Error code 80246008

I've been trying to update and receive this error code.  When I follow the steps and you try to start BITS it will not start.  I get a message that says: "the Background Intelligent Transfer Service service on Local computer started and then stopped.  Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs. »
I tried the troubleshooter for this and had no luck either.  I searched the microsoft help site and I searched here and have yet to find an answer.  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

    My Windows 7 Pro wants to install 12 recent updates but continually fails.    The error code 80246008 brought me to what I thought was an easy solution, but it was not to be. When I arrived in 'services', I couldn't start the Background Intelligent Transfer Service.        The message was "the specified module could not be found" error code 126 there, but I don't know where to go from there.       Any help would be appreciated.

  • Window update problem (error Code: 80246008)

    I recently tried to run Windows Update only for it to face an unknown error only by giving the error code 80246008. This also seems to affect windows defender which would not be up-to-date and Games for Windows Live that would not download (error code: 80080005).

    After a lot of Googling the error code apprently (BITS) Background Intelligent Transfer Service does not work properly. When I try to manually start service (all under administrator privileges), he stops and begins to give this message:

    "The service Service on Local computer Background Intelligent Transfer began and stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs. »

    Then I downloaded the repair tool BITS (Windows6 0-KB940520 - x 86 - ENU) and ran to try to repair but it states:
    "Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) repair is unnecessary at present."

    I then tried to run Microsoft Fix It, in normal and aggressive mode, and it gets stuck and gives this error message:
    "Service"Background Intelligent Transfer Service"(BITS) was able to start. Check that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. »

    My version of Windows is Windows Vista Home Premium (Service Pack 2). Thanks for any help you can offer in this area.

    After looking at at least 20 different threads through the internet about this problem, my problem showed no evidence of a malware issue fixable (something to do with the malware by changing a registry key for % SystemRoot % and % fystemroot %), or due to other corrections mentioned work. In the end I had to do this that most of the threads, I have finally places frequent, all re - install windows.

    Thanks for your help anyway man.
