Portege R705 stuck in "install" of Windows update...

Hello,
Last night I downloaded the usual Windows updates.  Now, however. it is stuck on the blue screen and says "Installing update 4 of 23".  The circle icon has been turning on the page for hours.  Attempts to reboot by holding down the power button have been useless since it just returns right back to the ïnstalling update screen.
Any ideas about how to get out of this screen or restart?
Thanks!
John in TN

During the reboot from holding down the power button, press and hold the F8 key. On the Advanced Boot Options menu, choose Safe Mode.
Then do a System Restore.
   What is System Restore?
If you want to talk more, tell us which Portege R705. And what is the part number?

  • SCCM2012R2-WSUS-"Install New Windows Update Software" message

    I have set up WSUS. I have installed SUP on SCCM. I have created two collections; Available and Required, and split my computers between them
    I have deployed various Software Update groups in batches of less-than-a-thousand to get me to the point where i can use ADRs from now on. I have created an ADR for October's updates to deploy to "Required". It downloads (though only directly from
    MS - cant get it to just use the WSUS folder but thats another issue) and from what i can see it deploys fine
    I run Windows Update on my Test PC and Server and it says it's up to date. Great. Just to test though, i click on "Check for updates from Windows Update" and they both come back with "Install new Windows UPdate Software - To check for updates,
    you must first install an update for Windows Update. Your automatic settings will not change"
    So i install that update (direct from Microsoft) and Windows update closes and re-opens as it says it will.
    I run another check for updates and they both say "Up to date". So i check from Windows update again since i have now installed  this new update software that i would have thought my SUP WSUS would have installed)
    Now from Microsoft's site they both have 45 important updates nad 35 optional updates available. What?? So i check these updates in the list and they are all in the October package. Why arent they available on my internal SUP/WSUS but they are available
    from MS Update?

    Hi,
    That is the way it works, if you have selected to have the Software updates deployments visible they are visible in Software Center instead and there you can install the updates that is needed on a computer/server if you have deployed the updates to that
    server as available first.
    Yes it is possible to do, deploy all updates to a collection, create a query for that collection so that all members in that OU is automatically made members in the Collection.
    then when a client is added to that OU the collection will be updated with that client as a member and the client will scan for updates and install the updates deployed to that Collection. It doesn't really matter in that case that the SCCM client does the
    installation of the updates and not the WindowsUpdateAgent.
    I hope that answered your question.

  • App updates are stuck on installing, won't update

    I have 10 apps to update. They are all stuck on installing. Have rebooted,doesn't do anything. I can't use the apps either. any suggestions?

    Make sure you are getting a good internet connection.
    Double-tap the Home button (bottom center of the iPhone), to get the current open Apps. Press and hold on one till they start "shivering" and you get the red "-" sign on them.
    Such the "-" on the ones you are having troubles with to close them. And press the Home button again to exit the "shiver mode".
    Then reset your iPhone (Press and hold the Home and Sleep (Shut Down) buttons at the same tim, till you get the Apple logo). This will not cause any data loss.
    When it has finished restarting, open the Apps you were having troubles with. The iPhone should recognize an incompleted upgrade and restart the download/upgrade.
    Good luck.

  • Can't install the Windows Update package KB2674319 (SQL Server 2012 SP1)

    Hi. I need to get the update of my MS SQL Server 2012 installation in order to get the SP1.
    When I run the Windows Update it appears to download well the package.
    Then when it begins to install  I get the error "84C4000E: Se ha producido un error con Windows Update" (our server is in Spanish).
    I have the last updates for Windows Server, a rebooted our server and the issue remains.
    Any idea of what should I do to get the SP1 update?
    Thanks in advance.
    Gustavo.

    Hi Gustavo,
    Based on your description, I suggest you should refer to the following articles. And then check if you can install the update successfully.

  • IE 10 installed via Windows Updates

    We have SCCM 2012 SP1 in our environment. We configured a number of Windows 7 computers manually with IE 9. Over the course of the night the computers might have pulled IE10 via windows update. The workstations are all pointing to the Sccm, but no upgrades
    were authorized.
    On the Windows 7 machines reviewed the following log files in C:\Windows.
    1. IE10_main.log file in the Windows folder.
    2.Reviewed C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log
    Q1. From where did the IE 10 get installed on these machines?
    Q2. Can we have the workstations stop AU and still receive patches via Sccm?
    Q3. If we request a GPO to disable AU on all agency workstations patches will still get to the agency desktops w/o any issues?
    IE10_main.log and WindowsUpdate have been uploaded to onedrive:
    https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=F3743C55DC76B1EE!1099&authkey=!AL40dKaAzl-_trc&ithint=folder%2c.log

    1. Don't know, you'd have to do some investigation. There is no process called "authorization" in ConfigMgr for updates though but assuming that the systems are correctly set to use ConfigMgr (and the WSUS instance that your SUP is installed on), then there
    are two possibilities -- approval directly within WSUS or added to a deployed software update group -- in addition to someone manually doing it. It could also have been pushed as a package or application from within ConfigMgr.
    2. No. ConfigMgr uses the Windows Update Agent which is contained in the Windows Update service, this service must not be disabled.
    3. Yes, this is recommended for multiple reasons. This may or may not have anything to do with IE10 being installed though.

