What an error an error occurred while. An error occurred while updating - what to do. Recovery utility for Windows client only

Error downloading updates "An error occurred while updating"on Steam (for Dota 2, Counter strike and other games) is not so rare. Its appearance is directly related to the official updates to Steam. The updates themselves are designed not only to make changes to the interface, but also to optimize a large number of internal processes. These innovations should help players in the gameplay, but not always everything goes smoothly.

An error occured while downloading updates

Causes of error downloading updates

The conflict itself, as a rule, arises from the very client on the user's computer. Its installation may not be entirely correct, which subsequently prevents updates from integrating correctly. Unfortunately, if the files are interrupted halfway through the unpacking of the updates, then it will not be easy to fix the situation.

Dota 2 and Counter strike most frequently updated in the app Steam... It is with them that the error "An error occurred while updating" is most often associated. The problem appears with globally made changes, where hundreds of meters of archives are subject to update. Therefore, minor updates can be installed quite normally without detecting for a long time conflict situations.

What to do with this error?

These solutions should be used first. If you tried everything and nothing helped, then go to the official developer recommendations.

Resuming Steam from saves

Steam is most prone to all sorts of errors. Therefore, Valve always invites its users to make backups all utility files. If you are one of those lucky ones who have a spare copy, then feel free to try the next option.

If an error occurred while updating on your PC, then you should apply all the above methods one by one. There is also a request to unsubscribe in the comments about the results.

A post for the case when your Roblox also gave an error "an error occurred while starting" and does not want to start. This occasion does not happen very often, but, as practice shows (and the statistics of queries in search engines), sooner or later many users have to deal with it.

On the other hand, the problem cannot be called very complicated either, and in the overwhelming majority of cases it can be completely eliminated standard ways... We will tell you about them now. So,..

what to do if Roblox shows the error "an error occurred while starting"

So, in order, from simple to complex (in terms of the amount of work):

# 1 - restart the router

The technique is simple, but in this case, very effective. Since Roblox automatically connects to the Internet at startup, any network failure at this moment can really prevent the application from starting normally. Therefore, if we see an error starting Roblox, then we go to and press the button on it " Reset ". Or, if one is not found, just turn off the device from the outlet, wait 1 minute , then turn it on, go back to the game and try to log in again.

# 2 - disable the function "Use a proxy server for local connections"

For this:

• on the keyboard press " Win + R ", in line " Execute»We write inetcpl.cpl and click Enter ;
• in the window that opens, uncheck the checkbox “ Use a proxy server for local connections«;
• and click OK at the bottom of the window.

# 3 - temporarily disable antivirus

As we said, the Roblox app requires an internet connection during the launch phase. for some of his "convictions" can prevent this. Thus, in order to eliminate this conflict, the easiest way is to disable the antivirus for a while. Most modern antivirus software you can get to the "switch" through the tray icon (lower right corner of the screen).

In other words, we find the icon, click on it right click mouse and in the menu that appears, click the line with a name like " Suspend protection" or " Exit". If there is nothing similar in the menu, then double-click on the same icon in the tray to open the main antivirus settings window and find the desired button there.

# 4 - add Roblox to the Windows Defender whitelist

The reason for the error " error occurred while starting"Can also be regular ... In this case, you can solve the problem by adding the Roblox application to the list of allowed Defender programs. This is done like this:

• if you are not logged in through account administrator, you need to re-enter;
• go to " Settings "Windows, click" Update and security ", later - " Windows Security "(Left) and the button" Open Defender Security Center " (on right);

• then click " Firewall and network security "And in the next window - the link" Allow applications through firewall «;
• press the button " Change parameters ", We indicate Roblox and click " Add to «;
• after the app is added to Defender, set permissions for him and click OK .

# 5 - reinstall Roblox

This measure, of course, is advisable if the previous four did not have the desired effect, and the application persistently does not want to start. Therefore, further:

• press from the keyboard Win + R, in line " Execute»We write appwiz.cpl ;
• in the list of programs we find and select Roblox and then click the button " Delete «;
• we confirm the command, wait for the completion of the removal procedure and reboot the computer;
• after we go to the game page in the Microsoft Store and download Roblox again;
• find setup file, click on it with the right mouse button and select “ Properties «;
• in the window " Properties"Open the tab" Compatibility ", Activate the option" Run the program in compatibility mode ", Select the OS version in the menu and press the button" Apply "At the bottom of the window.

Good afternoon, dear readers, today I want to tell you how the error is solved an error occurred while attempting at booting Windows. This instruction suitable for both client operating systems like Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, and for Windows Server... It will take you no more than 10 minutes to fix this problem, even in the case of a server it is not so long downtime.

What does error occurred while attempting to read mean?

