I downloaded that and cleaned up the whole registry, but still get the error codes when you try to update. 13 updates are not currently installed.

    When checking for updates (not that I need to), I get this error: 80070424

    When you try to download updates, I get this: 80070057

    Please, I beg you. Help. And please be as descriptive and simple as possible; I know that jack _ on computers.

    Preparatory stage: download the Norton Removal Tool and McAfee Consumer products removal tool (since you do not know which, if any, the free trial is preinstalled on the computer) and save them to your desktop (or the desktop of another computer), and then transfer the two executables (i.e. Norton_Removal_Tool.exe;) MCPR.exe) to a brand new, never been used the flash drive.

    However, when I try this, Windows Update Standalone install displays the message"this update does apply to your system."

    I can live with that (if the message is actually true). But if if this patch does not apply to my system, then why Windows Update keep trying to install it as an update 'important '? How can I get off the list so that the Windows Update log is not cluttered with all of the failed attempts?   Finally, I ran Windows Update Fixit tool available.  He fixed a couple of things (default location, another minor config) but not this problem.

    P.S. running BitDefender 2012 if it matters...

    To answer my own question, you can reset the status of the following method KB2509997 8 download and rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution. It would be nice if there was a less force brute to do this, because she loses all your update story and settings, but at least it works.

    Hello

    System update readiness tool will take some time, so I suggest you wait a while until the process is completed.

    You can find newspapers by accessing this folder.

    c:\Windows\logs\cbs\checksur.log

    I would suggest trying the following steps and check.

    Method 1:

    Note: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    Back up the registry - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry

    Methods 1 and 2 require changes in the registry to do. Make sure that you back up the registry before you proceed.

    I would have you look at the article-

    How to reset the Windows Update components?

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    Method 2-

    I would have you look at the article-

    I read on another thread that security antivirus software or others could cause this problem, but I still have to install it all because I read that it can interfere with some updates from Microsoft.
