stuck on applying update operation

[Nate123]

Hi, whenever I try to start windows I get applying update operation 414 of 414 (\Registry\Machine\Compnent\I...)

I've tried to repair startup and I get a message similar to this

Problem signature
Startup repair offline
1 - 6.1.7600.16385
2 - 6.1.7600.16385
3 - unknown
4 - 21200332
5 - autofailover
6 - 4
7 - NoRootCause

Any help would be appreciated

also if I press the hold the power button it goes into sleep mode but if I hold the power button while its resuming from sleep it will turn off

Try a System Restore from http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/668-system-recovery-options.html as far back as necessary.

oh yea forgot to add, no system restore points were created/are there

 

[gregrocker]

Windows Update always creates a Restore point so I would be sure, or you have some deeper system issues if it isn't.

How did you attempt to run System Restore exactly? Try it from the disk.

f8 > repair your computer > select keyboard > enter PW > system restore

also this happened after I shutdown my computer because it was stuck on preparing to configure windows for an hour

 

[gregrocker]

The only way I'm aware to resolve this is via System Restore, so try again from the disk http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/668-system-recovery-options.html.

well that doesn't work but I am able to look at all my files on my win 7 partition because I have an Ubuntu installation cd , anything I can do in there to fix this?

 

[gregrocker]

I asked our Updates expert to look at this so stand by.

Back up any files you need using the Ubuntu disk meanwhile as you might be faced with doing a http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html#post1839164. If you haven't done one yet then you're long overdue since its a vastly superior install to the factory install which is always one of the worst installs of Win7 one can have.

 

[Nate123]

okay, starting to back up. thanks

hmm I tried last successful configuration startup and it booted into windows fine, it installed an update, then restarted.
then it booted up into windows.. said failure configuring windows reverting update... restarted... booted into windows ... said failure configuring windows updates reverting changes again.

 

[Nate123]

and now its been on there for 30min

Until Noel comes around work through Windows Update - Reset - Windows 7 Forums ,

System Update Readiness Tool fixes Windows Update errors in Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2008 ,

and finally Windows Update Posting Instructions - Windows 7 Help Forums

Go back to the Last Known Good Configuration boot again - with luck it'll still work.
Then use the option to switch off Windows Update, and post back with details of the failing update, and

Please follow the Windows Update Posting Instructions and post the requested data
If the file is too large (8MB compressed), remove the older CBSPersist cab files until the final file is below the limit - you can always post them separately after zipping them. (the forum doesn't allow the upload of bare CAB files, for a number of reasons)
