• Windows 7 could not search for new updates code error C80003FA

  I just activated Windows 7. When I tried to update, I have "Windows 7 could not search for new updates C80003FA error code".

  Tried three times with the same result. Could someone, please?

  C80003FA ReadVerifyFailure - a read verification error occurred.

  1. What is the suite of security/antivirus installed?
  2 is a 3rd party firewall installed?
  3 - is an upgrade to another edition of Windows?

  Please click on the round of departure. In the search field type programs and files in wups2.dll

  Under programs right click wups2.dll and choose Properties, when the Properties window opens, click the Details tab.
  Version of the file and the product should be showing 7.4.7600.226
  Now do the same for c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll
  He, too, should show file version and product like 7.4.7600.226
   
  If the version is earlier than that, you will need to install the more recent Version of the Windows Update Agent.
  The easiest way to do this is therefore download and Save the Fixit found here - How to reset the Windows Update components?
  Once the download completes close all open programs and browsers.
  Run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose its default mode.

  BUT, if the installed firewall antivirus/security suite or a 3rd party is causing the "reading check error" then the Fixit may/does not work.
  If this is the case, then Configure the system to boot after download and Save the Fixit.
  Then, run the Fixit after the reboot to clean boot state.
  Restart and Cancel the clean boot steps, restart again to normal Windows mode.
  
  NOTE: in the boot minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. When you run the Fixit either unplug the system from it is the network connection or make sure the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on by opening the control panel > Windows Firewall.
