Every time the computer is shut down, it always says installing update do not turn off your computer

Original title: Windowa updates

Every time I shut down the computer ; no mater how often; it always comes up " installing 1 of 1 '

You see, there are many factors that play a role when such error occurs. Sometimes, the computer cannot install these either mandatory or simple updates for several reasons.

1. The updates may require an Internet connection and your laptop might not have been connected at the time meaning it couldn't install updates, so the computer just still tries to install but it can't after several hours; therefore just shutting down. To sort this out, make sure you have a stable Internet connection before you start installing the updates.
2. The computer may have had many programs or one program preventing the computer from shutting down or getting ready to install updates and shutting down after that. To sort this out, make sure all open programs are closed; you can also press CTRL + SHIFT

• ESC to open Task Manager and go in the Processes tab and close any running applications and programs (including Task Manager) before you are finished (for Windows 8 and 8.1) or go into the Applications tab and close any running programs (for Windows 7).

3. You may have a Virus or some other type of malware that is interfering with the computer installing the updates. I would most certainly advise you scan and then remove the Virus/Malware from your computer immediately before any more harm has come to the computer.
4. It could also be the computer having a technical fault, stopping it from installing the update. Or certain system files have been damaged for some reason meaning something strange is happening to the computer. If this is the case, I would strongly recommend you consult a computer and PC specialist to sort out your computer's technical fault.
5. Or it could just simply be a very large update that will take a very long time for it to be installed. And since the computer may have resumed the update, it could just take it a while to get back on track of where it is with the update.

As I said - there are many reasons for this problem occurring so I would recommend you try these different methods and see if they work.

This is so simple. I was also having this problem.

Just right click on "My computer" and the click "Manage" . It will open a window and in that window you will see a text that says "Services" in the left column. Click on that and find out "Windows Update". Double click on that to open the properties option for that service. And there you will see a option that says "Startup type" . From that dorpdown option just select "Disable" and apply the changes and you are done. Check the screenshot here .

Hi,

Thank you for the post.

Which antivirus application are you using?

The issue might be due to settings or other applications conflict.

You can run Windows Update troubleshooter and check the issue status. You can also try the other steps mentioned in the following link to troubleshoot the issue.

"Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer" error when you try to install Windows updates.

Important: System Restore will not revert any of the non-system files like documents, email, music, etc. to a previous state. These types files are completely unaffected by System Restore. If your intention with this tool was to recover a deleted non-system file, try using a file recovery program instead of System Restore.

Note: Please ignore the “in-place upgrade” step.

Hope this helps.

Same thing is happening with me, now. Related to the KB2600217. This is on Windows 7 64.

History shows that the update has nstalled successfully one or more times every day since 3/22/2012 with the exception of one failed attempt on 3/24/2012 (but that failed attempt was bracketed by two successful installs that same day).

As I sit here, the update is again ready to install.

I did try the Windows Update components reset tool.

Well that isn't the case wit my PC, I only have one failure but was successfully installed later, so I have not any update pending, but still have the problem every time I turn off my PC...

Because this annoyed me, I have checked before turn off the machine if I have update pending at that time and what I have noticed is that even having anything to update the machine do the same thing over and over...
