Fix for Windows Update error Code 641

This can be a simple solution for some users.  If all Microsoft updates installed correctly on your computer except security updates and you run McAfee, remove McAfee.  Dell technical support who did for me and it works.

Vinod,

Thanks a lot for your comments. I am unable to give you the precise steps to solve my problem of 641, as the removal of McAfee - and general cleaning - was made by a Dell technician, using the GoToAssist company function, while I looked on. It doesn't seem to be a very complicated process.  In my view, that McAfee can guide you in its eradication program. Try it and let me know how you do.

    Other things to check.
    . Get your updated antivirus program and start safe mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan mode without failure. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools.

  • Pavilion dv6t-2000: Post recover process reimage disk - windows update error code a 8024, 000

    Hello

    After replacing my old HDD with a new SSD, I successfully used my purchased 1 & 2 recovery discs to reload Windows 7 x 64.  Now, I am able to connect to the internet and navigate through Internet Explorer, but I can't get Windows Update to work.  I get this error: Windows Update 8024A 000 error Code.

    I researched and found this fix:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows8_1-update/Windows-Update-error-code-8024a00...

    However, after you follow the steps to stop services, rename the specified files, register the dll, and then finally to leave the services, I'm still having the problem.  I also ran a utility "fix" looking for issues with the Windows Update utility, it has been correctly executed and said it solved the problem, but the problem persists.  I get more a 8024, 000 of the error, but the update still does not work.

    I don't him have not yet tried this, because of the weather, but will plan no later than today:

    In safe mode, access c:\windows\ and rename C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to SoftwareDistribution.old.
    OK and restart.

    I also tried to upgrade to the latest version of the Windows Update utility which has as well.  I can install other applications (e.g., Norton anti-virus, java, adobe flash player) without problem.

    I noticed that I have not installed ServicePack 1, I did before as I have reimagee my computer. I need to install this first?

    Anyone has any ideas, or did I miss something?

    Your help is appreciated!

    I would check to see if you have a Trojan or a virus on your system.  He saw several cases with that error and it has been resolved by removing the Trojan horse and reboot your system. Once the Trojan horse has been removed, they were able to install from Windows Update again. It seems possible that your Windows installation has been damaged deliberately by a Trojan horse to avoid you update your system or remove the Trojan horse.

    Hi all.

    solution:

    Download the new technology Intel® Rapid storage (RAID) driver 11.6.0.1030 version

    of http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=21852&ProductFamily=Software+Products&ProductLine=Chipset+Software&ProductProduct=Intel%c2%ae+Rapid+Storage+Technology+ (Intel % c2% ae + RST) & lang = fra and install in "normal" mode.

    This works.

    The Windows update error code appears after a hard drive replacement, and most providers have only this driver in version 9. XX or 10.xx.

    This driver 11 version solves the problem with windows Update error A 8024, 000.
