Can't get updates microsoft or windows on my computer

I'm having a problem with Microsoft updates.  I can't download or update.  I have recently upgraded from Windows XP Home Edition to Professional that includes Service Pack 2, but when I check, my system doesn't show downloaded Service Pack 2.  I can't access the site to update even if I have my computer set for automatic updates from Microsoft.  I can't download smart updates for my Spyware Doctor either.

Right-click on my computer and select properties: Windows version which is displayed on the general tab that results (for example, Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1;) Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2)?

What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer because you have installed Windows XP Professional?

    Hello

    Please contact the Microsoft community.

    As you said that you are not able to get new updates of windows on the computer.

    I would like to ask some questions about your request:

    1. When was the last time that you install the windows desktop update?

    2. You receive an error message from the updates?

    3. You use any third-party antivirus on the computer?

    4. Did you do any change on your computer before the show?

    Please refer to the reference to the link below for " " " The problems with installing updates".

  • I can't get updates since SP2 installation and update of the Windows Update Agent.

    I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I have done 3 installs clean for several days and each time I install SP2 and update the Windows Update Agent I can't get updates.  When I click search for updates, it just keeps looking for hours and hours and never stops looking.  I tried several solutions on the internet, including those found here.  Of course, the first thing I did was run the Fixit of Windows Update tool.  He could not solve any problems found.  He gave the error code 0 x 80070005.  I installed the SubInAcl.exe and run several different command text and a text of the batch.  The batch text did nothing.  The texts of order had errors of syntax and a file, he could not access.  I ran the System File Checker, and it finds errors, it could not fix.  I just did a clean install on this machine 6 or 8 months ago because I was going to get rid of the computer, so when I put in place I used the username user.  I came across no problem at all when I installed the operating system and update everything.  Since then, I decided to keep the computer, so I wanted to have it in my name.  As I said, this is my 3rd try.  I am willing to give.  Maybe someone here can help.

    I tried two clean installs and I get the same thing.  Once I have installed SP2 and the new Agent update, I can't get more updates.  It keeps only the search for hours without results or error messages.  I tried all of the suggestions I found on the internet, but nothing works.  I get always the same error code 0x80070005, when I run the Fixit of Windows Update tool.  There must be a way to solve this problem.  Why I was able to do a clean install of 6 or 8 months without any problems, but now I can't.  It makes no sense at all.  I really hope someone who knows the answer reads this.

    Ralph C.

    I finally got it!  I tried two other proposed solutions, then I ran the System File Checker, which is no problem, then I ran Check Disk.  Check disk found and repaired files in the file system of BITS among others.  After that, I'm now completely up to date with Windows Update.  I was ready to give up.  I'm glad I did not.  For anyone else having similar problems, don't give up, the answer is there.

  • How can I get rid of 10 Windows bothering me?

    I don't want Windows 10. Since December 17 I can't get updates for Windows 7!  All I get is the upgrade to Windows 10.  I hid it, but he still insists on stalking me.

    I have Windows 7 and you want to keep and wish Microsoft would honor my decision and leave me alone. They do not make the updates for Windows 7 more and FORCE us to upgrade?

    I don't want to update accidentally something that puts 10 Windows on my computer.  Why they push it continuously when a person doesn't?

    Thanks for any help here!

    Take a look at the Control Panel of GWX

    GWX Control Panel is a free program that allows you to perform the following operations on Windows 7 and Windows 8:

    • Remove the 'Get Windows 10' icon that appears in your notification area.
    • Your Windows Update control panel stop upgrading your computer to Windows 10.
    • Prevent your computer from downloading secretly Windows 10 installation files.
    • Detect and remove hidden Windows 10 installation files if they are already on your PC.
    • Eventually, monitor your computer for files and settings Windows 10 unwanted. (New in version 1.6).

    GWX Panel really works, is safe and easy to use, and gives you the opportunity to reactivate the icon and update notifications if you are always willing to go forward with Windows 10.

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

    FWIW: Usually Windows updates are released on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Next ordinary sense 'Patchday' would be January 12, 2016.

    Where is Snipping Tool? If deleted accidentally, how can I get a copy for Windows Vista?

    Hello Bob w. NY

    Click on the Start button and type capture in the search box menu star. The cutting tool application should appear at the top of the search results.

    As the cutting tool is an integral part of Windows, you might have to reinstall windows to return to the tool. Assuming, of course, you had accidentally deleted.
