TROUBLESHOOTING THE “PREPARING TO CONFIGURE” STUCK ISSUE ON WINDOWS PC

Sometimes a “Preparing to Install Windows” message appears when you turn on your
system or laptop, please do not turn off your computer. This message doesn’t
mean anything other than that your system is performing the necessary routine
updates, which can take more than half an hour.

However, in some cases, the update installation hangs, there is a problem in the
Windows update, and you need to fix it. Before we get to the solutions, let’s
take a look at what causes Windows configuration preparation to freeze.

WHAT CAUSES WINDOWS TO FREEZE DURING “PREPARING TO CONFIGURE”?

There are many reasons why the system crashes during “Windows Setup”. The most
common cause is a software conflict or a previously hidden problem that occurred
after installing Windows updates. A much rarer cause of a screen freeze is a
Microsoft error related to the update itself.

Missing or corrupted files: Sometimes some files get corrupted or lost during
the Windows update installation process, causing an error. It is also possible
that some files are ignored by the installer during Windows installation, or the
files are installed incorrectly because the installation was interrupted by a
power surge.

Hard disk errors: some hard disk errors may interfere with the installation,
causing Windows to be misconfigured and the installation process to fail to
complete efficiently, causing the screen to freeze. Such an error can be caused
by corrupted log files or by hard disk resources.

If it takes longer than usual to install Windows updates and you feel something
suspicious, you should focus on fixing the problem so that it does not lead to a
new problem. You can use the solutions suggested in this article.

HOW TO REPAIR THE “PREPARING TO CONFIGURE” DISPLAY PROBLEM FOR WINDOWS
COMPUTERS?

PERFORMING AN SFC SCAN

SFC scan can check and detect any problems with drivers, signatures, and other
important computer files. So in this step, we will perform an SFC scan to
determine if there is a problem with Windows files.

1. Press “Windows” + “R” to open the “Run” command prompt.
2. Type “cmd” and press “Shift” + “Ctrl” + “Enter” to get administrator rights.
3. Enter the following command and press “Enter”.
sfc /scannow
4. Check if the problem persists after analysis.

UPDATE WINDOWS IN SAFE MODE

If these scans do not fix the problem and the computer takes too long to connect
to your account, we recommend that you reboot and completely disable all
third-party antivirus programs.

1. After restarting your computer, press “Windows” + “I” to open the settings.
2. Click on the “Update and Security” option and to the left on the “Windows
Update” option.
3. Select the “Check for updates” option and wait for the computer to check for
new updates.
4. Click on the “Install” option when the scan is complete.
5. Check that the updates have been installed successfully.

PERFORMING A SYSTEM RESTORATION

In some cases, if you can’t log into Windows, you can perform a system reset to
see if that helps.

1. Reboot your computer and press the “F11” key several times during the boot
process.
2. This will open up advanced recovery options. Click on the “Troubleshooting”
option and select “Advanced”.
3. In the advanced options, select “System Restore” and click on the restore
you want to select.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to begin the restore, and wait for it
to complete.
5. Check to see if the problem persists after the recovery is complete.

TROUBLESHOOTING: LEAGUE OF LEGENDS ERROR CODE 003 IN WINDOWS 10

One of the most frustrating error codes you can encounter in League of Legends
is the 003 error code that appears whenever you try to add new patches. Here’s
what you can do about it.

This error code indicates a connection problem between the receiving client and
the patch server. The most common cause is an unstable connection.

When exploring an evolving metaphor or trying out new content, error 003 will
hang for a long minute while you try to solve the problem.

WHAT CAUSES ERROR CODE 003 IN LEAGUE OF LEGENDS?

Internet problem: If the problem is caused by connecting to the Internet from a
remote location that is not allowed by the server, or if the server deems the
connection suspicious, the files will not be able to be installed. Therefore, it
is recommended that you use a VPN to connect or try to establish another
connection.

Corrupted content: the content downloaded from the launcher may have been
corrupted, causing an error when applying the fix. Large files can often be
corrupted if the connection is unstable or quickly dropped and restored during
the download. This can also cause League of Legends to no longer open.

