    Computer uselss because of Windows Updates


    Hello,


    Months ago, your glorious updates messed up my computer. Just like always, I don't recall ever asking Windows to randomly shut down my computer, so it takes an hour or so updating. But it did, and users have always had little authority on their machines when it comes to Windows, so I just let it slide once again I mean, I was just doing something extremely important. It can wait. My boss can wait. We can all wait.


    The thing is, that update failed to load or some ****, and ever since, whenever I start up my computer, I expect the following cycle:

    1) Windows boots up

    2) Installing updates

    3) We couldn't complete the updates. Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer.

    4) Automatic restart

    5) We couldn't complete the updates. Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer.

    6) Automatic restart

    7) We couldn't complete the updates. Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer.

    8) Automatic restart

    9) We couldn't complete the updates. Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer.

    ...

    n) Finishes start up.


    This whole gracious process can take (and it usually takes) up to 2 hours.

    2 hours is a lot.

    This **** also happened during a meeting actually so check that out. Now I can't use this computer for anything important again for fear of a

    similar scene taking place again. That's a bit problematic considering it's the one computer I built for important matters.


    I talked to one of your support agents, and he kindly suggested me to disable windows updates from the services panel. So I did. And it worked.... once.

    By the second time I started up the machine, it prompted me that adorable warning "We're about to install some updates on your systems... etc etc".

    So what happened to the manual disable at the services panel?

    And when I want to shut it down, it doesn't give me any option to just shut it down. It's "Update and Shut Down".

    Oh yeah man.

    So it shut down after the update that I asked Windows to install was done. And when I started it up again.... There we go, the whole cycle again.


    I went into the services panel one more time to see if i had accidentally missed something or whatever. Idk, maybe I thought I had disabled it but it turns out I didn't right? So I checked it up and it was enabled and set to execute automatically on start up. Ok good, let's disable it again.

    And story repeated itself.


    I'm tired. I'm a sad person. I have problems.

    I don't want any more problems.

    It's my machine. I'm suppose to decide whether I want it to be up to date or not.


    What can I do, to never, ever again see any updates again. As in, ever again. I don't care about your new super gadgets or super mega CandyCrush v_60.3.14.

    I don't care about your super duper mega new safety measures oh dis time bad man no get password from you jiar jiar jiar.


    Let's be real here, all my information is everywhere, all my credit card numbers and passwords are in some basement leet hacker server, but nobody cares who I am so no one's using any of them. Hell, your government probably knows how many times I go to the toilet. So stop it, please.


    Let my computer be my computer again, let me choose whether or not I want the new best mega Paint4D and ultra notepad<br>supercode</div>C++ anti hackerman protection.

    But let me do it.

    Jesus.


    Lastly, give me, for the love of God, a final way to stop these adorable updates.


    Thank you very much.


    Eat your veggies.

    :)

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Computer uselss because of Windows Updates :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    Windows Updates failed to instal

    I'm not sure how differant XP media center Edition is but you could clear the history \ cache if these folders are there.

    Step 1 Register DLL files.

    =================

    By trying this step, we can check if the update engines are working properly.



    1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.

    2. Click Start and Run, type "Regsvr32 atl.dll" (without quotes) in the Open box and click OK.



    Note: There is a space between regsvr32 and atl.dll



    3. Similarly, one by one, register the files listed below:



    Regsvr32 msxml3.dll

    Regsvr32 wuapi.dll

    Regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

    Regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

    Regsvr32 wups2.dll

    Regsvr32 wucltui.dll

    Regsvr32 wups.dll

    Regsvr32 wuweb.dll

    Regsvr32 qmgr.dll

    Regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

    Regsvr32 jscript.dll



    Note: If you encounter errors while registering any of these files then skip that file and continue with the next one.



    If the issue persists, let's move on to the steps below to verify Windows Update services and temporary folders.



    Step 2 Verify the relevant Windows Update services.

    =========================================

    1. Click Start->Run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and click OK.

    2. Double click the service "Automatic Updates".

    3. Click on the Log On tab, please ensure the option "Local System account" is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is unchecked.

    4. Check if this service has been enabled on the listed Hardware Profile. If not, please click the Enable button to enable it.

    5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the button "Stop" under "Service Status" to stop the service.

    6. Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the service.

    7. Please repeat the above steps with the other services:



    Background Intelligent Transfer Service

    Event Log

    Remote Procedure Call (RPC)



    Note: Event log service is enabled on all of the hardware profiles; this service does not have an option to enable or disable on certain hardware profile.



    If it still does not help, let's proceed to step 3.



    Step 3 Reload the Update temporary folders.

    ===================================

    One possible cause is that the temporary folder for Windows Update is containing corrupted files. Let's erase all the files there to get the system clean.



    1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



    Net stop WuAuServ



    2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.

    3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.

    4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



    Net start WuAuServ



    Please test the Windows Update website and let me know the result. If the issue persists, to clarify the issue and provide more accurate troubleshooting steps, please assist me in collecting the following information.
