Anyone know if there is a problem with the "Windows Update" site? Since May 11, 2010...

Anyone know if there is a problem with the "Windows Update" site? As of May 11, 2010 I could not access it for 2 days now.  I get an error report indicating that he has a "problem with the site '... Not sure if it's my computer or the site itself. I just need to check updates and download them. I would be grateful for any feedback...  Thank you!
~ Jenifer

It is without a doubt.  There were a few patches published today, and I was able to update all my machines successfully.  This looks more like a virus problem.  Have you run a virus scan recently?  Many times, if you are infected the virus will prevent you to access Windows Update.

You can also use Microsoft Fix It to reset the Windows Update components: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  This could also be your problem.

Let me know how it goes,

  • Problem with the WIndows Update page

    I am running Windows XP with Service pack 3. Microsoft Security essentials is the security system. When trying to run Windows Update using Internet Explorer 8, at the point of the page is to check that if my system is the correct update software, the page fails, finally displaying the message "Internet Explorer has stopped to try to restore this Web site. It seems that the Web site continues to be a problem. "This is repeated each time I have repeat the initial attempt, or click 'Back to the microsoft.com site' on the error page. Is the problem with the Microsoft web page (the address is www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx ) or on my computer?

    When I try to run Windows Update... to the point that the page is to check If my system is correct, update software the page can't...  Is the problem with the web page of Microsoft ( www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx ) or on my computer?

    You are correct George: whenever you access the site Windows or Microsoft Update, Windows Update will take care of updating itself. that is, it looks for updates available from the Windows Update Agent or the customer allows you to update your system.

    Since June 21, 2012 a WUA new version 7. 6. 7600. 256 aired by WU to automatically update itself its version now aged 7. 4. 7600. 226 .

    The problem you see may occur when there is a version mismatch of the file with the Windows Update Agent files, which is a mixture of old files with the new files. This is due to an installation "or damaged."

    You can take a look at your windowsupdate.log file located in your WINDOWS directory, to check the error codes - missing files or failling updated files (especially c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll, wups2.dll, c:\windows\system32\wups.dll or wuweb.dll).

    You must re-register or re - install files WU in order to obtain the Service Windows Update works again. Try here:

    Hi DilipAssar,

    ·         What happens when you try to run windows update?

    ·         You receive an error message/code?

    ·         Did you the latest changes on the computer?

    ·         How long have you been experiencing this problem?

    ·         What exactly is the computer or the mouse gel?

    Search for the error message for the updates that have failed to be updated.

    To check the update fails, follow the steps:

    Click Start > all programs > windows update > view update history

    I suggest you try the methods mentioned below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Put the computer in a clean boot State before proceeding with the installation of windows update.

    Note: After installing windows update, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 2: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 3: Reset the Windows Update components.

    I understand that you were unable to complete the upgrade to Windows 8.1. but it is consistent that you have performed the update checking tool.  I regret having this difficulty.

    Have you had a running anit-virus that might have prevented it?

    Alternatively, you can try to install the update in safe mode with network.  Computers HP - Safe Mode of Windows 8

    Did you run HP Support Assistant to ensure you have the latest HP updates before you tried this?

    Here is a link to update from Windows 8 to 8.1 to help you.

    If you are still unable to update to Windows 8.1 I do a Refresh Your PC to solve problems (Windows 8) and then retry the update.

    The last option is to do a cover of the factory and in case of failure to allow the upgrade I suggest to contact HP support for further assistance.

    I intend to buy a Apple Watch, United States of America, but I own a European iPhone 6 Plus device. Anyone know if I have a problem with the sync between devices? I don't think, but it would be more useful to have a definite answer for this as my assumption...

    Hi John

    The devices normally work together.

    There is no difference in the hardware specifications for the watch. It can be configured to use your preferred language and format of the region.

    Adapter USB power to the watch will be located in the United States. To charge your watch via food in Europe, you can use the magnetic charge cable supplied together with a real 5W Apple (iPhone) or 12W (iPad) adapter USB power (or with a third party, Apple certified adapter).
