  When I start my computer I get a message at the bottom right, saying "Windows cannot check for updates.

  Temporarily disable the security software on the computer and see if that makes a difference.

• Error code 80070005 when trying to update Windows using Windows 7 Home Premium

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, upgrade from Vista on a Sony Vaio VGN-FW350D. The upgrade was promotional as part of the purchase of the laptop in the Canada.

  I had no other pressing issues which have not been resolved. IHAVE run the built-in Windows based Registry Cleaner (like a cleaner 'free') and the dreagmenter of disk as part of the troubleshooting process.

  I have tried everything I can find on the setting of the following problem:

  When trying to update Windows (ie. Download updates of security or Microsoft security patches, etc.), the following is displayed: "Windows could not search for new updates - an error occurred when searching for new updates for your...» Code 80070005. It gives you the 'Try Again' button, but who does not work either.

  Also, after running in a Fixit 'Microsoft' by default and aggressive modes, change my registration to God knows what state by applying other methods proposed CIHI, now when I try an update of Windows, the "last check for updates '"and updates have been installed"the both indicate '' never. '' BTW, I have the restore points before you make these changes, so no worries there.

  I would like to point out that, as far as I know, this problem has persisted since January 1, 2011, when I downloaded and installed Microsoft Security Essentials, which would not update or another. Before installing MS Security Essentials, I ran Avast, I have re-installed after removing Ms Sec Ess.

  In short, Windows update does not work, giving Code 80070005. Can anyone help solve this problem with me? Thank you...

  c. right-click on the connection of the administrator, and then click Properties, and then remove that checking the account is disabled.

  Now, restart the computer and log on to the administrator account and try to update again.

  Step 2:

  You could disable your anti-virue and malware/spyware protection temporarily to see if they are contradictory with the update.

  Summary of the issue:

  We are aware of a potential problem that you may experience with the latest updates to Office security.   When you install these updates, the Windows Update control panel returns the error 646 or 0 x 80070646.

  Technical details:

  Error 0 x 80070646 or 646 is a MSI installer error that won't happen when the updates are installed via the Windows Update control panel.  Workaround solution previous to solve the immediate problem requires the installation of the update to a standalone package starting from Microsoft Download Center.  We do not recommend this workaround solution.

  If the Windows Installer logging is enabled, the following line must be identified as a symptom:

  Error 1606. Could access the location %APPDATA%\ network

   

  Cause:

  The problem is potentially a result of an incompatible, incorrect environment (%AppData%) as variable shown below:

  Solution:

  1. open the registry editor.  To do this, click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit.exe in the list programs. In the user account control dialog box, click on continue.

  2 go to the following registryHKEY_USERS\ keys. DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

   

  3. the correct and should be the default value forAppData % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming. To edit the value, double click on Appdata, then change the string in the value data field.

  4. close the registry editor, and then try Windows Update again. (A restart article be required).

  5. If the problem persists, repeat the steps 2 to 4 with the registry keys:

  ·        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\

  ·        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\

• I get the error code 5 when I try to start the Windows Firewall

  Original title: Windows 7 x 64 firewall won't start, tried everything

  Hi, ive tried enough what was described in the first 10 pages google search, but I cannot get rid of the known problem of firewalls

  For me, this is the error code 5.

  As soon as I try to start it manually, it says cannot be started.... error code 5.
  I did a system win7 files repair, I did a reset of network, I tried about 30 different commands to display information about the firewall service, ive checked the firewall authority loading driver, I gave permission to complete firewall of all registry directories described, ive created entirely new firewall rules 1:1 to the default ones, ive checked other 'ordinary' process runs in the firewall service and and and.

  NOTHING helped me.

  Others facing this problem actually get another error for the first code after a few solutions, they also face the "error code 5.
  Oh yes, I also tried the microsoft firewall tool.
  He says theres a problem with the firewall, but can not solve.

  I never had no infection or OneCare / 3rd Personal Firewall running.

  And because I can't deal with that firewall, I also can not use transferred ports - which is terrible bad since im was the owner of a local game server.
  But that happened in ive faced the problem as it was half a year ago. And I can't be solved without format my drive.

  Because you guys are part of Microsoft personnel - and has got the possibility to contact the developers - why cant you just create a firewall package with latest updates that crushes real files/settings in order to solve problems that are found by your own tool?

  Its a shame, I hope that you can offer me new solution :(

  -You are using a third-party firewall software?
  At no time.

  Was there the recent changes on your computer before the show?
  No, not at the time the problem occurred, also not 1-2 weeks before.

  Method 1:
  Returns the error Code 5, as I indicated in my problem

  Method 2:
  Tried 2 - 3 times yesterday, , everything including the Microsoft Tool to automatically fix problems.

  Method 3:
  I've done a complete check-up and recover system, no modified files files have been found.

  Also, the batch file to start/restar services:
  SC config start = auto MpsSvc - success
  SC config start = auto KeyIso - success
  BFE sc config = auto start - success
  SC config start = auto FwcAgent - fail ' [SC] OpenService error 1060 - service is not installed.

  net stop MpsSvc - Service not started
  net start MpsSvc - cannot be started - error Code 5

  the rest - success, but still, the firewall service does not.

  Seems that the firewall service or part of it gots uninstalled something?
  Perhaps in the case of update?

  Also I can't find no "FwcAgent" file in my system drive while showing the system hidden files and folders.

  I guess that's NORMAL given that verification of files windows did not find any changes.
  Theres no light at the end? Really?

  Moreover, the hotline also could not help (and you get his terrible btw, managed a total noob). The suggestions here are much "deeper", still nothing worked again.

  --------------------------------------------->
  EDIT:
  Looking around the means how to re - install the firewall component windows I found another unofficial repair tool.

  It fits quite all associated in any way with the security settings and firewall components, as it recreates all the rules and rights of dirs and registry keys.

  And what should I write - it WORKED.
  Let me share with you: http://www.tweaking.com/index.php?/content/page/repair_windows_firewall.html

  AND YES:
  Someone should stick this tool in front of microsoft developers, but the hard way.
  How is it, some hobby programmers can create these simple tools that beat anything from microsoft developers?

  I hope that my solution works for the many thousand other ppl that I found on the net - who could not solve their problem (even) with the firewall in vista/windows7.

  Please mark this topic as "BOLD" and possible GREEN :-)
  Thanks again for your help, John Rubdy!