Windows Update: In some cases, an error may occur when a Windows update is
pending installation. It is important that all Windows updates are installed and
that the update queue is empty. If there are updates waiting to be installed,
this error may occur.

Antivirus: In some cases, antivirus installed on the system may prevent the
launcher from installing a patch/game, causing an error. This is usually due to
a false warning from an anti-virus program that classifies certain files on your
computer as suspicious, preventing the launcher from installing them.

HOW TO SOLVE THE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS ERROR CODE 003?

HOW TO REPAIR: BLUE SCREEN ERROR 0X00000109 ON WINDOWS 10

Error 0x00000109 (BSOD) occurs during the boot sequence and prevents affected
users from using their PC. In most cases, this error occurs every time the
system boots and renders the affected PC completely unusable.

The kernel is an important part of a computer’s operating system. During the
boot process, it is the first program loaded into the protected memory area. Not
only does it act as a bridge between the system resources and the PC user, but
it also acts as a manager of memory, resources, and peripherals. Thus, you can
see how a problem with the kernel leads to a blue screen of death.

WHAT CAUSES BLUE SCREEN ERROR 0X00000109?

Damaged RAM: RAM can be corrupted and cause BSOD problems. RAM is important
because it is needed to run applications and programs. Damaged RAM means the
loss of an important component for Windows. To compensate for this, Windows
stops important RAM-related processes. This solves the blue screen of death
problem.

Driver problems: If blue screen 0x00000109 appears when Windows starts up, the
most likely cause is a driver problem. Driver problems are one of the main
causes of the blue screen of death (BSOD). Drivers perform several important
processes, such as I/O management, security management, and plug-and-play memory
detection. Thus, when a driver problem occurs, the system is forced to terminate
an important process, resulting in a BSOD.

Software corruption/virus infection: Software corruption is one of the main
causes of BSOD errors. Blue screen errors related to software errors most often
occur when new software is installed or recently updated. Sometimes these
updates are not compatible with drivers, leading to BSOD problems. A recent
software change can corrupt the Windows registry, which only increases the
likelihood of BSOD errors. If the software update is not done correctly, it will
cause data files to be lost/damaged, which can cause BSODs. Damage or loss of
important files is one of the main causes of BSOD.

HOW TO RESOLVE THE BLUE SCREEN ERROR 0X00000109?

ENABLE SAFE MODE

The first step to fix BSOD error 0x00000109 is to reboot the system in safe
mode. When safe mode is enabled, the system operates only the most basic
functions and disables secondary functions. If you enable this mode, you can
quickly resolve the blue screen error.

1. To start Safe Mode, simply reboot your system and press the F8 key on your
keyboard until the menu appears.
2. The menu opens up the option to restart the system in Safe Mode.

RECOVER HARD DRIVE

1. Run the Chkdsk function. Run the command line and enter this code: Chkdsk /f
/r to detect and repair problems on your hard drive.
2. Search and repair. The system looks for problems on the hard disk.
3. If the system finds problems, it will try to fix them.

UPDATING THE DRIVER

If driver problems are the main cause of the blue screen error 0x00000109, it’s
time to update or repair the driver. Updating the driver is a simple procedure.

1. Go to the Device Manager.
2. Go to Control Panel and select Device Manager.
3. Go to the Properties section.
4. Select the driver you want to update and right-click on it.
5. Go to the Properties menu.
6. Update Driver: Click on the “Driver” menu to display several options,
including the “Update Driver” option.
7. Click it and the system will check for new updates for the driver.

HOW TO RESOLVE “INTERNET MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE” ERROR ON ANDROID DEVICE

Android is one of the most common operating systems in the world, and rightly
so. Although the operating system works efficiently, it can fall victim to a
variety of problems. “Internet may not be available” could be one of these
errors, and we’ll help you fix it. So, here are the instructions on how to fix
the “Internet may not be available” error on Android devices.

WHAT CAUSES THE “INTERNET MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE” ERROR ON ANDROID DEVICES?

Malicious third-party apps: If you’ve installed apps that look suspicious, they
may be interfering with the Internet on your Android phone.

DHCP problems: DHCP automatically configures devices on your WiFi network,
including your Android device. If there is a problem, your phone won’t be able
to connect to the Internet.

