• Necessary fix for "Code 646 Windows Update engaged an unknown error"

  'Important' not installing in Windows Update downloads.  There is a small shield with a icon! on my sleep button, which indicates that the updates will be installed, but sometimes they will not be installed.  Since they are marked important, even if they are in the programs that I never use, do I need to worry?  The message reads: "Code 646 Windows Update committed an unknown error" and has a link "help with this error", but still, it does not install.

  Someone out there has a fix for this?

  Thank you

• Code 8E5E0147 Windows Update encountered an unknown error

  Hello

  
  

  Vista has got an automatic update every day for a few days ago but every time the update starts finally fails with this error: "'Code 8E5E0147 Windows Update encountered an unknown error" "

  
  

  What should I do? Vista Help did not help at all. I got the same error.

  
  

  Thank you.

  suiobo,
  Go to Microsoft's download page and select the download appropriate for your operating system, then save it on your PC.  Then, run the update from your PC and see if it will install manually.  If you still have the error and then perform a clean boot and test again.  Let us know the results.
