Anyone running Windows (Vista or 7) with a SSD having problems with Windows Update? FIXED *.

I ask this question because I have now two computers with this problem.

A computer running Win7 and it used to work with the SSD but recently I wipe the drive and reinstall the OS and now it will not update windows.

The second computer is a laptop with WinVista final.  This machine, I have improved since a physical hard drive to an SSD a month ago.  This time, he made Windows update without problem.  Now all of a sudden it will also not Windows update.

A third computer in my house that runs WinVista on a physical drive will be the Windows Update now without any problems.

So the only link I see is the SSD...

I replied to your other thread on this issue, but in the case where you'd miss it, I copied and pasted what I wrote here.

FIXED!

My laptop is fixed and is installing new updates (I probably Jinx it now and it will come with an error).

What I did ask the help desk where you chat with a microsoft technician, they take control of remote access from my laptop, and after about an hour of playing around with it (I tried to follow what they were doing - many command prompt and things) they have restarted and said it should be good now. I was very doubtful, because it just shows the same page hanging so thought I would not want to go back and ask them again the next day, but I left it overnight and here this morning there were some updates 208 ready and waiting!

The technician was really helpful, they offered me paid a pension of microsoft (I think they must do this in standard), but I politely declined and they were wearing on fixing it free in any case for me!

They gave me a few options also, they said that if they had done did not work, then I could try searching with an ethernet cable (sometimes a more stable connection is all you need) or if it does not, they offered me a newer version of windows 7, which had all updates already downloaded if I wanted to do an OS reinstall everything (I said I prefer not the) do that but it was nice to have the option, if everything else has failed). They also said they would offer phone support for free all the reinstall if I need assistance.

He also confirmed that they solve this problem a lot and it was certainly not an error at the end of microsoft, or anything to do with the SSD/HDD, etc..

Overall, really impressed with the service of help desk, I highly recommend asking them if you still need help. Go here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/contactus?wa=wsignin1.0# and click on "services and applications" to open a window where you can chat.

One thing though, once that my laptop had found all of the updates, I clicked on install and it came with the error message 80240016. I Googled, followed the instructions on this link here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/windows-update-error-80240016 and it worked perfectly the second time around.

Just to confirm, now that I've finished writing this post, my updates have completely installed!

Hope it will be useful to anyone still hurt!

  • Vista 64 SP2: when you run windows update, trustedinstaller takes 100% of one of the drivers for more than 20 minutes

    I recently bought a new computer, when I run Windows Update there is a process called TrustedInstaller.exe, taking 100% of one of the cores for a very long time (> 20 minutes).

    I have vista 64 SP2 and all updates installed (took me over 3 days to complete).

    Also, when I try to install additional features of windows (for example. IIS) the same thing happens, trusteinstaller takes 100% of the base and install new features forever.

    I have not installed additional software so far is very little probable that a virus or spyware is the cause. When I'm not updating the an or install features of windows, the computer running quickly and the cpu load is not high at all.

    How long was the computer connected to the internet before you installed Avast?

    Can update you Avast manually?

  • Error 80072efe when you try to run Windows Update (computers)

    In the last week or so, Windows updates have begun failing on our computers to Vista. Sometimes it will work. If there are no updates, there is no difficulty to install. Error # is always the same. Here is a text of the passage of a WindowsUpdate.log:

    An interesting sidenote, if we try to navigate to update.microsoft.com in a browser, after a long break, we get a banner at the top of Microsoft, and three empty frames all display connection errors.

    We tried different DNS servers, we bypassed the firewall, we tried all possible parameters in the network configuration of PCs, we tried to define the parameters of Internet security at the lowest level possible.
    At this point, I'm fresh out of ideas.

    Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem?

  • I try to run windows update and it will not update gives error code 80070005

    I try to run windows update and it will not update gives error code 80070005, I also ran fix and it tells me that it is fixed but it is not getting the same error code when I try to update after running it help please?