Outdated Android version: Check if your phone has an outdated version of the
Android operating system.

DNS blocking: If a certain DNS setting is blocking certain things on your phone,
this may be the reason why your Android phone cannot connect to the Internet.

WiFi router conflicts: If there are problems with your WiFi router, your
device’s IP address may change and the router will stop recognizing it.

HOW TO REPAIR THE “INTERNET MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE” ERROR MESSAGE ON ANDROID
DEVICES?

CLEAR THE CACHE PARTITION

The cache stored by a certain app may be preventing you from connecting to
Wi-Fi. So in this step, we will clear the cache partition.

TROUBLESHOOTING: “NOT ENOUGH RAM” ERROR IN PHOTOSHOP ON WINDOWS 10 PC

Several users have recently reported the error code “Request failed to complete
due to insufficient memory (RAM)” when trying to open Photoshop or use certain
editing tools in Windows.

If you’ve encountered a similar problem, you’ve come to the right place. Here
are some of the most effective methods to help you get back on track quickly.

WHAT IS CAUSING THE PHOTOSHOP “NOT ENOUGH RAM” ERROR?

Software Settings: Updates contain important changes to improve the performance,
stability, and security of applications running on your computer. Installing
these updates ensures that your software will run safely and efficiently.
However, the unpleasant fact is that with the default settings, Photoshop
software tries to load as little as possible and use as little memory as
possible (about 1-1.5 GB). However, if you work with several heavy files or 3D
models, the specified RAM specification is logically not enough, which
eventually leads to the error in question.

Outdated device drivers: Device drivers are important software components that
allow various hardware components to work smoothly with your computer. When
these drivers are properly updated, your computer runs smoothly. However, if
they are outdated, they can cause problems that are sure to occur, such as the
problem described here.

Outdated software: This error can occur if Photoshop is outdated. Unlike
software updates, updates require the existing program you are using to be
running. Updates sometimes run automatically in the background. This is because
software updates fix newly detected security problems, fix newly detected bugs,
and add support for drivers and new hardware.

Pirated copy: If users use pirated copies of Adobe Photoshop, this error may
occur. In this case, it is simply not possible to fix the error. Many people
think they can avoid the Photoshop RAM error by downloading and installing
Photoshop from another site. However, this is risky because pirated software is
very likely to be infected with serious computer viruses that can damage the
user’s computer system. This is a very unproductive practice. Most pirated
software does not come with the manuals or technical support provided to legal
users.

HOW TO REPAIR THE “NOT ENOUGH MEMORY” ERROR IN PHOTOSHOP?

REINSTALL PHOTOSHOP

1. On the Start menu, find and open the Control Panel.
2. Select Uninstall the program.
3. Uninstall Photoshop.
4. On the system partition, go to “Programs” and delete the remaining folder.
5. Reboot your computer.
6. Download the licensed version and install it on your computer.

DISABLING BACKGROUND APPS

1. In the Windows search box, type MSConfig and open System Configuration.
2. On the Services tab, check the Hide all Microsoft services checkbox.
3. Click Disable All to disable all active third-party services.
4. Confirm the changes and try restarting Photoshop.

INCREASING THE RAM USAGE

1. Open Photoshop.
2. Open Edit, click Preferences, and then click Performance.
3. Set the value with the slider to 100% working memory.
4. Confirm the changes.
5. If you can’t allocate 100% to memory usage, set it to 96% and try again.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW TO FIX THE "INSUFFICIENT MEMORY" ERROR?

The recommended solution to this error is to increase your computer's virtual
memory. This will allow your computer to use virtual memory (swap file) when RAM
is not available.

HOW TO CLEAR THE CACHE IN PHOTOSHOP CC?

Clearing the cache is easy: when you open an image in Photoshop, click the
"Edit" menu button. Hover over "Purge" to display the cache options. Select the
item you want to purge or select "all" to purge all caches.

HOW DO I FIX PHOTOSHOP NOT ENOUGH RAM?

1. Open Photoshop.
2. Open Edit, click on Preferences, then click on Performance.
3. Use the slider to set it to 100% RAM.
4. Confirm the changes.
5. If you can't allocate 100% to memory usage, set it to 96% and try again.

