Windows 7 SP1 Upgrade - Stuck at Windows Desktop Update

Ok so I have a 4 year old laptop that had Windows 7 Ultimate on it. It is a Intel dual core computer with 4GB of RAM.
I left it over night to download and install the SP1 patch. I wake up this morning and sign in, it shows a black screen and in the upper left it has "Setting up personalized settings for: Windows Desktop Update"
I thought that this might take some time so I left for about an hour, now I am back and this screen is still there. I fear that it has broken itself and that it is broken. Is there a way to fix this issue?

During the Black screen, try using Ctrl Alt Delete
Go to task manager
check your CPU usage (mine was at zero when i did this)
Go to processes
and end both the
processes that start with Reg (I apologize i cant fully remember the name of it)
Make sure you do this by right clicking and ending the process tree
This is how i got past that screen, and my laptop seems to be working fine and its been a few days since

  • Windows 7 upgrade and existing Windows Vista Home Premium license...?

    Hi,
    As per Lenovo's scheme, after applying for Windows 7 64 bit upgrade and upon receiving the installer DVD, do I need to compulsorily install it?
    Does "upgrade" here really mean that the day when the Windows 7 DVD was issued on my name, my existing Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit license will become Invalid or get expired? Or I can continue using my existing installed Windows Vista on my Laptop and install the received copy of Windows 7 as and when I want or even don't install it on my Laptop, if happy using existing Windows Vista only?
    Regards,

    If I buy a genuine Microsoft Windows Anytime upgrade key, from Newegg and the like will it work OK or does it have to be from HP, as a special upgrade?
    Thanks again.

  • Do I need to reinstall Windows to upgrade Bootcamp on Windows side?

    I had bootcamped Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on my mac air. When I had done that, I had Mountain Lion. Now that I have updated my mac side to Mavericks, it came with bootcamp 5.1.5  My question is can I upgrade my bootcamp  4 on the Windows side to 5 without reinstalling Windows and repartioning?