    Hello

     
     

    1. which Microsoft Fixit did you?

    2 have you installed new hardware or software before the show?

    3. who is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

    4 update you are trying to install?

    5. are you logged on as administrator on the computer?


    If this isn't the case, I suggest you to log on as an administrator and check for the issue.
     
    Method 1:
    One of the other reason for the 80070005 error is caused by software running on your computer security.
    Temporarily disable the security software on the computer and see if that makes a difference.
    Disable the anti-virus software
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-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 need to 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, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Method 2:
    I suggest you perform the steps described in the article:
    Error: 0x80070005 when you try to install updates by using Microsoft Update or Windows Update
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/968003
    This problem may occur if access is denied when accessing or copying files during the process of Windows Update or Microsoft Update. Access may be denied if you have logged on to the computer as a standard user and this account does not have permission to install updates. I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

    Method 3:
    Perform a clean boot, and then check if it helps.

  • CODE 80072EFE: cannot run windows update

    I had some problems with my computer Windows Vista - Business Office.  Here are the ones I've noticed so far.

    1. I can't run windows update, I get error code 80072efe when I try.

    2. I get continuous popups.  Not all the time and not every time I have a Web browser open.  Sometimes my browser will open only to Web sites at random, for most of the sites trying to sell me something.  I've just close it before it ends even loading and it will be generally fine for awhile.

    3. on my desk, I'm going to organize my icons where I want that they around my screen (work icons in a spot programs, browsers/email in another, records of files on my second monitor, etc.)  Whenever I restart all my icons automatically group either by date or name, and I have to go through the re-organization.  (This one is obviously not really important but I thought that I list all symptoms).

    4. I tried to do a system restore, my computer has a restore point when you start if you press F11 on the scree of HP (or enter the boot menu by pressing F8 or F5, etc) and it will not allow me to enter this screen.  I can't enter the menu start and any other menu it lists on this screen, but the system restore seems to be disabled in some way.

    I tried to run the scan on windows.live.support (or whatever the site is) and he found a lot of problems and 1 question he couldn't solve, so now I'm stuck.  I tried running malwarebytes scan and it does not pick up any viruses.

    Any suggestions?

    Launch TDsskiller (Rootkit removal tool)

    http://support.kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/tdsskiller.zip.

    After that, restart the computer and check for updates

    And if there is a pop - up use the scanner found at http://safety.live.com

  • How to run Windows update for Win XP SP3 using Firefox

    My desktop PC computer running windows XP with SP3. My spouse uses IE 8 for its browser. I use Firefox Version 24. for my browser. Previously, whenever we ran MS or Windows update it starts IE and works very well. IE 8 blew up and does more (execution errors). I tried to go to the site to update Windows using Firefox and he came back and told me that I had to use IE to launch Win update on an XP system. Is this true? I don't want to use IE at all. Is it possible to use Firefox to run Windows or MS update on my Win XP system? Thank you.

    You cannot run windows update using Firefox because it uses controls ActiveX Firefox is not (and will never). Yes, then unfortunately use IE for Windows update.

  • Error 80072EFE when you run Windows Update on Win7 so wireless

    You try to run Windows update on a new laptop from Toshiba with Windows 7 installed and a good wireless connection to a router I get error 80072EFE rather than a list of updates. If I connect directly to the router the updated list comes through fine. I can then unplug the router and download updates more wireless.

    Initially I was running tried to reinstall as 32-bit, 64-bit Win7, but made no difference. Tried to update after I just installed Win7 before Norton and other applications on. Contacted Belkin and they gave me a checklist of the router to do, but not better. Someone at - it ideas? The problem is reproducible even with Norton and other installed applications. If you connect the router updates Windows detects the updates to install. If you work with wireless it gets error 80072EFE.

    Phil

    If I connect directly to the router the updated list comes through fine.

    Until you get your wireless connection problems straightened, run your manually check updates when you are connected to the router.
