T430s unable to restart after Windows Update

I'll start with the short version. I just got my ThinkPad T430s, so there were a lot of Windows Updates to install. After one batch, I am no longer able to restart the machine. When I click Shut Down, Restart or Log Out, the desktop disappears, but instead of bringing up the "Shutting Down..." screen, it just shows the desktop background indefinitely until I power down by holding the power button. I have been unable to figure out what is causing this, how to fix it, or which Windows Update was the cause.
Longer version:
I upgraded my machine from Windows 7 Home to Pro. After a series of Updates the problem started. I tried a lot of things, then decided to try reinstalling Windows. Again, it happened after a large chunk of Windows Updates. I have tried a million things. System Restore points don't fix it. "Clean Boot" doesn't fix it. Uninstalling Windows Updates doesn't fix it. Eventually I tried to use the Lenovo recovery CD, but it turns out the recovery partition only contains one of the 4 CDs you use. You don't find this out until you get an error that says "You have inserted the wrong disk" which occurs AFTER the recovery software has wiped all your partitions. So now my recovery partition is gone as well. My current plan is to install Windows fresh to hold me over until Lenovo can ship me the full set of recovery CDs, but if anyone has any ideas for what might be causing this no restart problem, I would appreciate it.

kb2647753 seems to be the problem child.

  • Unable to restart after software update 10.3.1.1779

    I am unable to get  my Z10 to restart after this update.
    I have searched endless avenues and have now resorted to deleteing the notifcations for this update when they come in, I have downloaded and installed it, but when asked to restart, my phone stalls on the loading screen forever, the longest I have waited for it to restart is 3 days, with 24 hours of that on 99%.
    I am now the but of all phone related jokes as everyone I know has an IPHONE that works perfectly, but I insist on keeping this awful Z10 becuse I dont want to join their rank....too tink I spent £500 on this when it came out (more fool me)
    It would seem that the general consensus is, I will have to go to the inconveience of taking my Z10 in to a phone shop, were they will send it off to BB for the update to be installed.
    PS; Blacberry's forum is as hard to navigate as the phone is to actually get working proberly.

    This has been the worst software update I have ever encountered. My Q10 is completely unreliable and I am going to switch to another device in the morning. I have restored factory settings and have successfully wiped the app to sync my shared Google Calendars, the z and y keys have swapped on my keypad and the Q10 still turns itself off arbitrarily, wipes all text and phone messages and can't recall what network I'm on or what my home wifi settings are.

  • Satellite A200 continuously restarts after windows update

    Hey all,
    The model Satellite A200-1GB (PSAE6E) worked perfectly for two years now (with Vista 32bit).
    Since running windows update yesterday and restarting, the laptop's been stuck in a loop of restarts, immediately restarting after the "POST" screen (Toshiba logo, etc) with a flash of blue screen.
    Holding F8 to read the message, it says INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE (0x000007B) ...
    Trying to restore to a point before the failure failed for unknown reason (gave an error).
    Research in Google yielded a possible cause - maybe harddrive driver has changed to an incompatible type. There were some suggestions to turn off AHCI support in bios, but it doesn't have that option.
    The bios was not updated since purchase (it's version 1.4), but I can't update it because it seems the only update provided by Toshiba requires windows.
    Anybody has any clue how to fix the computer without reinstalling windows? Anything?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ofir

    Hi
    I doubt it could be a hardware error (my personal opinion) but nothing is impossible you know
    The point is that a BSOD can be caused by hardware error but also by an serious software issue
    In my opinion something went wrong during the update
    If you are not able to start the OS even using an safe mode then a new OS installation would be the last chance to get this issue sorted
    I think you should try a new install in order to find out if this could be a hardware issue because there is a small rest of risk that this could be a hardware problem

  • Unable to boot after windows update

    Hello,
    As is was trying to update windows today I didn't expect to lock up my computer, but right now i'm facing the blue screen of death at every startup. The startup repair is not helping.. So right now the only option i see is to reformat my C drive??
    This was really unexpected, as I was installing a few of the optional windows updates (mostly drivers i think for the fingerprint reader, graphic card... ) when my pc crashed. I hope to recover some of the files on my desktop before reformating.
    So i'm not really expecting too much help here because i can basically do nothing as even the startup repair is not working. But i'm wondering, are there any windows updates that should be avoided? I wish i knew what screwed up my pc. I'm runnign the w520 on windows 7btw.
    Thanks!!

