My Windows 7 computer is stuck at the preparing to configure Windows screen. How can I exit this screen?
If the problem persists after having your PC restarted using the Reset (desktop only) or Power button, then you can try starting it in Safe Mode by holding F8 while booting up (before the Windows logo appears) and then making your selection accordingly. Then restart normally and see what happens.If the problem still persists, you can try doing system recovery:hold F8 while booting up (before the Windows logo appears);On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press Enter. (If Repair your computer isn't listed as an option, then your computer doesn't include preinstalled recovery options, or your network administrator has turned them off.);Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next;On the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it.
Should I turn off my computer if it's stuck on the loading screen "getting Windows ready don't turn off your computer"?
The old adage “if it’s not working, restart the computer” apparently applies to Windows even when it tells you specifically NOT to turn it off.I got this screen when just trying to reboot my computer (windows 10) and even though the disk light was blinking as though it was up to something, I eventually powered down the machine. It booted back up without issue as though nothing had gone wrong… As others have stated, Windows is pretty resilient these days.In a worst-case scenario if you take this action while it’s actually installing an update, you could run into trouble. Most likely, all you’ll have to do is roll back the update. The chances of causing catastrophic damage are pretty slim.As others have also stated: if it’s really stuck then you don’t have much of a choice. Unless you have a really slow, old computer, it’s hard to imagine being legitimately stuck on this screen for more than about 40 minutes. I couldn’t even wait 15.

My computer is stuck on the screen "Updating your system (10%)". Is there a way to fix it?
Looks like you already have a few good recommendations, I'll add one more. Use the power button on your system to 'force fail' the boot loader. Wait until BIOS startup is complete and as soon as the Windows logo appears press and hold the power button until the system shuts down. As soon as it powers down do it all over again twice more. Modern Windows with UEFI will usually automatically give you the Safe Mode or Recovery Console (depending on version) on the fourth failed boot cycle. I have to say your problem is a bit unique so I would add that, at least once, leave the machine alone for a few hours, or even overnight. It is rare but I have seen an occasional update on a particular system seem to 'hang' for as much as three hours then suddenly rocket through. I suspect it may be due to errors on the permanent storage device resident in the system area because this problem is usually accompanied by a steady but slow series of drive access activity. As you may be aware, disk repairs at that level can be brutally slow but failure to repair can result in a trashed system and lost data.
What happens if I turn off my computer during Windows updates?
It's very unpredictable as it depends on what part of the OS the update was working on when you turned the power off. It could render the system unbootable, get stuck in an infinite boot-reboot loop and whatnot.If you are reading this before shutting down your system then there is a neat trick that could solve your problem. Usually if the updater is trying to update USB or DVD drivers, it will be stopped by any device plugged into those ports. It usually stops at 92-99% if this happens. In that case simply remove all peripherals that are not necessary like USB mice, keyboards, pendrives etc and you will notice that the update proceeds in a few minutes.If you are here after the unfortunate incident then not to worry. As of now windows doesn't even know that something is wrong. It tries and tries really hard to find the correct files to boot up but they simply don't exist. So we need to make it realize something has gone wrong and display the recovery options.Boot windows normally and wait for it to get stuck.Then long press your power button to do a hard reset.Repeat this around three to four times and windows will now take you to the troubleshooting window!Select from the options to either refresh your windows, which will leave all personal data untouched, uninstall all non default apps and clear registry, or restore windows from a previous restore point.The latter is your best choice and usually before any major update, windows makes a system restore point. If not then it's your bad luck and the restore point may be well in the past. But it's nothing to fret over because all your personal files will still be there. It's just the windows settings and features that will be old.Good luck! It's windows… you’ll need it :p

How do I stop my Android Lollipop from "Optimizing app" on boot?
Hey there! I hope I can list some information that can help. I know how aggravating it is when something goes haywire after an update.I did some research on this issue specifically and found it to be a known issue. There are others going through the same situation. Here are some steps to try:First, I would try to recall if the issue happened after installing an app and if so, remove it. You can always reinstall an app that is a must have. (This is hit or miss but worth troubleshooting.)Second, I would try the troubleshooting steps provided by Motorola. The following steps were released in an effort to resolve the issue:1. Ensure the device is powered off, and unplugged2. Press and hold the Volume Down button and Power button (located on the right edge of the device) for approximately 3 seconds then release.3. From the "Boot Mode Selection Menu" screen, select Recovery.Note: Use the Volume Down button to scroll through the menu options and the Volume Up button to select.4. From the "No Command" screen (Android figure lying on his back), press and hold the Power button then press and release the Volume Up button to display the menu options.5. Select "wipe cache partition".Note: Use the Volume buttons to highlight and the Power button to select.6. "Reboot system now" will be highlighted, press the Power button to select it.Note: Allow several minutes for the reboot process to complete.Third, if that doesn’t work, there is always the option to restore to factory settings. I know it is normally the least desirable but it is effective. I would back up as much information as the situation will allow.The last step, if not already done, would be to contact your carrier for their tech support department. These situations can sometimes be carrier specific.If you have insurance or mobile protection through Asurion, that gives you a couple of options. Total Mobile Protection will give you one on one support that will be with you until the end. Devices, when purchased new, come with a one year warranty. If you have insurance, it could be extended to a two year warranty. If it’s within the one year warranty and there is no liquid / physical damage, Motorola would generally replace the device.Here are a couple of resources for you -"Android is Starting" "Optimizing App x of xxx" With Restarts of the phone 5.1 VerizonOptimizing apps on every rebootHow to fix 'Android is starting' optimization on every boot?Hope this helps!
How do I fix BlueStacks when it won't open?
How to fix Bluestack when it’s not loading/openingI had this same issue yesterday but before I could google this out I made a quick fix.However my solution could be helpful to Windows 8 users.Steps to fix this.If Bluestack was recently installed/running on your system that means your PC probably have the minimum requirements already (i.e 2 GB of RAM, 4 GB of Hard Disk/Drive space to accommodate the Bluestack files.) else make sure your PC meets the aforementioned requirements.Go to your Program files and uninstall Bluestack (correctly).Go to your Bluestack offline installer exe file and try installing it again.when installing it (after it has been successfully uninstalled from your Program files) if you get an error message… that your system’s graphics card doesn’t support bluestack. (that will a little bit throw you off guard, you may be thinking… why was I able to install it successfully before this current issue?).Kindly refresh your desktop, right-click, (if you use NVIDIA Graphics card, fine) scroll to where you have it, click and go to your ‘global setting’ tab and select ‘High-performance NVIDIA processor..Note: if you don’t know where to find your Graphics card, the easiest way to find your graphics card is to run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool: Click Start. On the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.. voila you will see for yourself the complete DirectX details including your processor speed, graphics card e.t.c and remember to select the “Best Performance” in your Graphics Card Control Panel.Final step, go back to your installation and enjoy a smooth installation process (for me, I love to uncheck app notification boxes, you can do that for Bluestack too if it’s ok by you.)At this point you must have a working/fast internet connection to enable your apps run fine on the Bluestack android emulator.Working screenshot of my Bluestack app.
