After a complete system restore everything works fine until Windows update start to configure over 100 updates. The computer restarts and i get the error message:
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or Software change might be the cause...
... File: CI.dll Status: 0x0000428 Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature of this file
i'm not able to get into windows after this (not possible with safe mode or last good configuratio options). The only way is to boot from my recovery disks. I have four system recoveried from discs and this happens every time after installing updates. Before the updates are installed things seem to work fine except a couple of BSOD problems but I'm able to come back in windows again.
I'm not very experienced with computer problems like this and have tried to search internet for similar issues without getting any help from that
No, everything is
not fine if the system is experiencing BSODs
before any updates are installed.
ci.dll is the Code Intergrity Module for checking drivers. What appears to be occurring is that a driver that can't be verified as being digitally signed is causing the BSODs.
I suspect that a driver is included in the installation of the over
100 updates.
Recommend that you first determine
why the BSODs are occurring.
Please see the
Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions
Then post the requested .zip file and system specs to the
Crashes and Debugging forum.
And, from 10 plus years experience of helping Users with updating issues, I
strongly suggest that one never install a massive amount of updates in one updating session.
Do them in groups of 10
at the most so if one update causes an issue you can determine which one it is much quicker than if 100 updates are installed simultaneously.
Please note, that
when you get the BSODs resolved the system can be updated much more efficiently by installing Service Pack 1 as it contains
almost all of the updates issued for Windows 7 so far.
The full, standalone of SP1 is supposed to contain all of the prerequisite updates needed to install SP1. However, due to MS rushing out Win 7 SP1 before it was actually ready for release, they may/will not all be present.
This Microsoft Knowledge Base article shows what is required prior to SP1 being offered by Windows Update -
You do not have the option of downloading Windows 7 SP1 when you use Windows Update to check for updates
Under
Method 2: Check for pending updates, there are 3 updates listed.
KB976902 is
included with the full, standalone of SP1. There is no need to download it.
KB2534366 is
not included and the link in the KB to download it from is
incorrect.
This is the
correct link:
Windows 7 Sp1 installation fails on a machine with all Language packs installed Error 0xC0000009A
KB2533552 is also,
not included :
An update that prevents a "0xC0000034" error message when you try to install Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 is available
Install the 2 updates
separately,
not at the same time, restarting the system after installing the first update.
Then check Method 3, 4, and 5, too, on the above KB article.
When all prerequisites have been met ...
Method 6 provides the link to the full, standalone of Windows 7 Service Pack 1.
You need to download and
save windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe , which is SP1 for your Win 7 x64 systems.
When the download completes create a folder on the root drive, the drive where Windows is installed on, usually, C:\
Name it SP or ServicePack or whatever suits yer fancy.
Move
windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe to the newly created folder.
Right click windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe, choose
Properties.
Click the
Unblock button towards the bottom right of the windows, then click Apply, then OK.
Now
right click windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe, choose 'Run as administrator', and agree to the UAC prompt.
Do the required restarts.
After SP1 is installed, install the remaining offered updates.
That will get your system updated until the next round of updates are offered tomorrow, June 14th.
