I ran the lastest Windows updates on my PC and when it rebooted it was stuck on the "Configuring Windows do Not Shut Down" screen for hours. Finally, I shut down and the PC would not start up. I tried to do a system restore to before the Windows update, and got errors. However, the PC did start up (and actually said the restore worked), but not everything is functioning correctly on the PC (there is no HDMI sound for example and Google Chrome Updater will not connect to the internet).

I tried to do another system restore from within Windows and got the error message in the attached screen shot.

Does anyone know how to get system restore to start working again?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I was able to get get Windows Restore to run, but things are still not running correctly. One example is the Google Chrome updater can't connect. Then, when I try to manually download Chrome and install it I get a message that says it will not install as Windows updates are needed (but when I try to install the Windows updates my PC gets stuck on the reboot (as detailed above).

Internet Exploerer will also not start. The problem details in the error message are:

i seemed to have solved this issue. I uninstalled Avast, made windows updates automatic and ran though the updates... they ran successfully. I then reinstalled Avast and all seems OK.