  • Windows 7 upgrade option update (Microsoft and Lenovo

    All:
    Edit: Lenovo link added
    http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/windows7/index.html?ipromoID=wnb00492&
    Here's the information from Microsoft about the update program. Hopefully there will be an announcement soon from .... hardware vendors
    Announcing the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program & Windows 7 Pricing – Bring on GA!
    http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/06/25/announcing-the-windows-7-upgrade-option...
    As Brad discussed in the video, today we’re announcing details for the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, pricing, and a special pre-order offer for select markets.
    But first, I want to talk a little bit more about GA and the worldwide availability of Windows 7. We’ve really focused a lot of our efforts on getting the product out to as many people around the world as quickly as possible. OEMs will start shipping PCs with Windows 7 in all language versions beginning on GA, October 22nd.
    And for our retail software, we’ve made significant strides in terms of timing. Gone are the days when it could take months for all language versions to be available. In fact – we’ve narrowed the gap to just over ONE week!
    On October 22nd, Windows 7 will be available in the following 14 languages: English, Spanish, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Chinese (Hong Kong).
    Then on October 31st, the remaining 21 languages will become available: Turkish, Czech, Portuguese, Hungarian, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Greek, Ukrainian, Romanian, Arabic, Lithuanian, Bulgarian, Estonian, Slovenian, Hebrew, Thai, Croatian, Serbian Latin, and Latvian.
    Windows 7 truly is a global release and I’m excited to be able to tell my international friends that when I say Windows 7 will be available for the holidays – I mean everywhere in the world.
    But, you don’t have to wait until GA to get a new Windows PC. In fact, we know many people need that new PC sooner – for back to school specifically. And we have the answer for people who need a new PC now but still want to get Windows 7 and that’s the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, which kicks off tomorrow, June 26th! Anyone who buys a PC from a participating OEM or retailer with Windows Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate on it will all receive an upgrade to the corresponding version of Windows 7 at little or no cost to customers. The Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program will be available until January 31st, 2010 – and is global! For more information on taking advantage of the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, visit www.windows.com/upgradeoffer.
    Another one of the most common questions I get is: how much will Windows 7 cost? Well, today we’re sharing these details.
    For Windows 7, we are reducing the price on our most popular retail product for customers, the Home Premium Upgrade, by approximately 10% (depending on the market). In the U.S., this means a customer buying Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade will pay only $119.99 instead of the $129.99 being charged today for its predecessor.
    Overall, customers will be paying less and getting more with Windows 7. This includes fun new features such as HomeGroup, Device Stage, Aero Shake, Snap, Peek, Jump Lists and our completely redesigned Windows Taskbar (one of my favorite new features in Windows 7 today). These new features make your PC simpler and much easier to use.
    So here’s the low-down on pricing for Windows 7. The estimated retail prices for upgrade packaged retail product of Windows 7 in the U.S. are:
    Windows 7 Home Premium (Upgrade): $119.99
    Windows 7 Professional (Upgrade): $199.99
    Windows 7 Ultimate (Upgrade): $219.99
    And the estimated retail prices for full packaged retail product of Windows 7 in the U.S. are:
    Windows 7 Home Premium (Full): $199.99
    Windows 7 Professional (Full): $299.99
    Windows 7 Ultimate (Full): $319.99
    This means that Windows 7 Home Premium full retail product is $40.00 less than Windows Vista Home Premium today.
    As Brad describes in the video, for Europe, we will not have a separate upgrade SKU for the packaged retail product versions of Windows 7 at GA. But we will be offering upgrade pricing on our full licenses to make sure that European customers who want to upgrade have the pricing options available in the rest of the world.
    Finally, as a way of saying thank you to our loyal Windows customers, we are excited to introduce a special time limited offer! We will offer people in select markets the opportunity to pre-order Windows 7 at a more than 50% discount. In the US, this will mean you can pre-order Windows 7 Home Premium for USD $49.99 or Windows 7 Professional for USD $99.99. You can take advantage of this special offer online via select retail partners such as Best Buy or Amazon, or the online Microsoft Store (in participating markets).
    This program begins tomorrow in the U.S., Canada and Japan. The offer ends July 11th in the U.S. and Canada and on July 5th for Japan or while supplies last. Customers in the UK, France and Germany, can pre-order their copy of Windows 7 starting July 15th and will run until August 14th (or supplies last) to ensure folks don’t miss out on this. Act fast if you want to be the first in line to get Windows 7 at this screaming deal! Note: The special low pre-order price will vary per country.
    For more information on this special pre-order offer,
    I am really excited to be sharing these Windows 7 announcements with you today. Because of the great feedback we received from you, we are confident we are poised to deliver a great product this fall!

    Having purchased my Thinkpad T500 two weeks ago, I'll be a little miffed if I am not eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 7.  However, my pain will be eased a little by the TechNetPlus subscription that will allow me to download and install the RTM bits sometime in mid-to-late July.
    I really do think Microsoft continues to miss the boat on their retail OS and Office pricing.  Keep Windows between $50 and $100, and Office $75 to $150 and you're going to have loads of people buying instead of seeking out ways to not pay for it.

  • Windows 10 upgrade failure

    16G with 8.1 ProWindows 10 compatibility test passed without incident on both devices and applications. Windows 10 upgrade failed on Windows update and it can't be solved by "Microsoft Fix It" or other manual maneuvers like dele Windows update tem files, stop BITS...etc Upon using USB Media Creation Tool to install the update, it passed all the "Downloads, find updates, space and system checking and proceded to final installation. Unfortunately it always stooped at 24% of "Installing Windows" without any error code but a "Something Happened" dialogbox. Tried clean boot but got the same result. (BTW the languageand locale all been set to the United States, the HP Bios and all updates are current). I love HP and trust their words of capable to upgrade to Windows 10 when I bought this desktop, but now I'm frustrated.   

    I had the same  problem upgrading on my HP Sleekbook 14. Tried 3 times after doing several "repairs". Still get the very cryptic "something has happened" small window after about one hour of install processing. Finally tried to start the clean install to see what questions etc it would ask. It asks for a liscense number and did not accept the 8.1 Pro number I originall had. It seems to be asking for an actual Win 10 number. Obviously I don't have one since it is an upgrade. What number does one use when using the clean install from DVD? Thanks!

