Failed to update Windows XP SP3: error 127
Recently, a friends PC has been visited by a technology professional and, since then, then the Windows Update has been disabled.
- Re-installed SP3 - no effect
- I tried Microsoft FixIt: said problem detected: However, it does not fix it. It says Windows Update directory is different from the default
- Tried all the suggestion as indicate in How to reset the Windows Update components?. Steps 6 fully working mode without fail only. End result was without effect
- Install the latest Windows Update Agent has generated an error.
- "Chat" used Customer Support service. Was directed to call the technical assistance.
Sorry for the explanation of front light, slammed other work... I finished by comparing the service wuauserv with an unaffected system registry keys and replacing the values and remove the extra keys that should not exist. I did not keep track of all the destruction, sorry. the main keys are found at HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv
and the subkeys
I will try to upload a picture or a link to a picture of what these key should look like for most of the systems later. (use at your own risk because each system may be slightly different)
just be careful to change your registry database - make backups of critical files.
before I did I also deleted and restored all files that begin with "wu" in the windows\system32 folder from another computer. (Windows should automatically restore all files, but does not restore the wups2.dll file in my case) (maybe to stop the BITS service before you can delete the files.)
and after the reinstatement of wups2, everything worked normally.
Looks like some maleware attack those keys / files
the registry keys I've seen actually called maleware the wuauserv service files. so when I cleaned the computer he deleted these files and thus broke the wuauserv service, until I put the service back to normal.

Microsoft is committed to solve the problem which has continued for months. Promises, promises. The genesis of the issue took place in the summer 2013 and has been reported in this community after the updates of August, when it was reported that the last cumulative update of security for September KB2870699 be downloaded and installed manually set the CPU of fortification to Windows Update. The linked thread shows this being reported in September and a month the well-known universal question went from bad to worse, with the installation of the updated cumulative security for IE being the fix manually. The problem has been compounded by a bad Microsoft Fix it tool that was linked by Microsoft as the fix for Windows Update problems, but the difficulty bad it tool would then instantly to corrupt the registry of a computer of the user and cause an additional problem that would make the BITS and the two stop work, worsening the problem instead of fix windows update problem. 971058 is the famous set and there are other iterations that have the same bad code and cause the corruption of the same register.