And so I'll tell you what I had. We have a blade basket with hs22 blades, they do not have their own disks and they are loaded via fc from netApp storage systems, after an accident on one of the blades when windows server 2008 r2 was booting, this error popped up

File: \\ EFI \\ Microsoft \\ Boot \\ BCD

status: 0xc000000f

The error shows that operating system cannot boot due to bootloader in EFI \\ Microsoft \\ Boot \\ BCD.

Causes of Error 0xc000000f

• Windows bootloader is damaged
• Accidentally deleted boot area

UEFI GPT Bootable Hard Drive Partition Table

You must have at least three sections.

• EFI system partition (ESP - EFI System Partition) - 100 MB (partition type - EFI)
• Reserve partition Microsoft - 128 MB (partition type - MSR)
• Windows main partition - Windows partition

Or else there is an additional section.

• Windows RE

Let's talk now about each of them in more detail.

Windows RE

Windows RE is a 300MB partition on a GPT partition, and its purpose is to contain boot loader recovery data. The same is also found in systems with MBR markup, 350 MB in size, it is also called System Reserved and, along with RE, contains the files necessary to boot Windows.

The recovery environment is in the file winre.wim

Windows RE is created in process windows installations.

1. During the creation of the partition structure for Windows RE, the special attribute 0x8000000000000001 is assigned. It is a combination of two attributes - one that blocks the automatic assignment of a drive letter, and the other marks the partition as required for the system to work, which prevents it from being removed from the Disk Management snap-in.
2. A system image is applied to the Windows partition - standard install.wim or customized custom.wim. As a result, winre.wim ends up in the Windows \\ System32 \\ Recovery folder.
3. The Recovery \\ WindowsRE folder is created on the Windows RE partition, after which this location of the recovery environment is registered by the utility reagentc.

W: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ reagentc.exe / setreimage / path T: \\ Recovery \\ WindowsRE / target W: \\ Windows

reagentc.exe is included in Windows and it is launched from the operating system partition. Along with registering RE, the command moves winre.wim from the Windows partition to the Windows RE service partition. If you want to see the file, first assign a drive letter using the diskpart utility. Since the file has system and hidden attributes, the dir / ah command will show it the fastest.

As a result of these steps, the boot into the recovery environment occurs from the Windows RE partition. I will show the details of the process in the upcoming recovery story. backup.

Windows section RE is optional for windows work... The recovery environment may be missing or located directly on the partition with the operating system. However, hosting Windows RE on a separate partition serves two purposes:

1. Boot into recovery environment on PC with encrypted Windows partition... It is impossible to boot into the recovery environment if it is on a Windows partition that is encrypted. Windows RE section is excluded from encryption, so you can always get into the environment and use its tools.
2. Protecting your recovery environment from naughty hands... Since a partition cannot be deleted in the Disk Management snap-in, the likelihood of its death due to carelessness is slightly lower, although it can be easily removed using diskpart if desired.

System section (EFI)

Section EFIformatted in FAT32 is required for GPT partitioning on UEFI systems. Standard size EFI partition is 100MB, but on 4K Native extended format drives (4KB sectors) it is increased to 260MB due to FAT32 limitations. PC manufacturers may store some of their tools on this section, so its size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

In GPT markup, the EFI partition performs one of the roles assigned to the System Reserved partition in the MBR markup. It contains the Boot Configuration Repository (BCD) and the files required to boot the operating system.

MSR (Microsoft System Reserved) section

This section is also required for GPT markup. It is formatted in NTFS and occupies 128MB in Windows 8 and 8.1, and 16MB in Windows 10. GPT does not allow using hidden disk sectors (unlike MBR), so mSR section required for firmware and third-party software service operations (for example, converting a simple disk to a dynamic one).

Despite the presence of “System Reserved” in the name, the MSR partition has nothing to do with the System Reserved partition in the MBR markup. Moreover, it is not visible in file managers and the Disk Management snap-in though diskpart shows it.

Windows section

This is the operating system partition to which the standard install.wim image or customized image is applied.

Eliminating error occurred while attempting to read

As you remember, we caught such a thing

An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data

File: \\ EFI \\ Microsoft \\ Boot \\ BCD

status: 0xc000000f

Now let's deal with both graphical methods and methods command line.

Recovery utility for Windows client only

Here we will use Windows restore points, they are included by default in client Windows 7, 8.1, 10, and this is logical in order to quickly recover from some kind of system glitches. Here we need a bootable USB flash drive with the same version of Windows, if for example you have WIndows 8.1 64x then the flash drive must also have a 64 bit version.

For Windows 7, it looks like this

After starting to download the Windows 7 distribution from a bootable USB flash drive, you will see an installation window, in the bottom corner, click System Restore.

You will have options, the very first option is to select Startup Repair

An attempt will be made to restore the Windows 7 boot regions

Click Fix and Restart.

