win7 pro login screen auto shutdown after 55 second

super strange, this problem has come back... faced it about 1.5 years ago, and it fixed itself... just ran the latest set of windows updates (4 total i think)... and now my computer keeps rebooting at the login screen... after exactly 55 seconds after i see my login wallpaper. i have disabled auto restart, but it doesn't obey it... i bypassed my battery backup for my HP desktop. didnt help
i ran the windowsPE repair, and the windows built in startup repair.
this happened awhile ago as i posted, but if i entered my password before the 55 seconds, i was good... i am now unable to enter it because windows is configuring the latest updates... please wait and then black screen, power off, and reboot (with no reboot error screen)

tried safe mode, same thing, tried last know good config, same

when i was able log in 1.5 years ago, i looked at my event viewer and said it was kernal power

Hi Pj,

Welcome to the 7forums :)

i looked at my event viewer and said it was kernal power

A kernel power event is the result of a shutdown that happens unexpected, unless someone is not aware of it the event is not informative.

i bypassed my battery backup for my HP desktop

What exactly does this mean?

Do you know what updates are attempted to be installed?

I do have an idea, lets first see if we can find the updates :)
Please enter following command in a command prompt that you may find in the troubleshooting options

Code:

wmic qfe get hotfixid,installedon

It'll give a list of installed updates with their installation date, example from my Windows 10 system:
Attachment 390441

   Note

In case of question, I tested it on my Windows 7 VM

hey axe0, thanks for the replys.. i am at work, but will check when i get home today...
im pretty sure the updates were: see attachment



this was from my win7 pro 64bit work machine...
again, this is a guess, i will check when home later tonight. thanks again!

pj

Please enter following commands

Code:

wusa /uninstall /kb:175443
wusa /uninstall /kb:177725
wusa /uninstall /kb:178034

After each command, a pop-up might show requesting for a reboot.
Click 'No' 2 times.
Click 'Yes' the last time.

also, i thought maybe i would try booting from an old drive (cloned from that same PC last year, it was starting to fail... so i changed it out...) would that tell me something? hardware, versus software at least huh?
i can boot into bootdisks (ubuntu, winPE) allday long, never will shut down.

I would advice to not try it, it may cause more problems.

You can boot from them, because they use only the RAM.

The problem is, I do not know if the hard drive failing is because the file system caused problems or if the problem was the hard drive itself. I do not want you to risk unnecessary problems.
