Error 80070020 update failed.

Update security for Windows Vista for x 64-based systems (KB967723)

Don't download
says the error message when I try to install it
and the link that says "get help for this error" does not provide all the answers
What can I do?

There is another thread that seems to have a few discussions around that.  Not specific to this update, but in general this error 80070020:

http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/itprovistaapps/thread/9988b9b7-B4BA-4BA6-8b01-b82fdd980678/

A lot of people have been resolved by disabling the protection in real time for their AV application (BitDefender has been mentioned a bit).

I hope this helps. If you find my answer was what you're looking for, remember to click on the box "mark as answer" below!

  • Winsdows Update Error 80070020 updates yesterday against MS

    This happens only with 975560 KB that is related to MS10-013 and claims to be a critical update.
    All other updates are correctly loaded.
    There is no error message - just the fact stated that this update failed to install after reboot. - because it could be linked to another program at the same time?

    Support center suggests from windows with a clean reboot and it does not work
    It then suggests a reboot in safe mode and it also fails to load the update in question.
    I use the 64 bit version of Windows Vista.
    Since the update is indicated as being critical, that I was wondering if anyone had the same problem or has a solution to load the update. TKS

  • The Microsoft/Windows Update errors and updates failed.

    I just had to make YET ANOTHER Destructive full restore my win Vista PC, regular and continuous errors and problems caused by who knows what and the fact that the system restore never worked once in 10 years of friggin! My PC tries to run Win' Vista (SP2) and all the new updates that are applied after SP2. I also run Norton Internet Security (fully updated). I would like to re - install Office 2007 again once more, but I'm reluctant to until I get an answer to the following problem, because whenever I have re-installed Office 2007 I get Office update errors as well. I do not yet have enough away with this recovery to even think about re - install "other apps" again. My problem is that a heck of a lot more than several updates that were 'available' over time since I bought this pc (which didn't even have SP1 on it when I bought it new), do not have more than several times. Finally, it seems that these updates failed stop appearing as 'available '. Currently failed updates are: IMPORTANT: KB974468; KB2729449; KB2742595; RECOMMENDED: Windows Live Essentails 2001. OPTIONAL: Bing Office 1.3.1. also failed (the current version is 1.3.3...).

    My concern about all these multiple failed updates is that if these updates ARE important, whereas they should, and at the very least, not failed to install the first time which must be installed with success the next time. There are at least 40 + other these updates on my pc (of all types) who failed the first time, but succeeded (according to Windows Update), the second time. After doing a search and try to install these updates above manually from the Microsoft Download Center, I got a response that these updates "are not" or "are blocked by another condition on my computer. What 'State' is probably I wonder? Makes me think anyone or whatever decide an update IS important for a particular system is wrong either (and the update is NOT important at all) and so it does not yet appear in the list of "update available", or it IS important and there is another unknown or error "NO that does NOT exist. preventing the update to be applied. I say no because maybe this unknown error also cites a number of error that is not found by the completely useless online "windows help and support!

    If an update is NOT or is no LONGER available, then why hell is he always recommended! ??? In all cases, "Windows Live Essentials 2011" settles, and looking for 'help' by selecting "get help with this error" I am taken to the "windows help and support" line (which doesn't help at all). That's because this 'aid' shows only 26 'results' and NONE of them include error numbers (800706... and two instances of 66A) city. ANY help will be VERY much appreciated (epecially on the part of MVP, who have been a great help in the past) cordially Andy Bob :) :) :) :)

    Let's start from the beginning.

    Lets first see what happened with your drive.

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    change c:\bootex.log
     
    What is this file exist with something in it?
     
    The following commands query the event logs.
     
    To start verification by using the name of the source for any version of Windows (because it varies).
     
    WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "Autocheck" or sourcename = 'Winlogon' or sourcename = "WinInit") get format:HForm
     
    To run chkdsk in Windows.
     
    WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "Chkdsk") to / format: HForm
     
    For warnings about disk problems detected during normal operations and automatic repairs by Windows at the time where the problems were discovered.
     
    WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "NTFS" or Sourcename = 'Disc') to / format: HForm
     
    Then to view the created file.
     
    Start "" "% userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html"
     

    Copy and paste it here. Again run the commands again after doing the below.

    Then to test the equipment.

    Standard hardware troubleshooting
     
     
    First to test we can the material. Material defects can appear as many software defects, that's why we need to test the material first...
     

    Follow these steps in order. Defects of memory can cause disk corruption, disk failures can cause corruption of the disk. Damaged disc causes corrupted files (which SFC may be able to fix). If you get a stop error and after return. Do not run chkdsk with faulty memory.

     
    Diagnosis of memory
    If you have not run a diagnosis of memory, please do. Click on Start - Control Panel - choose Classic view in the left pane - choose Administrative Tools - then memory diagnostic tool.
     

    S.M.A.R.T
    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    Disk in Windows drives monitor for impending failure. The function is called S.M.A.R.T. It detects an imminent failure, 30% of the time. In a type elevated command prompt (it's a single line)
     
    WMIC PATH MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus /namespace:\\root\wmi get active, predictfailure, reason List
     
    If it is on will be true, otherwise on enable in the BIOS of the computer.
     
    Predict the failure must be False if everything is ok.
     
    In Vista and later if SMART failure predicted Windows prompts the user to run the backup.
     
    Run chkdsk
    In computer all your drives right click and choose Properties, then the Tools tab, and then click check now. Check the TWO boxes and then start. Reset. This will take from one day to the next.

     
    SFC
    Check the alteration of the file by clicking on Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    sfc/scannow
     
    Heat
    Heat can lead to problems of this kind, and sudden restarts without crashing. Make sure that your fans are not clogged with dust.
     
