Quite often now, users complain that after updating Windows 7 does not start. And then you have to think what to do. Others claim that after the update they began to experience various system crashes, as well as problems when working with programs. So no surprises this process prepared a lot for us. And so we will try to figure out what to do if, after updating Windows 7, the system or some individual applications do not start. Here you will have to try hard to correct the situation as soon as possible.

What's the matter?

The first thing we have to find out is the reason for this behavior of the computer. As a rule, she is the one who will help you figure out what's what. Let's try to see what caused the problems on the computer.

Nowadays, many people use pirated versions of operating systems. Of course, for real OS creators, this behavior greatly impacts their pockets and copyrights. And everyone is trying to come up with good protection against “computer pirates”. And so Windows did it. How? I just introduced a special update that will verify the authenticity of your operating system. True, not everything is as good as it might seem at first glance.

The point is that after Windows updates 7 does not start in most cases. When you use pirated version, then this is completely justified. But if you bought a license and then encountered all sorts of unpleasant consequences, then this is not so good. Probably, during the “update”, conflicts of some files occur, which entail negative consequences in 99% of cases. And therefore it is important to know how to behave in this situation. Let's try to figure out what's what.

Purchasing a license

As a rule, if Windows 7 does not start after updating, then most likely you are using a pirated version of the program. In this case, we can advise you only one way that will help solve the problem - purchasing a license and then installing it.

Now you can buy Windows at any computer store. True, you will have to pay from 2500 rubles. In principle, if you consider that you will have a license, this is not such a large amount. However, the prospect of buying something that can be downloaded from the Internet is not particularly pleasing to users. Especially if you want to “just see” what the next version of the operating system is in front of you.

In addition, as already mentioned, the license may also be affected after downloading updates. That is, you cannot be 100% sure that purchasing licensed content will save you from problems. And then it’s worth moving on to the second method. To be honest, it works more efficiently than this one.

Reinstallation

The second scenario is to reinstall the operating system on the computer. If Windows 7 does not start after updating, and you don’t have any important data yet, then you can safely complete removal OS with subsequent installation.

Usually, this method attracts users to a greater extent. Especially those who use pirated software. Such people are constantly worried about the safety of data and write it to removable media. They have nothing to fear from failures and malfunctions.

How to reinstall? Insert the disk with the operating system into the drive, then select "Clean Install". Highlight system partition disk and click on "Format". After that, select it again, and then click “Next”. Agree now to carry out the process. You can wait until the system is installed. During the process, the computer will reboot itself about 2-3 times, so don’t panic. But these are not all the options that can help you if the system does not start after updating Windows 7. What else can you do? Let's try to figure this out.

For repairs

The most common option among beginners when errors and malfunctions occur is to visit special technical services who are involved in diagnosing computer problems and fixing them.

All you have to do is bring your computer to such a service and then explain the situation. Say that Windows 7 won't start after installing updates, and then demonstrate it. In cases where you have a licensed version of the operating system, there will be fewer problems - they will immediately agree to help you. Otherwise, you may face refusal to provide services. After all, now they are trying not to work with “pirates”. Especially official companies.

For repairs after updates, you may be asked from 1000 to 2000 rubles. This is not such a large amount, considering the scale of the problem. True, you can always cope with the task assigned to us on your own. So let's try to understand what else can be done if Windows 7 or some programs do not start after installing updates.

Refusal of "updates"

And here is another very good one, and most importantly, effective way, which will help, in principle, to avoid our current situation. Since problems appear after updating Windows 7 (programs do not start, system crashes are observed, and so on), you can simply abandon this process. To be honest, now many “pirates” do this in advance. Even when installing the operating system, at the very end, you can select “Do not download updates” and then enjoy life.

If you did not do this, then you always have the opportunity to correct the situation. To do this, just find “Windows Update” and then go to the settings there. Now select "Never update" and save your changes. That's all the problems are solved. Now you don't have to worry about having problems. You can always check the “updates” yourself and then choose the ones you really need. Typically these are just hardware drivers. They pose no danger.

But there are also a few more quite interesting and simple solutions, which will help us solve problems after updating Windows 7. Which ones? Now we will try to figure this out.

Removing a threat

Well, for example, you can try to figure it out in another way. If you have already installed the update and are having problems with your computer, then you can try to remove it. How to do it? It's not that difficult. Let's figure out what's what.

If, after updating Windows 7, applications do not start or system crashes appear, then you will have to look for the root of the problem. You will have to get rid of the "KB971033" file. Go to "Windows Update", then open "Journal". Now click on " Installed updates". You will see a long list of everything that was just installed on the system. There, look for “KB971033”. Next, right-click on this line. A small menu will pop up that will give you several actions with the file. Select “Delete” there .After the process is completed, simply restart your computer. That's it.

With applications

Do you get an error in some programs after updates? Then this situation can be solved in several ways. The first scenario is a complete removal of the installed content followed by reinstallation. Quite often, this approach helps solve most problems and other “surprises”.