WILL MORE RAM MAKE PHOTOSHOP FASTER?

Increasing the amount of RAM won't make Photoshop faster, but it can eliminate
bottlenecks and improve efficiency. If you're running multiple programs or
filtering large files, you'll need a lot of memory. You can buy more RAM or
better use the one you have.

HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT CMUSBDAC.SYS BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH ERROR ON WINDOWS 10 PC

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (CMUSBDAC.SYS) is a BSOD that has been
bothering PC users since the release of Windows 10 cumulative update KB4016635.
The blue screen of death usually occurs when using a USB microphone. However, it
has also been reported to occur when playing games, downloading updates, or
immediately after a system reboot.

According to some experts, the CMUSBDAC.SYS error may be caused by faulty update
components. However, others claim that the main reason for the interruption is a
virus/malware or a corrupt C-Media USB Audio Class Driver. Unfortunately, the
bug continues to cause problems for users around the world.

In fact, the CMUSBDAC.SYS file is associated with the C-Media USB Audio Class
Driver. The file itself cannot be deleted or modified because it is part of the
Windows I/O subsystem.

Like most BSODs, the CMUSBDAC.SYS Stop error can be extremely annoying,
especially if the user is not a technology expert and has only a basic knowledge
of Windows operating system maintenance. It usually occurs 5 or 6 times a day,
which is a lot considering that every time the
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (CMUSBDAC.SYS) error appears, the system has
to reboot.

Unfortunately, there are no official solutions yet, but you can try to get your
PC back up and running. As we said before, the problem of these errors may be
related to malware infection. Therefore, you should perform a full system scan
before trying methods to fix the error.

WHAT CAUSES CMUSBDAC.SYS BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH?

C-Media Audio Class incompatibility: If the C-Media USB Audio Class driver is
currently active on your computer (after upgrading from Windows 7 or Windows
8.1), you can solve the problem by using Device Manager to remove it and replace
it with common equivalents.

Blue Snowball microphone conflict: If you are using a third-party Blue Snowball
microphone in Windows 10, the driver it should use by default (which belongs to
the C-Media infrastructure) may not be fully compatible with Windows 10. In this
case, you must install the Asio3All driver package to resolve the conflict.

Completely outdated motherboard drivers: It turns out that one of the most
common reasons for this behavior in Windows 10 is that the motherboard and/or
chipset drivers are severely outdated. In this case, you can fix the problem by
updating the drivers through official channels.

HOW TO SOLVE THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH CMUSBDAC.SYS?

PERFORM A SYSTEM RESTORE

If your system has been updated or you have installed new programs on your
computer, the new updates may not be compatible with your computer and the
CMUSBDAC.sys blue screen may appear.

1. Click the “Start” button in the lower-left corner of the screen and type
“recovery”.
2. Then click on Restore in the list of results.
3. Click Open System Restore to open the System Restore Wizard.
4. Follow the System Restore Wizard to restore your system from a system
restore point.
5. After system restore, restart your computer as usual and check if the blue
screen error is resolved.

REINSTALL THE C-MEDIA USB AUDIO CLASS DRIVER

Since the CMUSBDAC.sys blue screen error may be due to a problem with the
C-Media USB Audio Class Driver, you can uninstall and reinstall the driver to
solve the problem.

1. Press the Windows logo and R keys on your keyboard simultaneously to bring
up the Run dialog box.
2. Type devmgmt.msc and click OK.
3. Double-click Sound, Video, and Game Controllers to expand the category.

6. Reboot your computer.
7. Go to the manufacturer’s website to download and install the C-Media USB
Audio Class driver on your computer.
8. Reboot your computer after reinstalling and check if the CMUSBDAC.sys blue
screen has been restored.

SCAN FOR VIRUSES AND MALWARE

Perform a virus scan on your entire Windows system. Yes, it may take some time,
but it is worth it. Unfortunately, Windows Defender may not detect the virus.
Therefore, it is worth trying another antivirus program.

1. If malware is detected, follow the instructions of the antivirus program to
remove it.
2. Then restart your computer as usual and see if that solves the blue screen
problem.

