  • Cannot use the system update with WIndows 7 SP 1 for UN-installing IE11 - impossible to re - install IE11!

    I have the day together system prompt before downloading and installing. When I had the time of who is running the last invite nothing would install and ' check for updates ' stopped working. The two move to a phase of 'work' but is not progressing.

    Search through this forum, I came to management may be incorrect which previously uninstall IE 11 must be the origin of the problem (System Troubleshooting update does not provide a solution) but when I download and try to re - install manually, it says that IE 11 cannot be installed as a more up-to-date version is already installed.

    He's not... Although a folder "internet explore" is always present; the ieinstal.exe is non-responsive (even when run as administrator) and I can't delete the folder because:

    "You need permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this file.

    I don't have a point system before uninstalling IE 11 of restoration and we tried disabling my AV during execution of update of the system, for the moment I'll have to find and manually install the security updates, which is a tedious exercise.

    Someone has encountered this problem, and more importantly have a solution?

    My apologies if I missed the answer elsewhere and thank you in advance for any help.

    IE is not uninstalled or reinstalled unless you have a version of Windows N/K/KN, these have been sold in Europe and Korea.  It is a component of Windows Basic.

    Check your edition of Windows in the Control Panel, System.  There K/N/KN after the name of the [Home premium etc] edition?

    If this is not the case then you have a standard version and you can unload or reload IE to

    Control Panel,

    View by - small icons

    Programs & features,

    Turn on or off Windows features

    Set / uncheck the box next to Internet Explore [for reload / unload],.

    Ok

    Ok

    It will make you then restart the computer for the change to take effect.

    How did you "Uninstall" IE?  It is possible that this Act has damaged the system.

    scrubie,
    If you go to programs and features, and then on the left side you should see a link for "Daily display installed."  Which would then show the list of updates with the State which will show you if it failed or not.

  • Cannot download the app updates nor new apps

    Hello, I have a day of original launch Palm Pre (Sprint).  All settings are always the factory settings, and I did no changes (preware, homebrew apps, etc.). Starting from 02/05/10, I am unable to download the app updates but also to download new applications. Download status/progress indicator appears, but never made any real progress even let it sit overnite.  I have both a strong WiFi connection & EV, so there should not be a connectivity issue.  I deleted files suggest that there may be a problem of space/memory (music removed files and delete many rarely used applications) and restarted the phone several times but not joy.

    Someone else knows it?  Is this a known issue?  Can anyone recommend a fix for this problem purdy please?

    Thanks for any help in advance!

    I love my Sprint pre!  I look forward to the next generation of WebOS phones for the Sprint network.

    @cujoq37:

    If you have restarted your device and are unable to download the updates, I would recommend a partial erasure. This will make you sign in your profile and you should be able to download the updates right here.

    Alternatively, if you are currently on any lower software version 1.3.51, you may consider to download the webOS Doctor from our Web site at www.palm.com/rom . This is because some customers have reported enforcement problems after ignoring several updates. Others have no problem with updates like this to jump.

    Either of these solutions, you will have to 1.4.1.1, and when you register in your profile, contacts and other PIM data will restore your device.

    Hope this helps,

  • Failure of the security update for Windows xp

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    , Then they have all the same numbers but automatic updates. I do not know why they do not?  Is my computer in danger? What someone knows something about it?  Can someone let me know, I would really appreciate it.  Thank you :)

    Lower-right, now, I get an exclamation icon, when I click on it, it lets me know that I have updates to install, it goes through the whole procedure, but he then shows how they all failed.  Just today, I had 18 of them.  They are all updated for Windows XP security they all begin with (KB) other numbers are all different. (KB978601), (KB979683), (KB978338), (KB979309), (KB981332), (KB977816), (KB980232) Microsoft Update.

    I would try reinstalling Windows Update Agent Installer first.  Here is a link to the Microsoft site that explains how to do this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949104.   Go to the section how to get the last update agent, as it is already installed.  Scroll down to the section under the information tab, called Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Service Pack 4.    Choose the one that fits your computer (x 86, x 64, Itanium).  Run this update and follow the instructions.  Windows Update will now be reinstalled, but it's a good idea to restart at this point.  Check if your updates to install.