The second method (it sometimes helps when Windows 7 does not start after installing updates) is to perform a system rollback. Go to “Start” - “Accessories” - “System Tools”. There you will find "System Restore". Click on this line, and then select the “rollback point”. This should be a period of time when no problems have yet been observed, preferably before you updated the system. Now click “Next”, agree that the process is irreversible and wait a while. When the rollback is complete, you can enjoy the restored system.

Conclusion

So, today we learned what to do if Windows 7 does not start after updating. As you can see, there are many options for the development of events. In truth, most users rely exclusively on reinstalling the operating system.

In second place is contacting specialized computer help services, as well as rolling back Windows. In any case, you can always correct the situation yourself and also prevent it from happening again.

Today we will talk about a problem that is familiar to absolutely all users who use latest versions operating system from Microsoft. What to do if after latest update Windows 10 won't start for you or the system takes too long to start?

OS takes too long to load

This problem can occur if too many additional applications are launched along with the operating system. Here's what you need to do in this case:

1. We will need an electronic medium on which the installation files of our operating system are downloaded
2. Using it we boot the device in safe mode. This way, only the most necessary system modules and drivers for the computer will be loaded, which is exactly what we need
3. Open "Task Manager", and then - "Startup"
4. We see a list of applications that open simultaneously with the startup of the operating system. We need to leave only the necessary minimum and disable the rest.
5. Disable via context menu

These simple steps will help us reduce the OS load several times.

It is also necessary to remember that problems with the computer can slow down the startup of the OS. malware, so you should definitely check your device for their presence. For this you may need - read how to do it with us.

System rollback

If Windows 10 does not boot after updating, you can try. Please note that this method is only suitable if your OS creates restore points before updating.

What we do:

• Click “Reset” and reboot the device
• After the BIOS loads, press F8 and go to the recovery menu
• In the window that opens, find “Diagnostics”
• We move to “Advanced parameters”, where you need to use the link “”
• In the first rollback window, select “Next”
• Finding the restore point we need
• “Next”, and we agree to perform the actions
• The device reboots, and at this time the current version of the operating system is removed

Black screen

If, after updating Windows 10, your laptop or computer does not turn on, and the monitor shows a black screen and mouse cursor, you can assume that this happened for one of two reasons:

Reason 1: Malware

If your computer does not boot after updating Windows 10, it probably “caught” a virus that replaced the standard interface startup. What we do in this case:

Reason 2. Problems with the video system

If, after completing the steps in the “Value” line, nothing has changed, and the laptop or computer still does not boot, then most likely the problem with starting the system is that an additional monitor is connected to the computer, and it seems that after updating the Windows 10 OS does not work at all. To troubleshoot, we need to duplicate the image from the secondary display to the main one. Here's what to do in this case:

• We log in “blindly”
• Removing the lock screen by pressing “Backspace”
• If a password is set, enter it and confirm with “Enter”
• When performing the previous step, do not forget to set the keyboard layout required for entering the password
• We wait about 10 seconds (approximate OS startup time)
• Press Win+r
• Press the right arrow on your keyboard once
• Confirm “Enter” again

Good health to all, my dear readers, blog guests, as well as beginners system administrators and programmers.

Black screen

A very common and common occurrence is when, after rebooting and installing updates, you only see a black screen. No inscriptions, no drawings, sometimes even without a cursor. This happens because new files related to the operating system itself have been added to the system. Either the data package was installed incorrectly or downloaded.

This can be found especially often when, when installing the system, the user simply turns off the power or reboots the computer independently.

A black screen indicates that the system interrupts its loading at the stage of entering the graphical shell. This can be treated by rolling back the system to the last successful working state.

Blue screen

Blue screen is a more serious problem, especially with white lettering. This means that the system is “crashing”. That is, her system files fail, causing the shell itself to completely fail.

The blue screen with error c0000145 is especially dangerous. In this case, I recommend completely reinstalling Windows, otherwise there is a high risk that one day you will simply lose all your files.

Also, it’s worth checking your hard drive, it happens that when it produces errors, the OS begins to turn blue.

In such situations, I recommend taking the hard drive to a workshop for professional diagnostics. This is not the case when you see a black screen with a cursor, this is already a serious problem that needs to be addressed immediately. Rolling back updates and restoring the OS from an earlier one will not help here. It is necessary to completely demolish the shell and install a new one. Just don't forget to transfer the files.

Computer keeps rebooting

A common problem. Is it associated with broken files of the update packages themselves, or occurs in cases where the service pack was downloaded from an unconfirmed source. Sometimes crooked programmers independently disassemble the update, throw out everything that, in their opinion, is unnecessary, then archive it and distribute it on torrents.

After installing it on a laptop, a problem appears: the machine constantly reboots. In such cases, you need to restore the operating system from an earlier state via control point. This can be done through safe mode or using bootable flash drive(or disk). Also, this can happen when you download any software for the Android system. Therefore, I recommend downloading such software directly to your smartphone.

How to remove an update?

Let's imagine that you installed a service pack, but it gives an error. In this case, the update must be removed. This is done as follows. From here download Windows seventh.

A from here Ultra ISO program. Install the software and insert a clean flash drive into the USB port. Open the software.

Press the button open.

The program interface should display all the files that are on the image with the operating system.

