Failure Configuring Windows Updates Message While PC is Restarting

Efdy said:

Okay, I will leave this thread open. I always worry about being a bother or doing things wrong according to a website's policies, so thank you for the assurance about leaving this thread open for now. Sorry if email notifications for activity in this thread got annoying. I hope you didn't get one every time I used the button to edit my posts.

No need to worry, you haven't done anything wrong. And it's no bother, we're all here to help each other. :)
Personally, I don't have notifications switched on for any threads or forums, I just come on and check when I have the free time to do it.

As soon as the April rollup is published, try and install it and then post back here if you're still having issues. If it installs successfully then you can mark the thread as solved. But let us know either way so we know whether it's resolved the issue or not.

Hello,

I've got exactly the same problem as Efdy described with my Windows 7 laptop for KB4088875, KB4088878 and KB4088881.

I can also update other Windows Updates but just not the above 3. It seems to go as far as 13% and then shut down and after restart, it'd go only up to 13% again before declaring "Failure ..." as Efdy has described.

I've tried virtually everything mentioned in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...-update-errors , including "Windows Update Troubleshooter", rename SoftwareDistribution /catroot2 folder. I didn't try installing "Servicing Stack Update" (KB3177467) as my system has got this update already in 2016.

So, the strategy here is wait for the April Rollout ??

If you're going down the Rollup route, then I would advise just skipping the March rollup completely. They've been pulled from Windows update anyway. It's been a bit of a disaster for patches this month tbh.

The next rollup will be pushed out in 4 days time and will include all the March fixes anyway, so I would advise waiting for that. Like Efdy, if you're still having issues, post back in here and let everyone know, so we can look into more fixes - once MS has sorted out this months patching fiasco!

Too bad that April Rollup again didn't work for Efdy and it probably won't work for me.

Let me supply two pieces of information.


1. I saw the following messages in c:\windows\logs\cbs.log :

Googling a bit, people did seem to need to reinstall/repair Windows 7 before this problem can be fixed.

Somebody here :
https://social.technet.microsoft.com...w7itproinstall

said that he solved the problem : " .... I had to take ownership and reset permissions on about 100 different reg subkeys of HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root .... "

I almost wanted to do the other day. But the above message was ~2011 and so I hesitated a bit.

Any comments ??

Is this when I look for that dual boot tutorial that brought me to this website in the first place years ago and start over from a reformatted hard drive?

Oh, I guess I would be looking for the repair install tutorial. Should I think that would help? That computer installs every other update besides the Security Quality Monthly Rollup updates from March and April, and the same thing happened when trying to install the security only whatever instead last month after that rollup thing wouldn't install.

I tried that other stuff on some Microsoft web page that says:
Method 1: Restart Windows and install Windows updates in a clean boot state
Method 2: Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter
Method 3: Unplug your removable media from the computer
Method 4: Perform a system restore
Method 5: Perform an in-place upgrade (reinstallation) (Windows 7 and Windows Vista)

I couldn't try System Restore because this is how I found out I had that System Protection configured improperly (for the wrong drive) all this time and I didn't have restore points, which seems to be corrected since following some instructions in Seven Forums tutorials. I tried installing the April rollup update thing in clean boot state and no removable media connected. It just did the same thing, "Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes."

So, I guess I will continue to do nothing for now and just stay off the Web with that Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit PC and use this Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit PC for the Web for a while. As far as I know, there wasn't anything wrong with this PC except a bunch of errors in that CheckSUR.log that Snick fixed for me. Thanks again. That was amazing and much appreciated.

Hi Efdy,

> Method 5: Perform an in-place upgrade (reinstallation) (Windows 7 and Windows Vista)

Have you really tried this reinstallation step already and it still doesn't work for you ?

The laptop that has this problem is also 64-bit.

Hi Efdy,

Seems you're still having issues. Have you tried uninstalling the January rollup? A lot of these update issues seem to have started in January for some users. You could try uninstalling that one and then see if the latest one will install.

If it still doesn't work then the Repair Install option is always a good option for fixing many problems. It's actually not as painful as you might think. It usually keeps all your personal files, settings, drivers. I've used it before and the only things I had to do after were set up my Windows sounds/theme again and download and reinstall the updates again. Everything else was kept.

It will take a couple of hours, but if it's your only option then it might be worth giving it a go. Make sure all your files are backed up before.

You can only start a Repair Install whilst you're logged in to Windows. Remember that you must pick the Upgrade option and not the Custom option or it will start a new install. Fresh install is always a last resort for me.

Brink's guide above will walk you through all the steps.

Hello. No, I was saying that I tried the rest of that stuff except for System Restore for the reason mentioned. I may try to reinstall Windows, but I don't know if I would be wasting my time because I don't know if the problem is with my system or with Microsoft's updates. It's an unfortunate coincidence in timing at the very least.
