• I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2. Is there a way to delete records of only updates of failed or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

  I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2.

  Is there a way to delete the records of 'detail' of only updates of failure or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

  I just installed hotfix for Windows (KB947821).

  It looks like a lot of my earlier 'failed' and 'Cancelled' updates are automatically updated and installed, and successfully, I might add.

  Some dates in some records do not seem much sense. I guess I'm looking for a way to select the records, I want to get rid of.

  Help?

  It's not really a taken way in charge to remove only the cancelled or failed updates. These are taken from windows logs and displayed in the history. Steps that Jose post is a way to remove all files in history and will remove all updates as well as a failed/cancelled updates successfully.

• History of Windows Update and point - GONE of restore system.

  My computer started having problems Impossible to install updates. I have accumulated nearly 100 of them! I decided to try to install them in groups of 5 or 6. Which seem to help, all but one, KB948465.

  Last night, I decided to try to install the updates / stop feature? It turn off fine, but when I turned back, I started to do all these pop ups tell me one thing or one other had not loaded due to an error and I wanted to report it. Then Windows froze, I couldn't open the Start Menu and my partially frozen Windows Sidebar charge n. I used the Task Manager to get outta there.
  When I restarted and tried to use F11 to do a system restore to an earlier date, I was told that I have had no restore points! Now that is bull bc I had manually set the and was also on Auto.
  By some miracle I return to my office and there I am trying to find an error code that WinUpdate, I said I have no story and I had NEVER installed or did a scan for the updates! What? I had just installed nearly 100 updates in groups of 5 or 6, remember?

• How to remove, or clean all MS updates in my journal of history? Windows XP SP3. IE8

  username: bottomtime - e-mail: * address email is removed from the privacy *

  Hello

  Recognizing the valuable suggestion provided by Jose Antonio Ponton Posada on 13 April, I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below for faster results.

  Rename the DataStore folder in the software distribution folder:

  1. click on the 'Start' menu on the main screen of Microsoft Windows. Select all programs to access all the programs and options available on the system.

  2. Select "Run" in the Windows menu. A box will appear that gives you the ability to open and run a specific folder

  3. Enter the following '% windir%\SoftwareDistribution\' in the menu 'run '. You are then taken to the section of the Distribution of software detected on your computer

  4. open the folder "data store". This folder contains all the files associated with the Windows updates, run in the past. To clear the history, you need to delete all the contents of this folder

  Restart your computer and you will have a clear history of Windows Update.

  I was checking my Windows Update history and noticed a few pages of updates that were not downloaded.  I printed the and proceededto make them manually.  In the middle of download I realized that I did not updated for Word 2003.  When I tried to do, I got and error message: 'the extensions have not been installed.

  I'm used to be able to do this update.

  I went to the information system and it has a Web Site for a catalog update from Ms.  This is scary because I would lay (navigation) with my registry, I think that?

  Go to the datastore folder, and delete the content. Reboot and re-scan updated them.

  I did the above, after following the instructions of MowGreen wuauserv and bits.

  After restarting the PC, the Windows Update page includes all the options and now shows the box who had disappeared.

  The only thing I lost was the history of Windows Update.

• Windows update results in it being impossible to restart

  People,

  It just happened on both of my notebooks from HP. Both are running Windows 7 Enterprise. There was an update to Windows requiring the box needs to be restarted. When the computer reboots, the two books could not start. Fortunately, it gives you an option to roll back. At least, I'm back and more.

  I was looking in the history of Windows Update to see what has been updated. On the same machine, I see that KB2447568 has been applied. On the other machine, I see no update for today. I wonder why he asked me to reboot.

  Both machines are running AVG 2011.

  The machine where KB2447568 has been applied, I see an error in the registry 'Package KB2447568 doesn't have to be changed to the intermediate state. Status: 0x800f0816. »

  KB2447568 is for IE 8 compatibility view list for Windows 7 for x 64 systems.

  Someone has an idea of what could be the problem.

  Thanks in advance for your help.
