150 failed updates after system recovery, Windows 7

My machine is a Toshiba  Satellite L755D-S5160 running Windows 7 home premium.
after performing A complete recovery to out of box state, I immediately attempted to run windows update in order to install over 150 updates. I did not interrupt the process, nor was I running any other programs at the time. after taking an extremely long time, most of which it seemed like the computer had frozen, I was prompted to shut down the computer to finish installing the updates. But when I turned it back on I found that only a very few had actually installed. I have tried the Windows 7 update hot fix. I have tried the fix it utility. I even followed a rather lengthy step-by-step manual update reset process that involved typing dozens of commands into the command prompt. I did make sure that Windows Update had in fact updated itself before I even tried downloading any other updates. I have been working on this now for the last two days and have had no luck. Because Windows is not fully updated, I can't even update any of my other software because Windows is so thoroughly messed up. Please help! Even if I have to start the recovery process from scratch it would not be that big a deal just so long as I knew what to do to avoid this problem the next time.

Some tips for you and others.
1. Disable your anti-virus for this. It may be necessary to do it again after each reboot. Make sure the Windows Firewall is enabled.
2. Don't run other applications. Only Internet Explorer should be running.
3. Disable Automatic Update. Install only "Important" updates. Forget all the others for now. Never install drivers from Windows Update in any case.
4. Choose at most 20 updates to install at a time.
5. If you have difficulty with some, you may want to boot into Safe Mode with Networking.
6, Your model (Satellite L755D) came with Service Pack 1 already installed. Others who start with Window RTM need to install it first thing. There are 625 updates included in SP1.

    ordered recovery media from Toshiba and installed it.  ....  I tried to call Toshiba support, but because I am outside my warranty, I was told I would be charged for support. 
    It is running Windows 8..even though it is supposed to be on 8.1 (according to the sticker on the bottom of the laptop).  
    The product key is buried in the hardware.
    According to the spec above, the original model shipped with Windows 8 and needed to be upgraded. My guess is that they later shipped the same model with Windows 8.1.
    It appears Toshiba shipped the wrong recovery media.
    Explain that when you call.

  • Lost Quickbooks data after System Recovery

    Is there anyway to recover Quickbooks data after system recovery?

    Quickbooks is an accounting tool designed and marketed by the Intuit Inc. mostly used for financially-related processes anywhere in any big or small organization. So, financial means quite important and very useful data to store..so there are number of possibilities of QBW file or QuickBooks database corruption.

  • Windows Update extremely sluggish/useless after system recovery.

    Hello there,
    While trying to help a friend with his laptop, I have come across a bit of a problem, which seems fairly unique. After having searched the 'net and the Knowledge Base I am about as clued in as when I started, which is to say not very.
    Machine: Satellite 1800-412 (Danish).
    Did: Recover system to scratch back to XP SP1a (DK).
    Problem: After doing a complete system recovery using the original recovery CDs, Windows Update runs *extremely* slowly, if at all, once it gets to the point where it scans for which updates you need. I have so far managed to get one (1) update downloaded, a small one. As an update is attempted the CPU usage peaks to 100% and stays there until I give up and hard reboot, since the machine is now nearly useless and sluggish to the point of appearing frozen.
    Tried to: Manually applied different updates downloaded directly from Microsoft, like Internet Explorer 6 sp1, XP SP2 (DK), different updates and patches to XP, downloaded and checked/tried to reinstall drivers from Toshiba (they are up to date). Checked that systems boots cleanly with all devices recognized. Checked the system clock. Searched the Toshiba KB, searched the internet, searched the Toshiba support forum. Pulled some hair in desperation. I must have restored the system 4 times by now in order to try different ways of patching the system with updates.
    Peculiarities: It is apparently *only* Windows Update, which causes this problem, and only after the very first little bit, where it updates the Windows Update engine inside Internet Explorer. Before I attempt to run an update the machine apparently works normally. I can surf, download, install and run programs and what not. (No, I did not visit any suspicious websites.) If Windows Update runs automatically in the background / 'in the tray', the very same thing happens: Machine suddenly becomes useless and stays that way.
    The machine is on a local area network behind a bullet proof OpenBSD firewall, no other Windows machines on the inside, so there is zero chance of a fast infection from the network causing the problem.
    Unfortunately: Manually downloading and applying the patches is not an option as I want to activate Automatic Updates before handing the machine back to its owner.
    Hope some of you might have an answer to this one, as I have never experienced nor heard about something similar before.
    Frank.