CMUSBDAC.sys blue screen may appear if your system is infected with viruses or
malware.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW TO REPAIR “1720-SMART HARD DRIVE DETECTS IMMINENT FAILURE” ERROR

Some PC users report that they get a 1720 SMART Hard Drive detects imminent

WHAT CAUSES THE “1720-SMART HARD DRIVE DETECTS IMMINENT FAILURE” ERROR MESSAGE?

Faulty drive: Once you have verified that poorly cached data is not the cause of
the problem, a faulty drive remains the only possible culprit. You can use a
third-party utility such as Speccy to check if this is the case, but ultimately
it comes down to backing up the data from the failed drive and replacing it.

Inconsistent temporary data: Keep in mind that often this error can be caused by
a false positive due to bad caching of data from the CMOS stack or the memory
chip (as the case may be). Several users experiencing the same problem reported
that the error message disappeared on its own after temporarily removing the
CMOS battery or memory chip so that the data could be erased.

HOW TO REPAIR: WINDOWS UPDATE ERROR 9C59

If you are a Windows user, you already know how important Windows updates are.
They fix system problems, fix bugs, speed up many system processes, and are
generally a good way to optimize your PC. In most cases, Windows updates are
installed automatically without any errors.

However, some Windows users have recently encountered error code 9C59 when
trying to install a certain update or when trying to update Internet Explorer.

If you too have recently encountered this error code, you’ve come to the right
place. In today’s article, you will learn how to fix Internet Explorer error
9C59 when updating.

WHAT CAUSES THE WINDOWS UPDATE ERROR 9C59?

The third-party conflict caused by Kaspersky: Of all the third-party AV programs
that are reported to have problems with IE 11, Kasperksy is the most common
culprit. If this problem occurs when using Kaspersky as the default security
package, you can solve it by uninstalling Kaspersky and removing any remnants of
previous attempts to install IE 11 before reinstalling the browser properly.

Update limitation: Many Windows 7 users have been unable to install Internet
Explorer 11 due to an obvious limitation indirectly caused by Windows Update. In
this case, you can solve the problem by using a standalone installer to install
the problematic browser on Windows 7.

Damaged Windows Update component: One of the most common causes of this
particular problem is a damaged Windows Update subcomponent. Several affected
users in a similar scenario were able to resolve the problem by performing a
sequential scan of the SFC and DISM to restore the corrupted instances.

Damaged system file: In some cases, this error may be a direct result of a
corrupted base system file, which affects the operating system’s ability to
install new updates. In this case, you must update all Windows components using
a process such as a clean install or a restore install.

TCP or IP blocks: another possible scenario, exclusively for Windows 10, is when
corrupt temporary data interferes with an update of existing software signed by
Microsoft. In this case, an old version of Internet Explorer (usually Internet
Explorer 9) must be uninstalled before creating a .bat file that can delete the
remaining files from the previous installation.

HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT THE WINDOWS UPDATE ERROR 9C59?

PERFORMING DISM AND SFC SCANS

Windows is prone to errors, and optimizing your system can be tedious as well as
risky. Fortunately, Windows has some handy troubleshooting utilities that you
can safely turn to for solutions. If the problem is caused by a corruption error
or a bug in the system, you can solve it with a DISM scan and sfc.

1. Type cmd in the search box and click Run as administrator to run the
advanced command line.
2. In the command prompt window, type the command below and press Enter to run.
sfc /scannow
3. If the system file checker detects any problems, it resolves them.
4.
5. Then open a command prompt by running the first step again.
6. Now type the command below at the extended command prompt and press Enter.
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
7. Finally, restart your computer and check if the error has been fixed.

REINSTALLING WINDOWS

If the above method didn’t work, it means that the system corruption error
cannot be resolved using the standard troubleshooting steps. In this case, it is
best to uninstall Windows and install a fresh copy. This will solve all
operating system problems, including the one we are dealing with.

INSTALL INTERNET EXPLORER 11 USING A STANDALONE INSTALLER

If the Windows Update 9C59 error appears on the screen when you try to install
or update Internet Explorer 11 on your computer, the update components may be

and download it.