Now, in the window that opens, in the first line, select our flash drive. In the second, we set the recording method to be the same as in the picture. Click record.

In the sign that appears, click “ Yes" and wait for the end of the recording.

Now we need to boot from our flash drive. Not in safe mode, but from a flash drive. We see this screen and click this line.

Many users experience some malfunctions and malfunctions in their computer device after updating Windows 10. The main ones are the following:

1. Windows 10 does not boot for a long time.
2. The system does not want to start and work.
3. Black screen.
4. A blue screen with errors appears.

To eliminate them, it is necessary to understand the sources of operational failures and possible ways getting rid of these sources.

If the system does not start after the latest Windows 10 update, remember how it behaved before shutting down or rebooting. Perhaps some program was loaded, or an error appeared after connecting a new device and a virus software. In the course of troubleshooting such problems, the system may improve or deteriorate its performance. Therefore, it is necessary to be prepared to restore it and return it to its original, working condition.

The system does not start or takes a very long time to load

The system takes a long time to boot or does not boot at all - this problem occurs at startup large quantity additional programs or malicious software connecting to the process. Therefore, you immediately need to check your computer for viruses and prepare electronic media with installation Windows files 10.

To solve the problem, take the following steps:

1. Using the media, we boot the device in safe mode. In the menu, select the source from which the system modules and drivers needed for your computer will be loaded.
2. Open Task Manager. This can be done using the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys. Find the Startup tab.
3. Startup contains the entire list of applications that can be loaded when the system starts. It is necessary to select among them the minimum that is needed for normal operation computer, turn off the rest.

These simple steps will help reduce system boot time and improve system startup.

Working with safe mode is useful when removing viruses, unnecessary programs, fixing driver errors, activating an administrator account.

In addition, you can optimize and defragment the disk:

1. Click on Start.
2. Select the Computer tab, drive C.
3. In the window that opens, find the Properties item and click the Optimize button.

Using the CCleaner program, you can remove all junk files from the disk and erroneous keys from the registry.

If Windows 10 does not work after updating, restore the system to an earlier working state. This method is only suitable if the computer creates system rollback points or restore points. To do this, you need to carry out the following procedure:

1. Reboot your system. Once it turns on, press F8.
2. The recovery menu appears.
3. Go to Diagnostics, then Advanced Settings.
4. Find the Recovery tab.
5. Following the instructions, select a Restore point to a rollback state from the available list.
6. Restart your computer. Current version the operating system is removed.

Blue screen appears

CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. The error code is accompanied by the warning “The computer is not started correctly” or “ Windows system loaded incorrectly."

In such cases, a regular reboot helps.

INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. The error may appear after updating to Windows 10 or BIOS motherboard, when restarting the computer after a system rollback, partitioning of the hard drive, if files are damaged.

The easiest way to resolve this error is:

1. In the window Automatic recovery select More options.
2. Among the list of parameters, you need to find Boot options - Restart.
3. After the system restarts, press the F6 button to reboot into Safe Mode using the Command Prompt.
4. Enter the command phrases one by one:
   • sfc /scannow;
   • dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth;
   • shutdown-r.

System files will be scanned and restored if they were damaged.

Black screen appears

There are malfunctions in which the computer device does not turn on, and the screen is black after the update. This problem occurs when video card drivers are installed incorrectly, exiting sleep mode, removing a virus, or downloading updates.

The screen can have 2 types:

1. With a mouse cursor.
2. No cursor, solid black display.

In the first case, the screen can have not only a mouse cursor, but also a rotating wheel. What does this mean and what to do in such cases?

Software glitch

This happens when the system booted only for the first time before Windows 10, when you turned off and then turned on again or rebooted the computer. A software glitch occurs as a result of an update.

To restore the system, you need to update it again.

System conflict with primary drivers

Previously installed drivers may create a conflict with the system, so to resolve this issue, do the following:

1. Find Start - Control Panel. Under Power Options, click System Settings.
2. Under Shutdown Options, uncheck the Enable fast startup (recommended) box.
3. Save your settings.
4. Click on Start. Find the Computer tab.
5. Right-click Properties and do the following: Hardware - Device Manager - Video Adapters.
6. Find your video card and Update drivers. Drivers are installed either in automatic mode from the Internet, or from special software.

In the second case, when the screen is only black without a cursor, start the system in safe mode:

1. Hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and continuously click on the F8 button to open Safe Mode. This system launch is simple, but does not always work.
2. In the window that opens, find the following sections: Diagnostics - Additional parameters - Command line.
3. Type bcdedit /set (globalsettings) advancedoptions true.
4. Click the Enter button.
5. In the newly opened window, click Continue. The download continues.
6. In the new window, select Enable Safe Mode.
7. Press Enter.

Correcting virus activity

If the computer does not boot, the screen is solid and black, then most likely the system has been damaged by malicious virus software. Try the simplest method.

Boot Windows 10 in safe mode, scan with an antivirus application and delete infected files.

If viruses have damaged the explorer.exe file, which is responsible for the operation of the graphical interface, you can perform the following operation:

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del keys simultaneously or open the Start menu.
2. Go to Task Manager, then Run new task.
3. Write explorer.exe in the line and run the task.
