Windows 7 keeps shutting down, particularly after Windows update and I am unable to start it other than in safe mode. I have tried last known good configuration which works for a while and then shuts down by itself. This has been happening since a couple months of after I installed this computer. Any ideas?

I hope to find an answer to my problem. I recently decided to upgrade from XP to Windows 7 in order to avoid end of support for my system. After a few days I see there are over 90 "important update" listed in the "Control PanelSystem and SecurityWindows UpdateSelect updates to install". I selected the first dozen or so to install only to find that a "Fatal Error" occurred that caused me to completely re-install Windows 7 and SP1. I now discover that some of these updates are dependent on others. To sum it up, my question is this: Is there a concise listing of Windows 7 updates and their date-order? Thanks for whatever help you can give. View this thread

It can located in on the control panel dialog box, but it takes me to an HP Help &amp Support page which can't process the necessary Active X add ins. It will also attempt to open Windows update in Firefox. I copy and paste the URL into Internet Explorer 8. The response is that Internet Explorer 5 or grater must be used. I also can't locate Windows Update using the Run dialog box. Any suggestions will be appreciated. View this thread

When I shut my laptop down last night it installed updates. When I booted it back up this morning it went through the normal boot-up process allowing me to login, displayed the Windows logo, then went to a black screen with a window saying: Personalized Settings Setting up personalized settings for: Web Platform Customizations It appears to stay on this indefinitely (3+ hours so far). Moving the mouse over the 'Personalized Settings' window displays the circular 'wait' cursor (ust an arrow cursor on the black background), and I am able to move the window around I am also able to start Task Manager, and reboot, but that's it. Rebooting doesn't fix the proble…

How to Solve EXPLORER .EXE error in the Beginning of the Operating System? I have Window 8 in my HP Laptop... Is there any Way to solve this Problem? Thank You in Advance.. View this thread

I have a Windows SBS 2011 x64 server that is apparently not allowing any Windows 7 pcs update. The units were previously giving errors stating that updates were managed by the server, and could not be updated manually. Automatic updates are not working either. I had gone ahead, and went into the Group Policy Manager on the server, and found that the windows 7 machines were not added to the Update Services Client Computers Policy. After I added the units, they are still not updating automatically, but you are able to get updates from the update website. Each time the unit fails to run Windows update it gets either error code 80072efd or 8024800a. Whenever any of these u…

The customer I’m working with is having difficulty applying KB 977894. The message they are receiving is “The update is not applicable to your computer.” The FAQ states you can install this update even if the Hyper-v role is not installed. Should they be able to install this update or is the FAQ incorrect? From FAQ in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/MS10-010 Will this update be offered even if I do not have Hyper-V enabled? This update can be installed manually on affected platforms even if the Hyper-V role is not enabled. However, the update will only be offered through Automatic Updates if the Hyper-V role is enabled.

On the 15th of March I logged off my computer and it began an install of part 1 of 5. It successfully completed the install of part 1 but went into a loop at part 2. I allowed it to run for 14 hours then, reluctantly forced a power down. I was pleasantly suprised when I was able to restart in Safe Mode and, performed a system restore to the 14th. I noticed the my free version of Avast antivirus had disappeared.....not disabled but no longer there. I reinstalled the Avast, completed my work for the day shut down and went into an install part 1 of 4 update (presumably the 4 parts from the previous day that failed to install) and immediately went into the same loop. This p…

I'm using a Satellite TOSHIBA about 5 years old. Trying to download WINDOWS Updates has caused me some concern. Normally I would expect a download from WINDOWS to be around 120 - 145 mbt/s but all I can get is an 8%-10% download then a stop. I've tried this in a good downloading spot with a high speed internet (WiFi) during peak and not so peak hours. The downloader is a tad slow for my preferences but should not be for a WINDOWS Update.

My system (Win 7 64-bit) has been trying to install the KB2814124 update for a while now and it always hangs at &quotinstalling update 1 of 1...&quot I've run Fixit and it says it's fixing something with Windows Update, but that specific update still won't install, even though others have just fine. Is there some way I can download this file myself and install it without using Windows Update? Everything I've seen on the MS site says to use Windows Update, but that just isn't working for me.

I had a rootkit issue in 8/12. I thought Tss Killer had taken care of it however, I just realized that the damage done by the virus still remains. I read what I could on restoring the update process and tried everything. I ran the Fixit dude many times, no help at all. I read about recreating BITS and tried it but it does not seem to work. Update starts, says its downloading 70MB and then freezes, nothing happens, I've watched the processes and BITS is not running and update is not functioning. I managed to get system restore points to work again. I also just noticed my modem's power light was amber it's supposed to be green, so I reset it to the factory defaults. I r…