  • Windows 8 upgrade via newer systems??

    Hi there
    I have read numerous post on this board by HP staff helping people upgrade to Windows 8.
    One staff member said that their maybe other versions of the same machine that have been tested already that use the same hardware.
    My machine:
    HP Pavilion dv7-4143ea Entertainment  :XD964EA#ABU 
    has not been tested for windows 8.
    I was wondering if newer versions had?
    The problems I had when i tried out the upgrade was: no switchable graphics,  no fingerprint scanning , no esata, no synaptic touch(basic functionality) 
    I appreciate any help with this matter

  • Synaptics touchpad doesn't scroll after Windows 10 upgrade

    I installed the Windows 10 upgrade today (From Windows 7) and now the scroll function on my touchpad doesn't work and it's driving me CRAZY not to be able to scroll!  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Synaptics driver without success. Help! Thank you!

    Hi: That happened to me too on my HP 350 G1. On mine, I went into the control panel, and I changed the view to Large Icons (because it is easier for me to find stuff that way). Then I found a Synaptics Luxpad control panel icon. I clicked on that and found that the scrolling feature was unchecked. I checked it, hit apply and close and now I can scroll again.

  • Stuck in a "loop" at the login window after upgrading to Leopard

    I bought a new iMac Oct 26. It contained Tiger, and included a disk for installing Leopard. I easily got the machine up and running using Tiger, but last night I attempted to install Leopard. When the installation was complete, I tried to get it running. A screen asking for my password came up. I keyed that in and hit logon. Back came the screen asking for the password. To make long story short, I tried everything I could last night, and then called Apple Support this morning. Took quite a while, but I was back in business this afternoon. The technician who helped me sent me the email copied below describing the solution. Perhaps it will help someone else? Romelle
    Hello from Apple!
    Charles at Apple Service & Support thought that you might find this article useful. We hope that it helps resolve your technical issue.

    Mac OS X 10.5, iMac (Late 2007): Stuck in a "loop" at the login window after upgrading to Leopard
    Issue or symptom
    After installing Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard on a 20-inch or 24-inch iMac (Late 2007) computer, you may not be able to log in at the login window. Your login name and password are apparently accepted, but after a blue screen appears for a few seconds, the login window reappears instead of your desktop.
    Products affected
    20-inch or 24-inch iMac (Late 2007) computer with 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processors
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Solution
    If Leopard is installed
    Start up from the Leopard Install DVD and perform an Archive and Install installation (and select Preserve Users and Network Settings).
    After the Archive and Install is complete, you should be able to successfully log in. Use Software Update to install any other updates.
    Important: Install the iMac Software Update 1.3 for Leopard after the Archive and Install is complete.
    If Leopard is not yet installed
    If you have not yet installed Leopard on your 20-inch or 24-inch aluminum iMac computer with a 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processor running Mac OS X 10.4.x, but previously installed the iMac Software Update 1.2, you should install the iMac Software Update 1.2.1 (Tiger) or later, before installing Leopard.
    Thank you,
    Apple

    If Leopard came pre-installed and this is a new machne, then the disks that came in the box should let you archive install preserving users & network settings. The disks have a grey label, and if you get more than one use disk #1 for this procedure.
    Hold down the "option" (also known as "alt" on the new keyboards) key when starting up with disk #1 in the optical drive. Select the install disk icon on the grey screen and click the arrow. Then when you get to the "select destination pane, click the options button after selecting your hard drive as the destination. In options A& I preserving should be checked by default, if not, select them. Click "ok" to dismiss the options pane, then run the installation.
    If this does not work for you, call apple support. They want everything to work. Be patient, they are real busy these days.

  • [Desktop 3000 K100] Successful Windows 7 upgrade/install?

