Do not download the updates of Windows

Hello.

No Windows Update went through for my laptop - a Dell Inspiron - since June.

He uses Windows 7, Intel Celeron CPU, 64-bit operating system.

Everything seems to have slowed dramatically.  Running a virus checker/CCleaner/malware cleaner etc all take forever.  As does the search for updates.   (It checks that I type and done so for the past half an hour.)

I did, at this stage - yesterday - to reach a point where I was told that I had 1 updated 6 optional updates and important.  Which does not seem much since June.  When I tried to download, nothing happened.

I have trouble shooted and run virus/malware ladies etc - but nothing came.

I'm not very technologically minded, but if there is a simple solution, I would be very grateful.

Thank you in advance if you can help me.

The value of the automatic updates to "never check updates" and then restart Windows. Then, install KB3172605.

    ========================================
    I was wondering... you are totally unable to download the file
    on your hard drive? Or... you can download the file to your hard drive
    by car, but simply cannot display it?

    If you right click the executable for Windows Media Player and
    in the menu choose... Properties / Compatibility tab is...
    Windows 95, chosen for Compatibility Mode? If_Yes_try
    unchecking the box / apply / OK.

  • I was not able to download the updates of Windows XP

    I have a dell machine running xp / sp3 who has started having failures to download or install updates may 9.  Since then he has not installed updates even if it is set to do so all night at 04:00.  It is also doing the same thing on the other computer desk in the small office LAN we have running off a verizon for DSL router.  Chess began the same night, May 9.  Here to install updates from the windows update page also failed.  I ran the utility 'Difficulty now' from microsoft, and it has not fixed the problem.

    Thanks in advance for your help to solve this problem.

    Original title: I was not able to download the updates of Windows XP since May 9. Downloads keep failing.

    If you have been playing around with the settings, you'd be wise to resinstall.  All that are "machine accounts" which are automatically defined by the system to the evolution of random passwords.  If you have accounts of changes of ntauthority to other accounts, you perhaps weakened the security level of the operating system.

    No it's not a portal, that even Microsoft doesn't know what are these passwords.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2497281

    You may be unable to access the Windows Update site...

    You must be at the level of Service Pack 3 before you can use Windows updates.

    To determine which service pack is currently installed on your computer, follow these steps:

    1. Click Startand then click run.
    2. Copy and paste, or type the following command, and then click OK:
      winver

      A dialog box displays the version of Windows and the service pack that is currently installed on your computer.

    If you haven't already done so, you will need to install the SP2 and SP3 (SP1 note no longer exists).

    @ Evanston only!...

    You see the effects of a hijackware infection! If you had used the computer longer, I might recommend trying to detect & remove infections. But it would probably take a week or two and I'm sure you have better to do with your time right now so I would recommend the following (which shouldn't take any more than two hours of uninterrupted time).

    See...

    Cleaning a compromised system
         http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

    HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation and formatting the hard drive option" (or "reinstall it Windows 7") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7 article

    NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

    After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

    VERY IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool again Norton before installing updates AND BEFORE installing your new application antivirus (for example, Avast5 or Microsoft Security Essentials, free).

    Tip: Do not install Spybot again; It's really overkill in Win7 my humble OPINION, especially if you are installing Microsoft Security Essentials.

  • Can not download the update rollup 7 for System Center R2 2012 - Data Protection Manager (KB3065246)

    Microsoft has released a patch missed for DPM in July that breaks the ability of DPM to remove older restore points. My server is invaded by the recovery points and I would like to address them. Failed to remove the bad fix, update rollup 7 for SC DPM, in Add/Remove programs. The new version of the patch does not appear in Windows Update, probably because she sees that the wrong version is here.

    The only place where I can find to download the update rollup 7 fixed is here:

    http://catalog.update.Microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=3065246

    The download site does not at all on Microsoft Edge, Chrome or Firefox. On I.E. I can see the "basket" link, but it still errors out before presenting a download.

    By clicking on 'help' on this page provides a link to send a mail to * address email is removed from the privacy * which gives a failure of discount if nondelivery report send you it.

    By clicking 'Send a problem' report also channels to the community, not a problem of any kind report form.

    So, I'm here. Ask a question about a product in Windows Server, Windows Server is not not a choice of versions of Windows in the form below.

    If anyone from Microsoft is reading, correct the download site or give me another way to download it, thanks.

    Turn on "Compatibility view" for microsoft.com allowed the download button to appear and I was able to get the file. Looks like a clear indication that this site is updated you need to demote your browsing session to get even to function.
