Windows Update Crashing my Tablet

I have a Samsung Ativ that I have had problems with since I got it. I get the "KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED "
error when I update the tablet. I was able to get it into Windows 8.1 but I can't plug it in and run windows without the error. I am on my fifth time of refreshing the tablet and I am down to 19 updates and not sure which update my tablet
doesn't like. Help!

Hi,
Please know that this update is to revoke noncompliant UEFI boot loader modules.
To avoid the issue of crashing your system, we recommend that you apply this update after you remove noncompliant UEFI modules from your system to make sure that the system can successfully start, and consider upgrading to compliant UEFI modules if they
are available.
Detailed information, you can refer to this KB article:
Microsoft security advisory: Update to revoke noncompliant UEFI boot loader modules

Windows update crashes with a blue screen to restart

windows updates were in the process of download , and the internet crashed before i finish the updates , and when the internet came back , instead of continuing to download the rest of the update , it said install as it's fully downloaded
and whenever i press install it gets blue screen with a thread_pointer exception i guess
so , why there is no option to redownload the update from the beginning ??
i tried to restore the pc before any updates but it crashed on the same point so i don't know why and how to fix this

my operating system is windows 8.1
my lap is toshiba core i5 ram 4

i searched alot but i couldn't fix it
thanks

In order to assist you, we will need the .DMP files to analyze what exactly occurred at the time of the crash, etc.
If you don't know where .DMP files are located, here's how to get to them:
1. Navigate to the
%systemroot%\Minidump folder.
2. Copy any and
all DMP files in the Minidump folder to your Desktop and then zip up these files.
3. Upload the zip
containing the .DMP files to Onedrive or a hosting site of your choice and paste in your reply. Prefered sites: Onedrive, Mediafire, Dropbox, etc. Nothing with wait-timers.
4 (optional): The
type of .DMP files located in the Minidump folder are known as Small Memory Dumps. In %systemroot% there will be what is known as a Kernel-Dump (if your system is set to generate). It is labeled MEMORY.DMP. The difference between Small Memory Dumps and Kernel-Dumps
in the simplest definition is a Kernel-Dump contains much more
information at the time of the crash, therefore allowing further debugging of your issue. If your upload speed permits it, and you aren't going against any strict bandwidth and/or usage caps, etc, the Kernel-Dump is the best choice. Do note that Kernel-Dumps
are much larger in size due to containing
much more info, which is why I mentioned upload speed, etc.
If you are going to use Onedrive but don't know how to upload to it, please visit the following:
Upload photos and files to Onedrive.
Please note that any "cleaner" programs such as TuneUp Utilities, CCleaner, etc, by default will delete .DMP files upon
use.
If your computer is not generating .DMP files, please do the following:
1. Start > type
%systemroot% which should show the Windows folder, click on it. Once inside that folder, ensure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to make a New Folder and name it Minidump.
2. Windows key +
Pause key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Performance > Settings > Advanced > Ensure there's a check-mark for 'Automatically manage paging file size for all drives'.
3. Windows key +
Pause key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings > System Failure > ensure there is a check mark next to 'Write an event to the system log'.
Ensure Small Memory Dump is selected and ensure the path is %systemroot%\Minidump.
4. Double check
that the WERS is ENABLED:
Start > Search > type services.msc > Under the name tab, find Windows Error Reporting Service > If the status of the service is not Started then right click it
and select Start. Also ensure that under Startup Type it is set to Automatic rather than Manual. You can do this by right clicking it, selecting properties, and under General selecting startup type to 'Automatic', and then click Apply.

Feb Windows Update Crashes IIS

Running Windows 2012 Server Standard. Running IIS 8 with MVC3. .NET 3.5 and .NET 4
Updated the Feb-18 updates and now IIS crashes as soon as first person connects to IIS (running HTTPS).
The exception is below. We updated 2 servers and they both had problem. We rolled back the windows updates on one server and that server works now. I have left the second server in screwed up state in case Microsoft has questions and needs more
details.
Thank,

