    I have a laptop that I use mainly for cloud computing and travel.  I have much stored on the hard drive itself and I spent hours trying to solve the problem regarding

    Windows can't check for updates, error code 800FFFF.

    I tried some of the recommendations varied on this site, but so far without success.

    If I just wipe my computer, and then start reinstalling everything from below upwards, will that solve the problem?  I know it sounds drastic, but I'm willing to do, and hopefully learn something in the process.

    I'm not computer specific read and write... so it would take me hours, wading through all the different corrections before as I find one that works.  That's why I'm considering a reformat.

    Hello Jason.

    I suggest you try the following:
     
    close and exit all the open documents or windows program you have open.
     
    Open Internet Explorer (only!) go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 
    [ignore the warnings of DO NOT APPLY and the section will APPLY to] & run the difficulty.
     
    Note => for best results, check the option to remove personal settings.
     
    NEXT
    1. open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 [ignore the title & symptoms].
     
    1B. make disappear/close the pop-up window "automated troubleshooting! -then...
     
    c. 1, without taking into account any warnings similar, or '' not recommended '' run difficulty he 50202 in DEFAULT mode (if on a race later you still have the same failure, then repeat the above & select aggressive mode).

    2. closing of the session and restart the cool system & then run manually check the updates in Windows Update, etc, etc...
    When you get to Windows Update, a custom scan updates. Take (accept) those marked critical or Important.
     
    If it has updates Silverlight or Net Framework, select not them and leave it for one pass later.
    Those that are marked as "optional" decline.
     
    Have infinite patience so that it scans and it's work.
     
    When you are prompted to restart Windows, please do. Allow it to restart.

    If you still have a failure and you just did a Fix - IT in the default mode, date back to 1 a/1 c and now this time make the default mode AND aggressive mode (both) and retry Windows Update again

    Note: Running aggressive mode difficulty he 50202 will result in a loss of the history of the update but will not affect the actual installed updates.

    Can someone please help me why this error; Windows Update error Code 80244019 appears when I update my computer?  I think it's due to the update of Windows Defender does not. I use Windows Vista. Please can someone help me solve this problem?

    I would check to see if you have a Trojan or a virus on your system.  He saw several cases with that error and it has been resolved by removing the Trojan horse and reboot your system. Once the Trojan horse has been removed, they were able to install from Windows Update again. It seems possible that your Windows installation has been damaged deliberately by a Trojan horse to avoid you update your system or remove the Trojan horse. Your first priority should be to clean your PC of any malware.

    (1) check that the definitions for Windows Defender is updated.

    Windows Defender is a free program that helps you stay productive by protecting your computer against the pop-ups, slow performance and threats caused by software security spyware and other potentially unwanted software.

    You can download Defender from the following web site.

  • Pavilion dv6t-2000: Post recover process reimage disk - windows update error code a 8024, 000

    Hello

    After replacing my old HDD with a new SSD, I successfully used my purchased 1 & 2 recovery discs to reload Windows 7 x 64.  Now, I am able to connect to the internet and navigate through Internet Explorer, but I can't get Windows Update to work.  I get this error: Windows Update 8024A 000 error Code.

    I researched and found this fix:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows8_1-update/Windows-Update-error-code-8024a00...

    However, after you follow the steps to stop services, rename the specified files, register the dll, and then finally to leave the services, I'm still having the problem.  I also ran a utility "fix" looking for issues with the Windows Update utility, it has been correctly executed and said it solved the problem, but the problem persists.  I get more a 8024, 000 of the error, but the update still does not work.

    I don't him have not yet tried this, because of the weather, but will plan no later than today:

    In safe mode, access c:\windows\ and rename C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to SoftwareDistribution.old.
    OK and restart.

    I also tried to upgrade to the latest version of the Windows Update utility which has as well.  I can install other applications (e.g., Norton anti-virus, java, adobe flash player) without problem.

    I noticed that I have not installed ServicePack 1, I did before as I have reimagee my computer. I need to install this first?

    Anyone has any ideas, or did I miss something?

    Your help is appreciated!
