    Hello

    Sorry for bothering you again and again, but my PC is a little bit stubborn, it is failing again... I thought that the command which you gave me to type in Command Prompt (chkdsk /f /r) was the most drastic measure, but I'm not sure... All I know is that this PC is driving me crazy. Maybe this will be only solvable through a total restore of the laptop, but I have done it already (my computer is an ASUS, therefore I sent it to ASUS Iberia in order to be restored)... Probably this restore is the cause of all this. I really thank you for all the tips and suggestions you gave me, at least I've tried to solve the issue. The only thing I want to know now is if my computer is securelly useable without these updates.

    Regards, Tiago

    I am still having this issue, and I am trying to follow your suggestion (and the links you provided).

    I stopped wuauserv

    I tried to stop appidsvc, but got a message that "the Identity service is not started"

    I stopped cryptsvc

    Then I tried to delete "qmgr*.dat", but received two messges that the qmgr0.dat and qmr1.dat files "could not be accessed because it is being used by another process".

    What now?

    Hi,

    Are you connected to a domain network?

    I suggest you to perform clean boot and check, using this Microsoft Article because may be a third party application is causing this issue.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135

    NOTE: A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows. You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot. You must log on to the computer as an administrator to be able to perform a clean boot. Your computer may temporarily lose some functionality when you perform a clean boot. When you start the computer normally, the functionality returns. However, you may receive the original error message, or experience the original behavior if the problem still exists. If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps.

    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once you perform clean boot do refer to the section “How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting” to boot the computer in normal mode.

    Hope this information helps. Please let us know if you need any other assistance with Windows in future. We will be happy to assist you.