If after rebooting, you still have an error, then go back to this menu and select then the second item, Recovery windows systems 7. The utility will find the installed operating room and try to roll it back to the moment when it worked correctly, your personal data will not be affected, at most you can miss the programs.

For Windows 8.1 and 10, it looks like this

The an error occurred while attempting error at boot is solved in the same way, you create a bootable USB flash drive with Windows 8.1, as in the link above. Boot from it and you find yourself in the recovery environment. Also on the installation window, click System Restore.

Troubleshooting\u003e Option 1 Return the computer to the initial state, with saving files and the second option Advanced options\u003e System Restore or System Image Restore.

After a reboot, you should be fine, this is an advantage of desktop platforms, from server Windows Server, since in server versions, everything is disabled by default and the administrator needs to enable everything himself, and disabled because of resource savings, but from my point of view could make an exception for restore points.

Recovery for everyone through the command line

This method is more complicated, especially for those who see the command line of the operating system for the first time. This method is suitable for both 7,8.1,10 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2. AT this method you also need bootable USB drive with the desired distribution kit for your OS. I will show using the example of Windows Server 2008 r2, but all the steps as I wrote are suitable for any OS, starting with W7.

Another digression is that if your operating system, like mine, is covered on the blade server, then do the first point, if you have a regular PC, then just skip it.

1 Part for blade servers only

• Since I have a blade system, in order to load the distribution kit there for repair, I will need to poke ISO imagemakes it easy. Go to Blade Center, select Remote control and select the required blade via java KVM. At the top, click Remote Drive\u003e Select Image

We indicate the path to our ISO

Select the desired blade to mount from above and put the Write Protect checkbox on, then Mount All.

All we see is ISO mounted, close this window.

Now in the Boot menu, select boot from DVD Rom. This will start downloading from your ISO inserted into the Virtual CD-rom.

Part 2 for everyone

You will see a standard download bar.

You will see a language selection window

If your distribution kit is English, then to open the command line, press Shift + F10, if Russian, then select the US international keyboard layout, since further commands will be entered on this layout, click on

We chose the layout on the next window, click the usual recovery menu.

In the server OS, as I told you, you will not see checkpoints. We select the second item and further.

And here she is the long-awaited command line

In Windows 8.1, 10 and Server 2012 R2, you can get to the command line in the same way, but the menu has been slightly modified. You also go to recovery, then diagnostics.

And here we will now look at several methods.

1 method to eliminate an error occurred while attempting

In the first method, we will run two commands to restore the boot area. We are using the Bootrec command. Enter it on the command line, you will be shown a list of attributes.

• / FixMbr\u003e will restore the MBR write, with UEFI it won't work
• / FixBoot\u003e makes a new entry in system partition
• / ScanOs\u003e search all Windows on drives
• \u003e rebuildBcd\u003e scan all os and add from to boot menu

Run Bootrec.exe / FixMbr, then Bootrec.exe / FixBoot

Both commands worked properly, a new one was written to the first sector of the boot partition boot recordand the second command writes a new boot sector... We write Exit and reboot.

Method 2 to eliminate an error occurred while attempting

If the first method did not help you, do not rush to get upset, just load into the command line and enter the following commands.

Bootrec / ScanOs, it will scan all your hard drives and partitions for operating systems, and if any are found, a corresponding warning will be issued. Then you need to enter the command Bootrec.exe / RebuildBcd, this utility will offer to add the found Windows to the boot menu, agree and enter Y and press Enter, all found Windows are added to the boot menu

in addition, you can immediately register bootsect / NT60 SYS , but if you have UEFI, you will get an error.

If everything is ok, then get an updated bootcode area,

We reload and enjoy life. Below are the ways for UEFI.

3 method to eliminate an error occurred while attempting for UEFI

We also boot into command line mode and enter

list disk\u003e

Let's select the drive on which Windows 8 is installed (if there is only one hard drive in the system, its index will be zero):

Let's list the partitions in the system:

In our example, you can see that the EFI partition (it can be identified by the size of 100 MB and file system FAT32) has index volume 1, and the boot partition with installed Windows 8.1 - volume 3.

Let's assign an arbitrary drive letter to the hidden EFI partition:

select volume 1
assign letter M:
Finishing work with diskpart:
exit
Let's go to the directory with the bootloader on the hidden section
cd / d m: \\ efi \\ microsoft \\ boot \\
Let's re-create the boot sector: on the boot partition
bootrec / fixboot
Let's delete the current file with configuration BCDby renaming it (keeping the old configuration as a backup):
ren BCD BCD.bak
Using the utility bcdboot.exe re-create the BCD repository by copying the boot environment files from the system directory:
bcdboot C: \\ Windows / l en-us / s M: / f ALL

where, C: \\ Windows - path to the directory with installed Windows 8.1.
/ f ALL - means that you need to copy the files of the boot environment, including files for computers with UEFI or BIOS (theoretical ability to boot on EFI and BIOS systems)
/ l en-us - the type of the system locale. The default is en-us - English (USA).