    Otherwise, you may need to install manually by following the directions below:

    (1) Download Center to visit Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
    (2) search for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB979309)
    3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run. You must accept the agreement and then click on continue.
    (4) repeat this process for each download of updates Windows could not install.
    (5) run Microsoft update again, and click Find updates.  If all goes well, it will show that you are completely patched.

    It is always better to stay completely patched, as many of them are security-related.  If the solutions above do not work for you, I recommend that you run a full scan on your computer.

  • Windows XP svchost.exe problems. Cannot find the latest updates for windows xp.

    Hello, this is my first time on the Microsoft Community page.

    I have a very strange problem with automatic updates svchost.exe and windows. I know that automatic update of windows, has been known to cause problems on XP and there is thus CPU utilization of memory leaks. Last night, I tried to install the latest windows XP updates, with automatic tool. The tool hanged during the process. Not sure why exactly. I never had a problem with it. I've been running Xp SP 3 for more than five years. In any case, I rebooted my system and checked to see if the updates actually treatment. They do not have. Then I went to the windowsupdate.microsoft site. I was trying to these updates. The scan never completed, he just constantly checked, for about 45 minutes. I decided to do some research. I found the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder "fix" online. He kicked, I renamed the file. And then disabled auto updates and restarted my computer. After windows starts, I re-activated automatic updates and waited. Nothing happened, so I did some research more. I noticed that svchost.exe uses about 25% the use of the processor. Normally my treated systemidle is 99%. I used Process explore and isolated the wuauclt.exe under the svchost.exe file. When I disable automatic updates executable, it is up to a full 99%.

    I'm not sure why it uses 25%, when I look at the actual use of the memory for the wuauclt.exe, it is only using about 17 k of memory. Which is quite low. I have not turned on microsoft update, starting in the configurations of parameters at windowsupdate. I know that in the past, that has been a problem and swallowed up system resources.

    Any advice would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

    There are a lot of threads on this forum - and many others - this problem - just try to do a Google search for UPDATES of XP SVCHOST - hits now more than 8 million.

    But to save you the trouble of tracking down the fix OK here is the short version

    1. disable automatic updates using Control Panel icon

    2. restart the computer - SVCHOST is now not going crazy

    3. check which version of Internet Explorer you have installed IE8, IE7 or IE6

    4. download and install - the links below - the good update for Internet Explorer.

    Assuming you have Windows XP 32 bits here are the direct download links:

    IE8: IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41404

    IE7: IE7-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41442

    IE6: WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41458

    5. Once installed, you can reactivate the automatic updates and using Windows Update.

    Note: The bug also affects access via Windows/Microsoft Update Web site.

    KB2898785 is the "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer" (December 10, 2013)

    There is a bug in the function of automatic update under XP running the SVCHOST process at full CPU load (100% or 50% or 25% depending on the number of CPU cores you have). If you have a Quad core CPU the bug works the CPU at 25% (a carrot out of four) and eventually battles through a conclusion - but if your computer is a single old Celeron or Pentium bug works the CPU chip at 100% load for many, many h/solid.

    Faster your processor and RAM than you seem to make a radical difference to the actual times are waiting for you maybe search for updates complete. Most of the old core systems were never designed to deal with this kind of situation and can easily overheat. This is especially true of laptops and desktop systems older where the radiator can be partially blocked with fluff and hairs of animals - which could cause blockages or stops!

    Microsoft said last month that the updates of Internet Explorer are treated differently from all the other updates - which is originally the XP update engine run so slowly as to appear frozen. If the update service finds that you don't have the latest version of IE that is currently available, it starts to search the entire tree of updates of IE to see what it takes - rather than offering just the cumulative current update for your system.

    But if you manually install the update yourself update Internet Explorer service is fully updated and is not search for updates of IE. But until Ms. fix it will still occur whenever a new update is published.

    MS said that intend to prune the IE updates database so that only the main cumulative updates have been offered when a search has been launched - it did not in time for the update as it should of November and obviously has not arrived or worked either in time for the December Update!

    MS say they hope to have a fix before the January updates are released (Patch Tuesday) - that the problem will be activated once the next update Cumulative of IE is released.