PATCH TUESDAY SEPT 10 WINDOWS UPDATE CRASHED MY SOFTWARE

MY WORD, EXCEL DOCUMENTS ARE CORRUPT.
SYSTEM RESTORES GOING BACK TO SEPT 4TH ARE NOT WORKING. I GET A MESSAGE SAYING THE RESTORE DID NOT WORK. WHEN I LOG BACK ONTO MY LAPTOP, I HAVE A WINDOW SAYING THE RESTORE WAS SUCCESSFUL AND ALL SEEMS TO WORK WELL.
HOWEVER, WHEN I REBOOT, FILES ARE CORRUPT. I'VE NOTICED THAT DURING THE REBOOT, WINDOWS PERFORMS UPDATES.
DON'T WANT TO ATTEMPT MANUFACTURER'S RESTORE AS I BELIEVE IT WILL ERASE ALL MY DATA.
DID ANYONE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND HOW DID YOU FIX IT?
THINKING OF CONTACTING HP TO REINSTALL SOFTWARE. IF SOMEONE EXPERIENCED AND SUCCESSFULLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU. THANK YOU.

Hi
No Need to panic there some other users who are facing similar issues after doing the windows update.
What you can do is turn of windows update for some time so that the update does not go through again and Microsoft will have a fix patch or update very soon. You can Turn On windows updates after a week or 15 days by that time Microsoft would have updated a patch on the update.

After updating to Windows 8.1, Windows Explorer crashes.

Hello, I have recently updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. When it finished the install and reboot, it went to my desktop where my background image was gone, Kaspersky Pure 3.0 was gone, and Windows Explorer crashes every time it is opened. The other
two problems are not as big of a problem right now so I searched around for a fix on this issue. I found that some applications, specifically Autodesk, were causing conflicts. I don't have Autodesk but I decided to update everything anyways. I reinstalled
Kaspersky, fully updated it and ran a scan to see if it was a virus, which it is not. I updated AVG 2014 free, Malwarebytes free, and many others. I also ran Windows Update. I ran CCleaner to see if it would fix the problem and it didn't either. I looked at
the error report and saw that it was caused by StackHash_35ff, which through further investigation turned out to be a fancy term for nothing. What is my problem? I really don't want to restore to an older version because I've spent the better part of the day
allowing Windows 8.1 to bother me. Please help because I'm out of ideas and nothing from other responses seemed to be the solution.

Okay, so the above worked. I ended the Com Surrogate task, the went into cmd and typed in these two commands;
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
Everything seems to be back in order. I hope this helps anyone who has the same problem, seeing as no one else came up with this solution.

Windows Update Causing CS6 Photoshop x64 to crash at "Measuring Memory"

Hello,
This started on the 28th when we received a batch of Windows updates on our machines. The next day the eight users who have this installed are no longer able to open the 64 bit version of Photoshop. Each time it will get to "Measuring Memory" and then crash with no events in the Event Viewer. I have tried to remove the Windows updates manually with no luck. The only way to get it back to working is to do a System Restore. When doing some troubleshooting I discovered that if I use log in on the workstation that is crashing with my account then Photoshop 64 bit will open for me and get past the measuring memory. So I tried to figure out what relationship photoshop has with the users account and all I found was the users "Settings/Preferences". I had the user log back in and went to the location of that file and removed the 64 bit version. I then opened Photoshop back up and it created a new file but still crashed on measuring memory.
If you have other suggestions or knowledge of what else is tied to the users account. I should also mention that the 32 bit version works fine on the machine for all the users.
Thank you for your help.

Bump. Still looking for help.
I have tried to run all Windows updates and then uninstall and re install Adobe Photoshop both 32-bit and 64-bit. The system still crashes. In the event viewer I am getting this:

Photoshop CS6 (cloud) crashes after auto Windows update

My Photoshop CS6 (cloud version and actiive) has started crashing as soon as I load an image.
This problem began after an auto update of Windows 7
It took several tries before the Windows update to work (got error message saying Windows could not install updates) until this morning when the update was successfully installed. Now PS CS6 has stopped working. So far no other software affected (although I have lots of programs so I may not have had a problem with one I haven't used yet today)
RR

Yes. I put them off, until I have some time to troubleshoot things, if all is not perfect. I might need to get a Project off the computer, and delivered, or just need a couple of spare hours to dink around.
I am big on updating, but on MY terms.
I have every program, that I can think of, set about the same way. Two biggest crashes that I have ever had were when Java updated, during a PS Save operation, and when Logitech's SetPoint updated during a program install. In both cases, I had just missed setting those programs' auto update, and the second one was truly catastrophic, and even my Norton Ghost could not save my bacon - took about 3 days, with a low-level reformat to get everything fixed. I mean it was a simple mouse driver update, for gosh sakes!
I do not want anything going on in the background, unless I direct it to do so, and I also search every program's options, when installed, to set updates to manual.
I have several issues with some of Windows' default settings, but know most pretty well, and know all that I must adjust, when installing a new OS. Some, like display of file extensions, are such second-nature for me, that in the forums, I forget that not everyone will have changed that, and some other settings.
Can't wait to see what Windows 8 will bring me...

