Access denied on second command....

Let's try reverting the pending updates (if possible) from the recovery environment.

• Press F8 while your computer is booting to display the Advanced Boot Options menu. Use the arrow keys to highlight Repair Your Computer, and press Enter.
  
• Select a keyboard input method and click Next. A logon dialog box appears, as you can see in the following figure:
  
• Select the name of an administrator account—enter its password (if any), and click OK.
  
• At the System Recovery Options menu, choose Command Prompt
  
• At the command prompt window, type the following commands, press enter after each:
  
  bcdedit | find "osdevice"
  
  Note the drive letter that is returned. Use that letter below instead of C: if different.
  
  DISM /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
  
  
• When this completes, close the command console window and then click Restart at the advanced recovery options window.

[zcomputerwiz]

Hold shift and press '\', usually above the enter/return key.

Not yet. Let's try this:

Clear Transactional Logfiles
Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good, especially if the computer is not experiencing these exact issues. Do not attempt this fix unless instructed to do so. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

1. Click on the Start
   
   button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it one at a time and press enter after eachone. Type Y and press enter if you are asked "Are you sure?" to any line. Ignore any failure messages, they are perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

fsutil resource setautoreset true %SystemDrive%\

attrib -r -s -h %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\TxR\*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\TxR\*

attrib -r -s -h %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.tm*
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.blf
del %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine\*.regtrans-ms

 

[bungalowbill74]

first command completed successfully,all the rest were used by another process,well most

 

[zcomputerwiz]

Try it from safe mode.

Restart your computer, tap F8 on startup, choose safe mode with networking from the list of options.

Once in safe mode, run command prompt and try the commands again.

Let me know if that works :)

 

[bungalowbill74]

could not find on some commands.first one was successfull again,and some gave no reply back,so i assume they were the successfull ones also.

 

[zcomputerwiz]

Good :) See if SFC can be persuaded to run.

 

[bungalowbill74]
