    Updates Fail, Slow Response, Fail to Connect to a Windows Service, etc


    Hi, l've been having a constant issue with my computer and I can't seem to get out of this trouble no matter how many times I reinstall and even wipe out my hard drive.

    I wiped out everything in my hard drive and installed windows 7 Ultimate for the '7th' time, and the same problems happen every single time.

    Right after the install, it seems to work fine but as I install numerous windows updates as it recommended (almost forced me to, 'cause it does automatically), my computer becomes so slow in everything.

    It doesn't start up, the menu and such looks as if I'm in a safe mode (blocky and old looking) even if I manage to start it up, have to wait more than 15min or even 1hr for it to respond.

    The situation I'm having now is, the pop up message saying:
    "Failed to connect to a windows service: windows couldn't connect to the System Event Notification Service service. This prevents standard user from logging on to the system. As an administrative user, you can review the System Event Log for details about why the service didn't respond"

    Also, the computer has been failing at installing several updates such as:
    Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 for x64-based Systems
    Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2763523)(KB2719857)(KB2735855)(KB2750841)(KB2732059)


    Because of that, it sometimes ran chkdsk on the boot screen and deleted/fixed files.

    I don't think it's caused by virus 'cause I wiped out every single file in my hard drive before I reinstalled windows 7.
    (And obviously, my hard drive is almost empty because of that)

    Is it possible that either motherboard or hard drive is damaged and not working?
    Or do I need a new windows 7 OS?
    I don't understand why I'm having the same issues even after I reinstall and delete everything in my hard drive for the 7 times in total as I repeated many times.

    Please post
    1) an MGADiag report -
    Please follow this tutorial and post an MGADiag report - then we can see what the problem is.

    Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!

    Ignore errors produced when clicking on the Copy button - they simply mean that the tool could not create the backup files for some reason. The data is still copied to the clipboard for pasting to your response.

    MGADiag result


    Here's the MGADiag result.
    I don't think I have COA sticker because I built this computer.
    And I think my Windows OS is genuine because actually I posted a thread about a month ago, asking whether it's genuine or not, and it turned out to be genuine product. (You were in charge of that post, actually)

    On a side note, the updates that I listed above seems to be repeating install& uninstall back and forth due to failure or some reason.. (computer seems to be reverting back to the state where those updates are not yet installed)

    I see an average of 10 new MGADiag threads every day - I didn't remember yours :)

    Please post the results from teh Windows Update instructions - we can get started, then.
    The reason I asked for the MGADiag was simply that there's a common problem which is easily identified using the report, which gives very similar errors to the ones you're experiencing.

    the thing comes to my mind is that you may downloaded the wrong driver in your updating. try to install the latest drivers by your own.

    I'm in need of help!
    I can't run SFC Scan because it's preventing me from doing it.

    When I paste sfc /scannow and try to run it,
    the command prompt says:
    "There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run sfc again."

    So, I restarted my computer few times already, but it's still saying the same thing.
    I can't get out of the 'pending' status.

    I even checked the status of updates from 'View update history', but there's no 'pending' anywhere.
    Only 'successful' or 'failed' are there.

    Should I try System Restore?
    I'm hesitant to do something because it might make the problem more complicated.

    I suspect System Restore will also fail.

    Try this - it *may* work

    Open an ELevated Command Prompt and run the following command

    SC CONFIG TRUSTEDINSTALLER start= auto

    Close the window, and reboot. Wait 15 minutes and reboot again.

    Then try SFC again and see what happens.

    Sadly, it didn't work..
    It's the same as before.

    When the computer turns off, it says something like "preparing to configure Windows" "please don't turn off your computer" but never finishes the job.

    command prompt is also still saying there is a system repair pending.

    Also, the computer became slower in booting (long time of black screen before sending me to log in screen) and showed 'failed to connect to windows service' pop-up message once after running that command.

    I'm not surprised about the extended boot time - TrustedInstaller was probably trying to complete the install and failing.
    We'd better ensure that it's set back to its normal value.....
    Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following command

    SC CONFIG TRUSTEDINSTALLER start= demand

    close the window

    I doubt that CheckSUR will work either - but it's worth a try
    If it does, please post the results.

    Also...

    Please open Event Viewer
    In the left pane, navigate to the Windows Logs
    right-click on Applications and select 'Save all events as...' save as Apps.evtx
    repeat for the System logs - save as Sys.evtx
    Compress both files, and attach to your reply.
