Problem after disabling windows features.
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help but the error message that I got gave me a hunch that it was here. I disabled some windows features that I was sure I wasn't using and after some time I noticed that I actually needed IE9 because of compatibility issues with my campu's homepage.
Now to the problem, after re-enabling IE9 and other features of windows i got the message "Configuring Windows updates x% complete Do not turn off your computer." while restarting and after the restart it got stuck for a good couple of hours at "Preparing to configure Windows. Do not turn off your computer." After that I had to do a system restore and tried to re-enable the windows features and kept getting the same error.
I don't want to screw up my OS so I thought this was the place to ask because the problem itself had no error codes, the computer was stuck with a windows update message.
My question is, Can I turn on/off the windows features again without freezing/restoring my system? I followed the instructions in the sticky, if it helps I was using a custom theme for windows but I am in doubt if that was the cause of the problem.
