I found that when this happens I ctrl alt del ... sign out sign in as a different user like a local admin and go into windows update settings and pause the updates.   Log out and log back in with the new migrated user and should be ok, if not you might have to reboot after pausing windows updates, i cant remember.   

Once logged in you can go back and un pause the updates and everything should be fine.

> Although annoying, the problem is not serious. If you see this, just press Ctrl+Alt+Del and kill the upwpm2.exe process. You should find everything is ok.

That would be good, except you cant bring up the task manager to kill it. CTRL+ALT+DEL works and you can start the task manager, but it starts in the background.

Any other ideas?

PS. The download on the website is 3.14.1236. Where can we get 3.14.1238?

Thanks for you answer. Can you tell me where to find the last version. On your website, we only find the 3.14.1236.0 version.
We'll get back to you as soon as we have tried the new version. Thanks again.

I’m sorry you had a problem. This issue is a real mystery. When we first released version 3.14 we had frequent of reports of this problem - now we get hardly any; nothing has changed. It could be that some anti-virus protection, like SmartScreen is learning to recognize the code.

Make sure you are running the latest build of the software, 3.14.1238.

Although annoying, the problem is not serious. If you see this, just press Ctrl+Alt+Del and kill the upwpm2.exe process. You should find everything is ok.

Hi, we are a company planning a migration to an AD Domain. We have to migrate about 130 computers. Forensit seemed a very interesting product to help us migrate. However we ran into a nasty problem during our testing fase. After migration -> we got the message "preparing to update apps", even after a night the apps didn't update. We did this on 2 different computers... because of this issue we are very reluctant of purchasing your software. Do you have a solution planned in the very short term for this issue? If so we would like to be informed rapidly...
thx in front

Since the post on the 16th, I'd used the tool a handful of times (6 or 7 probably) without any apparent issues. Downloaded it onto a new machine today (download from forensti.com vs. going machine-to-machine with a usb drive) and had the "preparing to update apps" screen freeze again (going on ten minutes now). Will probably reboot the machine. Hate this though, it always makes me worried about what the end-user experience is going to be like.

Got tired of waiting.
Ctrl-Alt-Del brought up the option to Sign Out.

Did that, and then signed in again as the migrated user.
Everything seems to have moved.

Do you think I'm missing anything because I did that?

Downloaded this build directly to the PC that had the profile on it to be migrated (vs onto a USB drive first) and it seemed to run fine. Interestingly, there was no "preparing to update apps" screen at all, should I be concerned? It just logged directly into the user's desktop.