In the case of using Russian windows versions 8.1 the command will be different:
bcdboot C: \\ Windows / L ru-ru / S M: / F ALL

This is what the structure actually looks like

4 method to eliminate an error occurred while attempting for UEFI

We also boot into command line mode and enter

list disk\u003e we look at the list of partitions in the system

i have an operating system on a 100 gig disk with the letter C.

With the command list disk we will see the list of disks

I am interested in Disk 0, since the system is on it. Let's choose it.

List partition\u003e List partitions

Select partition 1\u003e Select the one you need with the bootloader (If there is a system one, then it is, if it is not, then Registered) Anyway, delete both of them

We kill the first and second section (System and registered)

Delete partition override

Re-enter List partition and make sure both are deleted. We can now manually re-create the EFI and MSR partitions. To do this, in the context of the diskpart utility, run the commands sequentially

Let's copy the files of the EFI environment from the directory of the installed Windows 2008 R2, you may have another one:

mkdir G: \\ EFI \\ Microsoft \\ Boot

xcopy / s C: \\ Windows \\ Boot \\ EFI \\ *. * G: \\ EFI \\ Microsoft \\ Boot

We go to the next step for solving the error occurred while attempting

Let's re-create the configuration windows bootloader Server 2008 R2:

g:
cd EFI \\ Microsoft \\ Boot
bcdedit / createstore BCD
bcdedit / store BCD / create (bootmgr) / d “ Windows Boot Manager "
bcdedit / store BCD / create / d “Windows Server 2008 r2” / application osloader

The command returns the GUID of the created record, in the next command this GUID must be substituted for (your_guid)

bcdedit / store BCD / set (bootmgr) default (your_guid)
bcdedit / store BCD / set (bootmgr) path \\ EFI \\ Microsoft \\ Boot \\ bootmgfw.efi
bcdedit / store BCD / set (bootmgr) displayorder (default)

Further commands are executed in the context (default)

bcdedit / store BCD / set (default) device partition \u003d c:
bcdedit / store BCD / set (default) osdevice partition \u003d c:
bcdedit / store BCD / set (default) path \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ winload.efi
bcdedit / store BCD / set (default) systemroot \\ Windows
exit

We all reboot and try to start your computer or server. More options.

1. Turn off PC power
2. Disconnecting (physically) the hard drive
3. Turn on the PC, wait for the boot error window to appear and turn it off again.
4. Connect the disk back

5 method to eliminate an error occurred while attempting

There is also a method for solving the error occurred while attempting and 0xc000000f, and this is Acronis Disk Director software. There is such boot disk Acronis Disk Director for repair, there is a laptop with two wasps, the first is Windows7, and the second is Windows 8.1, and both do not boot, we boot from our Acronis Disk Director

All I hope you now have the an error occurred while attempting error while loading Windows and you have booted. the mistake is that on both of us hard drives the first hidden System Reserved partitions must be marked with a red flag. On Windows 7 the volume of such a partition is 100 MB, and on Windows 8 350 MB, these are the partitions that carry the attributes: System. Active and it is on these partitions that the boot store configuration (BCD) files and the system boot manager file (bootmgr file) reside. And we get these attributes are other sections. Because of this, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 won't boot.

Choosing the first hDD 1, click on the first section System Reserved with the right mouse and select "Mark as active"

The System Reserved Volume will be marked as active. Click OK.

We do the same with Disk 2. The Acronis Disk Director program works in a pending operation mode, so that the changes take effect, press the "Apply pending operations" button

Proceed. As you can see, after our changes, those sections that are needed became active.

I hope you managed to fix the errors an error occurred while attempting and 0xc000000f

Download Roblox

Sometimes apps and games can crash. One of the common mistakes in Roblox is "an error occurred while starting roblox". Occurs when the user has started the game, but a system error... It can be solved using several methods.

How to fix the situation?

The first waywhich helped a lot of players to uninstall and reinstall the game. To get rid of all software components, the user must go to "Remove or change programs" and find Roblox among the list. After that, go through all the folders where the game can be located. Complete removal ensures that you can reinstall again correctly and without various problems.

Second way: Disable antivirus. As in the first, you will have to reinstall the game. Sometimes programs to protect your computer from various malicious files can react to the most innocuous objects. If Roblox has been installed, then it can be added to secure applications and opened using Administrator rights. In some cases, the problem is updating the game.

Third method: disable proxy server. Not everyone has this problem, but it can affect launch ability. Solved using the example of Windows: go to the network settings in the bottom panel and go to the "Network Control Center and general access". In the window that opens, find the "Browser Properties" item and go to the "Connection" tab. In the "Network Settings" section, uncheck the "Use a proxy server" item. If the mark has not been set, then press it twice and restart the device.
