BUG: Windows Update, a negative impact on the user.

This is the second time I had this problem, but this time I thought what is the problem.

When Windows Update installs an update and requests that restart the computer and you can report up to four hours. The problem is, it ignores completely any request to postpone until after the first. If you select 4 hours, then 3 hours later tell him to postpone once again for 4 more, it will still restart regardless of your desire, an hour later.

I entered things immediately when windows starts, and this glitch cost me an important download and data from two programs I've been multitasking since he ignored my requests - it wasn't just the right time to restart because of downloading and other circumstances. It is completely unacceptable that the windows to take it upon itself to restart without asking directly for the user. In a second window 3, I lost everything I work on and watched the "Windows applies an update" etc screen, then moments later it restarted.

I had recently extended the restart, because I knew I'd be able to finish in the next 20 minutes or so. Either do take into account further postpone requests or if you carelessly ignore the desire of the user, generate a warning saying Windows PINGING in x minutes. Please save your work. I had no warning. Just bam, restart. Data of bye bye.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

So change "download updates up-to-date, but... "option then do not approve the installation of ANY updates unless you are ready to restart.

Otherwise, WYSIWYG.

PS: Do not forget this part:


Related to security updates, your computer is dangerous before this restart occurs: it is vulnerable to attacks that exploit the problem has been corrected by the update that requires a restart.

If the update requires a restart before your computer protected, why install if you are not ready to restart?

    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:

    I am running Windows 7 and noticed that Windows updates did not work. The parameters are defined for the update every day. When I went to update manually returned an error WindowsUpdate_80070017.  MSFT site was no help. Any recommendations?

    Since neither updates Jan - 10 have installed, I'm going to hand you Support MS in the hope that they can resolve the problem. See below.

    That being said, is an interpretation of the 80070017 - cyclic redundancy check error "a device attached to the system does not work," which suggests that a hardware problem might be the cause of the error (although I must say that it is a very low possibility in this case).

    Good luck!

    =======================

    Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

    Hello
    I have the same problem, replaced in my Toshiba HD, rebuild from Sysimage, Windows Update does not work. A ran "fix the problem with the Microsoft Windows Update is not working.

    The message that I got while trying to update: "Windows Update cannot currently check updates,

    Another interesting fact:
    After the reconstruction the new disk, user account control does not recognize Windows programs.
    for example: execution of Perfmon.exe, the Publisher is unknown! However, when I download the program Windows FixIt, Publisher is recognized as Microsoft Windows. It seems that user account control does not recognize the Windows programs that had found the new HD, but acknowledges those who is downloaded from the internet.
    I guess there is a problem with the license, Windows was preinstalled on the Toshiba and replace the hard drive could have caused a few conflicts of licensing.

    Stop Windows Update

    In 'My Computer' go to Windows / Software Distribution

    Right-click "DataStore" folder. Rename it to Datastore.old

  • "Configuration of the Windows updates failed. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer"error when you try to install Windows updates

    Original title: problems with updates

    I tried to install windows updates since the store won't let me update to 8.1 otherwise, but I've been miserably lacking 4 days in a row now. Commissioning Windows Update in Control Panel or the charm of parameters found 133 available updates and informs me that they will install automatically. If I then try to install progress remains at "downloading 0 KB", after a while updates are shown as installation. When the installation is completed I'm prompted to restart my pc. After the reboot if I'm greeted by the "Failure configuring Windows updates" screen for about an hour, then I'm able to reconnect to the desktop computer. I've been searching the forums for similar problems looking for an answer and trying different solutions, such as:

    Stop the update service then renaming or deleting the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution. No positive results on this one.

    Using SFC and DISM, first came up with my system is clean, the second did find and fix corrupt elements of store, but the problem persists.

    Download the tool for troubleshooting Windows Update from Microsoft page, who reported finding and repairing problens with service, but again without success.

    Reduce the installed updates at a time, in the instance that Windows can't handle most of the many updates at the same time. I tried this and it seemed to go well, but a strange point of interest that is so annoying is that several edits I checked are installing somehow, even if it is the only example that shows the number of updates being installed before restarting. Yet I always comes to the same conclusion. Failure of Windows updates the screen. What should I do?