    Hi,
    I recently decided to move from Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit to Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit on my Lenovo Desktop 3000 K100 machine.
    I already decided to go with a custom/clean install(I'm experienced in that area), instead of using the upgrade feature.
    The question is that, have any of You(the 3000 K100 owners) tried and successfully moved to Windows 7 themselves, and now are happily enjoying the new OS, with no issues?
    I've noticed that the K100 system is not listed in the "upgrade capable systems list":
    http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/hk/en/htmls/1256358540190.html
    But then again does Lenovo mean the actual "Free Windows 7 Upgrade Program", where they provide you with the free license for intended Windows 7 OS(you do pay for delivery of the Windows 7 dvd though, if I'm correct), or just that the drivers do not exist for the OS.
    If it's the second reason, then I believe there's no worries since many articles on the web said that Windows Vista is essentially Windows 7 in a newer candy wrapping. Hence all the drivers should be working fine and be compatible for it.
    I also ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisory, and at the beginning it told me that I should upgrade my Vista to SP1 before doing the upgrade. I did so successfully and now the Upgrade Advisory says that I'm set for the Windows 7(Not sure why I had to install SP1 thought, after all I'm doing a clean install). Even all the drivers were checked/marked as compatible for the Windows 7.
    Already made all the necessary backups so I'm good there.
    I did notice one post on these forums about the owner of 3000 K100 having major problems with Windows 7 upgrade. The post is located here:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Discussion/desktop-3000-K100-Windows-7-upgrade-problem-STOP-0x...
    He did mention that he had made a bios update, and that might have been the main problem(I never touch bios, nor update it unless it is essential thing to do for me), but then again I may be very wrong about it.
    So here I'm asking You, the owner of 3000 K100, if the move from Windows Vista to Windows 7 was smooth for you, or did you encouter problems and therefore should I stay away from that idea?

    HI,
    i've a Lenovo 3000 K100 with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits : it's working very well. No drivers to install, very stable.

  • Windows 2003 SP2 = 2008 R2 SP1 Upgrade 62% Rollback

    Hello,
    we have to upgrade our Windows Server 2003 SP2 x64 (DC), to Windows 2008 R2 SP1.
    Unfortunately, a clean install is not an option.
    The server is a virtual machine. Therefore, first we make a clone, for a test upgrade, of the server.
    Adprep and domainprep was successful. Problematic Software: Acronis, DaemonTools, Kasperksy.. is uninstalled.
    Will upgraded with a clean iso, downloaded from the VLSC.
    All Windows 2003 updates have been installed and a clean-boot (msconfig : MS services, no startup items), was done.
    During the upgrade, we download the installation updates (Get important updates for installation).
    The environment variable MIG_UPGRADE_IGNORE_PLUGINS = IphlpsvcMigPlugin.dll was already tried in another upgrade.
    We have the setupact.log (33MB) from the \$Windows folder.~ BT\Sources\Panther\ . But can't found the error.
    The Upgrade stops at 62%:
    Then the server reboots and performs a rollback :
    What can we do?
    Regards,
    Stefan

    Hi Stefan,
    Stopped at 62% is a common issue which could be caused by many factors.
    First I suggest you to remove all unnecessary devices like printer, USB device etc.
    Also try to uninstall drivers for hardware devices. I noticed that many applications are already deleted in troubleshooting process so check if any unnecessary program still exists.
    If issue still exists, try check disk and SFC.
    The last option is to perform an in-place upgrade with Windows Server 2003 and try the 2008 upgrade again. 
    We
    are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this
    interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time.
    Thanks for helping make community forum a great place.

  • New Satellite L50-C - wont allow updates and windows 10 upgrade, keeps asking to restart

    Hi, hope someone can help:I picked up a new laptop yesterday with windows 8.1 installed and followed the prompts to upgrade to windows 10.  The computer downloaded what I presume were the updates for 8.1 to get it up to date before starting the windows 10 installation.  It has also downloaded the data for the windows 10 upgrade as I am now getting the prompt telling me the upgrade is ready to install.However, when I click on 'start the upgrade now' in the windows 10 upgrade box the laptop just restarts and boots back up to a windows 8.1 login.  Once logged into desktop Windows Update opens up and tells me that I need to restart to complete install of updates.  I click on the restart and the computer restarts but with no message telling me during the restart process that updates are installing as you might usually expect.  The boot-up then bring me back to the same point (login screen, then win8.1 desktop and Windows update again popping up asking for a restart).  I have followed these prompts and done several restarts thinking that it is working through bringing the updates in one by one however the update list doesn't vary when I check:  I ran the troubleshooter for update and got the following message: However even after doing this a couple of times I still have the same problem.  After reading up on these forums and elsewhere I tried running sfc/scannow (no issues detected).Can anyone help?  

