8 window does not accept windows updates!

I recently downloaded windows 8 and does not receive windows updates.  This does not prevent my installation things like itunes!  I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing seems to work.  Anyone know why?  I disabled the firewall, I tried windows update diagnosis, research on windows update for updates and does not display anything, I tried virus checking.  I am at a loss and is about to throw the computer and get a woman in the place!

Hello

Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft Community.

As you've already tried several troubleshooting steps, I suggest that you try to reset the Windows Update components. This clears the cache to update and will allow windows to check for each update is available on our server. If an update is found is not installed, which will appear under available updates.

I suggest that you follow the steps below and try to reset the Windows Update components:

  1. Press Windows + X key.
  2. Click on (Admin) command prompt.
  3. Disable Windows Update services. Type the following commands and press on enter after each line
    1. net stop bits
    2. net stop wuauserv
    3. net stop appidsvc
    4. net stop cryptsvc
  4. Reset update components. Copy the following text and paste the same in the command line window.
    1. Ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.bak
    2. Ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak
  5. (Note: shortcut keys do not work in the Windows command prompt, please use right click to paste these codes.)
  6. Restart the Services. Type the following commands and press on enter after each line:
    1. net start bits
    2. net start wuauserv
    3. net start appidsvc
    4. net start cryptsvc

Try to check the updates now, let us know if you encounter error messages.

Hope this information is useful. Just reply with the results and if you need help or have any other questions about Windows, we're here to help.

    update of sql server 2005 service pack 3 error code 6D9E Windows update security does not accept the update

    Hey lasdj,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!

    If you receive Windows Update error 6d9e while installing SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 by using Windows Update, it means that the installation folders and directories are compressed or encrypted.

    To fix this problem, make sure the folder locations where you are installing the service pack to aren't compressed or encrypted, or specify a different folder and then run Windows Update again.

    Therefore, remove the compression of the DATA directory and run together to the top again.

    Remove compression from the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server folder and see if you are able to install the updates without any problem.

    See the links below for more details:

  • Windows Vista does not accept my password (unchanged) but I have no recovery disk - Windows is already installed

    Hello

    As the title says after using my laptop without any previous problems, suddenly I can not connect on Windows Vista.

    I'm 100% sure that the password has not been changed, caps lock, shift, caps lock Num etc is not active.

    When I bought the laptop, Vista was already installed, so I don't have a recovery disk.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you are unable to connect to Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you can use the Windows Vista System Restore feature, or the Windows 7 system restore feature.

    You may be unable to connect to Windows Vista or Windows 7 in the following scenarios:

    • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
    • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
    • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.
    • Scenario 4: You change an administrator account protected with a standard user account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

    Malware can also cause problems with passwords:

    If the above does not fix it:

    Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
