Cannot install the available WIndows updates

I have the same 4 optional windows updates available almost every other day.  When I try to install them, they do not install.  But when I restart my computer that they do not appear in the 'available' but sometimes appear as 'failure' or 'successful '?  What does that mean?  Thank you!

Original title: Windows updates

So, what I finally ended up doing, is that I found a link in support of Microsoft 'Automatically reset the Windows Update components' and then scrolled down and clicked on the link that match my operating system and ran the "fix."  So I uninstalled the drivers who were involved.  Then I restarted my computer, the computer finds the drivers and when I went to double check for Windows updates, optional updates in question do not appear yet.  The Synaptics driver I had downloaded originally he had been incorrect he updated a Synaptics driver but it was different than the one I installed initially.

So, long story short... In my view, this "fix" did fix my updates of Windows as so far, so good.

    Hi Eugene,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    3. What is the number of KB of the update, after which the internet disconnects?

    [To view your history of update:]
    a. Open Windows Update by sliding into the right edge of the screen (or, if you are using a mouse, pointing to the corner bottom right of the screen, move the mouse upward), touching or clicking on parameters, typing or clicking on Change PC, then type or by clicking on update and recovery.
    [ b. press or click on see your update history.]

    The question could arise if the specific update makes changes in the Windows network properties and the update package has been damaged. Other important reasons include the firewall from the security software, third-party software conflicts etc.

    In order to diagnose the problem, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Method 1: Troubleshooting of connection Internet run.

  • Cannot access internet after installing the latest Windows Update

    * Original title: Question access to the internet after you have installed the latest update

    Last week, I installed the latest update of Windows 8, however once installed, I was no longer able to access the internet and became a message saying that the page cannot be displayed. Below it there is a button to click to solve the problem of connection but I did and it came back with no connection problem.

    I reset my router, but there was no question that I could access the internet on my phone and my roommates laptop. The only way that I could access the internet again was to restore my pc and remove install.

    I was then forced to install the update tonight and it's the same thing so I had to uninstall these updates again to access the internet.

  • Windows installed the automatic windows update agent and I would appreciate help with the settings option in this newly installed agent update so no update never install or download unless I choose to do.

    Hello.

    I have windows vista 32 bit home edition.

    Today somehow automatically installed windows ' automatic update agent 747600226

    I always keep my settings to check the updates but let me choose whether to update or install.

    With this new "update automatic agent" which automatically installed on my system, I want to make sure I have place it properly so that it remains in the same way that I always have my settings but two settings (options), he checked, and are confusing for me to know what those checked settings will do.

    I would like to help you with these settings to make sure that the update is still as I want.

    Below chose correctly when the new program installed today.  That's how I still want the settings to be:

    Look for updates but let me choose whether to update or install

    Please let me know if I need to change all the options account required in addition to this update agent to ensure that only, I choose to update or install.

    There are four options and a box is in two and I don't know if I should remove the check marks or not.

    Here are the other four options that I need to know how to configure it so that only I have update/install.

    Once again, the download automatic microsoft today (update automatic agent 7.4.7600.226) without asking for my incentive preset automatic update options and that's what I'm trying to make sure is set correctly so that nothing installs or updates without asking me or let me do.

    Option 1: (this option is checked. If I leave it checked will be it install or warn me only?)

    Give me updates recommended in the way I receive important updates.

    Option 2: (this is not checked and am not worried about this one)

    Allow all users to use installed on this pc.

    Option 3:
    (this is checked and want to know if should uncheck; what I don't want is any what to auto install, but the wording of this option and option 1 are vague because of the "give me " so I don't know what it means or will do.)  If this box is left to it automatically update/install?)

    Give me updates for Microsoft products and looking for new optional microsoft software when I update windows

    Option #4 (this is not checked, and I am not concerned about this).

    See the notification me detailed when new microsoft software is available.

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Take care! :)

    Hello

    The Windows Update automatically updates the updater (himself), regardless of your settings.

    1. Yes it will alert you so you can update or install.

    2. check if you need more of yourself (other users) to be able to select and install the updates.

    3. it will let you know when they become available.

    4. just gives the news of additional details about some of the updates.

    Looks like you're ready for anything you like.

  • Desire x 2 cannot install the new Windows 8

    Hello, my desire X 2 8 windows came preinstalled W8 32 bit edition.

    I'm trying to install Windows 8 Enterprise 64 edition to my desire X 2 b. I have my ISO file in DVD and USB, but when I boot to install, selecting DVD or USB before the HARD drive in the boot order, nothing happens and standard windows HARD disk starts. I try to choose my DVD or USB EFI but I do not see, I do something wrong? I know the USB and DVD is ok because I can install a folio 13 by applying the same USB without problem...

    Would it because they are 64 b W8? Is there a limitation in envy and only 32 b editions can be installed?

    Any idea?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Vidya, thanks for your help. I used the download tool to create DVD and USB key. I still don't know why I can't install the USBs. I tried three different principles. None of them works.

    I created the media tools for recovering the W8 installed to a USB and this way that I boot BIOS and I DO not see the boot USB and the cab with him. If something happens when you create the USB support, the BIOS don't like them.

    But I managed to this editing Finally today. I disabled options in the BIOS (with USB power for charmge mobile while shutdown or Hibernate) USB charge and I don't know if it was the key or not, but today I was able to see the DV from the BIOS (a new device appears in the F9 options) and start it, I have a W8 PRO 64 bit installation , and it works. BUT I do ' t recommend it to everyone: no driver is available for 64-bit versions, and it seems that 32B drivers does not work on 64 edition b.

    After that, I installed the DVD edition 32B with a few problems because the drivers are not included and keyboard, mouse, touch screen, etc does not work, then everything first, you must install the chipset driver Intel webpage hp, after that, everything that start working.

    I'm going to mark it as resolved, for future reference of others with a desire to X 2. If someone of you has managed W8 Pro 64B installation please let me know!

    It also takes a long extra time to get the Explorer running

    What happened during the update may cause this extra on drag

    Is your system error free?

    Event Viewer reports

    1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

    2 Event Viewer includes three main newspapers of Windows. Here's the Application, security, and system. For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

    3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

    4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Click the copy button to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

    6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

    7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.
