• Necessary fix for "Code 646 Windows Update engaged an unknown error"

  'Important' not installing in Windows Update downloads.  There is a small shield with a icon! on my sleep button, which indicates that the updates will be installed, but sometimes they will not be installed.  Since they are marked important, even if they are in the programs that I never use, do I need to worry?  The message reads: "Code 646 Windows Update committed an unknown error" and has a link "help with this error", but still, it does not install.

  Someone out there has a fix for this?

  Thank you

• Windows updates continue to fail. : update for windows vista (KB2378111) security error code: 800719E4

  In particular windows security updates for example updating security for windows vista (KB2378111) error code: 800719E4. With a lot more updates, they continue to fail, but only a couple succeed. When starting my computer in general goes to screen installation of updates. He finished going through step 1 and 2, but never seems to complete step 3 and remains on full where for at least 5 minutes. Then shows that updates were not properly before. Restoration of the changes. This continues to happen frequently now, and after having tried to restart my computer or install a little at a time still does not solve the problem. Also, I tried to use the troubleshooting solutions but did not have much. Don't know what else to do?

  Windows 7, you try to download windows updates and is currently blocked on KB2289158 and a KB2443839. Been trying for days to update and continue to fail.

  Can you suggest a method of compensation of this question and allowing updates to the OAB is taken into account.

• Three Windows Vista security updates continue to fail every time.

  Three Vista updates fail every time Windows Update tries to install.  They seem to settle in Windows Update and then require a reboot to complete.  During the restart of the system required, "Configuring updates 3/3 ' always shows 0% complete then finally said the ' configuration updates are not correctly installed and updates to return back and restart the system, then ends."

  These are the updates:

  Update security for WIndows Vista (KB2691442)

  Update security for WIndows Vista (KB2655992)

  A security update cumulative for Internet Explorer 9 for WIndows Vista (KB2719177)

  I tried several times with the same negative result of "failing".

  I got a Windows Defender Update yesterday and only one installed perfectly, but they are still pending.

  Suggestions?

  Thank you!

• update of security K97621 code 646 error

  My computer keeps trying to install the update of security K97621. The status of the failed instalation & details of the error are code 646

  Sorry, you have problems getting your patches installed. I have a number of things for you to look at.  First of all, your Background Intelligent Transfer Services set to Automaticand started and Windows Update ? They both should be started. You can check these settings by typing services.msc in the search box of the start menu.

  Sometimes in order to get patches to install correctly, you must perform these tasks manually.

  (1) Download Center to visit Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.
  (2) missing a number search for the update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB979309) - number you give above.
  3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run.  You must accept the agreement, and then click continue.
  (4) run the update from Microsoft, click find updates.  If all goes well, it will show that you are completely patched.

  If this does not work, try to run the Microsoft OneCare safety scanner.  Sometimes it will solve problems of hidden registry, or can clear the virus that can prevent the installation of the patches: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm. Click full service scan, and then Quick scan (full scan takes a long time to complete). Try the patches.