    Hi Stefan,
    Yes, that might be a possible solution, and I have been thinking along those lines myself. The trouble being that I don't have a CD with the correct version of XP (XP Home Edition, Danish) for which the machine is licensed, and here in the middle of the holiday season I have a bit of a problem tracking one down. I even tried calling Microsoft support and Toshiba to see if they would be kind enough to mail me a spare CD. No such luck.
    The machine is used by a friend of mine, who has a severe physical disability. It is his main 'communication platform' and he operates it using a single button switch interface. So every additional day of downtime is a bit of a problem. I will probably have to reinstall it for now using the SP 1a base software, then completely disabling the network interface to avoid infections while I look for a XP CD.
    The closest I can come to an explanation is that 'something' that Windows Update automatically installs conflicts with the factory supplied software. The problem happens even with a completely freshly recovered setup, so I was hoping this would be a known if perhaps a bit obscure problem.
    Thanks again. :-)
    Frank.

  • Restore Photoshop Elements 2 updates lost after System Recovery

    I have a copy of Photoshop Elements 2 that came over on the Mayflower in my computer... Last week I had to do a system recovery (restoring to factory settings).  I was able to load in the disc without trouble, but the updates to the original software are no longer available.   How can I restore the updates I've used and enjoyed over the past what...7 years?  Is there a "Key" I can buy, a secret handshake...or maybe a guy who knows somebody who knows a guy?
    The program was running in XP....  Stop laughing.

    Updates are here

  • My magic stopped working after I updated the system to Windows 7 SP1

    It all goes well under the Mac OS X 10.6.
    But,to Windows 7, the partial function went down after I updated the system.
    Here's my problem.
    The function of rolling in the middle area of Mouse didn't work.
    I've tried to reinstall the Bootcamp 3.1, but nothing help.
    So I wonder if there's anyone who can help me out.
    P.S. Poor English, expected that you can understand.

    Did the Windows 7 disc have SP1 on it or did you download it from Windows Update/Microsoft site. I had Windows 7 64-bit on my system and I went to the Microsoft site to download SP1 and then installed it (I had issues in the past on different PC getting service packs to download and install from Windows Update). After it installed Windows was fine I had no issues. When I was finished with using the system for the day I went to Start>Shutdown to turn it off. Then the next day I turned it on and booted into Windows and it asked for my password. I went to type it in and nothing showed in the box. I went to use the built-in mouse in the MacBook Pro and it would not move. This had happened after I redid the entire hard drive (Mac OS X and Windows) after having some other Windows issues I was having. After I found out the issues were not on the Mac OS X side I put Windows back on and the drivers for it that was on the Mac OS X disc and used Apple Software Update for Windows to get the 3.2 drivers. I don't think Apple systems and Windows7 using SP1 is compatible. If you are able to in some way or form to go to Control Panel and view the installed Windows Updates, click on the one for Service Pack 1 and then click on uninstall and remove it. I take care of the updates on another system for someone else on an HP using Winsows 7 64-bit and after what happened to me I am not putting Service Pack 1 on theres.

  • Windows doesn't start after system recovery

    I am using Presario 5180CF and my desktop has required system restore for several times with increased frequency for the past month so I decided to do a system recovery to return the computer back to its factory conditions. I managed to complete the process. However, after shutting down the computer, I couldn't start windows and it kept returning to the start up screen (with the HP/compaq logo) after loading. After 2 times, I was prompted to do a system restore but the process could never finish and it always hang after the "windows is loading files' bar has finished, sometimes it shows a blue screen. I attempted to do a system recovery again but the same thing happens. Would anyone be able to help me with this or is it time to buy a new desktop? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Test the hard drive then the memory modules, post back the results.

  • Missing files after System Recovery, HP Pavillion G62, Windows 7, 64 bit.

    My 5 month old laptop is showing signs of slowing down. When this occurs I do a system recovery in an effort to correct any problems. After completion of system recovery I always get the following error;
                              (the system cannot find the file specified (Ox80070002))
                               C:\users\owner\applicationdata\locallow.
                               C:\users\owner\contacts.
                               C:\users\owner\searches.
    The notice is in Notepad. None of the files can be found with a search from the main menu. If no refererence to the files can be found how does the computer know they exist? My feeling is that the computer cannot operate up to speed with missing files?
    I do have some other oddities occuring but I don't think you can solve anything if files are missing.

    Those are user file locations and will not affect windows or how it runs, you can ignore that error.

  • Wrong version of Win 7 after system recovery.

