Error code 80072efe on automatic update of Windows
Running Windows Vista Home Service Pack 2 installed. Firewall works, as it is Anti virus; There is no conflicting programs. Internet explore is to function, but he doesn't let me update! >:( I tried all the advice that I met and I always find myself in the windows area 7. Can't afford to move to 7. (too bad because Vista's pants.)
It's so now I try the automatic update, I get the error 80072EFE code and I tried everything.
Please help my laptop is too pretty to die!
The straw
What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription? What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications? What third-party firewall (if applicable)? Who were these applications that run in the background when you installed SP2?
A (another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

Windows 7 - error Code: 80072EFE (cannot install updates)
I can't get windows updates: using Windows7 & IE8. Last update was right on 18/06/2010 and for some Win7 updates are blocked or I get this error 80072EFE code. I bought a registry Fixer that said he could solve this problem, but it did not. Troubleshooting in Win7 will not fix the problem. I tried other suggestions of forums, but they do not work, some offer suggestions for Vista. Vista and Win7 are different. I use McAfee Total Protection Service and it automatically uninstalls the Windows Firewall. Even if I disable McAfee error code is displayed. If anyone can help with this? Thank you

During the recent updates for 2 or 3 weeks: Office 2010 (KB2202188) 32-bit definition update Office 2010 (KB982726) 32-bit, OneNote 2010 (KB2288640) 32-bit, Outlook Social Connector (KB2289116) 32-Bit and update of security for Microsoft Works 9 (KB2092914) have failed to install. I installed Microsoft Office 2010 on this 64-bit computer on the site in July of 2010. How can I get rid of these 32-bit updates and get the correct update as they try to install every time I have shut down my computer. Unchecking them in the window updates to automatic update does not work.

error code 0x8007f0f4 on security update for windows XP
I get an error code: 0x8007f0f4 on a security update for windows XP (KB2481109) can someone help me with this?
I need emergency assistance.
Thank you
Ok. I am back.
Have you tried the manual steps in the bulletin after the correction, it did not work? Please answer.
Start > run > type chkdsk/r > press on enter or OK > enter Y at the prompt > Reboot
When she returns to the top, click on start > run > eventvwr.msc > press on enter or OK > go to Application, Type: Information, Source: Winlogon. Paste and copy in a txt file and then try to download and install the manual update of http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=D67E4D8C-AEB9-45E6-9555-7456C5540475
If it fails, paste the contents of the file txt on your next reply. Also download the KB2481109.log on your SkyDrive (if you have an account here, you automatically have a SkyDrive account) public folders and add the URL of it to the next reply.
I fear that we will have to do a replacement of manual file in the end, but let's try this first.

Sudden appearance of error STOP C000021A after automatic update of Windows
Everyone knows a sudden STOP errors after that update Microsoft has done for his actions in the background? I'm setting up a SL500 for a client who has crashed all of a sudden with a STOP C000021A error. This error number (and the minidump file) point about csrss.exe crashing. The machine is no longer usable in 'normal' mode but it does not start in "safe" mode A review of the microsoft update log file reports the accident happening right after that the update ran. Before I nuke XP and opt for a restore to factory (as well as reinstall/configuration) I would like to know if others have seen this happen recently.
In response to my own question here: I managed to do that work again. It turns out that the automatic update is more or less malware Microsoft's "Office Genuine Advantage". Remember, once again, why people accept this type of behavior of a business entity... No, not only to accept but reward in continuing to do business with them. Something in the water maybe?

Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Vista firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode.
