  Description of the problem: same problem on the computer desktop and laptop at the same time began: cannot install Windows updates (has no status)

  No hardware changes or software recently made to the system: I followed the usual procedure to install Windows updates.

  Method of connection: wireless

  Technical expertise: intermediate level

  Performed troubleshooting: because the error # 80071 A 90 type indicated by the system, I followed the instructions of Windows Help and Support, for example to run Microsoft Fix it which did not work; a more advanced method has also been used, who recommended to start Windows Update in Mode safe, then open Windows Update and install the updates and then restart normally. At this point, the problem was that any stage of Windows Update was available.

It's always trouble.

  Should I turn off my Anti virus software is what could be stopping my updates? some sites would sugest that I use Kaspersky 2012, if that's the case, then why do all my other programs that are installed to date OK?

  Hello

  Check your level of service current pack...

  • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
  • Examine what is listed in the system: section

  If there is no service pack designated first level you must download SP2 from...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=28

  .. .and then run the downloaded program to install SP2.

  Once you have done this, or if you were already in service pack 1, 1a or 2, then install SP3 by downloading and running from...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

  For both of the above, you can ignore the text that says it's for network installations and also ignore the text advising windows/microsoft update if a single update of a PC.

  So try and get up-to-date with the Windows updates.
