a problem of driver incompatibility.    Deleted the entry of control panel of configuration/printers, uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled, same problem.

  In short, impossible to get 710z to connect via USB.   710f tells me that I have a driver incompatibility.  And does not print the problem original, black.

  In my view, that covers, all more than welcome advice, this machine is in a store of cats protection Chrity and we desperately need it works again!

  Thanks for the advice, given that the machine is under warranty, contact HP and were sent to a replacement machine which works AOK.
