• Error number: 0x800A0046

  I'm having a few difficulties to solve the error number: 0x800A0046. Suggested used data persistence is correct. I don't have Zone Alarm or any other device filtering uncontrolled, that could be the cause of the problem. When I try to open the Component Services/computer it close the window. I have a guest user and administrator (the Administrator Help). I have re-installed SP3 - thinking that he could fix the registry - it didn't. W. Defender is in the same stage, it cannot be updated. Here the error code 0x80070005. I tried all the suggestions recommends the site MS - not a single one worked.

  Hi TaurArian,

  Followed by a few minutes: the HD was the reason for my problem. I noticed the constant term, but I thought that he's trying to solve the problem or it's indexing. In any case, when I reformatted it, she not answered for a while and then halfway on the installation of the OS crashed. After several attempts to install the OS, I have concluded that it is a failure of the HD.

  Once again; Thank you for your help, I just wanted you to know that.

• Update error number: 0x800A0046

  Page updated does not start.  Code error on the page suggests using "user persistence" in the security of the Solution Explorer.  The user persistence is enabled and has not been disabled.  Repeated attempts and reboots translates the same error code.  Need XP/2 for XP/3 upated.  Thank you

  A user who contacted Ms. received these instructions which seemed to work for him:

  
  1 log on to the computer in SafeMode as administrator (you might be able to do it without being in safe mode).
  2 rename the directory called C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution Directory Windows
  3 Rename the CATROOT2 folder in windows > System32 directory
  4 restart and try the Windows Update.
  

  It's my opinion that the automatic update service should be stopped before the above, then restarted when finished.

  To stop the automatic update service-

  Click Start, choose run.
  In the run box, type services.msc.
  Click OK.
  Right-click the automatic updates service.
  Click on stop.
  Stopping the service will take a moment.

  You can then try the instructions above recommended by another user who received the support of Ms.

  Don't forget to start the service automatic updates when you are finished
  Click Start. Choose run.
  In the run box, type services.msc.
  Click OK.
  Right-click the automatic updates service.
  Click Start.
  Starting the service will take a moment.

  Otherwise, please try again WU see the following links

• 0x800A0046 error when you try to install the updates

  From: RCTaubert

  I just did a clean install of Vista Ultimate.  After downloading all the Vista updates, using Windows Update.  More updates installed for a few failed. I reinstalled Office Pro 2007.  I tried to install "Microsoft Update so I can get the Vista & Office updates on a single screen.

  From the "Windows Update" screen, I clicked on 'Get updates for more products'.  Which takes me to '

  http://www.update.Microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/vistadefault.aspx?ln=en-us '.  I except the "terms of use" and click on "install".  I click on UAC to continue and immediately meet with the error message and the next failure: Microsoft Update could not be installed on your computer

  Make sure that you log on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group, and then try again.

  More troubleshooting options

  If your computer is connected to a network and the problem persists, contact your system administrator to see if your Microsoft Update settings are managed by using Group Policy. If your computer is not connected to a network, or if your system administrator has not disabled Microsoft Update, check if the Windows Update service is disabled or stopped. For information about how to start a service, search help and Support on your computer.

  Note: If you encounter problems with the installation of Microsoft Update, you can continue to get updates for your computer by going to Windows Update in Control Panel.  [Error number: 0x800A0046]

  I tried searching for this error number and found most of the questions & answers to several years.  I checked some of them out and found, I had already solution in place.  Hoping for more responses to day I write this messa.

  What should I do next?