    Which Satellite L50-C? There is a label on the bottom.

    I have the HP-Pavilion VA284AAR-ABA IQ546T Touchscreen All-in-one
    It originally shipped with Vista, but during the period you could upgrade to Windows 7, which I did as soon as I got it. I love it (only wish it had HDMA out, but that is another issue).
    Just upgraded to Windows 8 Pro using their donload Upgrade system. It ran great. Worked like my android tablet with regards to touchscreen capability. Could swipe to get the sidebar with search charms on the right and swipe from the left to get other open windows, It was truley wonderful. Then while looking at some settings functions there was a suggestion that my computer preformance was lagging and I should refresh my system.
    First of all when I think of the word refresh, I think about splashing a little seabreaze on my face,,,that is refreshing. What happened to my computer after hitting refresh was more like Brad Pitt getting a facelift to look like me. Not Happy.
    Now none ot the touchscreen features work other than moving and hitting tiles. Gone is the ability to swipe to mover the entire screen to the right or left or up and down. No more opening the charms bar with a right side swipe. It is like the touchscreen only works halfway. I know this is an old machine in Tech terms, but I know it will work, because it did. Please offer drivers under windows 8 to restore full functionality of the touchscreen to this product. I know your web sight says that there are limitations to the touch features because of the bezel, but I know it works, I 've seen it work and it was a thing of beauty. ( I tried restore, but ther is no restore point prior to refresh) Please warn others about the evils of the refresh option ant to try to establish a restore point before that. Lonng time HP buyer and supporter, please help.

  • Offline install of Windows 7 SP1 not recognised by Windows Update

    Hi
    I have asked this question over at the Windows Community forum, and someone suggested that I ask here.
    This question regards Windows 7 and Service pack 1
    I bought a couple of new computers, and decided to use the offline SP1 installation on each to get the computers up to date when I first configured them.
    So I downloaded the offline update iso from Microsoft, created a DVD and installed SP1.
    After configuring my computer, I then connected windows update to get all fixes etc since SP1.
    To my dismay windows update has presented me with a list of *all* updates, including SP1.
    Is there any way of getting Windows update to recognise the fact that I already have SP1 installed?
    Further info:
    This is the procedure I went through.
    1) Built the computers
    2) Installed Windows 7
    3) Installed hardware device drivers
    4) Installed SP1 from DVD
    5) Connected to the internet
    6) Activated Windows
    7) Used Windows Update
    8) Installed the fix/patch required for windows update to work
    9) re-connected to windows update
    10) Was dismayed at the list of fixes requiring download. (around 148)
    After going through the process of downloading the updates, at around the time of the second re-boot, the list of updates included Service Pack 1.
    AV Software was going to be the next thing to install, after the computer was *fully* patched
    Further Further informatio :)
    I have since gone ahead and installed Windows on my second computer.
    I'm still interested in finding a solution for future reference.
    After installing Windows7 and applying the offline SP1 update, I checked to see what updates were installed before
    activation and connecting to windows update.
    These are the updates listed.
    1) Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 (KB976902)
    2) Update for MS Windows (KB976902)
    3) User Mode Driver framework V1.11 (KB2685813)
    4) KB958488 (the list just haqd the kb number, no title)
    5) Hot Fix for Windows (KB2505454)

    Hi Daz,
    You mentioned that the SP1 prompted again in the needed updates, I suspect that that is not the full service pack, it is only some changes to existing non-security content, appropriate 10 MB size. you can check the size of the update to confirm
    this.
    See more information in this link

    And after you have manually installed the updates offline, have you checked whether these updates are listed in the "installed updates", or in Update history? And you can check the new detected updates, whether they have been successfully installed
    in your system. Meanwhile, when you check for updates online, please check your Windows Update settings, we recommend you to check for important updates, not optional updates or hotfix. You can install the optional update or hotfix when you need it in the
    future.