  • Find my iPhone stuck on installing following ipad2 update

    I have just updated my iPad 2 's operating system to IOS6.1.3.

    Hi there jilaru,
    You may find the information in the article below helpful.
    iOS 7: Understanding Location Services
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5594
    Improve GPS accuracy2,4
    GPS accuracy varies depending on the number of visible GPS satellites. Locating all visible satellites can take several minutes, with accuracy gradually increasing over time. Use these tips to improve GPS accuracy:
    Ensure the date, time, and time zone are correctly set on the device in Settings > General > Date & Time. If possible, use Set Automatically.
    Important: Incorrect settings on your computer can sync to your device. Verify the date, time, and time zone on any computer that syncs with your device.
    Restart your device.
    Verify that you have a cellular or Wi-Fi network connection. This allows the Assisted GPS (A-GPS) on the device to locate visible GPS satellites faster, in addition to providing initial location information using the Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
    Note: Microcells (sometimes called Femtocells) aren't supported with Location Services.
    Maintain a clear view of the horizon in several directions. Keep in mind that walls, vehicle roofs, tall buildings, mountains, and other obstructions can block line of sight to GPS satellites. When this occurs, your device will automatically use Wi-Fi or cellular networks to determine your position until the GPS satellites are visible again.

  • How do I remove a driver installed by Windows Update

    Disable the device [Should prevent windows update from finding the wrong driver].Now that I think about disable the Plug'n'play service instead.

    Well, I finally did it. I clicked on a Windows Update item that I shouldn't have. Now I need some help removing it from my system.Backstory: I use a USB->VGA adapter from J5Create to add additional monitors to my PC's. It works well and I've been very happy with it. Last week a Windows Update item came through called "Trigger II External Graphics Family". The version numbering of the update was similar to the J5 product so I installed it. The monitor connected to the device promptly stopped working. The update installed an item in the Programs and Features and has an "Uninstall" feature. But when I uninstall it and reconnect the USB device, it re-installs that driver (not the original J5 driver).It would appear that the Trigger II software has overwritten the J5 driver for the signature of that device. I've tried several variations of...

  • Satellite A505D-S6958 why windows booting slow when installed new windows updates

    Good day,
    My laptop boots slow than usual after installing windows update why is it so? i restored it to previous setting then it boots a little faster.

    Satellite A505D-S6958 
    The way to handle this is to install each update - on at a time - and check the boot each time.
    Once you identify the culprit, we can proceed.
    Microsoft offers free support for troubles with Windows updates, but we must need to know which one.

  • Stuck in "Failure configuring Windows Updates: reverting changes" loading loop

    I just bought a new Asus notebook with Windows 8 today. I wanted to upgrade to Windows 8.1, so I had to first go through with all other updates. When the minor updates got to 98% the computer changed to the "Failure Configuring Windows Updates Reverting
    Changes" screen. It has been on this same loading screen for several hours now. I have tried restarting the computer multiple times. I have looked up several troubleshooting videos and guides, but everyone else seems to have been able to leave the loading
    screen and fix the problem in the actual working computer. I am still stuck in the loading... loading... loading screen. What do I do to get back to the home page? Or anything just to fix the problem.

    Kayla,
    Thank you a 100 times! Being hooked through a modem to my network, as opposed to a direct link, was EXACTLY the problem.
    After wasting 2 hours in the other sections of this forum through numerous threads of the same issues (with the same cut and paste answers by support engineers) it was just that simple. Bam! 5 minutes all better.
    What alarms me is that not one of the dozens of posts i read through did an Engineer ever ask if they were hooked through wifi or a router. Even Dell's hideous support center will go through the basics first before launching into the hoop jumping.
    Again bless you. If I could I'd buy you a drink, or cookies, whichever you prefer :)

  • Installed recent Windows updates and now iTunes refuses to run

    I installed the most recent Windows 7 updates:
    - Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2467174)
    - Windows Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems
    - Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2467175)
    Ever since then, I have been unable to open iTunes. It will start up the iTunes process and before the window even comes up it quits. I have tried following some of the guides on the "Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues" folder in the iTunes Support section of the iTunes website. I've tried the msconfig thing but no luck. From what I see, there's nothing else that's changed with my computer other than the updates.
    I really have no idea what to do. Can anyone help?