    For memory diagnostic results
    Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane), select Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look in the event (Local) - Applications and Services - Microsoft - Windows - MemoryDiagnostic-results Viewer entered.
     
    Look for EventID is 1201 or 1101 and Source is MemoryDiagnostic-results

     
    Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.

    For results of Chkdsk
     
    You can ignore this if you performed the first series of commands again.
     

    Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane) choose Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look at the Application and the System will connect (under Windows logs) for entries.
     
    Look for EventID is 7 and Source disk
    Look for EventID is 11 and the Source disk
    Look for EventID is 50 , and the Source is disk
    Look for EventID is 51 and Source disk
    Look for EventID is 52 and Source disk

    Look for EventID 55 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID is 130 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID is 134 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID is 137 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Autochk
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Winlogon
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is WinInit
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Chkdsk
    Look for EventID is 26212 and Source is Chkdsk
    Look for EventID 26213 and Source is Chkdsk

    Look for EventID 26214 and Source is Chkdsk
    Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.
     
    PS 7 and 55 are auto repair codes where windows repair disk errors silently on the fly. 52 is the SMART warning.
     
    If the results are transferred to the startup time events logs chkdsk, then the results are probably in the following file c:\Bootex.log. This file is removed when the results are placed in the event logs.

     
    For the results of the SFC
    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    findstr/c: "[SR] cannot" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more "
     
    It will be able to see which files are corrupted.
     
    To see if there
     
    findstr/c: "[SR] repair" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more

     
    There are often false positives for small text files that Windows uses like settings.ini and desktop.ini. Ignore these.
     
     
    You say that you have had continuous problems. But if you want to jump the gun to fire a bit.
     

    More details about the error

    To decode 0 x 80070002. X 0 means that it is a hexadecimal number, 8 , error, the first 7 means it a windows error and the rest of Eastern 2, the number, the Windows error.
     
    To search for the error message we need to decimal format. Start the Calculator (Start - All Programs - Accessories - calculator) and choose the menu display - scientific, then the menu display - Hex. Enter 2 Menu display - decimal. It will say 2.
     
    Start an command prompt (Start - All Programs - Accessories - command prompt) and type
     
    net helpmsg 2
     
    and it will say
     
    The system cannot find the specified file.
     
    Use Notepad to search for FATAL and and the specific error code (for example, 80070002) in C:\Windows\Windowsupdate.log.
     
    Windows errors (smallish numbers) and COM HRESULT values (in general, but with exceptions, start with an 8 as 0 x 80040154) are defined in WinError.h, except 8007nnnn where you are looking for the error Window number it contains.
     
    As a general rule, Windows errors are less than 65 535 (0xFFFF). Errors from 0 x 80000001 are HResults Component Object Model (COM). Errors from 0 xC0000001 NTStatus results.
     
    NTStatus errors (usually, but not always to start with a C as 0xC0000022) are defined in NTStatus.h.
     
    the .h files are the best source because it includes the symbolic name of the error that can give clues such as the source of the error
    . FormatMessage does not have the symbolic name as the description.
     
    You get these files by downloading the kit of Development Platform (that's gigabytes)
     
    If you just want the two files I have them on my skydrive so I can reference anywhere I want.

  • DMA2100 - with error "network error" firmware update fails

    I have a DMA2100 with firmware 1.1.0.

    I use 802.11n Wi - Fi connection.

    The DMA2100 connects to the Media Center of Vista computer and has access to the internet streaming media, so I know the network endeavours of the DMA2100. What is frustrating is I can't update the firmware, it takes about 1 minute and then I get a message saying there is a network error, error. I can't figure out why.

    Any ideas?

    I hope the new firmware will allow me to play all divx file and not only some Divx files.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi DragonFather,

    I've previously read online that the Wireless does not update the firmware if you have enabled encryption.  The short answer is to change to wired in the DMA2100 and then connect it via a wired ethernet connection.

    Regarding playback of divx/xvid files, I have the DMA2200 with 1.1.0 firmware (I think I need an update too).  I was able to play almost all the files I throw at it.  The only problem is when a file is encoded in Xvid, but the FourCC information are something other than Xvid announcement, DMA does not understand how to play, even if windows can.  Once I have change this information to "xvid" file works perfectly! The program to change it's Avic100 (it's name, I'm at work right now so feel free to correct me), so have a search on google for it and see if that helps.

    Try it and tell me how it works for you!

    Good luck

  • Updates Windows has been stuck in a loop and had error message update failed, when he restored it deleted my office 2013 at home and students.

    I have the Microsoft product identifier. How can I download it turn it on for my Lenovo thinkpad?

    Hello Tina,

    Thank you for the update.

    As you said that you run refresh and reset the computer this is the reason why the Microsoft Office application that you have installed has been removed after completing the refresh as the applications that came with your PC or you installed on Windows Store will be reinstalled automatically, but all the apps you have installed other Web sites and DVD is deleted. Windows puts a list of applications on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

    After reset, all of your personal files will be deleted and your settings will be reset. All the apps the East came with your PC will be reinstalled, but other applications or programs will be removed.

    So, you will need to reinstall the office application and see if that helps.

    Hope this information helps. Otherwise, feel free to write us again for more assistance, and we will be happy to help you come.

  • Cannot install windows update, error: 80070020

    Original title: 5 updates Windows do not install KB2507938 KB2532531 KB2555917 KB2533623 KB905866

    Since 13 July, Windows Update suggested I have install these updates.  I agreed and they are then downloaded and installed... or so I think.  When I turned off my computer at night, the updates fail and say they will try again the next day.  This happened every day since.  They simply won't be installed and code Error 80070020.  I checked and my Windows Vista Home Premium installed Service Pack 2.  Any help would be appreciated!

    All the best,
    Mary
