How to removing a pending update that is preventing a successful boot

Hi,
For an unknown reason (my guess is an update was automatically applied and automatically restarted), my computer rebooted overnight and in the morning was stuck in a failed boot loop. When trying to boot I get the message:
"Preparing to configure windows"
"Do not turn off your computer"
Then after a few seconds the computer reboots and does the same thing. Safe mode yields the same result. Using the F8 option to restore last known good configuration doesn't change anything. I can boot into the recovery console.
I have tried running SFC /SCANNOW in a command prompt in the recovery console and get the message:
"There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run sfc again."
Restarting of course doesn't change anything. So it seems something happened to an unfinished update and is still pending. I think if I can remove this pending update I might be able to boot normally, or at least run SFC and hopefully then boot
normally.
Does anyone know what I should try to remove this pending update that appears to be preventing a successful boot?
Thanks!

Hello deuce_mn,
This is the command to run when booted offline at a recovery command prompt
dism.exe /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
This is supposed to revert all pended updates, however if System Restore is not working, then there may be other issues as well

I'm thinking this may help with a similar problem I'm having with SP1 (fatal error applying update during boot). I noticed that when I'm at the recovery command prompt, the system image is moved to E: vs. C:. Will DISM work in this case & will
it restore my System Image, pre-SP1 failure, to C:? Also, does it matter whether I run the recovery command prompt from the current installation or do I need to start from the original install media? Oh, one more question... When I installed
Windows 7x64, I used a minimal unattend.xml file to force all User Profiles to another, non-system, disk drive, currently D:. Both my system drive & user profile/data drive appear unharmed so far.

How to remove an app update that isn't mine

i always have an update in my app store updates for Angry Birds that isn't associated with my iTunes accounts. how do i get rid of it?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
If you are seeing a stranger's Apple ID associated with this Angry Birds update, see here;

How to remove the UPK inscription that appears in browser title

Hello!
how to remove the UPK inscription that appears in browser title (the browser tab). I want to leave only the module name appearing.
thank you

Hi,
I haven't tried, but have a look at the toc.html - you will find this in the data folder under the Publishing Content --> PlayerPackage.
I think that the tag you are looking for is <title></title>. Pop something inbetween and see if that sorts your issue out?
Eg <title>TESTING</title>.
You should find this close to the top of the html document.
Hope it works for you.

Greig

Never seen anything like it. Do iPads get virus'?
Thanks for any help. I've never used this before.
Linda

There are no viruses for the iPad. Close the mail app and reboot the iPad.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Does anyone know of a VI or how to go about writing one that will prevent the computers time/date from being disabled while an application is running.

Does anyone know of a VI or how to go about writing one that will prevent the computers clock/time from being disabled while an application is running. The time and date can normally be reset while an application is running by clicking on the time/date in the lower right-hand corner of the computer screen. I have an application that runs over several days and it is critical that the time and date of the computer not be changed. Is there an easy way to lock this out from the user? Note that I am what I consider an advanced beginner in LV.
Thank you,
Chuck
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That is not something you can do from LabVIEW, as it is an operating system operation, and it will depend on the operating system that you're using. On Windows you can use a group policy to control this. Please Google on "prevent time and date change in windows".
Also, please try to refrain from stuffing your entire message in the subject block. Keep the subject short, but descriptive enough so it can be understood what you are basically asking. Thanks.

How to remove Business content objects that are not required?

Hi all of you,
I had extracted some of the objects from business content from FI such as General LEdger and Asset Accounting. After extracting it, my c drive is full and I am not able to open any other file. So I want to remove these FI objects that I had extracted from Business Content. Can any one please guide as to how should I remove these already loaded Business content objects?
Thank you.
TR.

Hi,
You can right click on the objects (unused) and delete.
actually when you activate business content its version is changes from "D" Delivered to "A" Active but these objects will always be available as D version to you. Even if you delete the activated objects now & need those in future you can reactivate them.
hope it helps
Regards
Vikash

How to remove an add-on that won't uninstall

I have an add-on that has been fine and working in Firefox for a long time. I had been getting updates to the add-on and updates to Firefox. The last time I updated Firefox the little icon for the add-on disappeared from the toolbar. I thought that maybe in the last update that maybe it wasn't compatible and got disabled, but when I looked at the add-on list, there it was plain as day. So, I went to the website of the makers of the add-on and they said that if it wasn't working to uninstall it, but that's the problem I can't uninstall it. When I press the "uninstall" button, I get the "Do you want to uninstall XXXXX? and when I click "Uninstall" to continue the removal it just does nothing. So now I'm thinking, does this mean that I have to completely uninstall Firefox or can I go into the user profile directory and remove a file and manually force a removal.

Which extension are you referring to?
You can try to remove that extension in [[Safe mode]]
You can remove the folder where that extension is installed in the extensions folder in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] if uninstalling doesn't work.

How to remove an Apple ID that's associated with my iPhone?

Hi folks,
Wondering if anybody can offer some advice to me on how to remove that association? I've already gone into my account to remove it under "Manage Devices" but seems like it's still locked on my phone..
Appreciate your kind advice.
Thanks.

If everything works in iTunes on the computer see if this works. Sign out of the invalid account/email address and the sign in with the correct one on the iPad. Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign out.
Restart the iPad before you try signing in with the correct ID.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