    Also, seems like Quicktime isn't running. I didn't get an error message either.
    many thanks! That suggests a possibility that would also be consistent with this cropping up after those particular updates.
    In recent times, the error-message-free iTunes and QuickTime launch failures have been indicating that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files. (Those sorts of applications often use the Visual C++ runtimes to keep track of the componentry, so it seems consistent that an update to those could cause the symptoms to flare up on a PC.)
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit Windows 7, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit Windows 7, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • After installing or uninstalling a program or after installing a Windows update requiring a reboot, I lose Firefox and have to reboot a second time.

    Am running VistaSP2 on a Dell E520 with a Kaspersky based AV program. Ever since I installed the latest version of Firefox I find that when I install or uninstall a new app (e.g. Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Skype, Windows Messenger, etc.) or when I install an update from any source that requires a reboot, I find that Firefox will not start. Even the UAC confirmation window will not open. I have to perform a second reboot to be able to open Firefox. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it and it does not help.

    Which is it, hanging or crashing, or both?

  • Stuck in installing software/security update

    Hi,
    I downloaded the latest software/security update, OS X (Mavericks) 10.9.2, from the Mac App Store. I'm using a Mac Air. But after it restarted and the screen shows "Installing Software Update", the progress bar has stopped well, progressing. It's nearly finished when it stopped moving to complete the installation. I'm still able to move around the pointer around but it has been two hours. It worked just fine with my other Mac Air.
    Any advice out there?
    Thanks.

  • Blue screen after installing windows update

    I get this error message after I install the windows updates. I have the K8n Neo Platinum with Nvidia Nforce 3 250gb chipset. I am running XP X64. The computer runs great until I do the windows update. I have tried changing setting in the bios but that don't matter. Here are 3 pix. I had to take them quick so they aren't very good. I am right now re-formatting again so I am on my other computer.
    OK how do you add pix from a digital camera on this forum??? ,
    Here is what it says. stop: c000021a (fatal system error) this session manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000263 (0x00000000 0x00000000) the system has been shut down.
    It then goes into a reboot mode and comes back with the same blue screen error code.
    Help

    I e-mailed MSI tech support today also about the problem. A month ago I did the same thing. The tech said "oh I haven't heard of that happening before"  So thanks for the link. I can't wait to get the "haven't had that happen before" DUUHHHH again. I will just link them. A month ago I wrote went through about 10 of the updates. Doing a re-install, updating and see what happens. I wrote down a couple of them that cause problems. It was just way to much work to time consuming so I just stopped.
    I don't quite understand that voltage thing with the processor. I would think you should be able to set the bios to "fail safe setting" and it should run and do everything.
    It don't look like they posted a fix for this problem. But I didn't install any of the security updates anyways. I wonder if it is just my Motherboard or what. There must be someone out there who is running x64 with one of these boards.
    thanks again. 

  • Windows update requesting to install Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320

    I received this today when trying to manually scan for available updates via the windows update in control panel. It shows message as below. Seems that it will install the latest Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320. Will this machine able to get any patch
    deployed via SCCM if the WUA is not updated to the latest version?

    I can't say I've heard of any widespread issues with this version of the WUA so YMMV as always. If you do have an issue, you should contact CSS though.
    As for it being pushed automatically, that's correct and is no different than past WUA agent updates. It is considered an infrastructure update and is thus automatically installed via Windows Update or WSUS regardless of your client update settings unless
    you've actually disabled the WUA via group policy (not the service though) -- this includes ConfigMgr also because ConfigMgr does not in way pre-empt WSUS and leverages WSUS behind the scenes.

  • After Installing Windows Updates (7-20-214) chckdsk now runs at start-up and other HDD errors are popping up.

    On 7-20-2014 I installed various windows updates. Later that day I shut down my computer and after a few hours powered it back on. At this point my system started running chkdsk and was unable to read portions of the disk.
    After it went through all 3 phases it booted up fine. So I ran two tests. A Seagate HDD tool for windows and ran activeSMART tools. Both of them said there are errors to my HDD and that I should back up and get a new HDD.
    It just doesn't make sense that in the span of a few hours my otherwise perfectly fine working HDD would send back all of these errors. There are no sounds coming from the drive to indicate mechanical failure, and otherwise I have no problems using the system;
    no slow downs opening files etc.
    Please if anyone knows of any current Windows Updates that could be causing this I would very much like to know as that is one of the only things I can think of that could be causing these errors. Thank you.

    I agree with Frederic. In addition to this: Do not hesitate and backup your data, buy new disk and make new installation. If you have problems with retrieving some files, use program
    Recuva.
    Not all HDD failures are accompanied by noise. Imagine failure of hdd electronics. Not all mechanics stop functioning with noise.
    I have never experienced any update problem that had caused mechanical failure. Perhaps large disk activity during updates accelerates the disaster process in your computer.
    In my personal opinion the "low price goal" is behind the higher failure rate. For disk vendors it is cheaper to replace several failked disks than do thorough test of all disks (or memory, etc.) I had mechanical disk that ended its life in
    two months... (Do not be fooled by large MTBF values. These are extrapolated data from hdd sets.)