    My Pavillion dv7 I purchased from Best Buy about 6 months ago hiccuped and died. I wasn't able to do a system recovery, but was able to do a system restore.  After figuring out that I needed to turn off the wi-fi, I have stumbled across another problem.  The activiation key on the sticker on the bottom of the computer will not activate Win 7.  The sticker says that it is for Win 7 Home Premium while Win 7 Home Basic is currently installed.  How can I unlock the correct version of Win 7 that was installed AND PAID for on this computer so it will function again.
    Thanks!!

    As for the restore disk, I didn't realize this computer came with any. I'll look again through my stuff to see if I have them. If I do, then just pop them in and let 'er rip? If no disks, then what?
    Do you still have the recovery partition?? You could mark the recovery partition (Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Disk Management) as active and reboot. It will (should) act like with the recovery disks in..
    If all fails, install an OEM version of Windows 7 Home Premium (borrow, download etc..) and use the product key from the bottom of the laptop...

  • Unable to reinstall HP MediaSmart Photo/Video/Movie after System Recovery

    My NoteBook originally came w/ Vista Ultimate & HP gave me a a disk for upgrade to Windows 7.
    Doing another System Recovery and while upgrading to Windows 7 it was recomended I uninstall HP MediaSmart Photo/Video/Movie since it might not be compatible w/ W7, which I did. After recovery/upgrade I find out HP has me reinstalling the same version. However, it will not install. I get the following message:

    Hi,
    The download page for a lot of notebooks often has multiple entries for the same software - for both drivers and other software, just install the latest version.
    When you believe that you have installed all relevant software and drivers, you can always check by opening windows Control Panel and then opening Device Manager - look for any entry here that has a warning icon ( yellow triangle ) next to it.  If you find any, right click on the problem device and select Properties.  Click the Details tab, choose Hardware Ids from the dropdown box and post back with the details shown under Value.
    Best regards,

  • Hp pavilion os system recovery (windows xp)

    hi,
    so im having some major problems when im trying to reformat my computer. first off i have a hp pavilion about 5 years old  that runs windows xp. i've had to reformat in the past and i have 2 system recovery discs that i've used in the past and have worked. however this time when i try to run them i get to the black and white screen where it says "preparing recovery partition" it gets about 2 minutes in and then says "wrong system disk or disk error, press any key to continue". after i press any key it takes me back to the startup page where i can enter setup, let the operating system load (which i normally do when computer starts up) or go to the boot menu. if i dont go to the boot menu and tell it to run the recovery cd it just gets stuck on a black screen with a blinking cursor. but when i run the recovery cd i get the said error message over and over and over and over...when i do go to the boot menu and choose the recovery disc option a black screen comes up that says "no operating system installed or corrupt partition, press r to start full system recovery". so after i press r it takes me back to the preparing recovery partition screen, where once again it gets an error after about 2 mins of loading.  im guessing that the corrupt partition part is whats causing me problems. WHAT DO I DO!? IM SO CONFUSED, i hope that by reading this your not also confused.
    please help!

    Try booting with a utilty cd to delete all partitions,create 1 and format hdd. I have had good results with the free Partition Wizard .Download the Bootable CD iso here .Get ImgBurn here to burn the image to cd.
    Once all operations complete successfully with PW, reboot with Recovery Disks.

  • After system recovery on a Pavilion 513n with XP SP2 I cannot run CD's created with Iomega Hotburn.

    I have a 9 year old Pavilion 513n running Windows XP SP2.  I have two RAM sticks, one of 1GB (added) and one of 256MB (the original with the computer).  The hard drive is a Western Digital 80 GB.  The CD/DVD drive is the original with the computer.  I recently had to do a system recovery due to a corrupted Windows file using the HP System Recovery Disks and an SP2 disk from Microsoft.  Since then, the computer will not recognize nor read CD's created on an Iomega external CD burner using Iomega Hotburn software.  These CD's worked fine previously even after system recoveries.  Other CD's run fine.  I have done previous system recoveries in the last nine years, and have never encountered this problem before.  I am hoping someone else may have run into this and can help me.
    Thanks

    I think this problem is more of a hardware issue.  Have you tried using a linux live cd?
    If it boots fine into safe mode then it is an installation/driver issue.  Safe mode bypasses most driver problems.  I would suggest you try using virtual pc from microsoft it is free and try it withing windows it is very, very easy to use to set up a virtual machine.
    It COULD be a hard drive issue, if so i would try a low level seek format, and then install windows.  Low level formats are NOT windows formats. Try installinf say PCLinuxos 2007 and if that works there is a problem with your drivers.
    Ultimately it may well come down to hardware, just use other options to actually isolate if it is a hardware problem or not.