T61 hard drive crashed due to Windows Updates

I posted in this forum a few months back about my hard drive crashing as a result of a windows update. I can't find the the thread and it really contained some useful advice/instructions on steps I could take to troubleshoot and fix my problem. If there is no way to restore the drive, I basically want to get the data off of that hard drive. I don't know if I will be able to recover any of the software (which is depressing), but at least the data on the drive. Is there any way to do this? If so, could you post the steps? BTW, I know NOTHING about how to do this, I'm a front-end coder. Never built or done any serious trouble-shooting of a PC.
(was) running Windows XP
thanks!

Hello,
I wonder if the file system on the hard disk drive migth have some corruption which is preventing it from booting up as it normally should.
See if you can boot the computer in Safe Mode with Command Prompt by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as it powers up. From there, try running CHKDSK C: /F /R command (which may require a reboot and will likely take some time) and see if that fixes the issue.

Hi,
Please check if the file exists in %systemroot%\system32\.
If it exists, please run the following command to register it and see how it works.
regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\mstscax.dll
Hope this helps.

3/11/15 Windows Update killed bluetooth on Thinkpad Tablet 2

So I just finished installing Windows updates from March 11 and my Bluetooth on my Thinkpad Tablet 2 is suddenly disabled. Anyone else having this problem?
I can't access Bluetooth settings. On the devices Control Panel, there is no Bluetooth Device under networking, but a Serial Bus device is displaying an error message. Disabling/Enabling the device and restarting does not help. It cannot be uninstalled, and when I try to update the driver it says there are no new drivers available.
I manually downloaded the latest BT driver from Lenovo support (it is several months old) and after it completes the re-installation/repair, there is still no BT. It seems like the driver is simply incompatible with the newly updated Windows OS. Let me know if you have any other ideas. Otherwise, Lenovo should be alerted to this problem so they can fix it.
I rely on my tablet daily for work and it's a major inconvenience when it becomes disabled by a routine update. The TPT2 is designed for use with the BT Keyboard.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Something's definitely gone wrong. I can enable Bluetooth, and can pair with my Windows Phone, but I can no longer share files from my phoine to the Tablet. That alone is a big pain in the butt.
I rarely use my bluetooth keyboard. It always had the same problem that at some random point, it woudl disconnect from the Tablet, and the only way to get it to reconnect was to cycle the Bluetooth on and off. Easier said than done when the tablet is docked. I gave up after a while, and use either a Logitech wireless keyboard or usb keyboards.
The March Rollup ironically included a fix that specifcially addressed the keyboard lock out. Apparenttly, if the PC had BT 4.0 (which ours does), and it could see other devices other than just the keyboard, then it would disconnect the keyboard, and cycling power on the keyboard would not fix the problem. The MS patch was designed to fix this specific issue. I don't recall the KB #.
That said, hopefully Lenovo will see these issues being reported, and update the drivers.

Blue Screen Crash Running Windows Update on Reboot

I installed Windows 7 and Boot Camp Support Software. Installation went smoothly and no problems. When I run Windows Update, it requires a system reboot; however, each time I boot into the Windows partition, I get the dreaded blue screen of death. Then on reboot, Windows runs startup repair and restores the last installation. I think the problem might be that I am installing too many updates at a single time but not sure if it's something to do with the Boot Camp partition. I deleted the Windows partition and reinstalled Boot Camp but the problem persists. Windows 7 works fine, but can't seem to install updates.

Did you get the Apple drivers installed off your OS X DVD?
Is that what you mean by "reinstalled Boot Camp" ?
Did you get Apple Software Update (in Windows of course) up to Boot Camp 3.2?
Try getting those installed before Windows updates more.
No need to 'delete' Windows partition, just do a custom clean format and install what you meant?
No need to deal with Boot Camp Assistant again, all that does is set aside and create a partition to begin with.
