• Windows Update keeps providing the same 6 updates again and again.

  This is the third time that I am a request for assistance with this problem.

  I have Vista Home Premium, 32-bit sp1.  HP Pavilion PC, about 2 years.  Norton Internet Security, Malwarebytes and Defender on.

  Since September 8, I was offered various updates.  I can't install the 6 following updates:
  KB967723
  KB970710
  KB968816
  KB905866
  KB971961
  KB973768

  I have install, update says that they have been installed successfully. they next day, they are offered again and if I go to view installed updates that are not there, although that still listed as installed with success in the history of the update.  Note: I do NOT receive the error messages.

  The first response to my original message does not understand my problem because he told me to uninstall the updates I had already said were not there.  I followed his other recommendations anyway (try to install the updates in the clean boot state) and it made no difference.

  The second speaker suggested reset components Windows Update (who has not made a difference) and using the system update tool (which apparently, the site said I didn't need).

  Any other ideas?  I'm trying to update my system and do not feel I can do so until that these issues would be resolved.

  Thank you

• Several Windows updates fail with the same error code 80070081 0 x

  Anyone has any idea why? I just run SFC/scannow and restarted the computer, but no joy.

  Thank you for your help. When I wrote the first time, I had already tried your mentioned basic steps. : D I was troubleshooting computers for friends and family for a long time, and I'm a fan of CCleaner (one of the first things I install on any computer!). Unfortunately, they had not solved the problem.

  I have not run Windows repair tool. It is a work computer, and because my colleague use it almost all the time, I didn't have enough time to play with him. Anyway, he had a program called "Advanced Systemcare v.6" that someone had already loaded. A scan with the program detected and repaired something that solves the problem of failure of Windows Update.

  But I will keep your advice in mind. During the next update Tuesday, if updates not yet once again, I'll try the Windows repair tool.

  Thanks again!

Does anyone have advice good?

  Hello

  1. What are the troubleshooting steps correct you did to fix the problem?

  2 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

  I would say allowing you to run the FIXIT from the link provided and check if it helps.

  You receive error 0 x 80070020 when you use the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site to install the updates

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/883825

  You can also try the manual steps and check.

  If you follow the manual steps to start the computer in a clean boot state, remember to start the computer in normal mode after you have completed troubleshooting.

  Note: when you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7, mentioned in the article to start the computer to a normal startup.

  Note: It is possible that some data could be removed if infections are detected.

  Hope this helps and keep us posted.

  Do you have other accounts of users on this PC?  If you install this update from the main account?

  You should get the number of the update of the updated history list and then download the file here: Microsoft downloads.
  If sure that nothing else is running, and then install the update manually.  Give it a try and let us know the results.