    Solved!

  • Unable to restart after software update

    the last 2 times that i have installed "restartable" updates from the "software update" option i have been unable to start my computer without having to boot from my Snow Leopard install disc and reinstall it. has anyone else come upon this issue?
    when it goes to reboot, it loads like normal but the grey apple turns into a crossed out circle. like a no smoking sign minus the cigarette. haha
    anyway, any help would be much appreciated!

    I haven't had that problem myself, but the next time you're led to reinstall Mac OS X, once you pass the language selection screen you should see a "Utilities" menu bar item that will let you run Disk Utility. Do that and invoke "Repair Disk" and "Repair Permissions", then see if you're able to boot from your internal disk.

  • Another "Unable to restart after intel update" (6/3/08)

    anyway, ran the update - no dice - grey screen...grey apple
    took someone's advice, ran the starup disk after trying cntl-v and cntrl-s (which just gave me a list of errors before restarting), so now i'm running the disk utility and it threw up "invalid node structure" at me followed immediately by "rebuilding catalog b-tree," then followed by ton of "invalid node structure" and the progression bar hasn't budged at this point
    ok - just got "first aid failed" - then - "volume could not be repaired because of an error"
    that's bad, right?

    The errors are most likely in the files not in the hardware, especially since this happened when you were doing a medium serious OS update. Once you are finished with the drive you can erase it and use it again. I think there is a write zeros option which will scan the hard disk for physical problems and will tell you if there are other issues. New hard disks also have SMART capability which is supposed to report impending failures (physical I believe, not in directory which is the problem you are having).
    I don't have any hands-on experience with DW in terms of telling you how long it will take. That would depend upon your computer speed, the size of the drive and the number of errors.

  • Unable to connect after windows update

    window 7 updates and AVG updates occurred. Windows firewall is off and AVG firewall is not active. AVG was disable completely with not affect.

    Is your whole network down, or just Firefox? Are there any error messages?
    Contact your provider and have them test your service. Also, unplug your
    modem. Wait about 30 seconds before plugging it in.
    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
    previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
    trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
    again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see
    '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet?esab=a&s=Configure+firewalls+&r=0&as=s Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}

  • Unable to restart after mavericks update

    I installed mavericks it failed and crashed my system.  I restored with time capsule but get a panic screen.  I took image of screen.  Any thoughts?

    Shaneacmed,
    it looks like you have a 13-inch Mid 2009 MacBook Pro. Which version of OS X were you running before you’d installed Mavericks? Were you also running Time Machine under your previous version of OS X? Are you currently able to boot into the Mavericks recovery partition, by holding down a Command key and the R key when you start up your MacBook Pro?

  • Dell Latitude E6520 fails to boot after Windows Updates

    Hello, 
    I have a Dell Latitude E6520 that is not starting up after Windows updates. It installs updates and requests a reboot, after which it blue screens at the splash logo and reboots again. This goes on indefinitely. The only way to repair it is to boot from
    a recovery disk and run: 
    dism /image:D:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
    This is after running dism /image:D:\ /get-packages and noticing that several updates are still in an "Install_Pending" state. These are the kb's that are pending: 
    kb2982378
    kb2978742
    kb2977629
    kb2976897
    kb2973112
    kb2972211
    There were other updates, but those showed as installed. I would post the WindowsUpdate.Log, but I do not see a button to attach a file and the log is very long. Here is what I think is relevant towards the end of the log:

  • SP 2010 - Getting "An unexpected error has occurred. " message when accessing Sharepoint site after windows update - Windows 7 Home Premium

    Hi,
    I am new to SP 2010. I have installed Share point 2010 server (trial version) on my Windows 7 Home Premium Laptop by following the below link.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869%28office.14%29.aspx
    Everything went fine and was able to see the new sharepoint site after completing configuration wizard. SP2010 Central Admin also worked fine.
    However, after windows update, sharepoint site is not working. I was able to see the site working for more than a day before windows update. SP2010 Central Admin is still working. Executed "PSCONFIG" after
    update but still no good.
    I saw a warning "The Security Token Service is not available" in Central Admin and did some research to fix the issue but nothing worked. 
    Hotfix
    I believe I have all hotfixes mentioned in the forums. Here is the list.

    I even tried to uninstall Sharepoint and re-install the same. It worked even second time until it went thro' windows update. App pools are running and Websites are up and running in IIS.

  • Is it still recommended to do a restart after and update?

    Hello.  Just did an Apple update to my iMac.  Is it recommended to to a restart after the update has downloaded?  By the sounds of the prompt afterwards "The update was done successfully" or something like that, sounds like it is not.  Thanks for any input on this.  Cheers.

    Some updates require a restart while others allow you to continue to use the computer while the update is in progress.  The "Update" window will tell you whether or not you have to restart and it will restart when the update is completed.  Just follow the instructions.

  • Windows Update Error 800B0109 after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 Installed

    Hi, I have this error message when running windows update, it happened after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 installed.
    Any idea how to resolve this?
    Thank you.

    Hi，
    Please make sure that your antivirus application does not scan the files in the
    %windir% \SoftwareDistribution directory on any computer on which Windows Update Agent is installed.
    You can also temporarily turn off the antivirus application and check the result.
    Or run the following commands, and press Enter after each command:
    Net stop wuauserv
    cd %systemroot%
    Ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
    Net start wuauserv
    Try to install updates again.

    I tried the commands as well, still prompting the same error.
    Thanks

  • Profiles being reset after windows updates?

    Hi All
    I'm having issues with Outlook 2013 SP1 resetting our users profiles after Windows Updates have been applied. Their profiles are being reset whilst their previous profiles are being renamed to "BACKUP of <profile name>".
    Office 2013 x86 has been deployed via VL Media onto Win7 x64 machines and we are distributing the ImportPRF registry key via GPO (set to Update) in order to customise the profiles on first run. (basic email account and attaching a default PST file)
    It appears that after windows updates are applied outlook is triggering the first run process again and therefore resetting the users profiles back to the standard set in our PRF.
    We used this method to configure Outlook 2010 and for the years of deploying Office 2010 we never had any issues. Can anyone suggest what might be going on here or what might have changed in Office 2013?
    Thanks

  • I was updating my ipod touch to iso 6.1 ans when it restarted after the update it froze and i held the lock button and home button down to restart it and it goes to random colour screens

    I was updating my ipod touch  to iso 6.1 (i think) and when my ipod restarted after the update it froze on the loading bar so i held the lock and home buttons down to restart my ipod it showed the apple logo for a few seconds then the screen went random colours.  I tried to let the battery drain  then plug it into the computer but it doesen't recognize it when i connect it.
    Please help!!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I do not see much about coloum 14, but I am guessing this file is stored somewhere and its corrupt. Update.xul suggests that it is the update file. Do you still have this in your downloads folder? There are two places for update and for a clean reinstall:
    [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/] in a private window will give you a new install or you can choose from here: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/]
    This is what the file should look like; [http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/log/7a2edc5171e6/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/content/update.xul] If you can copy and paste that file from a working browser we can see the issue, but it will just look the same as the error.
    if you can replace the contents of the file locally with what it should look like it will fix the error, but who knows if there are other errors. May be best to delete the updater and save all the profile folder contents.
